Background Information
Breast Enhancement: London's Nip n Tuck Surgery provide this popular cosmetic surgery procedure, making it available to women who wish to improve the appearance and size of their breasts.
An incision for placement of your implants can be made underneath your breast, just above the crease; around the lower edge of your areola (the pigmented skin surrounding your nipple); or in your armpit. A pocket is created for the implant either behind your breast tissue or behind the muscle between your breast and chest wall.
Mr Jawad will discuss with you the current evidence on which type of breast implant is best for you, and how long your breast implant is likely to last. A careful medical history will also be taken to ensure there are no reasons why you shouldn't have a breast enhancement procedure. All risks will also be discussed with you. If you have experienced healing problems with any past surgical treatments or if you are prone to keloid (red, angry, raised) scars, Mr Jawad may not recommend breast enhancement for you or may caution you that scars could be very visible.
The Operation
Breast enhancement / augmentation is usually performed under a general anaesthetic. The surgery generally takes about ninety minutes. You should be able to return home soon after the surgery. Often patients go home in the afternoon following surgery in the morning, or they may require just a night's stay in the clinic. Most patients find that they can return to work after a few days' recuperation.
