FAQ

What Is Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure designed to increase breast size and improve breast shape using implants. The implants can be placed either behind the breast tissue or beneath the chest muscle, depending on your anatomy and preferences.

There are several implant types to choose from, including silicone and saline-filled options, as well as different shapes (round or anatomical) and textures. At The Hanson Clinic, we offer a fully personalised consultation to guide you through each option and develop a surgical plan tailored to your body and goals.

  • Improved body balance and silhouette
  • Restored volume and firmness

Who Is a Good Candidate?

breast augmentation Dublin, silicone implants, round and teardrop implants

Who Is a Good Candidate?

You may be a suitable candidate for breast augmentation if:

  • You are in good general health
  • Your breasts are fully developed (usually over 18)
  • You feel your breasts are too small, uneven, or have lost volume
  • You have realistic expectations about the results of surgery
  • You’re not currently pregnant or breastfeeding

A consultation with Mr Richard Hanson will help determine if this procedure is the right choice for you.

How Breast Augmentation Surgery Works

Breast augmentation surgery typically takes 60 to 90 minutes and is performed under general anaesthesia. An incision is made (usually in the crease beneath the breast) and a pocket is created for the implant, either above or below the chest muscle, depending on your anatomy.

The implant is then inserted and carefully positioned to ensure symmetry and a natural contour. The incision is closed with fine sutures, and a surgical bra is usually worn to support healing in the weeks that follow.

Consultation

During your one-on-one consultation, Mr Richard Hanson will assess your body frame, discuss your goals in detail and guide you through the available implant options. This ensures your treatment plan is fully individualised and aligned with your expectations.

Procedure

All breast augmentations at The Hanson Clinic are carried out using advanced surgical techniques in a fully accredited facility. The procedure is performed under general anaesthetic, with careful planning and precision to achieve natural results with minimal visible scarring.

Results

Results are noticeable as soon as post-operative swelling subsides. Final shape and positioning will continue to settle over several weeks to months. Most patients can enjoy their enhanced breast shape within 6 to 8 weeks after surgery.

Recovery

You’ll need to take it easy for the first few days, with most patients returning to light activities within a week. Strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for 4–6 weeks. We provide full post-operative guidance and follow-up support to ensure your recovery is smooth and uncomplicated.

Risks and Considerations

As with any surgery, breast augmentation carries some risks. These may include:

  • Swelling, bruising, or temporary sensitivity
  • Minor scarring, typically well-concealed in the breast crease
  • Capsular contracture (scar tissue hardening around the implant)
  • Implant rupture or shifting (rare with modern implants)
  • Infection or bleeding (uncommon, but possible)

All risks will be discussed in full during your consultation so you can make an informed decision.

FAQ

Is breast augmentation right for me?

Breast augmentation may be suitable if you’re in good health, have fully developed breasts and want to enhance size or shape. A consultation will help determine if this procedure aligns with your goals and expectations.

Modern breast implants are designed to be long-lasting, often 10–15 years or more. However, they are not considered lifetime devices. Regular reviews with your surgeon help ensure ongoing safety and satisfaction.

In most cases, yes. Breast augmentation does not typically affect the ability to breastfeed, especially when implants are placed beneath the chest muscle. This will be discussed in detail during your consultation.

Implant size is chosen based on your body frame, breast measurements and desired outcome. At The Hanson Clinic, we guide you through every option to select a size that complements your proportions and feels right for you.

Silicone implants are filled with a cohesive silicone gel and are often chosen for their natural feel and appearance. Saline implants, filled with sterile salt water, can be adjusted in volume and may be inserted through a smaller incision.
