Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure to increase the size, improve the shape, or restore the volume of the breasts using implants, autologous fat transfer, or a combination of both.
- Enhanced breast volume and projection tailored to your anatomy and goals
- Improved breast shape, symmetry, and proportion for natural-looking results
- Restoration of volume lost after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight loss

Results
An immediate change in breast size and shape is visible after surgery, though initial swelling takes several weeks to settle. Implants also take time to “drop and fluff” into their final position. The settled result is typically apparent by 3–6 months.

How Does It Work
Breast augmentation is performed under general anaesthetic. Dr Williams selects the implant type (silicone gel), size, shape (round or anatomical), profile, and pocket placement (above or below the muscle) based on your anatomy, tissue characteristics, and desired outcome. A carefully placed incision — typically in the inframammary fold (beneath the breast) — allows the implant to be inserted into the prepared pocket. The incision is closed with dissolving sutures and a supportive surgical bra is applied. For patients seeking a more natural approach, autologous fat transfer (using your own fat) can be used alone or in combination with implants. Dr Williams’s subspecialist breast expertise ensures a precise, tailored approach to every augmentation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Are The Benefits?
- Increased breast volume and projection
- Improved breast shape, symmetry, and proportion
- Restoration of volume lost after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight loss
- Choice of implant-based, fat transfer, or combined approaches
- Boosted body confidence and improved fit of clothing
What complementary treatments are available?
- Breast uplift (mastopexy) — combined augmentation-mastopexy for patients with both volume loss and ptosis
- Liposuction — to refine body contours and provide donor fat for fat transfer
- Abdominoplasty — as part of a post-pregnancy “mummy makeover”
- Non-surgical skin tightening — to improve skin elasticity
What is the post-treatment advice?
- Wear a supportive surgical bra continuously for the recommended duration
- Avoid strenuous activities, heavy lifting, and upper body exercise for 6 weeks
- Sleep on your back to reduce pressure on the breasts
- Keep incisions clean and follow wound care instructions
- Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments
- Contact your surgeon if you experience unusual swelling, pain, or signs of infection
What are the risks?
Risks include capsular contracture (hardening of scar tissue around the implant), infection, bleeding, implant malposition, asymmetry, changes in nipple sensation (usually temporary), poor scarring, and the potential need for implant replacement in the future. All risks will be discussed in detail during consultation.
What CAN I EXPECT?
- Immediate improvement in breast size and shape
- Swelling settles over several weeks; implants settle into final position by 3–6 months
- Scars fade significantly over time and are concealed in the inframammary fold
- Long-lasting, confidence-boosting results
Who is this treatment unsuitable for?
- Patients who are currently pregnant or breastfeeding
- Those planning pregnancy in the near future (best to wait until after final pregnancy)
- Active smokers
- Patients with unrealistic expectations about size or shape outcomes
- Those with uncontrolled medical conditions
