Breast Augmentation (“Boob Job”)

Breast augmentation is designed to improve the size and/or shape of the breast. Augmentation, also known as enlargement, is a cosmetic surgery procedure that is usually performed following the loss of breast volume. This loss of volume could be due to any of the following reasons; previous breast surgery, child birth / breast feeding or weight loss.

Breast augmentation is also considered by many patients in the Birmingham area to improve their body contour or to achieve breast symmetry in asymmetrical breasts. The procedure involves placing a silicone gel or saline implant in the pocket created in each breast.

Breast Uplift (Mastopexy)

Mastopexy, more commonly known as a breast lift or uplift, is a procedure that raises (uplifts) and reshapes the breasts giving a more youthful overall appearance. Surgery involves an incision that is made around the areola and extends downwards towards the lower end of the breast and looks like a ‘key hole’.

Sometimes further incision is added horizontally along the breast crease. Breast uplift does not add to the breast tissue but does change the overall shape and position of both nipples and the breast. Breast implants can be inserted in combined surgery to increase the size and improve firmness.

Breast Reduction

Breast reduction is the surgical procedure of reducing the size of large breasts. Also known as reduction mammaplasty, this procedure is designed to bring about a more proportionate body figure and creates a more functional bust for the patient, who may or may not struggle with symptoms but are unhappy with the way their breasts look.

Excess fat and skin are removed during a reduction procedure and breasts can be reshaped to a more desired shape and reposition the nipples.

This loss of volume could be due to any of the following reasons; previous breast surgery, child birth / breast feeding or weight loss. Breast augmentation is also considered by many patients in the Birmingham area to improve their body contour or to achieve breast symmetry in asymmetrical breasts. The procedure involves placing a silicone gel or saline implant in the pocket created in each breast.
