Bilateral Breast Augmentation
“I feel much more confident, and I am fitting better into my clothes now I feel symmetrical. My original bra size was 32C/D and I am now a balanced 32 E cup.”

Right Mentor THPX 325 cc Left Mentor THPX 425 cc
KV, age 26, Exeter, Devon
This 26 year old patient underwent bilateral breast augmentation using round high profile sub glandular implants. However because there was some difference in the breast volume a larger implant was used on the smaller side. This can be a useful technique to adjust the breast volume where the breasts are slightly different sizes. The results shown are six weeks following surgery.

“I found the recovery was quite quick and easy and I’m very happy with the end results.”
Bilateral Breast Augmentation using anatomical sub glandular 375 cc Mentor CPG implants
BL, Age 30, Exeter, Devon
This 30-year-old patient underwent a sub glandular placement of her 375 mls tear-dropped or anatomical shaped implants to improve her overall breast shape and increase the volume. With a sub glandular placement of the implant the recovery can be slightly quicker as less muscle is damaged and it can also be less uncomfortable.
A sub glandular placement avoids damaging any of the pectoral muscles which can be useful particularly with exercise. However there is a risk of rotation with a teardrop shaped implant of approximately 5 to 10% after three years but this is not always symptomatic or noticeable. However the potential for further surgery and cost in the future if there is a problem with the orientation of this type of implant needs to be considered when deciding which type of breast augmentation you would like.
Two stage breast augmentation and mastopexy
First stage mastopexy followed by breast augmentation using round high profile Mentor 325 mls sub-glandular implants (THPX 325)
BN, Age 32, Exeter, Devon
This 32 year old patient underwent an augmentation mastopexy using my preferred two stage approach. Initially the mastopexy is undertaken and then after 6 to 12 months ideally (but sometimes this can be a little sooner) a sub-glandular breast augmentation is performed.
A two stage operation allows for a much more accurate implant selection as this is based on the elevated breast dimensions. it also allows the patient to decide whether they wish to undergo the augmentation after they have seen the results of the uplift and how a large an implant they would like. I consider this to be much safer than a one stage operation which can compromise skin and nipple blood supply because the skin is elevated from the breast and then the breast is lifted up either under the gland or under the muscle to place the implant.
This two-stage approach allows time for the mastopexy wounds to all heal before putting the scars under pressure with the implant. The photographs show before the mastopexy and then the intermediate results before the breast augmentation.

Bilateral breast augmentation using 455 mls Sub-glandular high profile round implants
NY, Age 39, Torquay, Devon
This patient underwent a bilateral breast augmentation using a Mentor Xtra cohesive gel round high profile implants- THPX 455.
The results shown are at six weeks after surgery. A round high profile implant produces more projection in the upper part of the breast but it is important to bear in mind how much soft tissue coverage there is so that the edge of the implant so is not palpable or visible, especially in very slim patients with small breasts before surgery. This patient is ideally suited to a sub-glandular position as this avoids damaging any of the pectoral muscle which can be important, particularly for sporting activities and upper body strength.
Bilateral Breast Augmentation
“I am absolutely thrilled with the results of surgery as I had very little breast tissue beforehand. After surgery I had some heaviness in the chest but very little pain. Because I am quite tall at 5’9’’ I’m pleased I went for the slightly larger implant choice of 455.”
Bilateral breast augmentation using the Dual plane submuscular technique. Mentor THPX 455 Round high profile implants.
LI, Age 27, Torquay, Devon
This patient underwent bilateral breast augmentation using the dual plane or sub-muscular technique because of the relatively thin upper breast volume. The results here are shown at six weeks, as is the scar used to insert the implant. When using this technique because the edge of the muscle limits how close together the implants can sit together in the midline cleavage area, if there is a relatively wider distance between the breasts then this will look similar after surgery. It is important not to release too much muscle when inserting the implant as this can also be unsightly leading to visible changes within the medial edge of the breast breast when the muscle moves in day-to-day activities.
With a dual plane technique the upper part of the implant lies under the petrol muscle, which helps disguise the upper edge of the implant but still allows fullness in the upper breast, and the lower part of the implant sits under the breast gland where there is usually enough soft tissue to cover the implant.
Bilateral Breast Augmentation
“I am really pleased with them they have given me much more confidence.”
Bilateral breast augmentation using Nagor GC Aesthetics XF3-515 sub glandular breast implants
BK, Age 35, Exeter, Devon
This 35 year old patient underwent a bilateral breast augmentation using a teardrop or anatomical shaped implant of 515 mils. The result shown are at one year following surgery.
Teardrop shaped breast implants can give the breast a very natural look, with less volume in the upper part of the breast to achieves this natural appearance and puts more volume behind the areola which can help lift the breast and nipple particularly if the breast is a little droopy.
The risk with these implants is there is a chance that they may rotate in the years to come, and this may require further surgery and cost to correct. If this happens generally replacing with a round implant is the safest and simplest option to correct this. However the risk of this happening should be less than 5 -10% at three years.

