A look at the many different reasons for considering breast enlargement surgery at The Edinburgh Clinic, and the important information that potential patients should consider.
The beginning of a new year is always a popular time for reinvention and new beginnings, as we seek to leave the past behind and redefine ourselves for the coming 12 months.
This drive for a fresh start might manifest itself in splurging on a new wardrobe in the January sales, planning for a holiday later in the year or maybe even changing career. For many women though, the change they want to make is more fundamental than that.
Opting for breast augmentation is not a decision to be taken lightly, and only after proper professional consultation with an experienced practitioner. It is nonetheless the most common cosmetic surgery procedure in the UK and for many women it is a choice that has positively impacted on their lives, their confidence and their views of themselves.
And while breast augmentation can of course be desired purely for personal aesthetic reasons, it is also commonly used to aid with postural discomfort, recovery from bodily changes like pregnancy or weight loss, and reconstruction after mastectomy and other surgeries.
Whatever the reason though, the ultimate goal remains the same – to help each woman to feel comfortable in and happy with her own body.
Not necessarily, no! While many women do wish to make a significant enlargement to their bust, it’s actually much more common to opt for more subtle alterations to breast shape and size.
Perhaps certain items of clothing don’t sit quite as you would like, or maybe you just want to have a chest size that’s more proportional and in keeping with the rest of your body. This is where discussing the subject thoroughly with members of our surgical team is so important.
It’s vital to carefully consider whether this sort of surgery is right for you in the first place and to ensure that, if you do decide to proceed, the results you are expecting are both achievable and right for you.
