Breast Augmentation explained

What the procedure involves

Surgery is usually performed under general anaesthetic and takes around 60–90 minutes. Implants are placed either under the breast tissue or beneath the chest muscle through a discreet incision in the breast crease.

Recovery

Most patients return to desk-based work within one to two weeks and resume full exercise at around six weeks. Some swelling and tightness is normal in the first month as the implants settle.

Is it right for you?

Women who feel their breasts are too small, have lost volume after pregnancy or weight loss, or want to correct a difference in size between the two sides.

Results & what to expect

The final result of your breast augmentation settles over the weeks and months after surgery as swelling resolves. A consultant-led approach is designed to give natural, proportionate results tailored to your anatomy and goals.

Breast Augmentation cost in the UK

As a guide, breast augmentation starts from £6,500. The exact cost depends on the complexity of your procedure, the technique used and your individual anatomy. A fixed quotation is provided after your consultation and typically includes the surgeon's fee, hospital fee, anaesthetist and follow-up aftercare.

Risks and safety

All surgery carries risks, including bleeding, infection, delayed healing, scarring and reactions to anaesthetic, alongside risks specific to breast augmentation that your surgeon will explain in full. Choosing a surgeon on the GMC Specialist Register operating in a CQC-registered facility, and following your aftercare plan closely, helps keep these risks as low as possible.
