Planning your surgery

In your initial consultation, it's important to discuss your expectations frankly with me.

I will examine your breasts and measure them while you're sitting or standing. We can discuss the variables that may affect the procedure - such as your age, the size and shape of your breasts, and the condition of your skin - and whether an implant is advisable. You should also discuss where the nipple and areola will be positioned; they'll be moved higher during the procedure, and should be approximately even with the crease beneath the breast.

If you become pregnant after the operation, your ability to breast-feed should not be affected , since your milk ducts and nipples will be left intact.

I will describe procedure in detail, explaining its risks and limitations and making sure you understand the scarring that will result.

Don't hesitate to ask me any questions you may have, especially those regarding your expectations and concerns about the results.
