Breast Enlargement
Enhance shape, restore balance, and feel more confident again.
Is Breast Shape or Volume Holding Your Confidence Back?
Many women choose breast enlargement when their natural breast size doesn’t reflect how they feel inside.
Whether it's due to genetics, weight change, pregnancy, or personal preference, the goal isn’t perfection. It’s about proportion, comfort, and confidence.
Breast enlargement uses implants to increase size, restore volume, or improve symmetry. With consultant-led planning, the result is balanced, natural, and tailored entirely to you.
Who We Often Help
We help a wide range of women who feel that their breast shape or size no longer reflects how they want to look or feel.
1
Women with naturally small or underdeveloped breasts
2
Women with breast volume loss after pregnancy or breastfeeding
3
Patients seeking to balance asymmetry or correct previous surgery
Key detail: These are just a few examples of the patients we see. Many patients simply want to feel natural in their clothing, not “augmented.”
What Happens at a Breast Enlargement Consultation?
Consultation
Your consultation is led personally by Mr Ollie Bassett at Tees Valley Hospital. You’ll discuss your goals, lifestyle, and concerns openly, in a calm and respectful space.
We’ll review your health and assess your anatomy, including skin quality, breast position, chest width, and natural symmetry.
You’ll also be guided through implant choices (size, shape, profile), placement options (above or below the muscle), and what’s realistic for your frame. No pushy recommendations, just honest, tailored advice.
Questions
You’ll have plenty of time to ask about sizing, implant feel, recovery timelines, and how results may change over time.
Many women also ask about scarring, sensation, revision options, or returning to exercise. No topic is too small.
- Some common questions include:
- Will they look natural on my frame?
- What happens if I lose weight later on?
- Can I still have mammograms?
The goal is clarity — not pressure. Whether you bring a friend, partner, or come alone, this is your safe space to be heard and supported.

What Will We Talk About in Terms of Recovery, Scarring and Results?
We’ll discuss what to expect in the days and weeks after surgery, including how to manage discomfort, when it’s safe to move, and how soon you can return to work, driving, and exercise.
You’ll be shown exactly where the scar will sit (usually hidden in the natural breast fold), and we’ll guide you on supportive bras, sleeping positions, and what to avoid during healing.
We also welcome questions like:
- Will the implants feel heavy at first?
- How long until I can lift my children again?
- What do scars look like after a year?
- When will my results look natural?
You’ll leave with personalised aftercare instructions and follow-up appointments already planned — so you’re never left wondering what comes next.
A Tailored Approach: Not a One-Size-Fits-All Surgery
Always Bespoke
Your frame, preferences, and goals guide every part of the plan.
We don’t use templated sizing or package deals, we listen, measure, and design around you.
We’ll help you visualise your outcome and choose an implant style that complements your shape and lifestyle.
There’s no “right” choice — only what feels right for you. We’ll take time to understand your vision, answer every question, and guide you toward options that feel both beautiful and believable on your body.
Example Options
Each choice is explained clearly, with visual aids if helpful.
- Implant sizes – chosen to match your anatomy and goals
- Implant shape – round or anatomical (teardrop), depending on preference
- Implant profile – low, moderate, or high projection
- Placement – above or below the muscle, or dual plane
- Incision location – typically within the fold under the breast for discreet scarring
Thinking About Cost?
We believe this decision should be guided by trust and planning, not just price. At consultation, you’ll receive a personalised cost breakdown, with full clarity and no pressure.