“Overall I feel really good and it has given me a massive confidence boost.”

Bilateral Breast Augmentation using Sub-glandular Mentor high profile round implants. THPX 365 cc
BY, Age 36, Devon
This patient underwent bilateral breast augmentation using a high profile Mentor round implant placed on top of the pectoral muscle ie. in the sub-glandular position. As you can see from the pre-operative photographs there is a degree of breast asymmetry and this has been corrected to some extent by the implant. This is mainly due to different amounts of skin in each breast although the volume is similar. It is much less noticeable with a larger breast volume after augmentation.
Breast implants can be used to try and correct breast and chest wall asymmetry and as part of your consultation I will review which might be the best size shape and profile of implant to achieve the most symmetrical result. This also depends on your aesthetic goals from surgery. The choice of implant can vary significantly from patient to patient and there are many different sizes and shapes or profiles to suit different patient’s needs.
These results are shown six weeks following surgery.
Bilateral Breast Augmentation
“Everything went very smoothly I am really happy with the results.”
Bilateral breast augmentation using 255cc sub-muscular “Dual plane” high profile round implants (Mentor THPX 255)
MN, Age 22, Devon
This patient underwent bilateral breast augmentation in a sub-muscular position to reduce the impact of the upper pole of the implant by placing it under the muscle. Using this technique the upper part of the implant is covered by the muscle and the lower half of the implant by the glandular breast tissue which is generally thicker in the lower half of the breast. The aim is to give a full round shape without a sharp demarcation between the implant and the chest wall that can be associated with those sub-glandular placement particularly in a slim patient. The results are shown at six weeks following surgery.
Bilateral Breast Augmentation
“I think these are the biggest I could have gone with in the sub-glandular position to achieve this result.”
Bilateral breast augmentation sub-glandular high profile mentor 325cc implants. Mentor THPX 325
HL, Age 36, Crediton, Devon
This 36 year-old patient underwent bilateral breast augmentation using high profile textured Mentor silicone implants. The advantages of placing the implant on top of the muscle is that it avoids any muscle damage and this is the normal anatomical position for the breast. Sometimes however the muscle will be used to cover the upper part of the implant particularly if there isn’t enough breast and subcutaneous tissue on the chest wall. Although more complicated and therefore expensive it is also possible to increase the amount of fat on the chest wall by performing some lipofilling or fat transfer which can also help disguise the upper pole of the implant in slim patients who don’t wish to have a sub-muscular (dual plane) augmentation.
The results shown are six weeks following surgery.
Bilateral Breast Augmentation
“The recovery was quick, and I now feel much more confident as I can now wear tighter clothing. I’m very pleased with the overall result.”
Bilateral Breast Augmentation 405 cc Nagor XF3-405 anatomical Sub-glandular
DE, Age 36, Exeter, Devon
This lady underwent bilateral breast augmentation using a tear-drop shaped or anatomical implants These anatomical implants have been placed in a sub-glandular position ie. they have been placed under the gland of the breast on top of the muscle to avoid damaging any of the pectoral (chest) muscle.
The result shown are at two months after surgery.
This patient also has a degree of tuberous breast appearance which means that the breast has a narrow base and during the procedure this was released to try and allow the lower pole of the implant to expand and increase the distance between the nipple on the inframammary fold (fold under the breast). There is a small risk of rotation with a teardrop shaped implant, but this can achieve a much more natural appearance of the breast particularly in the upper pole and this puts more projection directly behind the nipple rather than higher up in the breast as with a round implant.

