Women choose to have a breast enlargement, commonly referred to as a 'boob job' and medically known as a breast augmentation, because they are unhappy with their breasts and having this procedure will increase their breast size creating a larger, fuller shape.
Breast enlargement surgery is the UK's most popular form of cosmetic surgery has the highest satisfaction rate. It is a popular choice for women who have always wanted to have bigger breasts or women post pregnancy and breast feeding. It is also popular for women who have lost weight resulting in lost breast tissue. Having a breast enlargement can help women regain their body confidence making them feel more feminine. Breast implants are available in many different sizes and profiles.
The breast enlargement procedure is usually performed under a general anaesthetic and takes approximately 1 hour to perform. A small incision, approximately two inches, is made in the natural crease of the breast and the surgeon then creates a pocket for the breast implant to sit. Breast augmentation can be done either underneath the muscle or over the muscle depending on the current breast size and shape. This can be discussed with the surgeon who will advise what will achieve the best result. This procedure can be done as day surgery however an overnight stay is usually advised.
After the procedure you will need to take a week off work, this can vary slightly depending on what type of job you have. A support bra will also need to be worn for six weeks. This will help the breast implants settle and will also be more comfortable for the patient. You are usually required to have a one week check up with a nurse and a six week check up with your surgeon.
