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
-

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.
