Fortunately, here at Centre for Surgery, our surgeons are in all types of breast surgery and will be able to provide customised recommendations to help you achieve better-shaped breasts. 

Option A – Breast augmentation with implants

using implants is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in the UK. Modern breast implants are now even safer than ever before. Given the wide variety of different implant customisation options, natural-looking results can be achieved. When considering breast implant surgery, there are several factors you will need to consider when choosing the ideal implant. At your consultation, your plastic surgeon will give detailed advice on the ideal incision for implant surgery, optimum breast implant placement, and the size, shape and surface of the implant. Given the wide range of options for breast implants, women can achieve their needs and desires with a surgical procedure. Breast is designed to enhance the volume of the breasts, address breast or correct volume loss after pregnancy. 

Option B – Breast lift surgery or mastopexy for droopy breasts

Another option for enhancing the breasts is with a breast lift procedure, also known as a mastopexy. is one of the best ways to eliminate sagging and restore a youthful shape. This procedure involves surgically repositioning the breast tissue and skin so that the breast sits at a higher level on the chest. This helps to create a perky look without appearing droopy. 

Women can have a breast lift of the size of their breasts. The procedure is increasingly requested as women get older. As part of the natural ageing process, the breasts begin to lose volume and skin elasticity as a result of stretching of the internal breast ligaments. Breast lift surgery is also commonly requested for women who have recently experienced and breastfeeding. Other women may have always had breasts for as long as they can remember and wish to achieve a breast shape. 

Breast implants and breast lifts are to address different purposes. A breast implant can enhance volume, although it has a limited ability to improve the shape of the breasts, especially in moderate to severe forms of breast . This is where a breast lift is highly beneficial to lift the breasts and enhance breast shape. A breast lift alone does not improve breast volume. Many women choose to have a breast lift combined with implants for results that either procedure cannot achieve on its own. Many women after pregnancy are looking to both an increase in volume and a lifting effect, hence why breast lift with implants is a highly popular procedure in London. 

Option C – Combining a breast lift and breast implants (breast lift with implants) for droopy breasts

In many cases, women would like to improve both the volume and the shape of their breasts. This is where combining a breast lift with breast implants can produce fantastic results. is also known as an augmentation mastopexy and can be performed as a single-stage procedure or as separate procedures. Your surgeon may recommend a maximum of 360cc implants if you choose to have the procedure as a single stage, as excessively large implants can increase the risk of complications. Larger implants can be chosen if you choose to stage your augmentation mastopexy procedure.
