The only person who should carry out your cosmetic breast surgery is a doctor who has completed a full training programme in a recognised surgical specialty. In UK they should also be on the GMC specialist register in that specialty.

You can also check if your surgeon is a member of BAPRAS or other associations of repute for example ISHRS for Hair Transplant. All overseas surgeons must be on the GMC register. If anyone is not on GMC register, they are working illegally in the UK.

Is your selected surgeon registered with the General Medical Council (GMC)?

An experienced surgeon should be able to tell you whether the surgery is suitable for you or not. You should be prepared for the possibility that the surgeon may advise against the procedure or treatment that you are considering or alternative surgery or treatments.

A surgeon should consider what is best for you even if this means turning you down for your planned surgery.

Am I suitable candidate for the Breast Enlargement/Augmentation procedure?

A surgeon has only got your best interest in mind and hence you should pay attention to the advice given. For example it is very common for patients interested in just having breast enlargement surgery whereas they will benefit from Mastopexy or uplift instead of just having the breast implant.

You should check when your surgeon achieved having their name put on the Specialist Register by visiting the GMC website.

Carefully consider any claims made by the surgeon by asking their complication rate. You can also ask to speak with the previous patients operated by them.

How long your chosen surgeon have been performing the breast enlargement surgery?

It’s important to remember that breast enlargement surgery is not 100% risk free. You need to know very clearly what you are getting into and what kind of implants will be used.

Like any surgical procedure, breast surgery carries a risk of complications, so spend considerable time with your surgeon at Nu Cosmetic Clinic to understand all associated risks and complications.

What are the risks for breast enlargement surgery?

You need to clarify and discuss your reasons for wanting breast surgery, and your overall expectations from the breast enlargement surgery.

This process during initial consultation is important to help ensure that you are not approaching the procedure with an unrealistic idea of what can or can't be achieved. Be really precise about what bothers you, for example, rather than saying “I don’t like my breast”, say exactly what you don’t like, “It’s too small”. This way, you can be given the best advice by the surgeon and are more likely to achieve the result you want.

What change can I expect to see after the breast enlargement surgery?

Aftercare is a crucial part of your recovery so make sure your surgeon explains this following your operation. Complications post breast surgery can happen and you need to be able to go back to the clinic or hospital easily.

You should be 100% sure who to contact in an emergency if you need further treatment or have concerns. Ensure that you understand any additional costs for revision or remedial surgery which may be required.
