Breast Implants/Breast Augmentation London Harley Street and Bucks

Breast Implant Surgery is more commonly known as Breast Enlargement or Breast Augmentation Surgery. It is a cosmetic surgery procedure that is performed under general anaesthetic where breast implants are inserted into the breast pocket to enlarge the breast.

In British Association of Aesthetic Surgeons (BAAPS) 2021 annual audit, Breast Augmentation or breast implants surgery accounted for 4,023 procedures and was rated the top cosmetic surgery procedure for 2021.

Choosing the right place and surgeon to have your Breast Enlargement procedure with is one of the most important steps. We encourage patients to have multiple consultations and come prepared with a list of all the questions they would like to ask the surgeon. Common questions include;

What is the best type of breast implant?

 At The Private Clinic we offer a range of implants and our surgeons will all have a preference over which implants they use. During your consultation they will give you a detailed assessment to find the best type, shape and profile of breast implant to suit you and give you the results you are hoping for.

Will the implant be placed over or under the muscle?

There are two main positions that plastic surgeons use when placing breast implants in the breast pocket; over the muscle and under the muscle.

Over the muscle is usually recommended for patients who do not have enough natural breast tissue to cover the breast implant.

By placing the implant under the muscle, it provides more sufficient coverage to avoid a fake and obvious appearance. Although known as ‘under the muscle’ the implant is not actually placed completely under the muscles and it instated partially behind the muscle and partially behind the breast gland. Your surgeon may refer to this as a dual plane technique but is commonly known as under the muscle.

Implants are placed in front of the muscle or over the muscle for patients who the surgeons feel have enough natural breast tissue to conceal the shape of the breast implant giving patients a more natural result.

What is the recovery time for breast enlargement?

Breast Augmentation surgery does involve a period of recovery time. The procedure itself is usually performed as day-case surgery meaning you will not be required to stay overnight and free to leave in the hours following surgery to recover at home. We advise patients to take at least 1 week off work, ideally 2.

Patients will be provided with pain medication to help with any discomfort once the anaesthetic has worn off. Exercise and strenuous activity should be avoided for 4-6 weeks and only returned too once given the go-ahead from the surgeon or nursing team.

Breast Surgeons at The Private Clinic

We have a team of expert breast surgeons all of whom are registered with the General Medical Council (GMC) and many have professional memberships with medical bodies such as The British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS), The British Association of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons (BAPRAS) and Royal College of Surgeons (RCS).

How much do breast implants cost?

Although the cost of a Breast Enlargement procedure can be a big part of your decision, it should never be the deciding factor. Breast augmentation costsstart from £7,350 but you will need to attend a consultation to get a personalised quote based on what you require from surgery.

At The Private Clinic, our quotes have no hidden extras and offer patients the best cover. A consultation with one of our expert breast surgeons is £100.

If you are still feeling undecided, you can book a consultation with one of our patient coordinators who are very experienced and can offer information on breast enlargement procedures before you commit to a clinical consultation with a surgeon. A consultation requires a £25 refundable deposit to hold your place.
