Implant removal and replacement near me

by Leave a Comment

If you are feeling unhappy with the appearance of your current breast implants or maybe you have experienced a problem with them such as a rupture or capsular contracture then an implant removal or replacement procedure may be right for you.

There are many reasons why you may decide to have your implants removed or replaced which can include;

  • Ruptured or deflated implants
  • Concern about the integrity of your implants – particularly after the PIP scandal
  • ‘Bottoming out’ – when the implants sink below the natural breast crease
  • Capsular contracture – when your implants become firm
  • You may be thinking about starting a family and are concerned about breastfeeding with implants
  • You may just feel that your breast implants no longer fit your body or the implants you have are the wrong shape or size

Breast Implant Removal

Implant removal or explant means that your implants are removed from your body and not replaced. The procedure will be performed under general anaesthetic and the implants are removed from the same incision used in your original procedure.

Breast Implant Replacement

Breast implant replacement is when your current breast implants are removed and then replaced with new implants. The implants do not have to be the same as your previous implants; some patients choose to go smaller whereas some may choose to go bigger in size. You can even change the type of implant that you have, the profile of the implant and the position it is placed in. As per implant removal, your surgeon will use the incision from your original procedure and you can expect the recovery to be similar to your previous breast enlargement procedure although in some cases a little easier as your tissue and skin has already been stretched.

Breast Enlargement Before and After Photos

When you are thinking about having a breast augmentation, you will be doing a lot of research to find out more about the procedure and the different decisions that you will have to make. A consultation with a plastic surgeon is a great place to find out the answers to your questions and discuss which implants would suit you the best.

Another great way to feel informed about breast surgery or any type of plastic surgery is to look at before and after photos. Here at The Private Clinic we have an array of before and after results for you to take a look at.

Here is a selection of our Breast Enlargement before and after photos;

This 34 year old patient was considering breast augmentation surgery to enhance the size of her chest. Working as a swimming instructor she was conscious of choosing implants that would suit her frame and not impact her role. The patient had 300cc medium profile implants that were placed in a sub muscular position.

This 28 year old patient came to us wanting to enhance the size of her breasts with breast implants. After having a consultation with one of our expert breast surgery specialists it was decided that 360cc high profile round implants placed over the muscle would be best to achieve the result she was aiming for.

This 30 year old patient came to us wanting a really natural breast augmentation result. It was decided that to give her the result that she wanted to achieve that 280 cc tear drop shaped implants would be best. The patient was extremely happy with the outcome.

This 29 year old patient is a mother of two and was looking for a way to restore the volume to her chest after pregnancy. It was decided that the patient should go for round, 270cc, moderate profile implants that were placed over the muscle. The patient was very happy with the natural result that replicated how her breasts looked before pregnancy.

This breast augmentation patient wanted to achieve a slightly fuller appearance to her breasts. In order to get a natural looking result the patient decided on 390cc, round, medium profile implants that were placed over the muscle. The patient was very happy with the additional fullness to her breasts that the implants created without looking unnatural.

This 40 year old patient came to see us about enhancing the appearance of her bust after she noticed a significant volume loss after losing weight. The patient went ahead with round 390cc mid profile implants placed in front of the muscle. The patient healed very well after surgery and was more than happy with the improved appearance of her chest.

This 20 year old patient simply wanted the appearance of larger breasts. She had previously lost some weight and gone from an E cup to a smaller C cup. It was important that the larger breasts did not swamp her petite frame so round, extra full projection 470cc implants were used and placed in a sub glandular position which is over the muscle. The patient was very happy with the results of her breast augmentation

This 22 year old patient wanted to increase the volume in her bust. The patient decided that she liked the look of the 300cc mid profile implants and as she had a good amount of natural breast tissue they were suitable to be placed over the muscle. The patient was pleased with the final result.

The best age to have breast augmentation

by Leave a Comment

A frequently asked question we receive is “What is the best age to have breast augmentation?’ The following blog post discusses the optimum age for breast surgery and restrictions set by breast development. We discuss the importance of emotional maturity, financial stability and considering future family plans, and explore breast augmentation over the age of fifty.

Appropriate Age for Breast Augmentation

Exceptional breast augmentation results are possible to achieve for women of every age, although, the best age for successful breast surgery is typically any age between 18 and 50 years old.

Patients between these ages can look to resolve various concerns with breast augmentation. Younger women may look to address a lack of breast volume or size. Women who have had children may experience a change in breast shape or size and desire to replicate their breasts pre-pregnancy. Mature women may find that their breasts do not look how they used to, and choose breast augmentation to boost their confidence.

Although, cautions and limitations for women between these ages exist, as discussed throughout this blog.

Breast Development and Age Restrictions

The majority of UK clinics have an age limit of 18 and over for breast enlargement surgery, at which age breasts are more likely to be fully grown and developed. Some clinics may have exceptions in exceptional circumstances, but these must be discussed with your individual surgeon.

Breast augmentation can only be considered once your breasts have fully developed to ensure that implants do not interfere with their development. It would be also difficult to determine your appropriate size, profile and shape if your breasts are still developing. Additionally, implants in developing breasts would likely result in sagging, stretched excess skin.

Everyone is different however, and can experience breast development earlier or later than others. By age 18 some may not have reached full breast development and are still ineligible for breast surgery, as breasts can continue to develop in women’s early twenties.

