Breast Implant Surgery
Many people choose to undergo breast implant surgery in Ipswich, Suffolk, to
- Enlarge breasts
- Lift breasts
- Improve Symmetry
- Provide more volume and fullness
- Change the appearance for anyone unhappy with their breasts
Your breast implant surgery in Ipswich, Suffolk, will take place under general anaesthetic and take approximately 1 hour. In most cases, you will be seen as a day patient and allowed home the same day. You can normally return to work in around 1 week and full recovery takes up to 6 weeks, although the recovery journey will be different for everyone.
Types of Breast Implant
There are two main types of breast implant: silicone and saline. Both types have a silicone shell but the filling is different.
- Saline breast implants are filled with sterile salt water and are generally smaller and firmer than silicone implants. In the unlikely event your saline breast implants leak, the salt water is absorbed into the body and should not cause any pain.
- Silicone breast implants are filled with a silicone gel, which is softer and provides a more natural feel and look than silicone. They are also the more expensive option. However, there are potentially greater risks of breast pain and other symptoms should they leak.
The best breast implant for you will depend on several factors. Our expert surgeon will have in-depth discussions with you to establish the best way to achieve your desired look. You may also choose to use our revolutionary technology to preview your new appearance in 3D with Crisalix.
This allows you to view how your new implants will look from the comfort of your own home. If you choose to use this, we will discuss the details and scan you for your 3D imaging at your consultation appointment.
How Long Do Breast Implants Last?
Breast implants won’t last a lifetime, but they are a long-term solution. You should expect to replace them every 10 years or so to lower the risk of rupture from general wear and tear.
It’s vital to look after your implants after surgery, which is why we include comprehensive aftercare in the price.
It’s normal for your breasts to feel different after having implants, so please ensure you attend your regular checkups to allow us to monitor your implants. We want you to be as happy with the finished results as we are.
In some cases, complications can arise which means you need replacement breast implants sooner than expected. If you have any concerns, our experienced and professional team is on hand to help.
