What is Breast Enlargement?

Breast enlargement, commonly called breast augmentation, is a sought-after cosmetic procedure that enhances the size, shape, and symmetry of the breasts. This is done using implants or fat transfer to create a fuller and more balanced appearance.

Many women opt for breast enlargement to boost confidence, restore lost volume after weight changes or pregnancy, or correct natural asymmetry. Implants are available in different sizes, shapes, and materials, allowing for a fully personalised result that complements your body shape.

This procedure is best suited to those in good health with realistic expectations about the results. During your free consultation, an experienced surgeon will go through your options and help you choose the best approach to achieve your desired look.

What Happens During Surgery?

Breast enlargement is performed under general anaesthetic. Your surgeon will place implants either beneath the breast tissue or under the chest muscle. The incision is usually made in one of three areas: along the lower edge of the areola, under the breast fold, or in the armpit, depending on what suits you best.

Your surgeon will position the implants carefully to create a natural and symmetrical look. You can choose between round or teardrop-shaped implants and silicone or saline materials to suit your preferences.

The surgery enhances body proportions, helping you feel more comfortable and confident. While the results are visible straight away, the final outcome will become more apparent as swelling reduces over the following weeks.

Before After

Is Breast Enlargement Right For Me?

This procedure is a very personal decision. It could be a good option if you feel self-conscious about your breast size or shape, have lost volume due to pregnancy, ageing, or weight changes, or simply want to create a more proportionate figure.

Your surgeon will assess your goals and medical history during your consultation to determine the best plan for you.

What Are The Benefits?

Enhanced Confidence – Many patients feel more comfortable and self-assured in their appearance after surgery.
Restored Volume – Helps restore breast fullness lost due to weight changes, pregnancy, or ageing.
Improved Symmetry – Corrects natural breast asymmetry for a more balanced look.
Customisable Results – Choose from different implant sizes, shapes, and materials to achieve a tailored outcome.
Long-Lasting Effects – With proper care, results can last for many years, providing lasting satisfaction.

What Are The Risks?

Surgical Complications – As with any surgery, there is a risk of infection, bleeding, or adverse reactions to anaesthesia.
Capsular Contracture – Scar tissue may form around the implant, causing discomfort or a change in breast shape.
Changes in Sensation – Some patients experience temporary or permanent changes in nipple or breast sensitivity.
Implant Rupture or Leakage – Though rare, implants can rupture over time, requiring replacement.
Need for Future Surgery – Implants may need to be replaced or adjusted due to natural ageing, weight fluctuations, or personal preference.

Patient Reviews

To my surprise I found my surgery emotionally challenging. I can’t express how much Tracy in the aftercare team saved me! She was like having my mother on the end of the phone. Validating, normalising and offering reassurance with every new anxiety I kept presenting. Such an essential part of the service that I had not expected to need but valued so highly. Thank you Tracy!

Aneta Pohnke

I had a face and neck lift with Transform at The Pines Hospital Manchester. With Dr Bhatty my results are incredible I now recognise my self in the mirror because before it was like a stranger staring back at me. I totally underestimated the Recovery however, and I became anxious about bruises. The Pines took me back in after a small bleed. The follow up calls were great and eased my anxiety. My mistake was driving after the op. Which was my choice. I'm recovering well now I'm at home in Edinburgh my stitches were taken out at Glasgow Day Surgery Centre. Dr Bhatty is highly skilled I would recommend him he was professional throughout and very nice. Thank you Transform.

Sarah Macgregor

I have had a recent discussion with Lorraine Russel re Hernia surgery. She was extremely helpful with my enquiries with regard to cost and procedures etc I have since looked at other healthcare providers near to where I live and will be contacting Transform again to arrange an appointment. She noted comments I made about the initial contact from Transform with a view to correcting some anomalies which could have an adverse effect on prospective customers.

Abbey Apicella

I wanted to look into having a breast enlargement because I had never felt entirely comfortable in myself. I was quite shy and didn’t ever feel self-confident out of my clothes or in swimwear.

Amber Hazel-Heath

The surgery has genuinely changed my confidence completely. I’m not afraid to get undressed in front of my boyfriend, my mum, or my friends.

FAQ's

Considering surgery comes with plenty of questions. Our FAQ section covers everything you need to know, from procedure details to recovery and long-term results.

What is breast enlargement surgery?

Breast enlargement surgery, also known as breast augmentation, is a cosmetic procedure that enhances the size, shape, or symmetry of the breasts using implants or fat transfer. It is often chosen to restore lost volume, improve body proportions, or boost self-confidence.

How long does the procedure take?

The surgery typically takes between 1 to 2 hours, depending on the surgical technique and type of implants used.

What types of implants are available?

There are two main types of implants: silicone and saline. Silicone implants are filled with a gel that mimics natural breast tissue, while saline implants contain a sterile saltwater solution. Implants also come in different shapes, such as round or teardrop (anatomical), to suit individual preferences.

How long do the results last?

Breast implants are long-lasting, but they are not considered lifetime devices. Most implants last 10 to 20 years, though some may require replacement or revision due to natural ageing, lifestyle factors, or personal preference.

What are the risks?

As with any surgery, breast enlargement carries some risks, including infection, scarring, changes in nipple sensation, implant rupture, or capsular contracture (scar tissue forming around the implant). Choosing a skilled surgeon and following post-operative care instructions can help minimise these risks.
