Breast enlargement and implants Nottingham

At Spire Nottingham Hospital, we provide comprehensive private hospital care and our patients are at the heart of everything we do. 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 Nottingham Hospital, we offer a range of breast implant types, sizes and shapes. 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
• Mentor
• Eurosilimed
• Sebbin
• Polytech
• Motiva
• Johnson & Johnson

We offer Mentor branded implants.

Your consultations

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

Your initial appointments will take place in a private consultation room. We’ll:

• Ask about your medical history
• Explain any tests you’ll need before your surgery
• Tell you about the procedure, anaesthetic, the different implant options, and any potential complications and risks
• Suggest an alternative treatment such as a breast uplift, if we think it’s more appropriate for you
• Explain the cooling-off period we offer to allow you time to give full consideration to this important decision
• Give you a chance to ask any questions you have about your treatment and aftercare

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

Some people can go home on the same day as their procedure. Your surgeon will be able to advise you about this, as well as what to bring with you. You’ll have your own en-suite room if you need to stay overnight, which has:

• Freeview TV
• En-suite Bathroom
• Walk-in shower
• Armchair
• Free WiFi
• Complimentary toiletries
• Robe and slippers
• Nurse call system

When you arrive for your surgery, you’ll meet your anaesthetist and the surgical team. If you've come with a friend or family member, they're welcome to wait in our café while you have your operation.

Before your surgery, you’ll have a general anaesthetic meaning you’ll be asleep. During the procedure, which usually takes 60-90 minutes, the surgeon will make some cuts (incisions) in your breasts to insert the new implants.

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:
