Breasts

Surgery to the breasts can play a major role in improving personal confidence. The commonest procedures performed by Mr Uppal are augmentation, breast reduction, breast uplift and breast reconstruction.

Although the actual size of breasts is genetically determined, breasts may fluctuate in size in response to changes in weight, pregnancy and breast feeding. The ageing process causes the shape of the breast to change so that they may droop. This effect is greater following pregnancy, breast feeding and in particular after a large weight loss. Most women have one breast that is slightly different from the other. Sometimes the passage of time may accentuate this difference further.

Mr Uppal will discuss your particular wishes and requirements and offer you surgery to give your breasts a more youthful and firm appearance. Breast uplift surgery is carried out under a general anaesthetic and you will usually need to stay in hospital for a day. Some women feel however that their breasts are out of proportion with the rest of their body making it difficult to find clothes that fit or take part in sport. Large breasts can also cause back pain and postural problems. A breast reduction operation may help.

All operations carry risks as well as benefits which Mr Uppal will discuss with you in detail.
