Factors such as pregnancy, weight gain and weight loss may impact the results of surgery over time. Breast augmentation is a long-lasting solution, but is not permanent. Many choose to have new implants fitted years down the line, and this will be discussed upon consultation before your procedure takes place.

Our skilled and talented surgeons place the scars discretely around the nipple areola and underneath the natural breast crease. Providing the area does not get infected, the wounds should heal and the scars will be discrete and inconspicuous.

Although good to excellent results may be obtained with saline implants, compared to silicone gel implants saline implants are more likely to cause cosmetic problems such as rippling, wrinkling, and be noticeable to the eye or the touch. They also have a more “slushy” consistency compared to silicone gel implants. Furthermore if the shell of the implant should develop a small leak, the body rapidly absorbs the salt water. This results in the breast becoming flat and another operation is needed to insert a new implant. Particularly for women with very little breast tissue, or for post-mastectomy reconstruction, plastic surgeons believe that silicone gel implants are the superior device. In patients with more breast tissue however, saline implants can look very similar to silicone gel although they generally still lack the more “natural” feel of the silicone.

At Cosmetic Surgery Partners we use Nagor brand breast implants. They carry a lifetime guarantee against rupturing and are available in various sizes and profiles. The added benefit of Nagor implants is they carry the CE mark of approval which means they are deemed safe by European standards, it also guarantees that the implants have been tested not to interfere with hospital equipment, particularly life-saving apparatus.

Yes, there are cases where our surgeons will see patients who’ve been fitted with the wrong type of implant or had implants inserted to produce a less flattering and unnatural result. In some cases we’ve helped patients who have been fitted with an un-reputable or even dangerous brand of implant, such as the PIP breast implant. In all cases our surgeons are able to remove or replace the existing implant and are able to produce a result that is natural looking and flattering to the shape of your body. Some patients we see simply would like to replace their existing breast implants for a larger or smaller size.

Yes. Some patients we see are not interested in enlargement they simply want to restore normality by addressing their uneven breast sizes. Our surgeons have helped hundreds of patient’s address their uneven breasts by means of breast implants.
One high profile case was that of 24 year old Victoria Ewens who was famously helped by surgeon Nick Percival on popular TV show ‘Botched Up Bodies’.

The healing process is different for every patient, however we find on average most people are able to make a full recovery and restore all normal activities some 6 weeks after surgery.
