8 Breast Introduction to Breast Surgery Many women choose to create the breast shape they want through cosmetic surgery. Whether you are looking to create larger breasts, smaller breasts or a more aesthetically pleasing profile, The Hospital Group offer the full range of breast procedures. The most popular 3 main procedures are as follows Breast Augmentation - the most popular option, creating fuller breasts Breast Uplift to create a more youthful or perky look and eliminate sag Breast Reduction removes the discomfort that over-large bust can cause However, The Hospital Group s skilled surgeons also offer a number of less well-known distinct options to enable you to achieve the complete results you are looking for. These include: Nipple lift Areola reduction Inverted nipple Breast implant removal or replacement These more specialised procedures can be considered alone or in conjunction with a breast enlargement, uplift or reduction to enable you to achieve complete satisfaction with your finished result. 8

10 Breast Enlarging the Bust Breast enlargement surgery today offers you a unique opportunity to achieve a fuller, larger bust for a feminine, curvy figure and a more confident you. A wide range of implants means that you can choose not only the size of implant, but also the shape and feel for the result you want to achieve. Generally the larger you want your cup size, the larger the implant. For the most natural look, you will probably want your new breasts to be in proportion with your body as a whole. What is Involved? Your Surgeon will make an incision (in the natural crease beneath the breast where it meets the chest wall) and create a pocket for the breast implant, where it is then positioned above or below the muscle, according to your discussions and agreement.

12 Breast Uplifting the Bust - Mastopexy A breast uplift or Mastopexy is particularly suitable for women whose breasts have lost their shape or are sagging. It is most commonly performed to reverse the effects that often follow pregnancy, breast-feeding, weight loss and ageing, where the ligaments become relaxed and do not support the breast as they used to. This procedure delivers a dramatically rejuvenated profile to bring back your curves and proportions. What is Involved? The surgeon will carefully remove a small section of excess skin from each breast to lift the bust-line, giving a more youthful and perky appearance. In some cases, if there is also a loss of volume in the breast, an implant may also be used to fill out the breast as well as lift it. This procedure is known as a breast uplift with augmentation.

14 Breast Reducing the Bust Large breasts can be the cause of very significant physical discomfort, often causing backache or shoulder pain on a daily basis. Equally, there is embarrassment and self-consciousness for the patient and the difficulty of finding clothing in the right proportions. A breast reduction, also known as Reduction Mammoplasty, can relieve the pain and misery caused by overly large breasts. What is Involved? Plastic surgery to correct over-large breasts involves the removal of excess breast tissue. Surgery is performed under general anaesthetic and will require an overnight stay in hospital.

16 Implant Breast Implant Replacement If you already have implants, you may for a number of reasons be seeking to change them. Breast technology has advanced rapidly and the latest options give you more choice than ever before so you can achieve just the look you want. It s not wrong to seek further procedures to refine your shape after a few years. Reasons include: Wish you'd gone bigger! Want a different shape e.g. more natural, more or less cleavage Want to go smaller again, perhaps due to change in weight, body shape or ageing Breast Implant Removal Although replacement is a more common option, The Hospital Group also offer Breast Implant Removal for patients who no longer wish to have implants. As with all breast surgery, this procedure is carried out under General Anaesthetic. 16
