Breast Enlargement Birmingham
Breast enlargement is a surgical procedure that involves enhancing the shape and size of breasts through implants or fat transfer. This form of cosmetic surgery has gained immense popularity over the years and is often sought after by women who are not happy with the size or shape of their breasts. If you want breast enlargement surgery in Birmingham, Mr. Sheikh Ahmad should be your first port of call. He is a top-rated cosmetic surgeon, performing breast, body and aesthetic procedures. He provides women with a safe and effective option for enhancing their appearance.
Breast enlargement is a highly personalised procedure, with Mr Sheikh Amhad working closely with each patient to meet their needs and goals. During a consultation, patients can discuss their concerns, ask questions, and receive advice on the best source of action. He will then carefully evaluate the patient’s medical history, current health status, and body type to determine the most suitable breast implant size, shape, and type.
Here, we will delve a little further into what to expect with regard to preparation, the process and the recovery, as well as answer some frequently asked questions about breast implants and surgery.
Breast Enlargement Surgery
What is Breast Enlargement Surgery?
Breast enlargement surgery, also known as breast augmentation or a ‘boob job’, is a surgical procedure designed to enhance the size and shape of a woman’s breasts. In addition to increasing breast size, breast augmentation can correct asymmetry or restore volume lost due to pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight loss.
During the procedure, Mr Ahmad places a breast implant either behind the breast tissue or under the chest muscle. Breast augmentation has a rich history, dating back to the 19th century, with modern techniques first emerging in 1962 (1). Today, it is a safe and effective cosmetic surgery option that delivers long-lasting results.
Breast enlargement is a popular choice for women looking to increase their breast size by one or two cup sizes or more. It is also a popular treatment for transgender women and non-binary individuals who desire a more feminine-looking chest. Consulting with a qualified and experienced cosmetic surgeon, such as Mr Sheikh Ahmad, is essential to ensure the best possible outcome when considering breast augmentation.

Why Consider Breast Augmentation?
Every woman should feel confident and comfortable in her skin. However, the sad fact is that many don't, which can significantly impact their self-esteem. Studies have shown that 71% of women are unhappy with their natural breast size (2), and most want larger breasts. "The data suggests there is now a homogenised preference for larger breasts," Viren Swami, a professor of Social Psychology at Anglia Ruskin University in England, said, Some of the benefits of undergoing breast implant surgery include, but are certainly not limited to:
Improved Body Image & Self-Esteem
Achieving the desired breast size and shape can improve a woman's body image and self-esteem, leading to increased confidence in social and professional settings
Restored Breast Volume
Breast Implant surgery can restore breast volume lost due to pregnancy, breastfeeding or weight loss.
Symmetry Correction
Breast Implant surgery can correct asymmetry and create a more balanced appearance, enhancing overall body proportions.
Breast implants can positively impact both physical appearance and emotional well-being. Breast implant surgery is usually considered a cosmetic procedure, but it can also be a good way for women to rebuild their breasts after a mastectomy.
In addition, it can also help to address complications from past surgeries or congenital issues such as Poland syndrome (3), tuberous breast, pectus excavatum, or scoliosis, thereby improving overall body symmetry and proportions.
Who Is Suitable ?
Who's Suitable for Breast Augmentation?
American research indicates that 92% of all cosmetic procedures are performed on women (4). Unsurprisingly, breast enlargements are the most common procedure, as they can benefit women looking to boost their appearance and self-confidence. Research from the United States also shows us that almost half of all breast augmentation surgery patients are between 35-50 years old, with similar patterns observed in the United Kingdom (5). Breast enlargement surgery may be the right choice if you feel that your breasts are too small, are noticeably different in size, or have lost volume and shape after pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Most doctors agree that breast enlargement surgery is safe and a good choice for women with good physical and mental health. Candidates should be at least 18 years old, as this is when the breasts have reached full development. However, breast enlargement surgery is not suitable for women who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have had abnormal mammogram results. It is important to discuss your suitability for breast enlargement surgery with a qualified and experienced surgeon, such as Mr Sheikh Ahmad, who can assess your needs and help you determine whether the procedure is right for you.

What Type of Implants?
The choice of breast implants is a critical factor that can significantly affect the success of your breast enlargement surgery. Selecting the correct implant type will help protect against complications and achieve your desired outcome. Mr. Ahmad understands this importance and is committed to using only the best breast implant technology. Mr Ahmad offers a range of implant options, including implants from manufacturers like Allergan, Mentor, and Sebbin. He also provides B-Lite implants, which are 30% lighter than traditional breast implants (6). During your consultation, Mr. Ahmad will discuss the pros and cons of each option and recommend the best implant for your specific needs and expectations.
Silicone implants are the most common choice for breast enlargement treatments in the UK as they provide a natural look and are less prone to wrinkling. Mr. Ahmad is a member of a small group of UK surgeons with expertise in using ADM/mesh in cosmetic breast surgery. ADM/Mesh is an internal bra designed for moderate to large implants that helps to prevent breast ptosis and capsular contractures (7).
Round implants create a fuller shape, especially at the top of the breast, while teardrop implants slope downward from the nipple to the breastbone, providing a more natural look.
If you have questions about the differences between round and teardrop implants, Mr. Ahmad can help you make an informed decision.

