Breast Uplift Question: Dear Aurora Clinics, I previously had breast uplift surgery in Scotland along with a reduction on my right breast to create better symmetry.

Ask The Plastic Surgeon Question: Dear Aurora Clinics, I have been watching your nipple reduction videos and noticed that your surgeon presses the nipple to ascertain if there is adequate blood supply to this region.

Ask The Surgeon Question: Dear Aurora Clinics, I am sixteen years of age and have a hormone deficiency which means that my breast size is very small: not even an A cup. I have tried various potions and lotions but none of them provide any signs of breast enlargement. As a result, I would like […]

Question: I have 22 year-old 300ml silicone implants which have caused me no problem over the years until November 2011 when I had a rupture.

Question: I would like to arrange surgery for the correction of an inverted nipple which has never been fully everted, so I guess it would be graded as a Class 3. Could you tell me how long it will take to recover from this type of surgery? I need to know how much time I […]
Question: Could you tell me if you are still recommending Silimed implants as I have recently heard rumours that the polyurethane coating can cause cancer?

Question: I had breast enlargement surgery at a London clinic in December last year. However, my left breast implant did not properly drop into the pocket, so there was a slight gap between the bottom of the implant and the incision. It sat flat against my chest instead of the crease, if that makes sense. […]
Question: Aurora Clinics have been recommended as specialists in the field of breast enlargement surgery. My breast augmentation surgery was carried out in London in December last year.

Question: Since breastfeeding my first child, I have become very unhappy with the size of my nipples. When I wear clothes, they protrude and look very unattractive.

Question: I suffer from eczema, would I be likely to experience any complications if I commenced with breast enlargement surgery? Answer: Thank you for your question.

Question: I have inverted nipples which only protrude temporarily if I pull them outwards really hard. I have learned that during inverted nipple correction the surgeon removes the ducts.

Question: Dear Aurora Clinics, since the birth of my sons, my breasts have become extremely saggy. Although I didn’t breastfeed, I noticed that when I was lactating my cup size increased from a 34C to a 34G. After a couple of weeks, they reduced to a 34B and this is how they have remained. I […]
Question: I have had Gynaecomastia (Male Breast Reduction) surgery and, although I am satisfied the lumps/glandular tissue have been totally removed, I am not happy with the look of my nipples.
