Breast augmentation or enlargement is now one of the most widely performed and most successful cosmetic surgery procedures available in the U.K. There are currently two types of implant available in the UK; a silicone gel implant and a saline filled implant that is usually placed inside the breast before being filled with salt water. Implants also come in many different shapes and sizes allowing you more choice. Breast augmentation can be performed under a general anaesthetic, although some surgeons use a local anaesthetic, combined with a sedative to make you drowsy, so that you remain awake but feel very little discomfort during the operation. A short incision can be made either in the crease under the breast, around the areola (nipple area) or in the armpit in order to insert the implant. Implants can be positioned either between the breast tissue and the pectoral muscle (sub-glandular) or behind the muscle (sub-muscular). Most people find that they can return to work after a few days recuperation. Private costs for breast implants can range from approximately £3,000 - £5,000.

"My breast augmentation surgery by Mr Ross
I was lucky enough to get a personal recommendation to see Mr Ross by a former boss. Arranging the consultation was seamless with Karen and Roz being ever so helpful and working around not only Mr Ross’s schedule but my own too. Prior to seeing Mr Ross, I had seen over 6 different surgeons over the last 4 years to whom I never was happy, so I continued to look. At the first initial consultation in July 2019, I just knew Mr Ross was the surgeon for me. He is honestly such a delightful, honest man. As you can imagine getting plastic surgery with the heavy price tags, all the consultants I had seen previously were pushy and not really informative and honestly just wanted the money… That was not Mr Ross at all!!! He sat down with me and my partner in our first initial consultation and asked me what my I wanted and then explained all the pros and cons of having surgery if I were to go ahead. He then explained MY choice of how I wanted to implant to sit, what site to insert them in, what types of implants there are and so on. During the whole consultation, I was able to ask as many questions as I wanted and not being cut short due to only having a certain amount of time.
After the consultation was over, he mentioned if I wished to go ahead with surgery that I should meet his nurse Christine who will help me choose a perfect implant size for me. I quickly followed up in a week or so time to see Christine who was a delight! She sat me down and explained that she would be looking after me post-operatively in the hospital as well as outpatient appointments following the surgery. Once the implant was picked, I was booked in to see Mr Ross for the final consultation prior to surgery which he discussed and confirmed my choices of implants. I also had a few silly questions as we all do which he answered too. This is when I knew Mr Ross was the surgeon for me. I had booked the surgery for Feb 2020 and was over the moon. His practice manager would get in contact with me closer to the time to confirm dates, times and all that jazz.
I was unbelievably happy with the services at Mr Ross’s practice from his nurse Christine to his practice manager and PA (Roz and Karen).
The day of surgery:
We opted for the London Clinic to have the procedure undertaken. The surgery was done first thing in the morning which is a big tick! Seamlessly checked into the London Clinic who were fabulous from the start to end of my stay. I firstly had all the obs checked with the nurses and then met the anaesthetist (Dr Andrew Morley) who was amazing! As this was my first time under GA, I was very nervous, but he answered all my questions and reassured me. Shortly after that, I met Mr Ross and his assistant who would be undertaking the surgery. Once again, Mr Ross was reassuring as ever which calmed my nerves down. Shortly after, I was taken down to surgery and then I was awake and back in bed! This is where the care of the London Clinic staff was fantastic. I was up and moving around at least 2 hours after surgery and in no pain whatsoever… of course just a bit of discomfort. Later that day, Mr Ross returned to check up on me that evening which all looked well. One uncomfortable night down.. not for me but for my partner… I was ready to go home the next day. I was met by Christine, Mr Ross’ nurse who checked up on the wounds as well as Mr Ross’ assistant to give the go ahead for me to be discharged. Christine mentioned I would see her every week for a couple of weeks to change and check the dressing sites. I was in regular contact with Christine and Mr Ross’ office for the first couple of weeks to check how I was recovering.
I have now reached my 3-month marker after surgery and I have had no issues whatsoever and personally, Mr Ross is an artist! I couldn’t be happier with the results and I really couldn’t thank him and his team enough for the ongoing supporting before, during and after surgery. I highly highly highly recommend Mr Ross and I have already recommended him to several friends and family who will keep him busy in the foreseeable future.
A big thanks to Mr Ross and of course his dream team!

"So pleased with the results from my breast enlargement procedure. Would highly recommend!"
Rebecca Harding
"I had a breast enlargement with Mr Payne a number of years ago. Working in the industry myself it was not easy for me to choose a surgeon but Michael has always put me at ease with his realistic and honest approach. Even years on and after breast feeding 3 children I am still immensely happy with the results and will definitely be returning to him when I need my implants replaced. You are in very safe hands with Mr Michael Payne!!"
