Breast Augmentation in Manchester

In breast augmentation surgery, an incision is created either alongside or beneath the breast, and the implant is carefully inserted into a pocket, which can be situated either above the muscle (subfascial) or partially beneath the muscle (dual-plane). The incisions are meticulously sutured and dressed to initiate the recovery process. Dr Khoda employs the non-touch aseptic technique to prevent contamination, ensuring that the implant does not come into contact with the skin incision.

The surgical procedure typically lasts for 30 to 60 minutes, conducted under general anaesthesia. At Ben Khoda Aesthetics, breast augmentation is available as a day-case surgery, obviating the need for most patients to spend the night at the Manchester-based hospital.

At our clinic in Manchester, we present a variety of high-quality implant options, the advantages of which will be discussed during your consultation.

• Implant choice – options include smooth, nanotextured, or microtextured.
• Implant shape – you can choose between round or teardrop shapes.
• Implant brand – we offer both Motiva and Mentor options.

Motiva® implants, hand-crafted and durable, feature exceptional elasticity, making them easy to insert through smaller incisions. These implants are remarkably soft, retaining their natural feel and shape. Their specialised surface design helps reduce inflammation, thereby lowering the risk of complications. Patients typically enjoy a remarkable softness and a natural ‘bounce.’

MENTOR® offers a range of options, allowing women to achieve their desired breast shape and texture. MemoryGel® implants maintain a uniform feel similar to natural breast tissue, while offering the opportunity for a custom, personalised shape. MemoryShape® implants are renowned for their shape retention, providing a natural and enduring breast appearance.

Following the surgery at our Manchester clinic, you will require a week of rest at home to ensure a complete recovery. Upon leaving the hospital, you will be outfitted with surgical dressings and a supportive surgical bra, which should be worn for approximately 6 weeks. It typically takes about 3 months for the implants to fully settle.

• Ensure you have a designated driver to take you home and stay with you for the first 24 hours after the surgery.
• Plan to take at least a week off from work.
• Minimise the use of your arms and chest – seek assistance when needed.
• Refrain from driving for a minimum of one week.
• Sleep on your back for at least a month following the surgery.
• Avoid exercise and strenuous activities for a month.
• Take daily, gentle showers.
• Keep the treated area out of direct sunlight for a year.

At Ben Khoda Aesthetics, we strategically place scars in the breast fold, axilla, or areola to ensure minimal visibility. Dr Khoda specialises in small incision surgery, leading to minimal and less noticeable scarring.

Breast implants have a long-lasting but not permanent lifespan. We recommend regular self-examinations and annual clinical check-ups. Implant replacement may be necessary if there are changes in the breasts over time, the patient elects to do so, capsular contracture occurs, or in the case of implant movement or rupture.

Every surgical procedure carries inherent risks. Dr Khoda will bring his expertise and skill to minimise your risk to the greatest extent possible. You will receive comprehensive health guidance related to your surgery, the procedure itself will prioritise safety, and you will be provided with detailed postoperative care instructions. Potential surgical complications include infection, bleeding, suboptimal scarring, breast asymmetry, pain, numbness, skin sensitivity, fluid retention, blood clots in the legs and lungs, implant misplacement or rupture, capsular contracture, Breast Implant Illness (BII) and Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma (BIA-ALCL), which is a rare lymphoma affecting 1 in 25,000 patients.
