Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation is also called breast enlargement or referred to as a “boob job”.

Natural Breast Enlargement in Manchester

Breast augmentation surgery is also known as breast enlargement, breast enhancement or as a “boob job”. This involves creating more volume in the breasts for a fuller look, commonly with a breast implant or fat transfer. It can also be combined with other procedures such as breast uplift/mastopexy.

Breast enlargement procedures by Gary Ross in Manchester often take between 1 and 2 hours and are done under general anaesthetic. Incisions can be placed under the breast at the crease, the areola or in the armpit, depending on your unique case. Breast implants are then placed either under the gland, under the muscle or a combination of both.

The Results Speak For Itself
Mr Ross was totally realistic about what could be achieved for a smaller, softer and more natural look, but I trusted him intuitively. He was extremely thorough in his explanation of the procedure and the end result speaks for itself - just perfect! I now finally have breasts that look and feel totally natural.

Breast Enlargement Post-Operation

Our patients are delighted with the results from breast implants in Manchester, although common concerns are normal and include a change in sensation, bruising, and swelling, which can cause them to look asymmetrical temporarily. Keep your wounds dry for 2 days; keep to light showers until your post-op review a week after. Avoid any strenuous exercise in the first 2 weeks and wear a support bra for 4-6 weeks after breast augmentation surgery. It often can take weeks or several months for the final results of your breast enlargement in Manchester, which is very normal.

How much breast enhancement surgery in Manchester
costs costs depends solely on the procedure one is having and whether it is suitable for the patient. Due to breast augmentation surgery varying in the combinations of procedures that can be had, it is difficult to determine how much it will cost. Other factors that contribute to the cost are the type of implant that one will have and the size of the implants. After a consultation with your breast enhancement surgeon in Manchester, if you are suitable for the surgery, you will be given a quote. This will include the hospital, surgeon and anaesthetic fees.

The only alternative surgical technique to enlarge the breast is an autologous fat transfer or a breast augmentation fat transfer. This is a complex technique where fat is removed by liposuction from one part of the body and transferred to the breast area.

The breast enlargement increase in size is usually modest and smaller than can be achieved with an implant, therefore giving a very natural and minimal look. Often, patients will require several treatments to achieve a noticeable result. It is thought that our fat can be safely injected into the breast, although longer-term evaluation is required to determine its safety, and you should remain under follow-up with your breast enhancement surgeon in Manchester.

Having breast augmentation surgery in Manchester is a common procedure to have, and many ask whether silicone implants are safe. We only use tested, medical-grade breast implants, and complications are very rare and far between.

There are many different types of implants but most opt for a more natural-feeling implant when having breast augmentation surgery in Manchester. This will mean that a silicone gel-filled implant is a favourable choice, as they also perform much better than saline-filled ones in the long term. Sometimes you may be offered saline implants that can be adjusted post-surgery. Gummy bear implants are a new variant but are very similar to silicone gel-filled implants; the difference is that they feel even more natural and last longer.

If you ever have any concerns, contact Mr Ross.

Breast enlargement surgery in Manchester is perfect for those who wish to rejuvenate the breast, which includes increasing volume, improving the shape and correcting breast asymmetry with an implant or fat transfer. Breast augmentation surgery is also suitable for those who have recently undergone breast reconstruction surgery.

Breast enlargement, breast implants and any other form of plastic surgery is not suitable for those who feel pressured to change their body by others or anyone who has an extensive medical history or who smokes, though this will be discussed in greater detail in your consultation with Gary Ross, a breast enlargement surgeon in Manchester.


Breast implants push your natural breasts forward, and so do not make it any more difficult to examine your breasts for lumps. You need to be aware that
1 in 10 women develop breast cancer, and if you find a discrete lump, you should consult with your GP.

If you find a lump or you are of an age to enter a breast-screening programme, you may be offered a mammogram. You need to tell the mammography service that you have breast implants, as you may require special views or a different type of scan.

The ability to breastfeed should not be affected by breast augmentation. If one is unable to breastfeed after breast enhancement surgery, it may be that one would have been unable to breastfeed in any case.

Uncommon risks and early complications of surgery for breast augmentation in Manchester include:

Infection or haematoma extrusion of the implant seroma formation and thickened scar. risks of general anaesthesia. Sensation changes, i.e., nipples may be hyper- or hyposensitive. It is uncommon to have permanent changes in sensation, but it can take several months to return to normal. Implants can rotate within the pocket; anatomical implants, when they rotate, can cause a change in shape. Over time, ripples or folds may be palpable, especially in certain positions. Intermittent swelling usually resolves, but if it persists, it may warrant further investigation by visiting your breast augmentation surgeon in Manchester.

While this is discussed leading up to your surgery, we encourage our patients to ask as many questions regarding the potential risks associated with breast enlargement surgery. Overall, this is a safe procedure and in the hands of Mr Ross, you can rest assured of a smooth process.

It is well known that when one has breast augmentation surgery, they will often need breast augmentation revision surgery in the future to replace or remove it.

With time, just as the implant ages, so does the breast tissue. It may be that further surgery to tighten the skin is required, such as a
mastopexy at a later date, and everyone undergoing breast enhancement surgery in Manchester should be aware of the need for further surgery for both the implants and the skin/breast tissue. Over time, there may be a need for a breast augmentation revision.

The chances of having a revision for any reason after a breast enlargement are about 1-3% a year. So, after 10 years, about 10-30% of women will have had a revision. Aside from the change of size, capsular contracture is the most common reason for needing a
breast augmentation removal or revision.
