Breast Enlargement/Implants
The purpose of having breast implants (Mammaplasty) is to enlarge and increase the fullness of the breasts, alter the shape of the breasts or repair them after an accident or surgery.
What does the procedure involve?
Most breast enlargements are performed under general anesthetic and this is the preferred method of most surgeons though in some cases it may be performed under local anesthetic, referred to as twilight surgery. The operation is the same for both but with twilight surgery the patient is awake, though heavily sedated, during the procedure and is able to talk to the surgeon and nurses.
During the operation the surgeon will make an incision either underneath the armpit, beneath the nipple, underneath the breast or in the abdomen. A pocket is then made under the breast tissue (or in some cases under the chest muscle) and the implant is inserted before the incision is stitched up. Implants may be filled with silicone or saline (salt water).
What are the benefits and what are the risks?
Benefits
After surgery, breasts will be larger and more pert. Because there is such variety in the shape and size of the implants available it allows the patient to achieve the look they are after.
Risks
One possible risk of having breast implants is implant hardening which is also known as capsular contracture. This occurs when the layer of scar tissue that the body normally grows around the implant contracts or shrinks. This can be quite painful and can lead to the implant losing its shape. If this occurs then the implant will have to be removed. In some cases rippling or creasing may occur around the nipple area and some women may experience a loss of sensation in the nipples or in the breast. As with all types of surgery infection is a possible risk of having breast implants, though this can usually be alleviated with antibiotics. Rupture or leakage of breast implants can occur but is rare. In some instances breast implants may also affect the ability to breastfeed. Lastly, there is some concern that breast implants may affect the reliability of mammograms, as the machines which are used may not always be able to ’see’ past the implant. This is known as mammography interference.
Is it the right procedure for me?
Many people opt for implants because they are unhappy with the shape and size of their breasts. This may be because they feel they are generally too small or have shrunk and become saggy looking after pregnancy or significant weight loss.
How long does the procedure take?
The length of surgery depends on the extent of the work being done but can take between one and three hours.
What happens after surgery?
You will be required to stay in hospital overnight though you may be allowed home after a few hours following twilight surgery. You will need to take a week off work to rest and avoid exercise for one month. When you go home you will be very sore, bruised and swollen. You will be wrapped with gauze bandage and have drainage tubes placed in the incision. After several days these will be removed and you will have to wear a supportive, non-underwired bra for several more weeks after which the swelling will have gone down. Any scars may take several months for the pinkness to reduce.
How much is it likely to cost?
Prices can vary between £4,000 and £7,000

Hello,
I would like some advice..I live in Wales so am wondering if there is a clinic in cardiff?+if they perform surgery in cardiff? Are all breast enlargement consultations free? Could I have a consultation on a saturday? How long from the time you have a consultation till you have the op? I am really nervous about this as I have never had to go into hospital for anything..but have been wanting to have big boobs since I was 13!!I’m 24 now+am 34A which I think is a joke!I don’t think tops look right on me because there’s nothing there.(would like to go up to a nice full c-cup..natural looking as possible)What is your 5year aftercare?would I have to pay out again if it went wrong? cuz you hear of so many horror stories about boob jobs gone wrong. Would love to have this done but am soooo scared.
Hi Miss Ali,
We do not have a clinic in Wales but we do have consultation days cumming up in Cardiff on Thursday 1st November and Friday 30th November. This will take place at the St Davids Hotel and Spa Havannah Street, Cardiff Bay.
Yes, all of our consultations are free including your consultation with your surgeon. We would not perform the proceedure in Wales. I believe the nearest hospital would be the Manchester Lifestyle hopital. There would be no extra cost for travel. As you are so worried my best advice would be to come for the free consultation. That way you can have all your questions answered face to face and one of our trained patient co-ordinators can talk you through the process step by step. Hope this helps!

How much would it cost to go from an A cup to a C cup? I’ve read that MYA breast enlargements cost between £4000 and £7000- I would really like to know what the price would be, I don’t think I could afford much more than £4000.
Oh and where would the surgery take place? I live in the midlands so would the surgery take place in Birmingham or one of the main clinics (eg London)?
Cheers

Hi,
I had breast implants 12 years ago with Transform - no problems at all - very happy.
I now would like them changing for larger implants having, thankfully, put on some weight since then. Transform have told me that this would cost more because I will be having an explant and then an implant.
I was wondering what your charges maybe for carrying out this procedure please?
Also, where are your hospitals that would carry out my augmentation (I’m from Doncaster).
Many thanks.
Amanda.
Hi Amanda,
I believe the cost starts at £4,700 however we are running a competition on our website for you to win £200 to wards a procedure of your choice. There are 50 winners so you have a really good chance of wining.

