Back to Cosmetic surgery. Having a breast enlargement is a big decision. It's major surgery, the results are not guaranteed and there are some risks to think about. During the operation, implants are inserted into your breasts to increase their size, change their shape, or make them more even.
There are some circumstances where you might be able to get breast enlargement on the NHS β for example, if you have very uneven breasts or no breasts. It often depends on the area you live in. Your GP should be able to tell you more about the rules in your area. This does not usually include the cost of consultations or follow-up care. You'll also have to pay for any follow-up surgery you may need in the future. Before you go ahead, be sure about why you want breast implants.
Take time to think about your decision. Read more about whether cosmetic surgery is right for you. You could also speak to your GP about it. If you're having breast enlargement in England, check the Care Quality Commission CQC to see if the hospital or clinic is registered with them.
All independent clinics and hospitals that provide cosmetic surgery in England must be registered with the CQC. Be careful when using the internet to look for doctors and clinics who provide breast enlargement. Some clinics may pay to advertise their services on search listings. They should be listed on the specialist register and have a licence to practise. Most associations have online registers that you can check to see if your surgeon is listed.

Silicone implants are the most common type used in the UK. They're less likely to wrinkle and feel more natural. However, they can spread into your breast and cause lumps. Saline implants are more likely to fold, rupture or go down over time. If they do go down or rupture, the saline will safely be absorbed into your body.
