Augmentation
Breast augmentation uses silicone implants to enhance your breast shape and size.
It’s ideal if you want to increase the size of your breasts or restore volume lost through ageing, weight changes or pregnancy.
It's a popular procedure, but it requires careful planning and thought. For example, you need to consider:
Implant size and shape (round or teardrop)
Implant texture (smooth or textured)
Placement (above or below your pectoral muscle)
I’ll always take time to guide you through all the options and help you make choices that align with your goals and lifestyle — both in the short- and long-term. It’s essential that you understand how long the implants will last and that future surgery will likely be needed to exchange them.
