Breast Enlargement Cambridge New

Benefits

You may consider a breast augmentation for the following reasons:

•  You have naturally smaller breasts
•  Your breasts have reduced in size after pregnancy or weight loss
•  You want breast implants to help create a better shape and fullness to your breasts
•  You want to correct uneven (asymmetrical) breasts by using implants

Some patients, for example after pregnancy, may choose to have breast implant surgery alongside a breast uplift. This is because of the significant changes that happen to the body during pregnancy.

What happens during breast enlargement surgery in Cambridge?

Mr Abood will carry out your breast implant surgery at The Nuffield health Hospital in Cambridge. From start to finish, your breast enlargement should take around an hour to complete.

To start with, Mr Abood will likely take photographs of your breasts and make markings on your breasts to guide him on the best place to insert your implants. It will also help indicate where incisions will need to be. This will help ensure that scarring is kept to a minimum and hidden under your normal breast crease.

During your procedure

Generally, a boob job is a day case surgery. If this is different, it will be discussed with you at your consultation. Your surgery will take place under a general anaesthetic, so you will be asleep during the operation.

The breast implants will be placed in one of three pockets in the breast:

1.  Below the chest muscle – this is good for anyone with very little natural breast tissue
2.  Over the chest muscle
3.  Partial – using the ‘over-under’ technique

At your consultation, we will talk through which placement of the breast implants is best for you to achieve natural looking results. This includes the pros and cons of each so that you can make the right decision.

There are two types of implants – saline breast implants and silicone breast implants. Mr Abood uses silicone gel breast implants to help create a natural look.

Silicone implants also feel more like natural breast tissue and are more durable. They also come in a range of shapes, which means that we can find the right one to suit each individual patient.

Saline implants, on the other hand, tend to feel less natural. They also come with the potential of rippling, where the sides of the breast implant are visible through the skin.

At your consultation, we will discuss in more detail about the breast implants we use. We will also walk you through the different sizes and shapes, so you can see how they will look and feel.

At your first consultation in Cambridge with Dr Abood, you’ll be able to discuss your reasons for considering breast enlargement and the outcome you’re hoping to achieve. With your health and medical history in mind, Dr Abood will recommend the most appropriate plan.

We want you to feel fully informed about what the procedure involves, including recovery and any potential risks. For added support, you’re welcome to bring a friend or family member to the consultation.

To plan the operation precisely, Dr Abood may take a set of clinical photographs and measurements of your breasts; all information is handled with the strictest confidentiality.

If you feel a second appointment would be helpful, Dr Abood will happily arrange one. Please take whatever time you need before making the important decision to proceed with surgery.

Mr Abood and his team of nurses always put your care and wellbeing first. Before you leave the hospital, we will walk you through what to expect during the recovery period. We will also give you some pain medication to help manage any tenderness or discomfort you may experience.

We don’t advise wearing a normal bra or sports bra after your surgery. This is why we give you a post-surgical bra that will help support your breasts and your recovery.

You will need to attend a follow up appointment a week after your surgery to take a look at your progress. Further appointments will include:

• At six weeks post-surgery
• Three months after your surgery
• After one year

Outside of these follow-up appointments, you can contact Mr Abood and his team at any point should you need to ask any questions.

It will take time for the swelling to subside and for your breast augmentation results to show. You will likely see your final results six months after your operation when the implants have settled into place.
