Should I Consider Breast Augmentation in Glasgow?

As part of your consultation, your surgeon will carry out a detailed examination of your physical characteristics, recommending the surgical technique and implant size that will be best for you and your personal cosmetic goals.

You will most likely benefit from a breast augmentation if:

  • You are self-conscious about the size of your breasts
  • Your breasts have become smaller and less shapely because of pregnancy or after losing weight
  • You have one breast that is notably smaller than the other (asymmetry)

What's Involved in a Breast Augmentation?

Breast enlargement in Glasgow is a popular choice among women who desire larger breasts, those who wish to correct a size discrepancy between the breasts, or those interested in replacing breast tissue lost after pregnancy or weight loss. Breast enlargement surgery (also known as breast augmentation) can be achieved using silicone breast implants or through the injection of a patient's own fat. 

In some cases, implants can also be used after a mastectomy to restore the breast. We use both round and teardrop-shaped breast implants, depending on the type of look you want from your breast augmentation. Your surgeon will discuss your options with you and will recommend the most appropriate type and size for your physique.

At Elanic we can offer breast enlargement at our purpose-built clinic in the centre of Glasgow on a day case surgery basis. Under sedation and local anaesthetic, you can have your procedure in Elanic and be home recovering in your own bed on the very same day. To learn more, reach out to our call centre and schedule your consultation with a member of our staff.

High-Quality Breast Implants by Johnson & Johnson

At Elanic we only use Mentor breast implants by Johnson and Johnson®. From such a respected household name, you can expect the finest quality implants available. Due to the quality of Mentor breast implants, we are able to offer one of the most comprehensive warranty packages available and unlike most clinics, we are crystal clear on what we do cover, and what we don’t. Every breast augmentation procedure is covered by the following warranties:

One Year

One year of coverage against any complications including infection, implant rupture, malposition, and seroma—we will conduct your surgery for free in the event of any of these problems in the first year after surgery.

Three Years

Three years of coverage against capsular contracture. We will conduct your exchange of implants for free in the event that you suffer Grade III or Grade IV capsular contracture in the first three years after your surgery.

10 Years

Ten years of coverage against capsular contracture. Mentor will provide free implants if you experience Grade III or IV capsular contracture within 10 years of your surgery. Surgical costs will be met by the patient. (A contribution of 1000 euros and free breast implants are provided by Johnson and Johnson as part of this warranty.)

Mentor Patientcare Promise Lifetime

This limited warranty means that at any stage if you suffer an implant rupture, then Mentor will provide you with a replacement set of breast implants, but not pay for the procedure.

These warranties are operated by Johnson and Johnson Ltd, are outwith the control of Elanic Ltd, and are subject to change. These warranties are international and can be used with any provider. Your warranties are covered both by Elanic Ltd and by your surgeon, therefore if Elanic was ever to cease trading your cover will still exist with your surgeon.

3D Imaging Technolgy by Vectra

Vectra is a 3D imaging camera system that allows your own body to be captured in 3D and then visualised on screen. It is then possible to select implants from Mentor and to see how your results might look with a given set of implants. Not only can you choose what size will best suit your proportions and body type, but you can also narrow down your choices in terms of shape, profile, and position. 

You will be able to see how you will look in different types of clothes, with different sizes of implants. We believe that Vectra is a fantastic educational tool, allowing clients to take the guesswork out of choosing their implant size. We believe this is an essential part of your consultation and as such, we include a Vectra scan free of charge to all our breast augmentation clients.

What Are the Benefits of Breast Enlargement in Glasgow?

Your reasons for having a breast enlargement will be personal to you, and at Elanic we respect this and will discuss your individual circumstances with you during your consultation with the surgeon. There are several benefits that come along with investing in a breast enlargement including: 

  • Increased overall confidence in your appearance
  • The ability to wear clothing you've previously not felt comfortable in 
  • A more feminine feeling 
  • Breasts that are more in proportion with the rest of your body 
  • Restoring volume that may have been lost due to breastfeeding or substantial weight loss

Customising Your Treatment Plan

During your consultation, your surgeon will discuss all the important details of your procedure with you, including implant size, type, and placement. Elanic has access to state-of-the-art 3D body imaging software, which allows you to see what your potential results will look like. This gives you an unparalleled amount of power when it comes to finding the perfect implants for you. 

Elanic uses high-quality Mentor implants from Johnson & Johnson, a worldwide leader in the manufacture of breast implants. These implants are available in different shapes and profiles, depending on your personal situation and desired outcome. At Elanic, you’ll be able to choose from a staff of dedicated surgeons, and your consultant will advise you on what implant and positioning are best.

What Should I Expect the Day of My Procedure?

At Elanic, we perform breast enlargement as a day case surgery, under sedation and local anesthetic. The procedure typically takes between one and two hours, meaning you’ll be able to recover in the comfort of your own home with 24/7 support provided by our dedicated nursing staff. 

After your surgery, you’ll need to arrange for someone to pick you up and stay with you for up to 24 hours. You’ll need to wear a compression garment for a relatively short period of time, as this will aid in your recovery process and ensure an ideal result from your surgery. You’ll get thorough aftercare instructions before your procedure.

Breast Augmentation Recovery

After your breast augmentation surgery, you’ll likely experience some bruising, swelling, and localised pain. If needed, your medical provider can prescribe you pain medication to alleviate the discomfort. Regularly applying a cold compress to the treatment area can also be effective in reducing the bruising and swelling.

During the first week of your recovery, it will be important to rest frequently. Once you feel up to it, though, you should start taking light walks around your home. After one week, you will have a follow-up appointment with your surgeon to evaluate your progress. Typically, patients need approximately two weeks of recovery before resuming their normal routine and returning to work. However, it’s advised that you refrain from strenuous exercise or physical activity for at least six weeks following your surgery.

Glasgow Breast Augmentation Results

Although the effects of your breast augmentation will likely be visible immediately after the surgery, the final results will appear gradually. In the weeks and months following your procedure, the swelling and bruising will subside, and your breast implants will settle into place. Typically, it takes around three to four months before you can see the complete effects of the breast augmentation procedure. However, it may take approximately six to nine months for your incision scars to fade.

If you maintain a healthy lifestyle and a stable weight, your breast augmentation results can last for at least 10 to 20 years before your implants need to be replaced.

FAQ's

Do breast implants sag over time?

Breast implants will sag over time as the breast tissue ages. Expect this change to happen gradually over the course of about ten years. Smaller implants tend to stay more elevated, while larger implants sag more quickly.

Can your body reject breast implants years later?

Your body may develop breast implant illness, reject breast implants or form capsular contracture years after your breast implants are inserted.

Do breast implants cause weight gain?

It is common to gain about five to ten pounds after breast implant surgery. This is due to the implants themselves, fluid retention, or the use of prescription medications. Your weight should return to normal as your swelling subsides.

Can breasts get bigger after implants?

Breasts can change over time and may grow even if you don’t gain weight. As the swelling resolves and your breast tissue softens up, the implants will settle into a softer and rounder position, which causes them to look larger and closer together.

Can I lift my arms after breast surgery?

Do not lift your arms above your shoulders for one to two weeks after surgery. Do not lift anything that weighs over five pounds.
