Breast Augmentation
GBS Clinic Ltd is the leading Breast surgery in Dublin, Ireland specialising in breast augmentation. We provide the very latest internationally approved treatments from highly trained medical staff working to the finest standards and best industry practice.
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation, or breast enlargement, is a common type of cosmetic surgery. It involves inserting breast implants into the breast tissue area to increase the breast size. Breast augmentation surgery reshapes the breast in a way that looks more appealing.
For example, if the breasts are of two different sizes, breast surgery can make the breast sizes more equal. If you would prefer to speak to one of our expert breast surgeons in person about getting breast implant surgery, get in touch today.
What to expect from our consultation service
Our breast augmentation consultations usually last between 30 - 45 minutes. There, one of our surgeons will talk you through the various breast implant sizes, and advise on which one would be the best for you. We use 3D imaging software to give you a clear idea of what to expect, and what you will look like after the cosmetic surgery. Then we will provide you with a quote, a method to pay, and a date for the breast surgery.
What to expect from breast augmentation surgery
Prior to arriving at our clinic, your consultant will tell you how long you will be staying for and if you need to bring anything. Then on the day of the procedure, we will invite you to come down to the hospital. After registering in, you will be introduced to your surgical team, including the nurses, the surgeon and the anaesthetist.
The anaesthetist will give you a general anaesthetic, so you will be asleep for the operation. Your aesthetic surgeons will then make the incision to carry out the operation at the inframammary fold (just below the breast). The type of incision will depend on how large the implants are, as well as other things, such as your body-type and the surgeon's preference. The surgeon may then place the breast implants either under or over the pectoral muscle. (These are known as 'submuscular' and 'subglandular' placements, respectively.)
And that's it! After the breast implant has been inserted, the surgeon will then close the incision with layered stitches in the breast tissue. The entire operation shouldn't take more than 90 minutes. There will be some swelling immediately after the operation, and the incision lines will be visible, but both will fade within 14 days. Breast implants last from 7 - 12 years on average. After which, they may need replacing.
After surgery: our breast augmentation aftercare plan
After the operation, our aftercare plan will help you recover quicker and care for your new implants. We normally provide our customers with printed information about their post-operative plan before they leave the hospital.
It should be clear from the information provided, but in any case, we provide a 24/7 number that our clients can call if they have any further questions. We also provide a 24/7 emergency line for clients to call if they experience any potential postoperative problems.
Our clients are also entitled to free postoperative appointments at no extra cost for a period of up to three months after the initial operation (free so long as they do not require surgical intervention).
Potential breast augmentation problems
With every surgical procedure, there are small risks and in the initial consultation your surgeon will explain all of these to you. Including how likely they are to occur, and how they are treated if they occur.
Problems range from minor scarring to capsular contracture (where the immune system struggles to adapt to the implants). There may also be instances where the implant rotates in the chest or ruptures. Sometimes breast implants can reduce the amount of breast milk that is produced (but this will not affect the quality of the breast milk itself). There may also be a small link between breast surgery implants and a condition called anaplastic large cell lymphoma.
It is important to remember that your surgeon will address all of these potential problems clearly before the operation and that we run an aftercare service that includes free post-operative appointments for up to three months, and an emergency 24-hour call line if you have any concerns.

General & Cosmetic Procedures
Are you interested in enlarging your breasts? Would you like a breast lift or do you suffer from large breasts and think a breast reduction would help to ease daily aches and pains?
Breast Uplift (Mastopexy)
During a breast uplift, the breasts are lifted and shaped to make them look perkier. You can achieve a number of results with a breast uplift, the breasts often look fuller, firmer and younger.
This is a popular procedure following a pregnancy, particularly where a baby has been breast fed. It's quite common for women to have this type of breast surgery when their breasts are drooping, sagging or affected by the force of gravity, typically caused by age. Having a breast uplift rectifies this problem and it's a common procedure carried out by us here at GBS Clinic Ltd. This procedure can be done with or without breast implants insertion to achieve fullness in the upper breast. We have developed a long experience in this type of surgery particularly in patient who lost weight intentionally after diet or weight loss surgery.
Fat Transfer Treatment
Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation is another highly effective treatment we provide here at GBS Clinic Ltd. This process involves the use of liposuction to remove fats from problem parts of the body which are then injected into your breasts.
A good alternative to implants, this is a useful breast augmentation process for women that want to achieve natural looking results, whilst gradually increasing their breast size. You can also transfer fat to the buttock regions to enhance the shape, appearance and volume of your posterior if required.
