This is why everyone thinks Taylor Swift has had a boob job

June 24, 2016 by

The Metro

The interest came after new snaps of the singer, while out at a Selena Gomez gig with new love Tom Hiddleston, appear to show her with a fuller bust.

Now people are suggesting the willowy pop star might have gone under the knife – but could the different shape just down to Taylor’s clothing or bra?

After she met some fans in Nashville recently, the resulting pics have been posted on Twitter and people have wasted no time in declaring they show Taylor looking curvy.

[…]

Here’s what plastic surgeon Adrian Richards of The Private Clinic told us…

‘If we look back at pictures of Taylor from 2012, she seems to have a flatter chest. In these recent photos, her breasts appear more defined and larger. I would suggest that she has had breast implants.

‘The implants appear to be fairly moderately sized and tear drop shaped. We tend to call these “low profile implants’”, because of how the implants sit and how far they come out. Low profile implants like these look natural and are slightly flatter… it’s possible to have implants which sit much further out and are taller.

‘Taylor has a ‘gazelle’ like shape – she is tall and lean. So for her, lower profile implants are more appropriate because they offer a more natural looking breast lift and enhancement, which suits her.’

Boob job Brits to hit beaches

June 28, 2016 by

The Daily Star

Daily Star Online can exclusively reveal women are opting for bigger breasts to hit the beach with this summer.

Almost half of Brits going under the knife this June are planning to enhance their boobs.

But the women braving plastic surgery are opting for just two or three cup sizes bigger.

[…]

Mr Adrian Richards, Consultant Plastic Surgeon at The Private Clinic, said: “Interestingly, the patients I see today are after far more subtle results.

“Most are interested in increasing by one or two cup sizes.

“They are rarely looking for size DD or larger.

“The overall trend in recent years has been to move towards subtle, natural enhancements.

It is incredibly important that the patient feels comfortable with the size of implant they have chosen.

“They want to feel natural and not as though they have changed their body so dramatically that it no longer feels like their own.”

Has Taylor Swift had a second boob job?

June 28, 2016 by

Heat Magazine

It’s widely claimed she boosted her boobs a few years, but last weeks pics of Taylor looking busty in a red top had fans claiming she’s gone under the knife again.

But surgeon Adrian Richards from The Private Clinic tells Heat it could just be down to a good bra.

“It’s very likely she’s had one procedure” he says.

“But in the most recent picture she could well be wearing a heavily padded bra.”

Best Breast Reduction, Uplift and Breast Auto Augmentation Surgeons 2019

A breast auto augmentation procedure is a specialised plastic surgery procedure that uses your own natural breast tissue to reshape and enhance the shape of your breasts without the need for an implant. The procedure is effective at increasing the fullness of the upper breast and correcting sagging of the breast following implant removal.

Should I Be Wearing A Bra While At Home In Lockdown?

July 6, 2020 by

Grazia

Experts weigh in on the science behind going bra free, and what it’s doing to your body.

I’m sure I’m not alone when I say there’s nothing more satisfying than taking your bra off after a long day’s work. But, since most of us have been working from home, that feeling of relief has turned into a way of life, as it seems the bra has taken a bit of a backseat.

I confess, I’ve been bra-free for probably around 80% of my time in lockdown, strategically angling the camera upwards on my Zoom meetings. At first, I was in heaven, not having to strap my H-cup boobs into my industrial constructed bras every morning. They could be free, and I would be comfy…

Except I wasn’t – it wasn’t long until the novelty wore off and the back pain started to set in. I knew that my discomfort was a direct result of not wearing a bra, but I wanted to understand exactly why. What’s the science behind it? And, is not wearing a bra causing any long-term damage to my body? I spoke to two experts to find the answers.

Mr Adrian Richards, who is one of the UK’s leading plastic surgeons at The Private Clinic of Harley St., has been specialising in breast surgery since 1999. Adrian is familiar with large breasts that seem to be supported incorrectly. ‘Women who come for a breast amalgamation, over 80% will have neck, back or shoulder ache,’ he said. Interestingly, he went on to add that their pain could be associated with their unconscious and/or conscious mind, as ‘women with big busts tend to try and minimise their busts by hunching their shoulders forward, they don’t put their shoulders back, they try and hide them. So, it’s a real problem.’

I asked Adrian what would happen over time if a woman decided not to wear a bra? ‘They would just get lower and lower. The more you can support them the less they will fall.’ Which then led me to ask if I should be wearing a bra to bed and sleeping in it? To which he assured me that ‘at night it’s not so important because the gravity isn’t there.’

