Breast Enlargement Surgery

Breast Enlargement surgery requires an incision to be made in the breast so that a surgical grade implant can be inserted behind or in front of the chest muscle, underneath the natural tissue. When the implant is in position, the incision will be closed with stitches, and depending on the patient’s individual circumstances, these may dissolve or may need removing at your first pre-operative appointment.

On the day of the surgery, you’ll be greeted at the hospital by our staff and shown to your room. There will be a quick check-up to make sure you’re feeling well and healthy enough for the operation and then you’ll be taken to theatre. The operation will take around two hours.

After Breast Enlargement surgery, you will be able to go home on the same day. However, you will be required to wear a sports bra for several weeks to help your breasts settle. We will also arrange for you to come in for further appointments after one week, two weeks and six weeks. This way we can manage your progress and also give you the support so you don’t feel alone and anxious about any complications.

Please bear in mind that everyone recovers at their own rate, but avoid your normal activities for at least two weeks.

Our aftercare programme puts you at the centre and our staff are committed to helping you at every stage of your recovery. You’ll have access to a 24/7 support line, connecting you to our industry-leading nurses and making sure you are completely happy with your surgery.

Yes, ‘boob job’ is another name for Breast Augmentation, (also called ‘Breast Enlargement’ or ‘Breast Enlargement surgery’). It’s a popular cosmetic surgery procedure, making use of breast implants, to help women achieve their ideal size, shape and fullness of breasts.

At Pall Mall Cosmetics we recommend the use of Mentor, the market leaders in terms of breast implants in the UK with both FDA and CE approvals. There is also a range of other implants available.

Your surgeon will discuss the best implant options for your individual cosmetic requirements during a free, no obligation consultation. If you prefer an alternative brand, the surgeon can talk to you about the pros and cons of the implant and whether it is suitable.

Yes, as part of the Mentor Promise Protection Plan, you get free implant replacement for up to 10 years in the rare event of rupture or deflation. You will also receive financial assistance for capsular contracture (Baker Grade III/IV), double capsule and late seroma complications for up to 10 years.

We are pleased to be able to offer B-Lite implants. B-Lite implants are up to 30% lighter than other implants and are suitable for women who are active in the gyms or regularly partake in other sports. B-Lite implants also often require less recovery time and patients endure less pain. If you would like to know more about this option, your surgeon will gladly discuss this with you during the consultation.

Undergoing Breast Enlargement is an important decision and one that should not be rushed. Part of that decision is to ensure you choose the correct and most appropriate size of breast implant.

Each person is different – a certain size and profile in one person might look completely different in another. Many patients will know a friend or colleague who has had Breast Enlargement and like their results – again, the implant size/profile they had may not be suitable for you and the look you want to achieve.

During your consultation, your chosen breast or plastic surgeon will listen to what you want to achieve, recommend what is most suitable for you to achieve the look you are hoping for and, using specially designed “sizers”, will give you an idea of the end outcome.

All of our highly skilled and experienced surgeons go through a rigorous practising privileges process at Pall Mall Cosmetics, hold substantive NHS posts across the North West and hold full indemnity insurance.

Our specialist consultant plastic and breast surgeons are registered with BAPRAS (British Association of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons) and/or are BAAPS (British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons) accredited so you receive the gold standard of patient care and a commitment to excellence in aesthetic surgery.

It is a myth that all implants need to be replaced 10 years after the original procedure. Many women will not need an implant change 20 years after their original procedure, whereas some may need it in less than 10 years. Implants typically need to be removed or replaced if there is a rupture or deflation, capsular contracture takes place, or the appearance of your breasts has changed due to factors like weight loss or child-birth.

The NHS does not commonly carry out Breast Augmentation or Enlargement surgery unless there is an associated and significant distress or pain. For this reason, many women choose to have the procedure done at a private healthcare clinic such as Pall Mall Cosmetics. There is no waiting list, and you do not need any referral to have an operation performed.

We can ensure your safety at our CQC (Care Quality Commission) regulated hospital in Newton-le-Willows and city centre clinics in Manchester, Liverpool or Leeds. Our surgeons mostly come from the NHS, so you get the same quality of surgery, but in a safe, clean and professional private clinical environment.

Implants can be placed in three different locations – under the muscle (“submuscular”), over the muscle (“subglandular” or “retromammary”) or partially below the muscle.

Where the implant is placed depends on you and your desired outcome. Each option has its own advantages and each person will be more suited to a particular placement. The surgeon will discuss this in full with you during your consultation.
