Breast Augmentation

Restore Balance, Enhance Shape

Breast augmentation surgery can enhance your natural proportions and help you feel more confident in your body.

This procedure, also called a boob job, breast enlargement, or augmentation mammoplasty, increases breast volume with implants or fat transfer. Emendo creates a plan tailored to your body and goals — whether you want fuller breasts, better symmetry, or a new shape.

At Emendo Surgical Group, our plastic surgeons specialise in discreet, natural-looking breast augmentation. Our consultant-led service offers fat grafting and implant based breast augmentation, all designed to deliver natural looking breast shape, that suit your preferences and anatomy. Emendo offers advanced plastic surgery led by experienced specialists.

We also offer breast lift and augmentation combined (known as ‘mastopexy augmentation), when needed, to enhance both shape and volume.

Functional Benefits of
Breast Augmentation

  • Restores breast shape after breast cancer surgery or mastectomy, often using implants or fat.

  • Helpful for underdeveloped or uneven breasts, such as in Poland syndrome or tuberous breast cases.

  • Used to restore form when tissue is lost or changed due to injury or past surgery.

  • For trans women and some nonbinary people, breast augmentation is a key part of gender-affirming care. It helps the body match their gender identity.

At Emendo Surgical Group, not every breast enhancement surgery is about size. Whether it's to rebuild, fix, or support your health, we offer respectful, precise care that fits your needs.

Types of Breast Augmentation: Implants & Fat Transfer

Your surgeon will help choose the best shape and placement. Implants can go above or below the chest muscle, depending on your goals and body.

Breast Implant Options

  • The most common breast implants in the UK, filled with a silicone gel that feels like natural breast tissue.

    • Proven safety

    • Many sizes and shapes available

    • Chosen for their smooth, natural feel

  • Less common in the UK. Filled with sterile salt water during surgery.

    • Smaller incisions

    • Can adjust volume during surgery

    • Sometimes used in reconstructive or revision cases

  • Give even shape and a fuller look, especially at the top of the breast.

    • Creates a lifted appearance

    • Popular for added volume

    • No concern if the implant rotates

  • Have a natural slope with more volume at the bottom.

    • Subtle enhancement

    • Often used in reconstruction

    • Require careful placement to avoid rotation

Your surgeon will help choose the best shape and placement. Implants can go above or below the chest muscle, depending on your goals and body.

Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation

For a softer, more natural result, fat transfer breast augmentation is a great alternative to implants. Also called fat injection or natural breast enlargement, this uses your own fat to enhance shape and volume.

The fat transfer procedure starts with liposuction to take fat from a donor site, like the tummy or thighs. The fat is cleaned and gently injected into the breasts to improve shape, size, and balance.

    • No implants

    • Shapes both donor area and breasts

    • Ideal for small volume increase or subtle shaping

    • Can be used with implants for a softer look

    • Best for patients with enough fat — the amount of fat available matters

    • Increases are usually modest

    • Some fat cells are reabsorbed — around 60–80% stay

    • Final results take 3–6 months

    • More than one session may be needed

Natural breast augmentation is often chosen after weight loss, implant removal, or pregnancy.

Breast Augmentation Reviews

  • "Mr Chummun did a great job of exchanging my breast implants as my first implants had come to end of recommended life. He was very friendly and answered all my questions recommending I go for smaller implants due to my age and weight loss which now 3 months post procedure I am very happy with. Discomfort during the healing process has been minimal I would highly recommend Mr Chummun."

  • "A very honest and professional opinion, with excellent care from start to finish. Assured me and answered all my questions. I felt I was in good hands and am amazed with the results of my breast augmentation.”

  • “I had a breast augmentation and I’m very happy with the process and the results. Really exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend.”
