At Centre for Surgery in London, our team comprises highly skilled specialist plastic surgeons who are leading professionals in a broad array of surgical procedures. For those curious about which procedures are most commonly performed at our Baker Street clinic in Marylebone, here is an overview of the top three most frequently conducted surgeries.
Breast Augmentation Surgery
Breast augmentation surgery undeniably tops the list of popular procedures at the Centre for Surgery, with our skilled surgeons performing over 250 of these surgeries annually. Whether you desire a significant or slight increase in size, our surgeons’ guiding principle is always to achieve the most natural-looking outcome.
With breast augmentation, there are numerous factors to consider. One of the initial decisions will involve selecting the most appropriate type of incision for your unique situation. There are four main incision options: inframammary (situated in the crease underneath the breast), periareolar (around the nipple), transaxillary (within the armpit), and transumbilical (through the belly button). Each type of incision has its own set of benefits and potential drawbacks, and the most suitable choice largely depends on your individual case.
Next, you’ll need to consider the size of the implants, the kind of implants to be used, and their shape, whether round or teardrop.
While these decisions might seem straightforward initially, many of them are intricately linked to and must be adapted to suit your unique anatomical structure. Various aspects of your existing breasts play a crucial role in these choices – aspects such as current breast measurements and positioning, the characteristics of your chest wall, and the density of your breast tissue. All of these factors can significantly impact the selection of the most suitable implant to achieve your aesthetic objectives.
Additional elements also factor into the decision-making process, such as your preferences regarding cleavage enhancement or whether your breasts might require a breast lift. These are all considerations that need to be thoroughly discussed with your surgeon during a face-to-face consultation at our Baker Street clinic. This consultation will help you ascertain if this is indeed the right procedure for you and if it will facilitate the aesthetic outcome you wish to achieve.
Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
Abdominoplasty, more commonly referred to as a ‘tummy tuck’, is another procedure frequently performed at Centre for Surgery, with our surgeons expertly conducting over 100 operations annually.
The surgery typically commences with liposuction of the abdominal region and, in some cases, the waist, to extract any surplus fat and sculpt a more contoured silhouette. Subsequently, an incision is made just above the pubic area, which enables your surgeon to eliminate any residual skin or fat around the central and lower abdomen.
In certain instances, rectus diastasis, a condition where the rectus muscles separate during pregnancy, may necessitate repair. Our surgeons utilise barbed sutures for this purpose, tightening the abdominal wall and repairing the rectus diastasis. Following this, any excess skin is removed, and your navel is created anew and repositioned.
What truly sets Centre for Surgery’s tummy tuck procedure apart is our innovative approach, ‘Progressive Tension Abdominoplasty’, or also known as the ‘no-drain tummy tuck surgery‘. This method was developed in part by our very own surgeons.
Traditional tummy tuck methods necessitate patients living with a drain for several days or occasionally weeks post-surgery to eliminate any accumulating excess fluid. This requirement can be exceedingly uncomfortable and significantly prolong the recovery period.
In contrast, our approach utilises specialised barbed sutures that securely fasten the skin and muscle with the suture’s barbs, thus eliminating the need for drains. This innovative method not only enhances patient comfort but also expedites the recovery process, making the postoperative period much more manageable.
Mummy Makeover
The Mummy Makeover, a comprehensive package of procedures specifically designed to address the physical changes women often experience post-pregnancy, is another hugely popular choice at Centre for Surgery. With over 100 procedures carried out annually, we take pride in helping our patients regain their confidence.
The Mummy Makeover is a combined surgical approach that addresses the physical alterations resulting from pregnancy, childbirth, and nursing. It typically encompasses procedures like breast lift and/or breast augmentation, a tummy tuck, and liposuction.
The significant advantage of opting for a Mummy Makeover lies in its time efficiency. By conducting multiple procedures within a single surgery, recovery times are considerably shortened. This consolidated approach also saves patients from undergoing three separate surgeries, making it an ideal choice for busy mothers.
One of the unique options we provide is an ‘auto augmentation‘ for the breast lift. This innovative technique utilises the patient’s own breast tissue to create a fuller, uplifted appearance in the breasts without requiring the insertion of an implant. The surgeons reposition tissue from the lower part of the breast to the upper pole, enhancing fullness and achieving a naturally voluminous look. This option is a testament to our commitment to tailoring procedures to our patients’ needs and aesthetic goals.
