• How long does breast enlargement surgery take?

  Breast enlargement surgery normally takes between one and two hours under general anaesthetic.

• How long will I have to stay in hospital?

  You may be able to return home the same day, but many of our patients require an overnight stay in one of our hospitals. We’ll discuss what we think is best with you before we book your surgery.

• How long will my implants last?

  Breast implants are not designed to last forever, but they don’t have a specific lifespan. Most surgeons say it’s wise to have your implants replaced between 10 to 20 years after the original procedure. Even if you haven’t experienced any problems with them, we recommend getting your implants checked over by a surgeon around 10 years after your surgery to make sure everything’s still okay.
