Q: Do I need a mammogram before my Breast Enhancement, Breast Implant Surgery?

A: Working in close colaboration with our Breast Cancer Specialists, the guidelines are that any woman over the age of 40 should have a mammogram before any breast surgery including Breast Implant Surgery. Under the age of 40, no screening is necessary if there is not a family history of Breast Cancer or other cancers. A screening mammogram can be arranged for you at the time of your consultation, if required.

Q: Can I Breast feed after Breast Enhancement, Breast Implant Surgery?

A: Breast Augmentation with implants placed either behind the gland (sub-glandular) or under the muscle (sub-muscular) does not affect your ability to breast feed. The presence of implants do not cause any risk to your baby. Please be aware that many women cannot breast feed naturally before any breast surgery.

Q: Does Breast Implant Surgery require a general anaesthetic or hospitalisation?

A: Breast Implant Surgery is performed under general anaesthetic, commonly as a day-case or overnight procedure.

Q: How long is the Breast Enhancement, Breast Implant Surgery?

A: Breast Augmentation with Implants normally takes approximately 1 hour to perform.

Q: What are my options for the type of implants?

A: Various types of Breast Implants are available and the optimum implant for you will depend on your goals and existing size and shape. Breast implant types are Silicone or Saline, round or teardrop shaped and can be low, medium, high or extra high profile in order to achieve the best aesthetic natural result.

Q: What about the scars following Breast Augmentation, Breast Implant Surgery?

A: Unfortunately, it is necessary to have a scar as a result of Breast Enhancement, Breast Implant Surgery, but every effort is made to minimize the scars and ensure that these are as inconspicuous as possible. The goal is to achieve a scar which is as short as possible for the safe placement of your implants, and which, once fully healed is barely visible. Scars can be placed in the crease under each breast, in the armpit, or within the areola. The optimum scar for you will depend on your size, breast shape and desired cup size /shape.

Q: Where will the implants be placed in Breast Augmentation, Breast Implant Sugery?

A: Breast implants can be placed either behind the breast tissue or under the pectoral muscle. Which position is suitable for you will depend on the amount of tissue available to cover the implants. The goal is to achieve the optimum natural appearance of your breasts. If the soft tissue is thin over the breast region, then it will be recommended that the breast implants are positioned under the pectoral muscle. In either position, what you will see and feel is your own breast tissue.

Q: Will drains be used at the time of Breast Enhancement, Breast Implant Surgery?

A: The use of drains (thin tubes from each breast) is a hotly debated topic in Breast Augmentation. At LBPS, we believe that any blood or fluid around the implant leads to inflammation and scarring, which can result in a capsule around the Implant. This capsule can cause firmness or hardening of the breast and a poor result. Therefore, drains will be placed at the time of your Breast Augmentation surgery. These will be removed before you leave Hospital.

Q: Can Breast Implant Surgery be performed with an Uplift, Mastopexy?

A: Yes, some women with significant drooping of the breasts together with loss of fullness may require Breast Augmentation combined with an Uplift, Mastopexy. The extent of uplift required will depend on the degree of drooping and the amount or volume necessary to shape the breast.

1. Any complication which arises as a result of failure to adhere to the post-operative instructions provided, including cessation of smoking before and after your surgery.

3. Change of Breast Implants for a larger or smaller size.
4. Revision surgery following significant weight loss or gain following your Breast Implant surgery.
