The popular desire for fuller breasts is probably why the enlargement procedure is one of the most common cosmetic treatments in the country; however the apparent abundance of availability masks the fact that the treatment requires a high level of surgical expertise.
Breast Enlargement Surgical Techniques
At 111 Harley Street we believe it is essential that anyone who is about to undertake a breast enlargement operation is fully aware of the surgical options available to them and the results that are likely to be achieved. This is why we value personal consultations with a surgeon so highly and why they will only ever be conducted with one who specialises in breast enlargement and who is on the UK Plastics Surgery Specialist Register.
The skills of our surgeons allow us to provide the fullest range of breast enlargement options and include the capability to introduce the implant through one of three insertion points:
Below the breast – this is probably the most common procedure where the incision for the implant is made under the breast, in the crease where the breast meets the chest. Following surgery the enlarged breast rests over the incision point masking any residual scarring.
Around the Areola – this is a virtually scar free procedure as the incision is made in an area that due to its colour and texture renders the incision point virtually invisible. This technique is popular amongst those who wish to outwardly conceal, as much as possible, the evidence of a breast enlargement procedure. Also through the same incision point it is possible to conduct a mini lift of the breasts.
Under the armpit – implants can be inserted from under the armpit which again is a virtually scar free procedure as any residual scarring is simply not visible when the arms are not elevated.
“MORE NATURAL”
At 111 Harley St. we offer the ultimate breast enhancement procedure with “More Natural”. All our breast enlargement techniques will give you a very natural appearance but with “More Natural” we go one step further.
Not only do we provide the very highest standards of breast enhancement surgery but we combine it with the latest in post-surgery skin care using Fraxel® laser technology to provide the most natural looking results possible.
No matter how skilled the surgeon all patients will have a small amount of scarring following breast surgery. For most women this low level of scarring is not an issue but for some it can be a major concern. With “More Natural” patients, as part of their planned recovery, are treated with Fraxel® scar revision technology which can reduce visible scarring by up to 80%.
If scarring is a concern for you then there really is a “More Natural” way to beautiful, natural looking breasts.
Whatever the detail of the breast enhancement that is agreed with your surgeon you can be assured that only Allergen implants of the highest quality will be used. 111 Harley St offers the widest range of implants, including Natrelle, for a bespoke approach and the most natural look and feel. All of the implants come with a lifetime guarantee and their manufacture is regulated by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) the world’s most demanding medical approval authority.
At 111 Harley St. not only are we rigorous in our choice of implants we also do all we can to ensure their size is perfect too. We are one of a limited number of practices in London that uses Bio Dynamic Analysis to help patients fully understand the impact of different sized breast enhancements. Using this sophisticated measuring and final result technique enables patients to have greater interaction with the surgeon and allows them to visualise the shape and appearance of the skin post surgery. They are even able to see what the enhancement will look like under clothes.
For many women, the result of breast augmentation can be immensely satisfying, even exhilarating, as they learn to appreciate their fuller appearance. At 111 Harley Street we do everything we can to meet patients’ goals and ensure that their surgery is a success at both a physical and emotional level.
