Breast enlargement(augmentation) procedure is performed by inserting a breast implant behind a woman's natural breast tissue. The inserted implant projects the breast tissue forward, giving a fuller breast appearance. Women of all ages have this procedure.
Enhanced breast and shape may be for the following reasons:
Dissatisfaction with original breast size
To regain or improve breast shape and size following weight loss or child birth
To correct uneven breasts (asymmetry)
Correction of congenital deformity of one or both breasts
How is the procedure peformed?
Under general anaesthesia.
Takes around one hour to perform.
Usual stay in hospital is for one night to recover.
7 - 14 days away from work
A fine incision is made in the crease-line beneath the breast itself, through the armpit, or around the underside of the nipple area. Implants can be positioned in one of two places within the breast cavity.

Results
The final result can be obscured by initial swelling. It can take up to 14 days for the initial swelling and bruising to settle down, but the residual swelling will settle down gradually over several months.
It is usual for patients to take 7 to 14 days away from work to rest and recover at home following the procedure. It is important to allow for natural healing to take place and to abstain from strenuous activity or heavy lifting for six weeks following surgery.
Initially breasts will feel firm and they will take at least six weeks to soften to a more natural appearance and feel.
This is a brief summary and a more detailed information will be given at consultation.
