Breast Augmentation, sometimes also known as a 'boob job' is an operation to enlarge, lift or reduce the size of your breasts, all of these procedures can be carried out by our specialist plastic surgeons at The Edinburgh Clinic conveniently based on Colinton Road.

Our most popular procedure, breast augmentation, is an operation to increase the size of your breasts.  The most common way to do this is by using silicone implants; your surgeon will assess you and let you know if a breast augmentation is suitable for you. 

You will most likely benefit from a breast augmentation if:

• you are self-conscious about the size of your breasts
• your breasts have become smaller and less shapely because of pregnancy or from losing weight 
• you have one breast notably smaller than the other (asymmetry) 

As part of your consultation, your surgeon will carry out a detailed examination and recommend if surgery and potentially what size of implants would be suitable for you.

Following your breast augmentation, your breasts should be larger and have a better shape. Most women report that they feel more confident in themselves and the clothes that they wear.
