Preparing for breast uplift surgery at Spire Tunbridge Wells Hospital

We're located in Kent, six miles from the centre of Royal Tunbridge Wells and the nearest station is Tunbridge Wells. We also have free on-site parking available for you and your visitors.
Your consultations
Once you’ve made an enquiry, we can arrange your first appointment within a few days.
You’ll meet one of our experienced cosmetic surgeons in a private consultation room. They’ll ask you about your medical history and why you’d like to have breast uplift surgery. There’ll be an opportunity for you to ask any questions about your treatment and recovery. You can also find out more about:
- What’s involved, including the anaesthetic and any risks or complications
- Tests that you may need before surgery
- How long it will take to get back to normal
- What support is available
There’s a cooling-off period for two weeks after your appointment. This gives you time to make sure you want to proceed with surgery.
Before you go ahead with the operation, you may need to have a pre-operative assessment.