Hi Kelly,
You would need to have finished breast feeding and get your weight to around what you know you can maintain.
We have had a patient who did all the above and had breast enlargement four months after giving birth.

hiya. i am 18 years old and i am really wanting to have a breast enlargement and i have done since i was 16. I am a 32AA and i always got told that i would develop but unfortunatley i never have. I would like to be a 32C.although im a size 6 i dont know if to go to a 32B.because i do just want them to look as natural as possible. I have no self confidence and i hate how small my chest is.i love shopping for clothes and i am fed up of having to wear tops that cover me up, all my friends can wear gorgeous low cut fashion ones when we go out. i love evry other part of my body except my chest and i feel with having surgery i will feel more girlie,confident and so much happier.I will be definatley contacting you but i feel i will be told that i wont be able to have surgery as i maybe too small. And i am nervous of the thought of surgery but this is something i feel will be a huge impact on my life.it will definatley be worth it.i was wondering hw long you have to wait to have a consultation with the surgeon. x

You can have breast enlargement at 18 years old.

hi i am going to have breast enlargement surgery from an 32AA to a 32 c , just wondering :
1. in the consultation do you get to try on what the breasts would look or feel like?and is it absolutely free?
2. is there any discount for students (probably not but worth a try asking!)?
3. if i get a loan does there have to be a credit check if so do u have to pay for it and does it have to be completly clean, can i pay it off over more than 5 yrs ?, can i pay lump sums off in one go throughout the course of repayment ?
4. is there any way the NHS can fund any of this surgery as my breast size has caused me to have depression and i have been seeing a therapist and been on medication due to this problem with my image?
5. do u have to have a full time job or can u have a part time one to get finance ?
6.does it matter if u smoke , even if its only 5 a day
7. will they refuse you if you dont weigh a lot? i know it sounds silly just something i have heard just want to make sure.. im 5ft 3 and 8 stone is that ok?
… i am desperate to get this operation and it is really affecting my life please reply , many thanks x
Hi Ashleigh,
Our consultations are absolutely free and during the consultation you are able to hold and feel different impant profiles. We don’t have a discount for students but always ask if there are any offers on.
I doubt the NHS would fund any of it as they are cutting down on cosmetic procedures. It is advised to stop smoking as it has been proven that it affects healing. Your weight sounds fine.
With regards to finance, I cannot help. You would need to come in for a free consultation to discuss this.

Hi,
i know that this is probably really cheeky but id like your opinion please! I had a breast enlargment done by another firm in july this year. Everything went fine until the middle of august when i got an infection in my right breast. I took antibiotics which seemed to clear it up but since then it has been firmer compared to my left breast. But i saw my surgeon and he said there was nothing to worry about. Then last week, had a few shooting pains in my right breast and on sunday it started to be painful again. Then last night it had got harder and alot hotter compared to my left breast. As these were the same simptoms as before i tried phoning my surgeon yesterday and today but hes not got back to me yet. So iv been to the doctors today to get some more antibiotics but am quite worried about what is causing this. To me it seems there must be some kind of problem with the implant or the infection did not fully clear last time. Could you please give me your thoughts? and also if it is just an infection which can be sorted will that breast be as soft as the other one eventually? Many thanks x

Without seeing you we can not advise.
You are best off going back to the company you had it done with and seeing what they can do.