Dual Plane Breast Augmentation Mentor Memory Gel Xtra THPX 455
This patient underwent bilateral breast augmentation using 455CC implants she has gone from a bra size of 34 B cup to a bra size of 36 DD. Dual plane breast augmentation places the upper part of the implant under the muscle and the lower half behind the gland. It is a useful technique when the breast tissue is quite thin in the upper part of the breast. The results are shown at 6 weeks after surgery.
Bilateral Breast Augmentation using anatomical or tear dropped shaped implants
“I really wanted a natural look which I have got. It was absolutely worth doing.”
ET, Age 31, Brixham, Devon
Bilateral Breast Augmentation using anatomical or tear dropped shaped implants
Bilateral Breast Augmentation with anatomical (tear dropped shape) implants 320 cc Nagor implants in a sub-glandular position, ie on top of the muscle. Even in slim patients a sub-glandular implant position can look very natural and I consider the risk of rotation to be less when the implant is placed on top of the muscle. Implant rotation can be associated with further surgery and further cost in the future and this needs to be considered when selecting a tear dropped or anatomical shaped implant. This type of implant has slightly more projection than a round implant of the same volume and the projection is in the lower part of the breast behind the nipple to give the breast a more natural appearance compared to a round implant. There is no damage to the pectoral (chest) muscle so upper body strength is not affected and it is a slightly less painful procedure too.
Bilateral Breast Augmentation using 405 cc sub-glandular (on top of the muscle) Nagor implants
“I had very little discomfort after the operation and I feel much more confident.”
TI, Age 31, Newton Abbot, Devon
Bilateral Breast Augmentation using 405 cc sub-glandular (on top of the muscle) Nagor implants
After having two children this 31 year old patient underwent bilateral breast augmentation with 405 cc sub-glandular (on top of the muscle) Nagor implants. Nagor XF3 405. Tear drop shaped or anatomical implants can help with lifting the lower breast and nipple into a more natural shape without the need for as large an implant as would be needed using a round implant. There is a risk of rotation with a tear drop shaped implant but I think that this is reduced when placing the implant on top of the muscle which can achieve a very natural breast shape. It is usually less painful and a quicker recovery with sub-glandular implants as there is no need to divide any of the pectoral (chest) muscles during the procedure and the implant sits just behind the natural breast tissue.
Bilateral Breast Augmentation using 300 cc Nagor anatomical implants in a dual plane position
“I found the whole procedure much less of an ordeal than I was expecting. I am so happy with the outcome.”
MT, Age 24, South Devon
Bilateral Breast Augmentation using 300 cc Nagor anatomical implants in a dual plane position.
This patient underwent bilateral breast augmentation. Her aesthetic goal was to have a natural breast shape without too much projection in the upper part of the breast. A Nagor Co Gel anatomical, or tear dropped shaped, implant was selected with moderate height and high projection with 300cc volume to achieve a natural breast shape. This was placed in a sub-pectoral pocket ie. under the muscle, using a dual plane technique. This means that the slope up from the nipple to the top of the breast is a natural flat slope without the overly full appearance that is sometimes a feature of round implants. Anatomical shaped implants come in a wide range of styles and selecting the correct implant depends on accurately measuring the breast dimensions before surgery to select the style and size to achieve the best aesthetic result. The height, width, projection and volume of the implant can all be selected individually to try and achieve this result. Your surgeon should explain this process to you at your consultation.

