BREAST AUGMENTATION SURGERY
*** Download our must read guide to breast implant surgery here. ***
Breast augmentation usually involves the insertion of an implant into the chest wall to enhance the size of the breasts. The majority of women who have breast implants have round implants, and our cost for round implants is £3499 which includes 5 years' cover against capsular contracture. So, most women who come to La Belle Forme for their breast implant surgery pay this price for the operation. Please note our price will rise for people who book their surgery from April onwards. We do not recommend, though, that you make a hasty decision about whether you want to have breast implant surgery, based on price alone.
We provide a comprehensive service to all the women who come and see us to consider breast implants. We don't push you into a decision, we offer you information from which you can make an informed decision. Our consultation fee of £100 covers you for as many consultations as you need to make sure you are completely ready to proceed with a life changing decision.
*** Having an implant? You need a bra. You don't need to have your surgery with us to buy a post surgical bra from us! ***
YOUR CHOICE
Breast implants are inserted into a pocket either below the breast tissue or below the pectoral muscle, or in some cases partially under each. Breast implants may be round or anatomically shaped; their surface may be smooth or textured; the contents may be silicone or saline, and there are advantages and disadvantages with each option.
Some breast implants are more expensive than others; if you are looking for state of the art breast implant surgery or simply the most cost effective solution and the best value for money, we can find a product to suit your needs. All of the breast implants we use come with a warranty of at least one year. For our £3499 package with Nagor Impleo implants the price includes a 5 year warranty from Nagor for capsular contracture and the Glasgow Nuffield Hospital through us. Only the Nagor Imleo implants have a 5 year aftercare package against capsular contraction with them. Other implants (eg the teardrop McGhan 410 implants) have different warranties and aftercare policies. Consultation fees are not included in this price, and each time you see the surgeon we ask for a fee. Our current fees and prices are listed at our prices page.

OUR WARRANTY
Our warranty for breast augmentation means that if you have grade III capsular contracture within 5 years and we can help try and solve that problem, you will not have to pay for that operation. We cover complications for one year as well. If we cannot solve the problem or if you are concerned about something that is going to happen again if we do another operation then we would not normally perform another operation. For example, we do cover capsular contracture, infections, blood clots, abnormal scarring, unexpected considerable asymmetry, wound problems and implant rupture. We do not cover things that always happen after breast implants, such as being able to feel the edge of the implant, nipple drooping, skin sagging, breast drooping, prominent veins, natural changes with time/ pregnancy/ weight changes, shape changes, and stretch marks. Further treatment for these conditions may be possible but there is a financial implication when having breast surgery. If you have a problem and we can try and fix it for you, we'll do our very best. However, some things cannot be fixed but we'll always be very happy to see you for a consultation and talk about the pros and cons of additional surgery. Please be aware that there are consultation fees with the plastic surgeon but not with the nurse. Sometimes we ask you to cover the costs of the implants themselves, if the manufacturers are unwilling to give us a free fresh set of implants. Lastly, the financial agreement is with the hospital and we ask them on your behalf to eliminate fees.
POST SURGICAL GARMENTS
You will need to wear a post surgical bra after surgery to make sure the implants are well supported. We usually recommend wearing a bra for 6 weeks after surgery, and we recommend the Caromed range of post surgical garments.
The Caromed range of garments come from the breast implant manufacturer Mentor. Caromed post surgical garments and bras can be purchased online in our web store at the clinic or be ordered by telephone.