Please can you confirm the follwoing;
How much roughly is the average Breast enlargement operation?
How do we choose and agree on a size?
Do i meet the surgon at a consultation, and is that added onto the cost?
If there are any complications,are these recitfied at no extra cost?
What if im not happy with the results?
Sorry, i am wanting an enlargement and im extreamly worried about it going wrong,I have recieved a quote from the the three shires in northampton and not sure if it is a little too much. Please help!
I am 50 is that too late for a breast enlargement? I have always had slightly saggy boobs but recently lost weight and now have saggy empty boobs. Would a enlargement rectify this or would I need to have an uplift too? Since losing the weight I for once feel good about myself then I look at where my breast should be and oh dear.

hey, iv been thinking about breat enlargment for years, iv now finally plucked up my courage to do it, i would just like to ask a few questions. i am six 6-8 and slightly underweight medically not from dieting, i just have a fst metabolism will that affect me, do i have to gain the weight before i have the operation? also is there any online virtual breast augmentation programs you know of, that i can look at from home to see what size i would like to go up to? many thanks for your time. katex

hi, im 18 years old and i beleive im a size 36C, to me they look and feel really small. since i was 16 ive never liked the size of my breasts but i kept telling myself they would grow but unfortunately after the birth of my son in aril 2007 they seemed to get slightly smaller. I have no self confidence when it comes to my body and i have been trying to think of ways to put me off wanting surgery but nothing seems to work and its all i can think about. i was hoping u could tell me if a D cup would be too big for a size 10-12 frame, how much this would cost, and where the closest place is from st leonards i could get this done. thankx a lot. jess

hi i have been on alot of sites and rang up for information from alot of people for a breast enlargement, but everyone says that you HAVE to quit smoking for 1 week before the procedure and 1 week after it aswel. Is this a rule that is set in stone or is it just advice, as i have tried many times to quit and can not do it no matter what i use and i feel this is losing me the chance to have the surgery. I noticed on your website it says we advise people to quit and i was just wondering if I would have to or not?
thanks
Hi Kez,
It is desirable to stop smoking but in the opinion of our medical director for an enlargement there is no direct or significant risk.

Pam on 04.11.2007 at 20:00 (Reply)
I am considering breast augmentation, the main reason is because my left breast is about 2 cup sizes smaller than the right.
I have seen an NHS doctor, who has advised that he could do it, however, I am 2 stone over weight, and he has advised me I need to loose this first. Is this a problem at Mya?
The main reason I dont want to wait is that I am getting married in May 2008. As a result of this I wanted to know what date would be the latest I should have this done in order to be “fit and heathly” for my big day?
The final question would be around the cost, as not only would I want an implant in the right brest, I would also want an uplift in the right, and maybe a little implant in the right (left brest is currently a C- right is DD/E)
Regards.
Hi Pam,
It depends if you are planning on the losing the weight after the proceedure.
If not and you are happy with your weigh and it is stable we may be able to help.
You would need to have it done at least 3-4 months before the wedding.
Prices start from £5,900 for an enlargement with an uplift.
There are offers on all the time.

After the initial consultation (which I have booked) how many more appointments will I need before the actual surgery? I have a limited amount of holiday from work left and want to make sure I have enough to cover the whole thing. Also, can you tell me do I need to discuss this surgery with my GP? (My GP has never been very helpful about anything before so I don’t really want to have to waste my time).
Hi Kay,
Afer the initial consultation you would need a surgical consultation and a pre op check. We can try and do it all in the same day. We do inform the GP and need a full medical history.
Hope your consultation goes well!

Im 18 and have heard different roumours about having implants and stuff..
is it true that if you have implants you cannot fly on a plane and what would happen if they burst?
is it true that if you have your nipples moved they can move or the tissue can die and you have to have them tatooed on?
thanx samii xx
Hi Samii,
The first one is not true. You can fly after you recover from the procedure and once the risk of DVT has gone. The second is possible but rare. The nipple only needs to be removed after breast reduction or an uplift.

Could you tell me, after the initial consultation, if I decide to go ahead with a breast enlargement, would I need further consultations beforehand or could I book the procedure there and then? I am fairly certain I want to do it, but have a few questions to be answered before I commit. I would like to get it done early next year before a wedding but only have just over 2 weeks of holiday left until April, so want to know how much time in total I am likely to need off work (including consultations)?
Also, would my GP need to be involved at all?
Hi Kay,
You can have the initial consultation, surgical consultation and pre op check all in the same day. You then need time to reflect but if you decide to go ahead then you have should have sufficient holiday left.

Will I need to lose weight before I can have surgery? I also have no clevage, and no self confidence which is the other reason why I am wanting to do this.
How much is the procedure likely to cost? Will I be able to get funding?
Please please please help me get my dream breasts.

