NON SURGICAL BREAST ENLARGEMENT
Surgery is not always an option so non surgical breast enlargement treatments may be the answer. We offer breast enhancement for reshaping the breasts without any surgery. This breast enlargement procedure is a quick, simple procedure which involves injecting a breast filler like Macrolane into the breast tissue under local anaesthetic as an out patient procedure. You will be in hospital for an hour or so and will be able to go home immediately after the breast injections. Mr Taimur Shoaib remains the most experienced Macrolane surgeon and the only fully qualified plastic surgeon in Scotland trained in Macrolane breast fillers treatments. (Information correct at the beginning of 2009).
Before and after photographs of macrolane breast injections performed by Mr Shoaib can be seen below.
What is Macrolane
Macrolane is an injection of a substance called hyaluronic acid (or HA). HA is a naturally occurring substance that is present throughout your body. HA is already widely used in cosmetic surgery to fill and smooth out fine lines and wrinkles in various parts of the face. Examples of other HAs currently in use by Mr Shoaib include: restylane, perlane, prevelle, puragen, hydrafill and juvederm. The difference with Macrolane is that it is far thicker than any of the previous HAs that we have and so we can use it to reshape parts of your body. Macrolane is commonly used for non surgical breast enhancement and to fill areas of unwanted contours.
What can we do with Macrolane injections
For breast enlargement, we can increase the breast size by 100cc on each side, which is the equivalent of around one cup size. Because it is an injection, the procedure can be performed in around one hour and there is minimal recovery time needed.
What we know and do not know about Macrolane
Macrolane usually needs a top up every year. So, we will arrange to see you at this time at a consultation. You will not receive a top up at that time, but we will simply want to see you to assess your progress. At this time you may choose to have more treatment or not, as the case may be. You can also receive a top up any time after your treatment from a few weeks onwards if you feel you need more than the maximum we can give in one session.
Macrolane is a new product and we want to know all about your experiences. We know that the substance it contains (hyaluronic acid) has been injected into millions of people and has a very good safety record. We do not know, however, what effects it has on your tissues (eg the breast, if it is injected there) in the long term but we have no reason to think it will not be safe for you. We will only have the answers to this question in several decades time once it has been around for several decades. Macrolane gradually dissolves away from your tissues over a year or two, and if you are particularly concerned about the presence of the product inside you, then there is another injection we can give which dissolves hyaluronic acid. In the mean time, however, Q-med, the manufacturers of Macrolane, tell us it is very safe.
What happens now
Now that you have some information about Macrolane breast filler injections, the next step is to make an appointment with Mr Shoaib at the Glasgow Nuffield Hospital or La Belle Form private clinic, also in Glasgow. At the consultation you can discuss whether you would like to go ahead or not with the procedure and there is no obligation to book you in for treatment. A consultation gives us an opportunity to discuss everything in detail so that you can make an informed decision.
