How it works.
What to expect, start to finish.
At your consultation you try sizes with 3D imaging and your surgeon explains the options, from implant placement and profile to a lift or reduction when that is the better answer. Surgery takes one to three hours, most clients are back at a desk within a week and lifting resumes at six weeks.
- Augmentation
- Lift
- Reduction
Your visit, step by step
- Before
A consultation with 3D sizing, implant options and a written quote; labs and a pre-operative visit follow.
- During
One to three hours under general anesthesia in our accredited surgical suite.
- After
A support garment for six weeks, a review at one week and a gradual return to exercise.
Know the names.
The makers, products and standards we reference when we talk about breast surgery.
The three-dimensional consultation
VECTRA captures three-dimensional face and body images for planning and consultation previews. A 3D preview is a communication aid, with a different status from a predicted result.
- Discuss proportion from several views.
- Ask which anatomical limits a preview cannot communicate.
- Keep the consent conversation separate from the preview.
Beyond implant size
MENTOR MemoryGel is a silicone-gel breast implant family offered in different sizes and profiles. Implant selection also requires discussion of tissue, placement, complications and future surgery.
- Review the manufacturer-specific patient decision checklist.
- Discuss long-term monitoring and rupture evaluation.
- Compare augmentation, lift, combined surgery and no surgery.
Manufacturer and product names belong to their owners and link to official information. No affiliation or authorized-provider status is implied.
Good to know.
How do I choose a size?
With 3D imaging and sizers at your consultation, so you see the proportion on your own frame before deciding.
How long do implants last?
Modern implants have no fixed expiry; we review them with you at regular check-ups.
Does a reduction help back pain?
Many clients report relief, and your surgeon discusses what is realistic for you at the consultation.
Questions worth bringing.
- What should an individual assessment clarify before I consider breast surgery?
- How will the surgeon assess my health, goals and suitability, including alternatives to surgery?
- Who provides anesthesia, where would surgery take place and how are complications and follow-up handled?
