Breast enlargement at Spire Liverpool Hospital

At Spire Liverpool, we pride ourselves on our long standing reputation as a private hospital that provides high standards of patient care. Our cosmetic surgeons can offer you a wide choice of breast augmentation implants to achieve the look you want. You’ll have access to expert advice to help you decide what’s right for you.

At Spire Liverpool, we offer a range of breast implant types, sizes and shapes – in a variety of brands. Your consultant will help you choose the best options for you.

Types of implant:

• Silicone gel (soft or firm) – for a more natural feel that are less likely to wrinkle, with Polyurethane-coated implants less likely to rotate
• Saline – may be more prone to wrinkling than silicone but lower risk of complications if they rupture

Shapes available:

• Teardrop shape – you can choose the height and width separately, so there’s more flexibility with the shape
• Round shape – a greater volume at the top
• Projection – choose how much the implant sticks out to give a subtle or a more obvious look

Brands that we offer include:

• Allergan
• Nagor
• Sebbin

Your consultations

Once you’ve made an enquiry, we can quickly arrange for you to meet one of our team of experienced cosmetic surgeons. You’ll usually be offered an appointment within a few days.

During your consultations you’ll have the chance to talk about the type of breast augmentation surgery you’d like, as well as the range of implants we can provide. Your consultant will ask you about your medical history and may carry out a pre-operative assessment.

You’ll be able to discuss:

• Other alternatives to breast surgery that might be a better option, such as breast uplift
• What’s involved when you have surgery
• The kind of anaesthetic you’ll have
• Possible risks or complications
• Any tests that need to be carried out before your procedure

Your consultant will be able to answer any questions you may have about your surgery and its results, but there’s no pressure to make a decision. Even if you feel certain about what you want to do next, you’ll have plenty of time to change your mind after your appointment during the cooling-off period.

You may be able to go home on the same day as your operation. If you do need to stay overnight, you'll have one of our en-suite private rooms. All of our rooms have the comforts and conveniences you’d expect at home, including:

• TV
• Window
• Armchair
• En-suite
• Bedside cabinet

Your consultant will explain to you beforehand how long you’re likely to stay and whether you need to bring anything.

Here’s what will happen after you arrive for your breast enlargement surgery:

• You’ll meet your surgery team and anaesthetist
• You’ll be given a general anaesthetic so you’ll be asleep for the operation
• Once it’s taken effect, your surgeon will make an incision then carry out the operation to insert your new breast implants
• Your operation will take around 60–90 minutes

If you've come with a friend or family member, they're welcome to wait in your private room while you have your operation. We also have a waiting area they can use with hot drinks and snacks available to purchase.

After surgery, you’ll probably feel some pain or discomfort – our nursing team will give you painkillers to help you with this.

Although everybody’s different and you should always follow your consultant’s advice, here’s a typical recovery timeline for breast enlargement surgery:
