What are the benefits of this procedure?
Many women are unhappy with the size and shape of their breasts, whether from a lack of development, or from the changes associated with pregnancy or ageing. At your consultation, which usually lasts 45 minutes, Mr Morgan will discuss with you the various options that are available with regards to implant size and shape, implant location, scar placement, and implant type. Every woman is different and has unique expectations, and we feel confident that following this discussion you will arrive at a decision that is right for you.
Is Mr Morgan experienced in breast augmentations?
Mr Morgan has had many years of experience performing breast augmentations. At your consultation, Mr Morgan will be able to show you before and after photos of his patients, many of who will likely have had the same concerns about their breasts as you. With a passion for this particular treatment, you can feel confident that your surgeon is not only experienced but dedicated to achieving results.
How is it performed?
This type of surgery is performed under general anaesthesia and is either a day surgery or it can involve an overnight stay in hospital. Post-operative pain is usually limited and is well controlled with pain relief tablets. Your wounds will be covered with waterproof dressings so that you may shower as soon as you feel comfortable. You will be asked to wear a soft surgical bra for support and comfort during the first two weeks to allow your breast to heal properly into their new shape, and you should avoid heavy lifting for the first 6 weeks.
How long will I need to recover?
Everyone will have a different experience and will recover from their operation differently. Although uncommon, complications can also potentially occur during your breast reconstruction and this may result in a longer recovery time. Generally, most women return to light activities within one week, and you may be able to return to work by the end of the second week. Typically, most patients will recover significantly enough during these two weeks to return to social activity and office-based work. By this time, swelling will largely be resolved and you may potentially start to feel more comfortable with your new, fuller figure. More strenuous physical activity should be limited for a total of 6 weeks.
All surgical procedures carry risks.
Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
Cosmetic surgery is real surgery, and will most often require a general anaesthetic. All surgery will require a period of recovery before returning to normal activity. Although uncommon, complications can and do occur, and may affect the final result of your surgery. The potential risks will be discussed fully during your consultations, and you will have the opportunity to ask questions about the various risks in your particular circumstance. Risks may include poor quality scarring, excessive bruising and swelling, infection, bleeding, pain, asymmetry, nerve injury, anaesthetic complications, unsatisfactory cosmetic outcomes, the need for further surgery, and permanent disability or death.
As a Specialist Plastic Surgeon, Mr Morgan is appropriately trained and qualified to deal with complications of surgery, including the ability to admit you to hospital, if required.