Breast enlargement can potentially transform your appearance and significantly boost your self-confidence. However, it is essential to recognise that the procedure may not be suitable for everyone, and everyone is unique. Therefore, a personal consultation will be essential to address your worries and give you all the required information. You can, of course, bring someone with you for support.
After the consultation, you will clearly understand the anticipated results and what to expect regarding recovery and aftercare. Cosmetic surgery is now safer than ever (8), but you need to consider any potential complications.
How Can You Prepare
How Can You Prepare For Breast Enlargement Surgery?
If you meet the criteria for becoming a suitable candidate, you are probably in relatively good health already. However, women who are slightly overweight should lose weight before the surgery date. If you smoke, it is strongly advised to cease for at least two weeks before the operation and two weeks afterwards to lessen the risk of chest infections and extended scarring.
You may also be advised to avoid taking aspirin and certain anti-inflammatory drugs, as these can increase the risk of bleeding. If you take any recreational drugs, they must be stopped well before your surgery. We suggest you come in loose-fitting clothing before changing into a hospital gown. This includes a shirt with buttons or zippers in the front, jogging pants or leggings, or anything else that is comfy.
Most Common Risks of Breast Augmentation?
- Implant rotation causes the breasts to look significantly different to one another.
- The formation of scar tissue around the implant. This is called capsular contracture and can cause soreness.
- Removal of the breast implant severe infection
- The formation of lumps due to silicone granuloma. If these rupture, it can cause the implants to leak.
- Problems with breastfeeding
- A thin breast tissue layer sticks to the implant, causing an unsightly rippling effect.

What Happens During Breast Implant Surgery?
Your breast surgery will be carried out under a general anaesthetic. Mr. Ahmad will typically draw on the areas he will operate on before you are put under anaesthesia.
Every surgeon has their way of doing procedures, but with Mr. Ahmad, you can be assured that you have a highly-skilled and experienced surgeon.
A small incision is made in the skin so Mr Ahmad can access the breast tissue. This is usually done underneath the breast but can also be in the armpit or the nipple. Every patient is different, and Mr. Ahmad will work to do it with as little scarring as possible.
The implant will then be inserted into the breast, behind or in front of the breast tissue or the muscles. (11). Mr. Ahmad will determine the best positioning for optimal results and do the same for both breasts to ensure a symmetrical and natural look.
Once the implants are in place, the final step is to close the wound and dress it.
The recovery process
The Recovery Process After Breast Enlargement
Research shows that 93% of breast augmentation patients were satisfied or very satisfied with the result of their surgery. But's it's important great results depend a lot on allowing your body to heal after the surgery.
The recovery period generally lasts for around two weeks. During this time, you must protect your breasts and avoid doing anything that can cause complications, such as infection.
Things to avoid during recovery:-
Not Driving
Avoiding Sex
Taking Time Off Work
Not Lifting Anything Heavy
Sleeping Upright
During the first weeks of recovery, you will likely need to take painkillers, and you will need to wear a compression bra or a sports bra for a month or so. It can take a while to get used to how your breasts look after surgery, so be gentle with yourself!
You will also have follow-up appointments after surgery, usually around three weeks, a month, and six weeks, to ensure you are happy with the results and that there are no complications.
Frequently Asked Questions
About Breast Enlargement Birmingham
Does Having Breast Implants Increase My Risk Of Breast Cancer?
No conclusive evidence suggests that having breast implants increases the risk of breast cancer (13). However, breast implants can affect the detection of breast cancer during screening, as they can obscure some breast tissue, making any abnormalities challenging to identify. Therefore, anyone with breast implants should inform their radiologist so that the appropriate imaging techniques can be used to ensure an accurate screening.
Will My Nipple Sensation or Feeling Change After Having Breast Implants?
Breast augmentation can cause changes in nipple sensitivity for many individuals due to the swelling of the breast tissue. Some women may experience heightened sensitivity that can be uncomfortable, while others may temporarily experience dulled sensations in the nipple area. However, in most cases, these changes will diminish over time as the swelling subsides and the incisions heal.
Can I Breastfeed After Augmentation?
Fortunately, most women can breastfeed without issue following breast augmentation since the breast’s ducts and milk production areas are usually unaffected (14). If the incision is made around the areola, it may affect the nipple sensation and interfere with the signals needed to initiate letdown, affecting the milk supply.
How Long Do Breast Implants Last?
On average, breast implants last between 10 and 20 years(15). However, there can be significant variations in the amount of wear and tear experienced by different individuals.
