Breast enlargement and implants Bushey

Spire Bushey is one of north London and Hertfordshire’s leading private hospitals and we take pride in delivering high-quality 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. We offer daily appointments with leading consultants providing expert advice and the support of our experienced cosmetic nurses to help guide you.

At Spire Bushey, we offer a range of breast implant types, sizes and shapes – all 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 is 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

We also offer post-surgery support bras.

Your consultations

You’ll be able to meet one of our experienced cosmetic surgeons in a private consultation room. There’ll be an opportunity to discuss:

• The type of breast augmentation procedure that you’d like to have and the different implant options that are available to you
• Your medical history
• Any other surgery you might want to consider as an alternative to breast augmentation, such as breast uplift, as this might be a better option for you
• The kind of tests you’ll need to have before the procedure
• What’s involved in having the surgery, including the anaesthetic, and any risks and complications
• Any other questions or concerns you may have about your surgery and what happens afterwards

You won’t be put under pressure to make any decisions straight away, every individual is different and you need to do what's right for you. Your consultant will explain that even if you feel sure about what you’d like to do next, there’s at least a two week cooling-off period before the operation in case you change your mind. At Spire Bushey, you also have the support of our dedicated cosmetic nurses who are on hand to answer your questions and guide you through the process.

Before you go ahead with the operation, you may need to have a pre-operative assessment, which involves a number of standard tests to make sure you're fit and well for surgery.

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 all the comforts and conveniences you’d expect at home.

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

If you’ve come with a friend or family member, they’re welcome to wait in your room while you have your operation.

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

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:
