What is breast enlargement surgery? 

Breast enlargement surgery, or breast augmentation, also called a boob job, is a procedure that increases the size of your breasts and enhances the shape of your breasts using implants. It can also improve balance and symmetry where there are natural differences between breasts. 

Breast implants consist of an outer shell made of medical-grade silicone (a rubber-like material). This shell is filled with either a thick silicone gel or a sterile saltwater solution (known as saline). Some breast implants may feature a polyurethane coating for a firmer texture, but all use a silicone shell.  

Breast enlargement is not only about increasing the size of your breasts. It is also about creating proportion, restoring volume, and achieving a result that complements your body shape. 

Your consultant will carefully plan your procedure to ensure the outcome looks natural and feels comfortable. They will explain their surgery plan to you before the procedure, so you feel confident and informed ahead of surgery.  

What types of breast enlargement procedures are available?

Breast enlargement is tailored to your body and preferences. The main options include:

• Round implants, which create a fuller appearance 
• Teardrop implants, designed for a more natural contour 
• Revision breast enlargement, for patients who wish to change or replace existing implants 

Your surgeon will also discuss implant placement, including positioning above or below the chest muscle, to achieve the best result. 

How much does breast enlargement cost at Werndale Hospital, Carmarthen?

The cost of breast enlargement surgery depends on the type of implants used, the complexity of your procedure and your individual care needs. 

You can choose to fund your treatment through self-pay (paying for yourself) or use private health insurance. We work with most major providers, and our friendly advisory team can help guide you through using your cover. 

Our flexible payment options help you spread the cost of your payment across a time period that suits you. We offer fixed-term monthly payment plans over one to five years with no deposit required. If you decide to pay over 10 months, you will pay interest-free. If you are paying for a longer period, you will pay 9.9% APR. 

What happens during breast enlargement surgery? 

Breast enlargement surgery is performed under general anaesthetic in a fully equipped operating theatre. It typically takes one to two hours to perform.  

Your consultant will start by making a carefully planned incision. This is usually placed under the breast fold, around the areola, or in the armpit, depending on your anatomy and the surgical approach agreed during your consultation. The position of the incision is chosen to minimise visible scarring while allowing precise placement of the implant. 

A pocket is then created either behind the breast tissue or beneath the chest muscle. The choice of placement of the implant depends on factors such as your body shape, the amount of natural breast tissue, and the type of implant being used. This step is key to achieving a natural look, good symmetry and long-term support. 

Once the pocket has been prepared, your breast implant is carefully inserted and positioned. Your consultant will check the alignment, shape, and balance to ensure the results meet your expectations and complement your body proportions. 

After the implants are in place, the incisions are closed using fine sutures to support neat healing. Dressings are applied, and you will usually be fitted with a supportive surgical bra to help reduce any swelling during recovery. 

Following surgery, you will be monitored closely by your healthcare team in recovery before returning to your private room.  

Will breast implants affect breastfeeding?

In many cases, breast enlargement surgery does not prevent you from breastfeeding in the future. Most women are still able to breastfeed successfully after having breast implants, particularly when the procedure is carefully planned. 

The ability to breastfeed depends on several factors, including the surgical technique used and the placement of the implants. Incisions made under the breast fold or in the armpit are less likely to affect milk ducts and nerves compared to those made around the areola. Similarly, placing implants beneath the chest muscle can help preserve normal breast function. 

During your consultation, your consultant will discuss your future, including whether you may want to breastfeed. This allows your procedure to be planned in a way that supports both your aesthetic goals and long-term personal goals. 

What is recovery like after breast enlargement?

Recovery is gradual and varies depending on your individual healing process. In the first few days, you will experience swelling, tightness and discomfort across your breasts, which can be managed with pain relief. 

Most people return to light daily activities within a week and desk-based work within one to two weeks. 

You will need to avoid strenuous activity, heavy lifting and exercise for several weeks as your body recovers. 

Wearing a supportive surgical bra is an important part of your recovery process, helping reduce swelling and support healing. Your consultant will provide clear, personalised guidance and follow-up appointments to monitor your progress. 

Breast enlargement FAQs

Below are answers to some of your most asked questions about breast enlargement. 

How can breast enlargement improve your confidence and comfort? 

For many women, breast enlargement is not just about physical change, but about how you feel in your own body. Changes caused by pregnancy, weight loss, or ageing, can affect your breast shape and volume, which may impact your confidence and how comfortable you feel day to day. 

Breast enlargement can help restore balance and proportion, allowing your body shape to feel more aligned with how you see yourself.  

Your confidence often improves gradually after surgery as you become more familiar with your new shape. Feeling comfortable in your appearance can have a positive impact on different areas of life, including social situations, work, and your overall emotional wellbeing. 

It is important to approach surgery with realistic expectations. Breast enlargement is not about perfection, but about helping you feel more confident and at ease in your body.  

How long do breast implants last? 

Breast implants are designed to be long-lasting, but they are not considered lifetime devices. Many implants last for many years without issues, but you may need revision surgery in the future. 

Your consultant will explain what to expect and when follow-up or revision surgery may be recommended.  

Regular monitoring helps ensure your implants remain safe and continue to achieve your desired result. 

Is breast enlargement surgery safe?

Breast enlargement surgery is generally very safe when performed by an experienced consultant surgeon in a regulated hospital setting. As with any surgical procedure, there are risks, including infection, bleeding and implant-related complications. 

At Werndale Hospital, thorough pre-operative assessments are carried out to ensure you are suitable for surgery.  

Your surgeon will explain all risks and benefits clearly so you can make an informed decision. 

How do you choose the right breast size and shape? 

Choosing the right implant size and shape is a key part of your treatment. Your surgeon will guide you through this process, considering your body proportions, skin quality and desired outcome. 

The aim is to achieve a result that enhances your figure while maintaining balance and comfort.  

A detailed and in-depth consultation with your consultant helps ensure your expectations are realistic and aligned with what can be achieved. 

What results can I expect from breast enlargement? 

Breast enlargement can enhance your body shape, improve symmetry and restore lost volume. Many patients also experience increased confidence and feel more comfortable in their clothing. 

Results are long-lasting, particularly when supported by a stable weight and healthy lifestyle. Your surgeon will explain what you can realistically expect and how to maintain your results over time.
