Procedure Overview

For some people, feeling self-conscious or insecure about their breasts can have a huge impact on both confidence and self-esteem. That is why breast-related procedures are one of the most popular types of surgery and here at Merchant City Medical Group, we are proud to offer you a first class service with our specialist, Dr. Anna De Leo carried out in our London clinic.

Breast Augmentation is chosen by women who want larger or fuller shaped breasts, for those who wish to correct size discrepancy between both breasts or to replace breast tissue lost after pregnancy or weight loss. Dr Anna De Leo carried out in our London clinic offers online or face to face consultations, this will help you establish your goals early on. She will discuss the options with you and will recommend the appropriate type and size for your physique whilst ensuring you get the look you desire.

Recovery time can vary for each individual. There are various factors to take into consideration, such as the placement, implant size and also type. On average, a full recovery period usually takes around 4-6 weeks, with many returning to work after 1 week. It is important to refrain from physical activity, lifting heavy objects and overworking yourself during this sensitive time.

Look great, be confident.

Stop worrying about your hair.

6) If you have a partner, to what extent does your feature(s) currently have an effect on your relationship with an existing partner? (e.g. affectionate feelings, number of arguments, enjoying activities together).
