The Procedure

What does the Breast Augmentation involve?
The procedure takes approximately 2 hours and is carried out under  intravenous sedation and local anaesthetic, given by a specialist anaesthetist. (General anaesthetic may be used).
Surgery is performed in our licensed day surgery facility.