Pregnancy and Breast Augmentation

If you’re looking to have children in the near future, surgeons usually advise waiting till you have completed your family before undergoing a breast augmentation procedure.

During pregnancy, your breasts can significantly change in shape and the volume of your breasts will increase. If you opt to breastfeed, your breasts will also continue to be large during that time. This increase in size can cause the skin to stretch, and then shrink, and those with implants face greater risk of drooping and potentially requiring a revision in the future. Therefore, postponing breast surgery till you have completed your family helps ensure sustained and most effective results for your implants.

However many women do decide to have breast implants before having a children.

Emotional Maturity

Some patients prolong their breast augmentation decision till an age where they feel they can confidently make the decision that breast augmentation is right for them, and at that stage of their life, and where they feel fully informed about the procedure.

Generally speaking, however, a woman is ready emotionally for breast surgery after carefully considering the procedure and weighing the pros and cons. Patients should have realistic expectations, realise that breast augmentation produces long-lasting results, and understand and appreciate the potential complications and risks that are associated with breast surgery.

Financial Stability

Financial stability is also an important consideration factor. It is important to think about how breast surgery will affect your current financial situation at this stage of your life. Some clinics offer financing options and packages allowing you to spread the cost of the procedure over time, however, you should ensure that you have a stable income allowing you to make these payments.

Breast augmentation over 50

Women aged over 50 are also eligible for breast surgery. There is actually no age limit for breast augmentation procedures. Women in this age group must be aware, however, that the healing process will likely be slower. It is also important that patients ensure optimal health before surgery and achieve understanding of potential complications or risks with the procedure.

So women at any age can have breast augmentation. But it is very important to thoroughly understand and evaluate the complications, potential risks and benefits of undergoing breast surgery at different ages, prior to making your decision.

10 Post Breast Augmentation Surgery FAQs

by Leave a Comment

Once you have had your breast augmentation it is up to you to ensure you allow your new breasts to heal fully before you return to whatever you know as being normal life.

It will mean you have to make a few changes and adjustments to some activities that you will have taken for granted before but good things will come to those who listen to the advice of their surgeon!

We have decided to share our top 10 post breast augmentation surgery FAQs;

When will I be able to return home from the hospital?
Breast augmentations are usually performed as day cases so you will be returning home from the operation on the same day. This is usually around 2 hours after the procedure as you will be kept in for post-op checks before being discharged by your surgeon and/or his team.

How long do I need to wear the surgical bra?
When you wake up from your operation you will already be wearing your surgical bra. It is highly recommended that you continue to wear this bra until your plastic surgeon says otherwise. The time ranges between 4-6 weeks depending on how you are healing. You can of course switch your surgical bra for another support bra between washes.

When can I have a bath or shower?
The advice for this will vary from surgeon to surgeon. Ideally you should not be submersing the wound in water at all until after your wound check at 6 weeks. You should be able to shower a week after surgery if you take care not to get the wound excessively wet. Take care to pat dry the wound after your shower. In terms of having a bath, this is not really recommended however a quick shallow bath where the wounds are not underwater should be fine.

How long do I need to sleep on my back?
You should ideally be as upright as possible when sleeping after breast augmentation surgery which means sleeping on your back in an elevated position ideally for up to 6 weeks.  This may feel very unnatural especially for those who are used to sleeping on their front or sides. We advise that you sleep on your back to help reduce any swelling or discomfort but it also avoids the risk of the implant shifting before it is fully healed.

Is it normal for my nipples to feel numb or overly sensitive?
You may experience numbness and tingling or be extra sensitive on the breast, nipple and scar areas after your surgical procedure. This is completely normal and any changes should return to normal 3-6 weeks after the operation.

When can I drive?
We do not recommend you drive until your plastic surgeon has said you can. Your reaction times may be affected and you do not want to risk any sudden movements or pulling of muscles in the breast area during the early stages of recovery. You should also wait until you are finished your course of pain medication which can make you drowsy.  If you are driving quite quickly post-surgery, check that you are still covered by your insurance and do not operate the car unless you feel you are able to safely and comfortably manoeuvre the car.

When can I buy new bras?
We would not recommend you go out and buy new bras until at least a month after surgery. This will allow for any swelling to reduce and implants to have started to settle. Although you may have been given an estimated bra size before your surgery, this is not always guaranteed so should only be taken as guidance and it may be wise to book in for a bra sizing at a store after your surgery to make sure you are buying the right size.

When can I return to work?
It is advised that you take 7-10 days off work so that you are able to rest as much as possible after your operation.  If your work involves you being a little more active, rather than sitting at a desk for example then it may be worth either seeing if you can lessen the activity or taking a few extra days. Any stretching or heavy lifting is definitely not advised in the first 10 days post-surgery.

When will my implants settle?
You might notice that your implants are sitting a little higher than you may have previously imagined. Your implants will take up to 3 months to settle into their new positions within your bust. You should notice a change in them a month after surgery and this will then continue to improve and they will become softer and a little more natural looking.

What should I do if I have any additional questions or concerns?
After your surgery you will be given a post op guide from your surgeon and their team. Your post-op guide should cover the majority of the questions you may have and all guidelines on it should be followed in order to ensure the results of your surgery are the best that they can be. If you find yourself with any additional questions or concerns you should contact your plastic surgeon or the company you booked with who will be able to put you in contact with one of their nurses. If you are in any way concerned about your healing but are unable to get in contact with your surgeon we would recommend that you get in contact with your local GP for their advice.
