Breast Augmentation
Implant augmentation remains the most popular cosmetic procedure, and with careful discussion and choice of implant Amy will aim to give you a result that simply looks an enhanced, yet proportionately sized version of you. Implants don’t have to look like you’ve had obvious surgery - women are increasingly choosing smaller implant sizes, which can produce a fantastic, natural yet enhanced look.
About augmentation
During your face to face consultation, Amy will take a full history and examination, including medical photographs with your consent, to document your progress. Its important to mention any hobbies or sports that could affect decisions regarding surgery. If you have an idea or photographs of the result you have in mind, bring these along: this is so important in terms of managing expectations - sometimes what we think we want may not be possible or truly the best option!
​
Amy will talk you through photographs of previous patients who have undergone similar procedures, in order for you to have a real life idea of outcomes. Some patients may have had implants as part of their cancer reconstruction: this will of course give a different outcome to cosmetic implants.
​
Depending on the result of this examination and discussion, Amy will give her recommendations about what she believes is in your best interests. Implant augmentation may be the answer; however, other options could include an uplift (with or without implant), or together you may decide on no surgery at all.
​
Motiva implants are one of the market leaders, and Amy uses this brand routinely for reconstructive and cosmetic cases, as she feels they give a superior appearance, with a low rate of capsular contracture. The Smooth Silk surface means ultra low risk of anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL), which should be discussed with all patients considering implant surgery. Implants are available with the new Ergonomic gel, which moves and feels more like natural tissue.
Amy does not usually use drains for this procedure, will advise about post-op bras and aftercare. Depending on theatre scheduling and how you feel post-op, you may be able to go home the same day! Amy generally prescribes antibiotics through a drip whilst in hospital, and 5 days of tablet antibiotics to go home with.
Prices
A fixed price for all augmentation surgery is impossible: the price will vary depending on the complexity of surgery, need for symmetrisation, whether the implant needs to be under the muscle. Amy will discuss your individual case with you.