Which breast is best?

November 10, 2016 by

The Daily Mail

From ‘big and bouncy’ 1980s busts to today’s subtle lifts, a surgeon reveals how implants have changed through the decades (and the celebrities we have to thank)

  • Surgeon Adrian Richards reveals how breasts have changed over the years
  • Says Pamela Anderson fuelled a surge in ‘fuller breasts’ in the 1980s
  • While women in the noughties opted for ’round, very firm’ implants 
  • Predicts popularity for ‘subtle’ enhancements will grow in coming years

From over-sized implants to subtle lifts, there have been major changes to the size and shape of the ‘perfect’ bust over the years.

Each decade brings with it a new aesthetic – and women are happy to spend serious money to achieve the ‘right’ look.

Adrian Richards, consultant plastic surgeon at The Private Clinic of Harley Street, talked FEMAIL through the key trends over past 40 years – and the celebrities who helped to make them marketable.

The 1980s  

‘In 1980s, we witnessed demand for larger implants grow,’ says Mr Richards. ‘Interest in bigger, fuller breasts was perhaps most notable in the US, where celebrity icons like Pamela Anderson and Carmen Electra helped fuel the trend.

‘When we look back at TV shows and films from the 1980s, we can see that a lot of iconic female stars showcased large, round breasts on tiny frames. In the UK during this time, however, the demand for larger breasts was less noticeable, and women who sought implants remained more interested in moderately sized implants.’

The 1990s

‘Demand for bigger, fuller breasts grew even more into the 1990s,’ Adrian explains. ‘In fact, this decade saw more and more women showcasing an interest in even larger sized implants. Bigger, bolder breasts were ‘in’, with the likes of Katie Price (Jordan) sporting a more augmented look.

‘In the UK women sought large, round, firm implants, and tended to opt to have these put in front of the muscle. This allowed the outline of the implant to be seen through the skin, particularly if the patient was very lean.

‘Unlike during the 1980s, by the 1990s breast implants were no longer something only the rich and famous invested in. More and more women up and down the country began to consider the possibility of an enhancement.’

The 2000s

‘The passing of the millennium marked the end of an era for larger-than-life breast implants. A slightly smaller, yet pneumatic look began to take centre stage instead. This trend was perfectly embodied by Victoria Beckham, whose DD implants appeared to sit impossibly high on her chest.

‘At this time patients demanded round, very firm implants, placed under the muscle. This form of implant, when chosen by a very slim woman, was easy to notice.

‘However, slim women who opted for implants that were too big for their bodies would likely go on to suffer with stretching and thinning of the skin, largely because of the size and firmness of the implant.

The 2010s

‘Today, when we consider trends in breast augmentation, it’s clear that bigger is no longer always necessarily better. Now, what we call low profile implants are some of the most popular amongst women in the UK.

‘Low profile implants are flatter, more subtle and offer a natural enhancement, which could perhaps go undetected should the patient prefer them to. If we look at Taylor Swift – who I believe has had implants – we can see that her breasts appear slightly larger than several years ago but yet they are not overly enhanced, nor do they sit too far out on her chest.

‘Taylor has a ‘gazelle’ like shape – she is tall and lean. So for her, lower profile implants are more appropriate because they offer a natural looking lift, which suits her. This implant is in proportion to her body.

‘Today I see more and more patients requesting this form of implant. No longer do women want implants which are hugely visible and very large – it’s all about a natural, subtle enhancement.

A GROWING TREND

The surging demand for breast implants is among factors leading to a boom in the UK’s plastic surgery market.

According to the BAAPS, the value of the industry grew from £720million in 2005 to £2.3billion by 2010, the latest figures available.

The number of breast implants was 17,000 in 2006, compared with an expected 29,000 in 2016.

‘Patients who opt for implants which are too big for their frame are also likely to go on to have difficulties in the long term. Most people have a “footprint” to the breast [the outline of the breast base on the chest wall].

‘If you go too big, the implant always comes sideways outside of the arm and can damage the breast tissue. This is a very common reason why some women go on to have breast reductions later down the line.

‘Overall, trends will come and go, but the most important thing to remember is that the size, shape and placement of the breast implants chosen should fit the patient and be in proportion to their body.

‘As time goes on, I expect to see the trend for subtle, natural implants grow as women opt for enhancements which suit their body shape and still allow them to feel natural.’
