Many women considering breast augmentation wonder whether it might affect their ability to breastfeed in the future.

In most cases, breastfeeding is still possible after breast surgery. The outcome depends on several factors, including the incision type, implant placement, and individual anatomy. While many women with implants are able to breastfeed successfully, some may experience challenges.

These considerations are always discussed in detail during a consultation with Dr Buckland, ensuring the patient understands their options and can make informed decisions about breast surgery.

Compression garments are prescribed after many procedures to reduce swelling, improve comfort, and support healing.

They help tissues settle smoothly and are worn for several weeks. The type of compression garments and duration of use are tailored to each surgery and explained clearly during consultation.

While breast implants add volume, they do not correct significant sagging. If the ni**le is positioned below the breast fold or if the breast tissue is stretched, a breast lift may be recommended in combination with augmentation.

A mastopexy (breast lift surgery) can reposition the ni**le and restore shape, often leading to a more stable and balanced result. A patient’s suitability is assessed during consultation with Dr Buckland to ensure safety and get an effective outcome.

Contrary to popular belief, breast implants don’t need to be routinely replaced after a set time. If they remain intact and comfortable, they can last for many years.

Replacement is only needed if a problem occurs, such as rupture or capsular contracture, or if a patient chooses to change size or remove them. Dr Buckland asks patients to schedule annual check-ups and imaging as they are the best way to detect any issues early.

Aftercare is a very important part of every surgical journey. The first review usually takes place within the first week post-surgery to check dressings and healing progress. Follow-ups continue at regular intervals over the first year.

Patients receive direct contact details for the clinic and an after-hours number for urgent matters. Guidance is provided on wound care, scar management, pain relief, and activity restrictions.

This consistent follow-up ensures that any concerns are addressed early and that recovery remains safe and supported.

Over time, changes in the breast or complications such as implant malposition, scar tissue, or asymmetry may lead to some patients considering revisional breast surgery.

This procedure is often more complex than first-time surgery because it involve operating on tissue that has already healed. The aim is to refine and restore proportion and comfort, with a consistent focus on safety and realistic outcomes.

Patient safety and care guide every decision at Dr Buckland’s practice. Each procedure begins with a thorough medical assessment; only when surgery is appropriate and safe, does it proceed.

Operations are performed in accredited hospitals with specialist anaesthetists and strict infection control protocols. Post-operative support is a priority, with regular reviews, scar care, and ongoing availability for any questions a patient may have.

By limiting the number of procedures performed each week, the practice ensures every patient receives individual attention. Specialist Plastic Surgeon MED0001135776
