Breast Augmentation Glasgow

Breast augmentation surgery aims to increase your breast size and the most common procedure involves silicone implants. Silicone is a popular choice for breast augmentation using implants because it is safe, durable, and long-lasting. Silicone also feels more similar to natural breast tissue.

However, implants are not your only option. Some patients do not like the idea of having implants and would prefer their breasts to be augmented using their own tissue. For these patients we can offer fat transfer, which moves fat from an area of excess on your body to your breasts for a softer and more natural look.

Making the choice of the best technique to achieve your goals is one of the key focuses of your initial consultation with Dr Kavita. She will work with you to understand what your goals are and advise you on the best way of achieving that. There is no one size fits all approach in our practice!

Breast augmentation surgery has one of the highest satisfaction rates of all cosmetic procedures, with most patients being really very happy with the outcome.

You can find out more about breast augmentation with implants or breast augmentation with fat transfer on these dedicated pages on our website.

We understand that the prospect of surgery can be daunting. Our experienced team is here to guide you through everything, from your first phone call or email with us all the way through consultations, surgery to your final follow up care appointment. We are here to help.

Here is a general outline of what you can expect when you opt for breast surgery at our cosmetic clinic in Scotland:

THE FIRST CONSULTATION

Once you’ve decided that you want to enlarge your breasts the first person you will speak to when you contact the clinic will be your personal Patient Relationship Manager (PRM). Your PRM will have lots of experience and training in answering some of your first questions and will arrange an appointment for you to come in for a consultation with Dr Kavita at a time that suits you. During this consultation Dr Kavita will take time to listen carefully to your concerns and what you want to achieve and perform a detailed examination of your chest and body.

After this examination, she will then make her recommendations on the best procedure – or combination of procedures – to achieve your goals. It may be breast implants or breast augmentation by fat transfer on their own. Or she may recommend a breast uplift or a combination of the two procedures to best achieve your desired outcome.

After your initial consultation you will be sent a letter outlining all of the things that were discussed and recommended and we will make sure that you also know all of the details of the procedure, including what could potentially go wrong so you can make a fully informed decision. After you have received your written report, if you want you can come back in for a second consultation to go over things again with Dr Kavita before progressing to booking surgery.

BEFORE THE OPERATION

Before the operation you will have a telephone call with our practice nurse who will ask you some questions about your health and background. She will then present this information to our consultant anaesthetist who will review it and decide if you need to undergo any additional tests or pre-cautions. If you have a complex medical background, the anaesthetist may arrange a separate appointment for you to come and meet him so we can be fully prepared to make your procedure as safe as possible.

We ask all of our patients to avoid nicotine containing products (including patches and gums) and alcohol for two weeks before surgery. You will also need someone to take you home after your procedures, so it is best to plan this in advance.

THE OPERATION

Breast augmentations procedures are performed under local anaesthetic with deep sleep sedation, which means you are asleep throughout. Our consultant anaesthetist will insert a small drip in the back of your hand and give you medicine to make you go off to sleep. sleep throughout the procedure. The anaesthetist will then monitor you closely on specialist monitors throughout the procedure, making any adjustments to the medications required to make sure you do not feel any discomfort and sleep throughout.

The surgery typically takes around 2 hours, depending on what you are having done – each case is very much tailored to the patient. Since you do not have a full general anaesthetic, recovery is much quicker with most patients being ready to go home just an hour after surgery ends without any nausea or vomiting.

Scarring

Breast augmentation procedures can involve different types of scarring, depending on which of the surgical options are chosen.

Most people looking for large lifts or much larger breasts do best with breast surgery involving a scar around the areola, a vertical scar from the areola down to the crease below the breast, and a further scar within the crease. Most of the scarring is therefore hidden fairly well and settles with time.

Some people who want one or both breasts lifted just a little do very well with only a scar around the areola or with an additional short vertical scar below. The breast implants are still placed through a separate small scar within the breast crease.
