What is Breast Augmentation surgery?

Breast augmentation is the surgical placement of breast implants to increase fullness, add shapeliness and improve symmetry, or to restore volume lost after pregnancy or significant weight loss. Breast augmentation is often paired with a breast lift to also correct sagginess. During breast augmentation surgery, breast implants are placed under the chest muscle or between the chest muscle and breast tissue through an incision around the nipple, under the breast or under the arm. At London Plastic Surgery, we’ll talk you through every breast implant placement and incision option to help you make the best decision for your body. A breast augmentation procedure typically takes 1.5–2 hours and is performed under general anaesthetic, meaning the patient is asleep. Patients go home the same day as the surgery. Most recipients take a week off work and are able to return to full activity within 4–6 weeks. Final results of breast augmentation surgery can be expected by three months.
