Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure designed to increase breast volume and shape. This may be an option for individuals seeking to increase breast size or add volume that has changed over time.

Breast implants can also be combined with a breast lift when appropriate to adjust both breast position and volume. A thorough consultation will help determine the most suitable approach based on individual goals and anatomy.

Our team is committed to providing high-quality care, offering comprehensive preoperative consultations and attentive post-operative support to ensure a professional and patient-centred experience.

Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks, and results vary between individuals. It is important to consider all options carefully and seek professional medical advice before proceeding.

General risks & complications that are common to all procedures can be found here.

Specific risks and complications of a breast augmentation may include:

• Fluid build-up around the implant after surgery.
• Changes in nipple or breast sensation, which may be temporary or permanent.
• Numbness in certain areas, which can either fade over time or persist.
• Skin wrinkling, over the implant.
• Capsular contracture, where scar tissue forms around the implant, affecting its shape and softness.
• Implant size concerns, where the chosen size may not be ideal.
• Implant rupture or deflation, which may require further intervention.
• Breast asymmetry, where the breasts may not appear even.
• Calcium deposits, forming in the scar tissue surrounding the implant.
• Granulomas, or lumps in lymph nodes caused by leaking silicone.
• Difficulties with breastfeeding, including a potential reduction in milk supply.
• Challenges with breast cancer screening, as implants can obscure breast tissue in mammograms.
• Implant shifting, where they move from their original position.
• The possibility of additional surgery, to address complications.