Hi I have unwanted moles on my breasts but am planning to get breast enlargement at some point in the future.
Just wondered if i had the moles removed, would this be unsuitable as the scars would stretch?
Also would moles be stretched if they are on the breast area after enlargement?
Thank you!

The moles are unlikely to stretch however the scars may. So, it is advised to have the procedure done before the mole removal.

I know its not the final answer and afterwards I am prepared to continue putting the effort in with regular exercise as I need to be fit for my job.

I am looking to have a breast enlargement. I went for a consultation with another company about a year ago. I Have always been very self conscious about my breasts as they are atleast a AA and I am a size 14/16. I am 5″6 and I weigh 14 and a half stone and I am happy with my body other than my chest as I believe I have tubular breasts. I spoke with a surgeon last year and he told me i do not have the sub mammay part of my breast… basically there is less than a centimeter from the bottom of my nipple and the crease of my breast. to top it all off i have inverted nipples! i just wondered whether i would be able to have the surgery with MYA at my current weight and would the surgeon be able to do anything to increase the gap from my nipple and my crease if the surgery was performed?
Hi Hannah,
Yes your current weight is fine. You would need to come in for a consultation but normally tubular breasts do not have inverted nipples. You would need to book a free consultation.

Hi Maria,
No this is not true. It depends on the individual. Academically speaking it is advised to change them every 10 – 15 years but there are people that gone longer. It differs with each person. It does cost a bit more to have the re-augmentation.

Hello. I have always wanted a breast enlargment. I am almost 30 and a size 8. I have a very small frame and am very thin, natrually. With this I have almost no breasts. I can buy my bras (and tops)( I think I would be a size 32a) from the childrens department in the shops. I would like to know if a breast enlargment is possible and if it can look almost natural? I have been desperate for breasts since I was a young teen, but at the same I dont want two hard rocks stuck to my chest. What do you think?

hi, 5 months ago i had my breasts enlarged (by another company) and when they shpwed me the implants under my top they looked the size that i wanted but after surgery they didnt seem as big as i wanted. . i asked for bigger but theu said they wouldnt because i would look out of proportion. i am a slim person but iam 5ft 4″ and have a shaply bottom so i think i could carry off a bigger cup size. at the moment i am a 32c. would it be possible to have another surgery after only 5 month and would you take me bigger? x

Is it on how large the implant is i.e is it more expensive the larger you go? Also I am looking to have surgery in around June, when would you suggest for me to have a consultation? Thanks, Kat
Hi Kat,
Yes 2 sizes should be fine. You would need to discuss the prices in the free consultation. If you would like to have cosmetic surgery in June we would avise that you come in for you initial consultation about a month or two before.
This gives you plenty of time to think about it and get all your health checks out of the way.

HI,
I am currently waiting to have a breast reduction on the NHS, but before they do it i have to loss weight, i have been trying to loss the weight but having a hard time trying. Do your Doctors require weight loss before a reduction. I have a 34FF going into a G cup. the pain in my right shoulder is sometimes unbearable and the indentation on my shoulders never goes away.Could you als let me know how much this operation would cost me as i would like to be a C cup. I would be very gratful for any information.
Hi Susan,
It depends on your weight at the time of operation. The protocol may slightly vary from one organization to another but we strongly advise loosing weight before the operation. Not only for the purpose of safe anesthesia but also to maintain a good result after the procedure.

We would advise that you wait however it depends on how many children you want, when you want to have them and how keen you are to have the proceedure.

Hi I just wondered if MYA would still do a breat enlargement for me when ive had two blood clots on my lung 4 years ago? I havent had any since then and the only time I have to inject myself in the tummy is when im travelling on a flight for over 4 hours and also when I was pregnant with my little boy whos now age 18 months..could I get advive as I went to a consultation at Transform clinic in gatley lastnight and was told they would not do it as ive had blood clots, they advised me to go to the Alexandra hospital or to Bupa as they have fully equpppied hospitals incase of any problems with surgery with me having the embolisms on my lung…Im gutted as I rang both those hospitals and the prices they charge are ridiculously expensive! thanks..lisa
Hi Lisa,
We would not be able to perform the procedure at MYA. We advise that you go to speak to your GP to discuss a referral for a plastic unit in one of the NHS hospitals.
Sorry we could not be more help.
