Breast augmentation
surgery is the most common operation requested by clients
of the United Kingdom.
Mills & Mills Medical Group offers a professional and
comprehensive service for clients undergoing a breast
enlargement procedure. You may have read about the procedure
elsewhere under other terms, such as breast
augmentation.
Before
the Procedure
It is essential that you have a private, professional consultation
with a Mills & Mills
Surgeon before you proceed with your breast enlargement.
At Mills & Mills
Medical Group we believe that all advice should be free.
That’s
why we offer a free
private consultation with our surgeons without any
obligation.
We also offer a meeting with one of our friendly patient
co-ordinators who are on hand to give you information on
other aspects of your procedure, such as for example, the
cost of the procedure, availability in our hospital, as well
as different ways of paying for your procedure such as through
a cosmetic surgery loan. Our co-ordinators are not there
to give clinical advice, only our surgeon can do that, but
they are there as a continual support throughout your care
with Mills & Mills.
Before you attend for your consultation try and write down
all the questions that you would like to ask our surgeon
regarding breast augmentations. You may forget when you are
there. It’s also a good idea to bring someone along
with you for support, of course, if you want to keep the
procedure totally confidential, that’s fine too.
Consultations for breast augmentations are easy to arrange
and are held throughout the United
Kingdom and
in Marbella.
The Consultation
Our surgeons will want to establish exactly what
you are looking for in terms of the procedure. For example,
what size would you like to be when the procedure is done?
Most clients have a fairly clear idea of what they are looking
for. In discussion with your surgeon you can understand the
factors influence size. Following examination, our surgeon
will be able to give you some clear indication as to the
result. A medical history will be taken to help establish
your suitability for the procedure. You will have the opportunity
to ask as many questions as you like. Our surgeon will cover
all aspects of the breast enlargement procedure including,
the benefits and risks as well as what to expect afterwards
in terms of the recovery period.
Your patient co-ordinator will then complete any other details
such as confirming the cost and advising you of available
dates for your procedure.
Pre–operative screening
We need to ensure that you are well enough to undertake breast
enlargements. Together with your medical history, it may
be necessary to have some tests before the procedure. These
could be blood tests, perhaps an E.C.G or in some cases a
mammogram. It is important that you are properly prepared.
Your patient co-ordinator will make all these arrangements
for you.
The Procedure
Breast augmentation is performed under general
anaesthetic, which means you are asleep throughout the procedure.
It takes between one and one and a half hours to complete.
Breast implants can be inserted around the underside of the
nipple (periareolar) through the armpit (axillary) or through
the crease-line under the breast itself (often referred to
as 'under
the arm breast augmentation surgery'). Your surgeon
will have discussed this with you at length in the consultation.
Your personal preference is naturally given careful consideration.
When placing the implant the surgeon needs to consider the
best position to give you the optimum result. They can be
placed in front of the pectoral muscle where there is excessive
skin that needs to be filled, this usually the case if
you have breast fed for example. Insertion behind the muscle
may be preferred if there is no excessive skin to fill.
The aim will be to give you a natural looking result that
compliments your overall shape.
Your Breast Implants
We offer a comprehensive choice when it comes to
breast implants. At Mills & Mills, we are not limited
to one manufacturer, unlike many of our competitors. This
means that we can select exactly the right type, profile
and size of implants, just for you.
Our most common implant is the standard, round, cohesive
gel, silicone implant. This implant is available in a variety
of sizes with low, medium or high profile, depending on
the look that you want.
Cohesive gel implants are often labeled 'jelly
baby implants' - this is because they have
a thick gel consistency, not a liquid akin to water. The
shell of cohesive gel implants are tough, yet give a completely
natural look and feel. There are far less problems with
rippling with these implants, unlike the implants of years
ago.
We are also able to offer a range of anatomical
implants from the world's leading manufacturers. We are especially
good value in terms of these implants, where our prices
are considerably lower than the UK.
Anatomical implants can give a very natural shape
to the breast. These implants have more volume at the bottom
making them project in a conical fashion. More and more
women are seeking anatomical implants and we have noticed
a rise in demand for them over the past two years.
Lastly,
we now offer Polyurethane coated implants. These are filled
with silicone gel but it is said that there is a significantly
lower risk of capsular contracture (breast hardening) with
these implants. They will be of particular interest to women
who have experienced capsular contracture and want to have
a re-augmentation with a dramatically lower risk of the same
thing happening again. The shell has a polyurethane coating
and is available in standard or teardrop shaped implants.
Again, we have a large range of sizes to match exactly what
you are looking for. These are more expensive than standard
implants but we are getting more and more enquiries for these.
After the procedure
You will be required to stay in hospital overnight
and you will be discharged the following day. You will be
taken to your hotel to begin your recovery, or home if
you live close by. You may be asked to wear a good support
bra after your breast augmentation surgery and it’s
useful to bring one with you just in case. Under-wired
bras are not a good idea at first and it's best to avoid
these for at least six weeks.
Your sutures may be dissolving or may need to be removed.
You will be advised about this before you leave our hospital.
It is important that you avoid any strenuous exercise or
heavy lifting for six to eight weeks after breast enlargement.
It’s likely that your breasts will feel hard and swollen
just afterwards. This is quite common and they will settle
over the following weeks.
Appointments will be made for you to be seen by your surgeon
following the procedure. This is important so that we can
follow your progress afterwards.
Clients from the United Kingdom will be able to see their
surgeon in the UK.
