< Blogs < A Complete Guide to Understanding Your Breast Surgery Options
Choosing to undergo breast surgery is a deeply personal decision that can significantly enhance confidence, restore balance after life changes like pregnancy or weight loss, or alleviate physical discomfort. At Adnova Clinic in Southampton, our expert consultants offer a comprehensive range of breast surgery procedures tailored to individual goals, using advanced techniques for natural-looking, long-lasting results.
Modern breast surgery options have evolved dramatically, emphasising safety, minimal scarring, and personalised outcomes. Whether you’re considering enhancement, uplift, reduction, or a combination, this guide covers the main procedures available, their benefits, and what to expect.
Why Consider Breast Surgery?
Changes in breast shape, size, or position can occur due to ageing, pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, or genetics. Breast surgery addresses these concerns by:
- Increasing volume and fullness
- Lifting sagging breasts for a youthful contour
- Reducing oversized breasts to relieve pain and improve proportion
- Correcting asymmetry or restoring shape
At Adnova Clinic, procedures are performed as day surgery in our state-of-the-art facility, with a focus on patient comfort, transparent pricing, and exceptional aftercare.
Main Breast Surgery Options
1. Breast Augmentation (Enlargement)
Breast augmentation increases breast size and improves shape using implants or fat transfer. It’s ideal for those seeking fuller breasts or restoring volume lost after pregnancy or weight loss.
Options include:
- Silicone implants: Modern cohesive gel implants provide a natural feel and reduced risk of complications.
- Fat transfer augmentation: Using your own fat for subtle, natural enhancement (or hybrid with implants for composite results).
Benefits: Address breast aplasia, hypoplasia and post-partum or weight loss atrophy, Enhanced curves, improved symmetry, boosted confidence. Often combined with other procedures for comprehensive results.
2. Breast Uplift (Mastopexy)
A breast uplift or mastopexy reshapes and elevates sagging breasts without significantly changing size, removing excess skin and repositioning the nipple for a perkier appearance.
Ideal for: Post-pregnancy changes, ageing, or weight loss effects. Techniques vary based on skin quality and degree of ptosis (sagging).
Benefits: Youthful, elevated profile; can be combined with augmentation for added volume.
3. Breast Reduction
Breast reduction removes excess tissue, fat, and skin to create smaller, more proportionate breasts. It’s particularly beneficial for those experiencing physical symptoms.
Common issues addressed: Neck, back, or shoulder pain; skin irritation; posture problems.
Benefits: Relief from discomfort, improved mobility, and balanced body proportions.
4. Combined Procedures: Augmentation with Uplift
Many patients benefit from breast augmentation with mastopexy, adding volume while lifting sagging tissue for a fuller, uplifted look.
Ideal for: “Deflated” breasts after breastfeeding or weight loss. This hybrid approach delivers transformative, harmonious results.
