What to expect at your breast surgery consultation post Covid-19 lockdown

by Leave a Comment

Lockdown has meant that our clinics have been closed for a few months now. As we look to open our clinics again, we have had to make some changes to our usual processes to ensure the safety of our patients and staff.

Whether you had a consultation that was postponed or are looking to book as a new patient, you may be wondering what to expect from your breast surgery consultation now that the lockdown is gradually being lifted.

First Breast Surgery Consultation

In the past, your first consultation – in most cases – would take place with a surgeon at your selected clinic.

The first step of your breast surgery journey will now start with a phone consultation with one of experienced plastic surgery patient coordinators. This consultation is a very important first step as it will enable us to:

  1. Find out which procedure you are interested in to help us determine your suitability.
  2. Assist you in filling out your patient registration and medical history form.
  3. Advise you of any alternative treatments that may suit your needs.
  4. Answer questions you might have regarding the procedure.
  5. Answer questions about your visit to the clinic.
  6. Answer questions about the steps involved in your breast surgery journey.

If you are deemed suitable and you wish to continue your journey, your patient coordinator will then forward your patient registration and medical history form to your chosen plastic surgery along with any clinical queries that you may have so that you are ready for the next step of your journey.

Second Breast Surgery Consultation

Once the first consultation for your breast surgery procedure has taken place, the second consultation can then be booked. This may take place over the phone, by video consultation or in person at one of our clinics.

You can find out how to get the best out of your video consultation in our blog here.

You can find out more about visiting our clinics following Covid-19 here.

One of our expert plastic surgeons will listen to you and discuss the options best suited to you, review your medical history and go through any risks and complications.

Your plastic surgeon will also discuss post-operative care and recovery so that you can make an informed decision.

If your plastic surgeon feels you are a good candidate for surgery, then you will be invited to consider progressing to treatment. All patients are given a 2-week cooling off period in which to review the information that they have been given to allow them to decide in their own time.

Booking a breast surgery date

We will continue to take daily guidance from Public Health England and the professional bodies advising our surgeons and clinicians with regards to safe surgery and treatments.

This guidance will be used to determine which procedures will be safe to undertake with key focus on protecting our patients and staff from any unnecessary risks or compromises to their recovery.

We will resume breasts surgeries when it is allowed and safe to do so which may mean that we are unable to book you a surgery date following your consultation. What we will be able to do however, is add you to your surgeons waiting list and your patient coordinator will be in contact once dates become available. Please note that all patients will be required to meet with their surgeon in person before booking a procedure date so that they are able to carry out a full assessment before going ahead with any type of breast surgery procedure.

What is a Breast Auto Augmentation

by Leave a Comment

One of the biggest concerns following an implant removal is drooping of the breast or loss of volume particular in the upper portion of the breast. This can often cause patients to avoid breast implant removal surgery or seek implant replacement which may not be what they want.

It is always hard to tell what a patients breasts are going to look like following an implant removal procedure as every patient will heal differently. It is possible for your breasts to return to how they were prior to your original breast augmentation procedure but this is unlikely to occur instantly and will be a gradual process over time.

For some patients it may be over optimistic to expect this to happen, especially if you have had implants for a number or years and if they are particularly big in size which may have caused the skin to stretch. In cases like this a breast auto augmentation may be recommended.

What is Breast Enlargement Auto Augmentation Surgery

Previously, in order to correct breast sagging following an implant removal procedure, a breast uplift / mastopexy would have been suggested.

A breast uplift is a cosmetic procedure, where the excess skin from the breast is removed so that the remaining skin can be tightened and the nipple moved to a higher position, resulting in a firmer appearance. This is a great option following a breast implant removal however surgeons have since discovered a new technique called a breast auto augmentation which allows them to restore lost volume to the upper portion of the chest without the need for an implant.

A breast auto augmentation is commonly mistaken for a mastopexy or breast uplift procedure. Although similar; a breast auto augmentation is more of a breast reconstruction procedure  and uses the natural breast tissue to help increase volume in the upper pole without adding any volume or weight to lower pole.

How a breast auto augmentation works

A breast auto augmentation procedure first starts with an anchor or lollipop shaped incision being created from around the areola down to the lower portion of the breast within the inframammary fold.  The breast implant will then be extracted from the breast before the outer layer of excess skin known as the epidermis is removed. The breast tissue from the lower portion of the breast is then rotated up into a new position in the upper portion of the chest within the breast pocket. The breast tissue is not cut so as to preserve the blood supply, but it is instead secured into place on the chest wall and upper breast tissue. The nipple and areola is then relocated to a higher position before any excess skin is removed and the incision is closed with absorbable stitches. The result is a more youthful-looking shape and appearance to the breasts.

A breast lift, also known as Mastopexy is a surgery which enables the patient to recuperate the firmness and shape of the breasts. It is ideal for patients who suffer from saggy or empty breasts or perhaps are unhappy about the positioning or size of their nipples.

The breast lift procedure consists on the re-tightening of the skin after the excess skin has been removed and the nipple has been repositioned. The result, firmer, smoother and rejuvenated breasts. The most common scar resulting from a breast lift is the lollipop scar, however, if the breast lift need is minor then a small scar can result on the lower bottom of the areola.
