Enlargement of the breasts using silicone implants is fast becoming the most common cosmetic surgery procedure in the UK.

What Size?

It is possible to increase the breast size by 1 to 3 cup sizes. Most women will have experienced the fact that if measured at different shops they are given a different “cup size”. The cup size also varies depending on the manufacturing of the bra. We therefore cannot guarantee a specific cup size following breast augmentation. However we use various techniques to achieve the size you desire.
The increase in size depends on existing size of your breasts and the breast base size (the diameter of the base of the breast where it is attached to the chest wall).

Am I suitable for Breast Enhancement?

Most women with small breasts, who are medically fit and have realistic expectations, would be suitable for the breast enlargement procedure. The final decision can only be made after consultation with our consultant cosmetic surgeon who specialises in this form of surgery.
If your breasts have excessive drooping (Ptosis), then you may be advised to consider an “uplift” procedure (Mastopexy) which can be done with or without adding a breast implant. There is no substitute for a consultation with our consultant before making a decision.

What shape will I have?
