Step 1
One of our expert surgeons will ask you detailed questions about your medical history to assess your medical and physical health.
Step 2
You will be put under general anaesthetic or be sedated through an intravenous method.
Step 3
The incision is made, with the approach being discussed with your surgeon ahead of time. This is most commonly placed in the crease of the breast.
Step 4
The implant is then inserted into the body. It will either be positioned in between the breast tissue and the chest muscles, or partially behind the pectoral muscle.
Step 5
Once the surgeon is satisfied with the positioning of the implant, the incision will be stitched closed.
Step 6
The surgical area is then cleaned and dressed. Patients are given a surgical bra for when they return home. This aids with recovery and helps prevent injury.

Breast Augmentation Before and After

Why choose to have a breast augmentation?

There can be many reasons why women choose to have a boob job. Often, those whose breasts are sagging, small, or asymmetrical are good candidates for breast augmentation surgery. Having bigger and fuller breasts can also be a way to gain greater body confidence. Whatever the reason for breast enlargement, our friendly staff will take the time to discuss your goals before undergoing surgery of any kind. 

At Adnova, we don’t just offer procedures to increase the size of the breasts. Our breast reduction and uplift services give patients the option to reduce the size of the breasts and later alter the  position on the chest. This is to provide a comprehensive range of surgical offerings that allow our patients to achieve the outcomes they desire. The Adnova surgical team is also skilled in Gynaecomastia correction surgery should you have the condition.

Aftercare advice for breast augmentation surgery

Following the recommended advice for recovery after breast augmentation surgery is crucial to ensure the implants heal in the correct position. This will also help to speed up the healing process, preventing patient discomfort. Typically, it takes 2-3 months for the body to heal fully following breast augmentation surgery. During this time, taking these steps will help to aid the recovery: 

  • Avoid bending over and raising your arms above your head. 
  • Avoid physical exercise and other activities that raise the heart rate. 
  • Avoid driving for at least the first week after surgery. 
  • Wear a surgical support bra for the first 3-4-6 weeks. 
  • Sleep in the recommended position.

I took my daughter to Adnova to see Mr Biggs about a nasty hockey injury to her nose. After an excellent consultation, she decided to go ahead with the surgery. On arrival, the Adnova team was incredibly friendly and efficient. She was particularly nervous about the anaesthesia, but her anaesthetist Marcus Fletcher was outstanding with her. His calm manner and gentle confidence was exactly what she needed. We were sent home same day with everything we needed to keep her comfortable at home and the results have been amazing. The piezo method used by Mr Biggs meant that bruising and swelling was limited and her confidence has re-emerged. I had definitely underestimated the incredible effect this kind of surgery can have on self-confidence. I am incredibly grateful to the Adnova team, the amazing Mr Biggs and our unsung hero of the OR, Marcus Fletcher. Thank you.
