Ask anything.

You can book online through the booking page or call the practice. A booking is not confirmed until the booking system records it. Fees and terms are shown at booking and in a written quote.

You will meet Dr. Mehrad Jaberi, a plastic surgeon, who will discuss your goals, examine you where appropriate, and explain your options. Other members of the practice team may help with scheduling, questions, and logistics. If you are unsure about who is involved at any stage, you are welcome to ask.

Availability can vary, so check the booking page or ask the practice when you book. A virtual conversation may help with early questions, but a breast examination is generally needed before a surgical plan can be made. A decision to proceed with surgery is not made on a virtual visit alone.

Bring a list of your medications, allergies, and past surgeries, as well as any previous breast imaging and implant documentation if you have it. Photos of looks you like can help the conversation, though they show a direction rather than a promised result. Writing down your questions beforehand is also useful.

No. A consultation is for information and discussion, and many people take time to think, or decide that surgery is not for them. Both are perfectly good outcomes.

The answer depends on your breast volume, skin quality, and the position of your nipple relative to the breast fold. Implants add volume, while a lift changes position. Dr. Jaberi will assess these during your examination and talk through the choices with you.

Implants are devices that can give a larger and more predictable change in volume, but they are not lifetime devices. Fat transfer uses your own fat for a more modest increase, with no implant, though some of the fat may be absorbed by the body. Some people consider a combination of the two.

Often it can improve asymmetry, using approaches such as implants of different sizes, a lift, a reduction, or fat transfer. Most people have some natural asymmetry, and complete symmetry cannot be promised. Your surgeon will tell you what is realistic in your case.

No. Some people seek a reduction to relieve neck, back, or shoulder discomfort, while others want a smaller, lighter proportion for comfort or appearance. Your goals and symptoms are discussed during a consultation.

Nipple and areola surgery can address size, position, or shape, and may be done alone or alongside other breast procedures. It can affect sensation, and its suitability depends on your anatomy and goals.

Anesthesia is individualized to the procedure, your health, and your preferences. General anesthesia is available. Your plan is confirmed with the surgical team and the anesthesiologist before surgery.

In selected cases, awake or local-based approaches, sometimes with light sedation, may be possible in an accredited surgical facility with an anesthesiologist present. Not every procedure or patient is suited to this, and the decision is made individually. General anesthesia remains an option where it is more appropriate.

Surgery is carried out in a surgical facility, and you should confirm the specific location and its accreditation when you book. You are welcome to ask about the facility and the team involved in your care.

You will receive written instructions, which may include stopping certain medications and supplements, avoiding smoking and nicotine, fasting before anesthesia, and arranging a ride home and help for the first days. Follow your surgeon's instructions closely rather than general advice.

Most breast procedures are performed as day surgery, so you go home the same day, but this depends on the operation and your health. You will need someone to take you home and ideally stay with you the first night.

Many people return to light activity or desk work within one to two weeks, with strenuous exercise and heavy lifting restricted for longer, often four to six weeks. Timelines vary by procedure and by person, and your surgeon will give you specific guidance.

Some soreness, tightness, and swelling is expected, and it usually eases over the first several days. You will be given a plan for pain control. Tell your surgeon if pain is severe, getting worse, or one-sided.

Swelling goes down over weeks, but the breasts often continue to settle and soften for several months, and scars mature over a year or more. The final outcome cannot be guaranteed and breasts can change over time.

Scar location depends on the procedure, from short scars in the fold under the breast for augmentation to longer patterns around the areola and down the breast for lifts and reductions. Scars are permanent and fade at different rates in different people, so their appearance cannot be promised.

Following wound-care instructions, avoiding smoking, and protecting healing skin from the sun are commonly advised. Your surgeon may also recommend silicone products or other treatments once the incisions have closed.

Reach out promptly for fever, spreading redness, rapid swelling on one side, increasing pain, or a nipple that looks dark or very pale. For chest pain or trouble breathing, call emergency services right away.

Risks include bleeding, infection, poor healing, scarring, asymmetry, and changes in nipple or breast sensation, along with anesthesia risks. Your surgeon will explain how they apply to you and how they would be managed.

Capsular contracture occurs when the scar tissue that naturally forms around an implant tightens, which can cause firmness, changes in shape, or discomfort. It can occur in varying degrees and may be treated with surgery if it is bothersome.

Implants are not lifetime devices, and there is no set date for replacement. Some people keep them for many years, while others have them exchanged or removed because of complications or changes in preference. Follow-up and any imaging your surgeon advises help to monitor them.

Implants can make standard mammography more complex, and additional views may be needed. Tell the screening staff that you have implants, and keep following the screening guidance for your age and risk.

Yes, pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight change, hormones, and aging can all change breast shape and size after surgery. If you are planning a pregnancy or a significant weight change, mention it during your consultation.

Yes, implant removal is a common option. The breasts may look different afterward, and a lift or fat transfer may be discussed to address skin or volume. Results cannot be guaranteed.
