Your consultations

One of our experienced cosmetic surgeons will be able to offer you an initial consultation within a few days of your enquiry.

Your appointment will take place in a consultation room. This will give us a chance to find out about your medical history and reasons for wanting the treatment. This also gives you a chance to ask questions about the surgery and aftercare. We’ll tell you about:

  • Any tests you’ll need before your surgery
  • The procedure, the different techniques available and the anaesthetic
  • Any potential complications and risks and how they may affect you
  • The cooling-off period to allow you time to fully consider whether to go ahead with the surgery
  • The personalised aftercare you’ll receive

You may also need to have a pre-operative assessment before the procedure.

Here’s what to expect after you arrive for your breast uplift surgery:

  • You’ll meet your surgical team and anaesthetist

  • Your surgeon will carry out the operation to lift and reshape your breasts, using the technique previously agreed at your consultation
