Benefits
Enhanced breast size and shapeImproved body proportionLong-lasting resultsTailored implant selectionNatural feel and appearanceRenewed confidence
Breast augmentation is one of the most commonly performed cosmetic procedures worldwide. It uses implants to increase the size and improve the shape of the breasts — whether to restore volume lost after pregnancy or weight loss, or to achieve a figure that feels more in proportion to your frame.
Mr Thacoor will guide you through the selection of implant type (silicone gel), size, profile and placement (above or below the muscle), always prioritising a result that looks and feels natural for your body.
Safety
All implants used comply with current UK and MHRA guidelines. Mr Thacoor will discuss implant choices, longevity and safety data with you at consultation.
