How to Choose the Right Breast Implant SizeHow to Choose the Right Breast Implant Size

Breast implant size is not simply about cup size. During your consultation, Dr Theo considers your height, chest width, existing breast tissue, skin quality, lifestyle and long-term goals. The aim is to recommend an implant that creates balanced, natural-looking proportions rather than following trends. Implant sizing also includes choosing the profile and projection that best suit your anatomy. A personalised approach helps achieve results that look and feel appropriate for your body.

Do I Need a Breast Lift or Breast Implants?Do I Need a Breast Lift or Breast Implants?

Many women believe implants alone will restore breast shape after pregnancy or weight loss. In some cases, a breast lift offers the best improvement because it reshapes and raises the breast. Some patients benefit from implants, while others achieve excellent results with a lift alone or a combination of both. A detailed examination helps determine the most suitable option.

Dr Theo performs a careful assessment, explains suitable procedures, outlines benefits and potential risks, and answers your questions. You will receive honest advice and realistic expectations so you can make an informed decision without pressure.

Breast Implant Recovery: What to ExpectBreast Implant Recovery: What to Expect

Recovery varies between patients, but most people return to light daily activities within one to two weeks. Swelling, tightness and mild discomfort are common during the early stages. Following your aftercare instructions, attending follow-up appointments and allowing your body time to heal all contribute to a smooth recovery.

How Long Do Breast Implants Last?How Long Do Breast Implants Last?

Modern breast implants are durable, but they are not considered lifetime devices. Many patients enjoy their implants for many years without problems. Routine replacement is not always necessary. Regular follow-up allows your surgeon to monitor implant integrity and discuss any changes or concerns.

Capsular Contracture ExplainedCapsular Contracture Explained

Capsular contracture occurs when the natural scar tissue around an implant tightens. Mild cases may cause little change, while more severe cases can affect comfort or breast shape. Treatment depends on the severity and may include observation or revision surgery. Early assessment helps identify the most appropriate option.

Can You Breastfeed After Breast Surgery?Can You Breastfeed After Breast Surgery?

Many women can breastfeed after breast augmentation or breast lift surgery, although no surgeon can guarantee future breastfeeding ability. The likelihood depends on the type of procedure, surgical technique and individual anatomy. If future pregnancy or breastfeeding is important to you, please discuss this during your consultation.

How to Choose a Plastic SurgeonHow to Choose a Plastic Surgeon

Choosing a plastic surgeon involves more than comparing before-and-after photographs. Look for recognised training, relevant experience, transparent communication and a surgeon who explains both benefits and risks. A consultation should leave you feeling informed, respected and confident in your decision.

Understanding Breast Lift ScarsUnderstanding Breast Lift Scars

Every breast lift leaves scars because skin must be removed to reshape the breast. Dr Theo plans incisions carefully to achieve the best possible balance between breast shape and scar placement. Scars usually fade over time, although the final appearance varies between individuals.

Preparing for Cosmetic SurgeryPreparing for Cosmetic Surgery

Preparation begins well before the day of surgery. Maintaining good health, stopping smoking if applicable, arranging support at home and following pre-operative instructions all contribute to a safer procedure and smoother recovery. Your surgeon will provide personalised guidance based on your treatment plan.
