Breast enlargement and implants East Sussex

At Spire Sussex, we provide high quality treatments and services and are extremely proud to be rated as Outstanding by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) for our private hospital 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 Sussex, 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’s 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 Nagor and Mentor.

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.

During your consultations, 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.

Your surgeon will be able to explain how long you’re likely to stay in hospital and what you need to bring with you. In some cases, you may be ready to go home on the same day as your procedure. If you need to stay overnight, you’ll have your own private en-suite room with all the comforts you’d expect at home, including:

• TV
• Window
• Armchair
• WiFi

On the day of your surgery, there’ll be a chance to meet your anaesthetist and surgical team. Before the procedure, you’ll have a general anaesthetic so you'll be asleep.

During the operation, which usually takes between one and two hours, your surgeon will make incisions in your breasts and insert your 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:
