About Breast Augmentation in Manchester

When it comes to breast augmentation surgery, a positive outcome depends on a few things: if the patient’s expectations are met, the symmetry of the chest wall, the shape and consistency of the operative breast, and the position of the breast on the chest wall. Lastly, how much volume is being added to the breast is important as well. Dr Frati understands and utilizes all these points to ensure a successful outcome.

Before silicone implants were created, women who wanted breast augmentations had to endure a variety of methods with high risks and complications. These included injections of glycerine, autologous fat, ox cartilage, silicone oil, and even snake venom! ^[1] Today, women can enjoy a safe procedure when performed by a board-certified surgeon – and many do! Breast augmentation is the most popular cosmetic procedure in the UK. ^[2]

There are many different reasons why women choose breast augmentation surgery:

But before making a decision about this popular surgical procedure, it’s important to understand what to expect and what this change will mean for your life. At Harley Surgery, we are happy to discuss anything that comes to mind around your surgery. Give us a call and while you’re on the phone we can schedule your consultation with Dr Frati.

Another benefit many women experience after surgery with Dr Frati is skyrocketing confidence. With the new and improved look of their body, they feel more attractive and self-assured; this can significantly improve their quality of life. After surgery, you can wear the clothes you’ve never been confident to wear in public; you’ll see the difference in how you approach the world in no time.

Mentor Silicone Breast Implants

Many women who embark on the journey of breast augmentation surgery don’t know which implant they want. Beyond silicone or saline, there are different trusted brands that surgeons use.

At Harley Surgery, Dr Frati prefers to use Mentor silicone implants. Mentor is a leading breast implant manufacturer that has been manufacturing high-quality implants since 1992. The implants are FDA approved for safety and patients love the way they look and feel.

Mentor implants are made of soft, cohesive silicone gel which resembles the natural feel of human tissue. The shell is made of silicone elastomer, which is a durable material designed to resist rupture. ^[3] The implants come in different shapes, sizes, and textures for each patient’s personal goals.

The Mentor Advantage

Using the most reliable brand of implant gives you greater peace of mind knowing your results will be long-lasting, natural-looking, and safe! With an extended warranty, you’ll have the added confidence knowing that if your implant ruptures or leaks, Mentor will replace it.

Ideal Candidates for Breast Augmentation

To start, the ideal candidates for any surgical procedure with Dr Frati:

Many of our patients have considered surgery for years before finally taking the plunge. These patients may have lost weight, which resulted in lost volume, or genetics have produced less-than-ideal breasts. Regardless of the reason, our patients often feel more confident with their new shapely breasts and are very satisfied with their results.

And what about the woman who has had children? There are many changes that happen to a post-baby body that, combined with exhaustion, can make new moms feel discouraged about their appearance. Breast augmentation can help restore that lost volume caused by breastfeeding.

The Breast Augmentation Procedure

We hope you feel calm and prepared for your life-changing surgery on the day you come to our facility, but we know there may be some nerves. Our staff is trained to help you feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible before the procedure.

Once you are prepped for surgery, Dr Frati will begin the augmentation process. He will make a small incision using one of his trusted methods:

All patients will receive general anesthesia, which means you will be asleep throughout the procedure. Once the incision is made, Dr Frati will insert a breast implant either under your existing tissue or underneath the chest muscle. Dr Frati has perfected his special breast augmentation techniques that allow him to put in bigger implants using a small cut that won’t leave a big scar. Aren’t you glad you chose Dr Frati for your breast augmentation?

After your implants are in place, Dr Frati will close up the incision, and you’ll be taken to a recovery room where our staff will keep an eye on you until you wake up.

Recovery After Breast Augmentation

Once the surgery is complete, we’ll provide detailed instructions and your follow-up appointment will be scheduled. Recovery time will depend on the technique and size of the implant, but typically you can expect to be back on your feet within a week. You will need to avoid heavy lifting — this means pets and children — and you should always wear a supportive bra while you’re healing.

Your breasts may be swollen and tender for several weeks, so it’s important to take it easy and let yourself heal. During your follow-up appointment, Dr Frati will discuss any restrictions or further instructions.
