What is Breast Augmentation?
Treatment Overview
In Cheshire and Manchester breast augmentation is more commonly known as breast enlargement or a boob job. This procedure is one of the most commonly performed plastic surgery operations worldwide. The most common technique for breast augmentation involves the use of breast implants.
Alternative methods of breast enlargement also include fat transfer or lipomodelling. The aim of this surgery is to provide volume to the breast. Some patients may also require an uplift of the breast, and this may require a mastopexy or breast lift procedure.

Your Breast Augmentation Procedure
Breast Augmentation At-a-Glance
A breast augmentation is performed under a general anaesthetic and is usually performed as a day case, although occasionally an overnight stay may be required. The operation involves placing an incision in the natural crease underneath the breast. A pocket is then created for the breast implant. This pocket may be underneath the breast tissue (subglandular) or beneath the pectoralis muscle (submuscular). The dual plane technique involves placing the implant partly under the muscle and under the glandular tissues. The decision on where the breast implant is placed is dependent on your breast characteristics and will be discussed during your consultation with Mr Nassab. Once the breast implant is placed in the pocket, the incision is then closed with sutures and dressings applied.
Breast implants can be classified according to their shape, composition, or coating. The shape of the breast implant may be either round or anatomical, commonly referred to as teardrop. The round implants tend to produce a fuller cleavage and upper pole of the breast. The anatomical implants produce a more subtle result.
In the UK, most breast implants are filled with silicone whilst in the US, some surgeons use saline-filled implants. The silicone gel is termed as cohesive, meaning that it retains its shape even when cut. Breast implants can also have differing coatings that are either smooth, textured, or polyurethane.
Breast Augmentation Results
Breast augmentation yields beautifully enhanced breasts, creating a fuller and more proportionate silhouette. As post-surgery swelling subsides, anticipate natural-looking results that harmoniously complement your features. Experience renewed confidence and a sense of empowerment through personalized enhancements that stand the test of time.
Breast Augmentation Recovery and Aftercare
Breast augmentation, like any surgery, may result in potential complications, although these are uncommon. The main complications following breast enlargement include:
Bleeding and haematoma formation
A haematoma is a collection of blood that may form in the pocket of the implant, and this may require surgery to wash the pocket and stop any bleeding.
Infection
The risk of infection is rare. You will normally be given some antibiotics during the procedure to reduce this risk further. Most infections occur soon after surgery, although they may happen many years after the initial surgery as well. If the infection is severe, then the breast implant may need to be removed. The cavity is then washed and closed. Usually, we would then need to wait a number of weeks to months before replacing the implant.
ScarringThere will be a scar from the incision to insert the breast implant. The scar is most often placed in the crease beneath the breast. Scars can sometimes become raised or lumpy, which is referred to as a hypertrophic or keloid scar. This may need further treatment in the form of silicone dressings or creams and possibly a course of steroid injections.
Change in Nipple SensationMost women will notice an alteration in the sensation in the nipple following breast augmentation. Most often, there is reduced sensation, although some women may notice increased sensitivity after breast enlargement. This is often temporary, but some permanent changes may occur.
Asymmetry
All breasts have some degree of asymmetry, and even after breast augmentation, there may be some minor degree of asymmetry. There are occasions when minor asymmetries preoperatively may be exaggerated postoperatively. There may also be differences in terms of nipple position after breast enlargement.
Capsular Contracture
The main long-term complication with breast implants is the formation of a capsular contracture. When an implant is placed into the breast, the body forms a thin capsule around it. In some women, this capsule can become thickened and cause discomfort and distortion of the breast. This may require further surgery, and the risk of it recurring is high if you have already had a capsular contracture.
Changes with TimeWhen you age or have children, there will be changes in your breast shape and volume. Generally, the skin loses its elasticity and thins, resulting in drooping of the breast, known as breast ptosis. This may require an uplift procedure or mastopexy to correct. Thinning of the skin and tissues covering the breast implant may result in the implant becoming palpable, showing signs of rippling or wrinkling.
I use the highest quality Mentor breast implants that are owned by Johnson and Johnson. These are breast implants with a high safety track record that have been on the market for over two decades. We also use Motiva implants which also have FDA approval.
Silicone is made from silica, which is the most common substance on earth. Heating silica with carbon dioxide forms silicon. This is then processed silicone which is a gel-like substance used in making breast implants. Silicone is commonly used in many household products, from creams to baby bottle teats.
Studies have shown that higher levels of silicone are found in cows’ milk or infant formula milk compared to breast milk produced by mothers with breast implants. Therefore, it is unlikely that your baby will have any harmful exposure to silicone from your breast milk.
ALCL stands for Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma. This is a very rare form of cancer that can develop around the implants. The relationship with breast implants is not fully understood yet, although various factors have been reported. It is thought to occur in about 1 in 300,000 breast implants. Patients who have had implants for several years that develop sudden onset swelling should be investigated to exclude this.
I have never used PIP implants in any of my patients. I see many patients who have had PIP implants previously that I have removed or replaced. I believe in only using the highest quality implants with long-term safety data.
The life expectancy of breast implants will vary greatly between patients. Most patients who do not have any complications, such as capsular contracture, will expect to go 10 to 20 years without the need to change their implants.
We would recommend that you avoid smoking for four to six weeks before and after your breast augmentation surgery. This includes the use of nicotine replacement such as gums, patches, and e-cigarettes. Smoking reduces the blood supply to the skin and causes problems with wound healing. Smoking also increases the risks associated with the anaesthetic for your operation.
The weight of the implant will depend on the size of it. It is generally considered that the size is roughly equivalent to the weight in grams. Therefore, a 250cc implant will weigh about 250 grams.
The cost of the procedure will vary slightly according to where it is performed and the types of implants used. The prices start from £7500 for breast augmentation using round implants performed in Manchester and Cheshire. Finance options are available. To find out more information about the cost of breast enlargement surgery, book a consultation with Mr Nassab.
We usually recommend about one to two weeks off from work following a breast procedure. You can read more on our related page entitled, How long after a breast augmentation can I go back to work
