Breast Augmentation FAQs
-
The starting price of a boob job with Mr Kuen Yeow Chin is £6,200. A personalised quote will be given at your initial consultation, based on your implant choice, surgical complexity, and hospital location.
-
Most breast implants last between 10 to 15 years. Regular check-ups, including annual reviews, can help ensure long-term safety and monitor implant condition.
-
Discomfort after breast implant surgery is usually described as a tight or heavy sensation across the chest muscles. Pain is typically short-lived and effectively managed with medication provided as part of your aftercare plan.
-
Breast size can be increased using silicone breast implants or via fat transfer breast augmentation, depending on your anatomy and goals. Implants deliver a more noticeable and consistent result, while fat grafting offers a softer, natural enhancement using your own tissue. Your initial consultation will help determine which approach suits your desired size and shape.
-
Yes, many patients can breastfeed after surgery. Mr Chin selects implant placement and surgical technique carefully to minimise disruption to the milk ducts and preserve breast function.
-
Implants do not automatically need to be replaced unless there is a complication or your preferences change. Long-term monitoring is advised, and Mr Chin offers implantation surgery, exchange, or removal if needed.
-
Yes, a natural look is a top priority. Each implant is chosen for its type, profile, and size to match your chest wall and complement your frame, resulting in balanced, proportionate larger breasts that still feel like you.
-
After breast enlargement surgery, it’s recommended to sleep with your upper body slightly elevated for at least 1–2 weeks. This position helps minimise swelling and protects your breast tissues while healing. Supportive pillows or a reclined bed setup can make this more comfortable during early recovery.
-
Most patients can drive again 7–10 days after surgery, once they are no longer taking prescription pain medication and can move their chest muscles comfortably. You must be able to perform an emergency stop safely. Mr Kuen Yeow Chin will confirm your readiness during your follow-up visit.