Bilateral Breast Augmentation. Nagor Impleo 300 cc dual plane sub-muscular implant.
This lady underwent a dual plane breast augmentation using a high profile round 300 cc Nagor implant. This means that the upper part of the implant sits under the pectoral muscle. The results seen are at 6 weeks. She now wears a 34D cup bra compared to 34 A cup before the operation.
Bilateral Breast Augmentation. 405 cc anatomical (teardrop shaped) implants
“The whole experience was really good.”
TC, Age 32, Torquay
Bilateral Breast Augmentation. 405 cc anatomical (teardrop shaped) implants.
This patients underwent bilateral breast augmentation using an anatomical or tear drop shaped 405 cc full height extra full projection implant (Nagor CoGel XF3 405) . The pre-operative photographs show the nipple lying quite low at the level of the infra-mammary fold after pregnancies. She did not want a mastopexy or breast up-lift which was discussed as an option. This type of implant can be useful to gain the maximum projection lower down in the breast at the level of the nipple and can give a more natural result. This is because there is less projection in the upper part of the breast compared to a round implant.
One of the disadvantages of this type of shaped implant is that there is a risk of rotation of the implant in the future of up to 25% according to the latest studies. However not all of these patients will notice the rotation but about 10% may need further surgery or replacement of the implant if rotation occurs. If a mastopexy is required it is generally better to do this as the first procedure before the augmentation. Sometimes a tear dropped shaped implant can also give a more natural result when placed on top of the muscle. This patient has a sub-muscular dual plane implant and the results shown are at 6 weeks.

“I am really pleased with the results. I just took paracetamol for pain relief.”
SM, Age 29, Torbay, Devon
This patient underwent breast augmentation using a round Nagor implant of 330 cc. The implant has been placed under the muscle to create a more natural upper pole of the breast, with a high profile implant to keep the breast base within the anatomical boundaries of the breast. The scars in the fold under the breast are shown at 4 weeks post op. These can now be expected to fade further over the next 6 to 12 months. The implant was placed in the breast pocket using a Keller funnel with antibiotic wash to reduce the risk of bacterial contamination which can lead to capsule contracture in the future.

Bilateral Breast Augmentation Dual Plane, 300cc right 270 cc left
This patient underwent bilateral breast augmentation using a dual plane technique so the upper part of the implant sits under the muscle to give a natural upper pole whilst still using a round implant. As there was slight breast asymmetry before surgery a slightly larger implant has been used on the smaller right side to even out the volume. Results are shown at 6 weeks.

MD, Age 23, Torquay, Devon, Bilateral Breast Augmentation
Sub-glandular breast implants using Mentor high profile Xtra implant THPX 285. Placing implants in a sub-glandular position can often be less painful and avoids cutting any muscle so the power in the chest muscle is unaffected. Recovery is often a little quicker too. There does however need to be enough natural breast tissue to cover the upper pole of the implant if it isn’t going to be too obviously an augmented breast after surgery.

“I feel more confident in clothing now I have a proportionate size and I feel more normal.”
DR, Age 28, Exeter, Devon
Two stage Mastopexy (Breast Uplift) & Breast Augmentation.
This patient underwent a mastopexy initially to reduce the breast skin envelope and then as a second operation, 3 months later, of breast augmentation using different size implants. A Nagor Impleo 270cc implant was used on the right and 210 cc implant on the slightly larger left side to even out the difference in breast volume. The scars can now be expected to settle further over the next 12 months. This procedure is usually best performed in two operations to reduce the risk of complications and to achieve a better result overall.

Two stage Mastopexy & Breast Augmentation. Nagor Impleo IMP HR 210 cc breast implant
This patient initially had a mastopexy or breast uplift and then 3 months later had a modest round 210 cc breasts implant.
This procedure is best undertaken as a two stage operation. This is safer with regard to preserving the breast and nipple blood supply and allows more accurate implant selection. Some patients may be happy with the uplift only and defer the option of a breast implant for some time in the future.
