Breast augmentation surgery is more commonly known as a 'boob job' or 'breast enlargement', and it is one of the most popular cosmetic surgery procedures in Cardiff. Cosmetic surgeons understand that women who undergo breast augmentation surgery want to feel confident and beautiful inside and out. Hence, they provide different types of breast surgeries that can enhance the proportion, shape, and size of your breasts. Breast surgery is not merely for enlarging breasts. A procedure can be tailored to restore the shape and firmness after pregnancy.

Before you sign up for any breast augmentation surgery in Cardiff, you need to make sure that you have a one-on-one pre-surgery consultation with a qualified cosmetic surgeon. This way, the surgeon can tell you more about the procedure and answer any questions you might have about it. This is a good time to learn about implants, too. Reputable cosmetic surgeons offer Allergan Natrelle and Polytech implants—both of which are backed by numerous guarantees—so you can be confident with their quality and the results they provide.

A plastic surgeon may recommend a mammogram before the procedure, and another mammogram several months after the surgery to detect any changes in the breast tissue. If you smoke, you may have to stop smoking before and after surgery. Surgeons recommend not taking certain anti-inflammatory medications and aspirin to prevent increased bleeding.

Breast augmentation surgery is performed under general anaesthesia for about an hour, and it may require a night's stay at the hospital. Often times, the procedure is performed on an outpatient basis, so be sure to arrange for someone to be with you after the surgery. Temporary numbness, swelling, and bruising are among the common risks, but your surgeon should be able to provide you with medication and tips to minimise or eliminate those issues. You must follow doctor's orders to prevent severe problems like implant rupture, capsular contraction, bleeding, poor scarring, and infections.

Your breasts may look and feel firm and swollen after the procedure, but they will soften over the next few weeks and occasionally firm up once more before softening. A support bra will be provided, and you have to wear that for at least three months. Some surgeons may ask you to wear a supportive elasticised binder or strap for a week or up to 14 days after surgery to minimise swelling. Soft micropore tape, skin glue, and dissolving sutures can help achieve proper scar healing.
