Breast enlargement, also known as breast augmentation or a boob job, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to increase breast size, improve shape, or restore volume. Patients choose breast enlargement for a variety of personal reasons. Some wish to enhance naturally small breasts, others seek to restore volume lost after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight loss, and some aim to improve breast symmetry. Whatever the motivation, breast enlargement is a highly individual decision that requires careful assessment and realistic expectations. 

Dundee Outpatient Centre provides personalised consultations, modern surgical facilities, and structured aftercare to support patients throughout every stage of their treatment journey, from initial enquiry to long-term results. 

What is a breast enlargement?

Breast enlargement is a surgical procedure that increases breast volume using implants. The aim is to enhance breast size, improve shape, and create a balanced appearance in proportion with the rest of the body. 

Implants are available in different sizes, shapes, and materials, allowing treatment to be tailored to individual goals and anatomy. During your consultation, your surgeon will help you understand the options available and how they may influence your final result. 

Breast enlargement focuses not only on size but also on achieving a natural-looking outcome that aligns with your body shape and lifestyle. 

How much does a breast enlargement cost at Dundee Outpatient Centre?

The cost of breast enlargement surgery at Dundee Outpatient Centre depends on several factors, including the type of implants used, the complexity of the procedure, and which consultant surgeon you choose. 

During your consultation, your surgeon will assess your needs and discuss suitable implant options and surgical approaches. You will then receive clear information about pricing, including what is included in your treatment plan. 

Costs typically reflect surgery, anaesthesia, hospital care, and follow-up appointments. Your initial consultation will be charged separately. Transparent pricing ensures you understand all aspects of your investment before proceeding. 

If you have questions about self-funding or insurance-related queries, the hospital team can provide further guidance. 

Is a breast enlargement safe? 

Breast enlargement is generally safe when performed by a qualified and experienced consultant surgeon in a regulated clinical setting. As with all surgical procedures, there are risks, including infection, scarring, changes in sensation, implant-related complications, or reactions to anaesthesia. 

At Dundee Outpatient Centre and King’s Park Hospital, patient safety is a priority. Thorough pre-operative assessments are carried out to ensure you are medically fit for surgery, and procedures follow strict clinical guidelines. 

Your surgeon will explain the potential risks and benefits clearly, allowing you to make an informed decision based on your individual circumstances. 

How long does breast enlargement surgery take? 

Breast enlargement surgery typically takes between one and two hours, depending on the surgical technique used and whether additional procedures are performed at the same time. 

The procedure is usually carried out under general anaesthetic. After surgery, you will be monitored by trained clinical staff to ensure a safe and comfortable recovery before returning home. 

Your surgeon will explain the expected length of your procedure and what to expect on the day of surgery during your consultation. 

What happens during breast enlargement surgery?

During breast enlargement surgery, the surgeon makes carefully planned incisions, often placed in discreet locations such as under the breast crease. The implant is then positioned either above or below the chest muscle, depending on your anatomy and desired outcome. 

Once the implants are in place, the incisions are closed and dressings are applied. A supportive surgical bra may be fitted to help reduce swelling and support healing. 

At Circle Health Group, procedures are carried out in modern operating theatres by experienced surgical teams, following high clinical standards. 

Recovery after breast enlargement surgery 

Recovery following breast enlargement varies between individuals, but most patients experience some swelling, bruising, and discomfort in the days after surgery. These symptoms usually improve gradually. 

You may be advised to avoid heavy lifting and strenuous exercise for several weeks. Many patients can return to work within one to two weeks, depending on the nature of their job. 

Follow-up appointments are arranged to monitor healing, assess results, and address any concerns. Clear aftercare guidance is provided to support a smooth recovery. 

What results can you expect from breast enlargement?

The results of breast enlargement are typically visible soon after surgery, although final results continue to improve as swelling settles and the implants settle into position. 

Patients often report increased confidence, improved body proportions, and greater satisfaction with their appearance. While breast implants are long-lasting, they are not considered lifetime devices, and future monitoring or replacement may be required. 

Your surgeon will discuss realistic outcomes and long-term considerations during your consultation. 

Who is suitable for breast enlargement? 

Breast enlargement may be suitable if you are physically healthy, have fully developed breasts, and have realistic expectations about what surgery can achieve. A consultation is essential to determine suitability and ensure the procedure aligns with your goals. 

Your surgeon will consider factors such as your anatomy, lifestyle, and medical history before recommending treatment. In some cases, alternative or additional procedures may be discussed.
