Your Consultation in Cambridge

Dr Ahid Abood - Your Plastic Surgery Consultation

 

Your consultation with Dr Abood is designed to help you make fully informed decisions without pressure. You will be offered at least two appointments before scheduling surgery, giving you time to reflect on everything discussed.

During these sessions, you can:

  • Talk openly about your goals and expectations
  • View and handle different implant types, sizes and shapes
  • Learn about different placement options (above, below or partially behind the muscle)
  • Ask questions about recovery, scars and aftercare

A companion is welcome to attend, should you prefer support during your appointment.

The Procedure

Ahid Abood Plastic Surgery - Procedure

 

 

Breast augmentation surgery typically takes around one hour and is carried out under general anaesthetic in a fully equipped and CQC regulated hospital.

Before surgery, Dr Abood will take photographs and make surgical markings to guide the precise placement of the implants. Incisions are positioned carefully to keep scars as small and discreet as possible, usually hidden in the breast fold.

Implants may be positioned above the pectoral muscle, beneath it, or using a dual-plane technique. The choice depends on the desired outcome, skin quality and existing breast tissue.

Aftercare and Results for Breast Augmentation

Ahid Abood Plastic Surgery - Aftercare

After the procedure, Dr Abood will give you a run-through of how the surgery went and ensure that you are comfortable before sending you home. You will be given appropriate pain relief medication and a post-surgical bra to aid in your recovery.

Aftercare is a vital part of the breast augmentation process. It is important to follow the aftercare instructions given to you in order to get the best possible results.

Recovery from breast augmentation takes between 6 to 8 weeks. If at any point you feel that you need more support, Dr Abood and his team will be available to speak to you, whether by phone or face-to-face.

You will be booked in for a follow-up appointment one week after surgery, with others scheduled for 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months and 1 year post-procedure. Your recovery will be monitored closely so that we can be confident you are healing properly.

The full results of breast augmentation will be seen after approximately 6 months, when the swelling has gone down and the implants have settled into place.

Risks

Every surgical procedure will always carry a degree of risk

All surgery carries risk. These include swelling, bruising, infection, and possible changes to sensation. Implant-related concerns and long-term care will be discussed clearly during consultation.

Dr Abood will provide balanced information and reading material so that you feel confident about the decision you make.

FAQs – Breast Augmentation Cambridge

What is breast augmentation surgery?

Breast augmentation is a cosmetic surgical procedure that uses silicone implants to enhance the size, shape and fullness of the breasts. At our Cambridge clinic, the aim is to achieve natural-looking results that suit your body proportions and personal goals.

How do I know if I am I a good candidate for breast augmentation in Cambridge?

You may be suitable if you are in good general health and feel your breasts are smaller than you would like, have lost volume after pregnancy or weight loss, or are noticeably asymmetrical. Your suitability will be confirmed during a consultation with Dr Ahid Abood in Cambridge.

How long does recovery take after breast augmentation?

Most patients return to light daily activities within 1–2 weeks, with full recovery usually taking around 6–8 weeks. You will be advised to wear a supportive post-surgical bra and avoid strenuous exercise until cleared by Dr Abood and his team.

Will I have scars after breast augmentation?

Yes, all breast augmentation surgery involves small incisions, which leave scars. These are carefully positioned, ususaly in the breast fold, to be as discreet as possible. Over time, scars generally soften and fade, and you will be given guidance on scar care.

Can breast augmentation be combined with a breast uplift?

Yes. If your breasts sit lower on the chest as well as lacking volume, breast augmentation can be combined with a breast uplift (mastopexy). This may be discussed during your consultation in Cambridge if lifting and reshaping the breasts would better match your goals.

How long do breast implants last, and will I need further surgery?

Breast implants are long-lasting. Although historically it was felt that they needed to be changed every ten years, with modern day implants, this is no longer the case. Many women enjoy their results for many years, but further surgery may be needed in the future due to natural changes or personal preference. Regular check-ins with your surgeon in Cambridge can help monitor your results over time.
