We also treat other breast abnormalities which could be present from birth (congenital) or secondary to other causes (acquired), for example, funnel chest (pectus excavatum) is a condition in which the breastbone (sternum) is depressed giving a concave shape to the chest.
Pectus excavatum varies in severity but nowadays can be corrected simply by Macrolane or more permanent and minimally invasive procedures such as BIO-ALCAMID™ 96% water plus 4% Synthetic reticulate polymer, poly-Alkyl-Imide, this composition guarantees softness to the touch, with the implant having a similar consistency to the tissues surrounding it without being noticed by others.
At our cosmetic surgery clinic, we carry out the procedure under local anaesthetic as a Day Case Surgery. This means it is safer and one can walk away straight after the operation. However, there are special criteria to be considered depending on the individual case.
The surgeon will take a full history and examine you at initial consultation. Certainly, some procedures such as breast enlargement and similar more invasive procedures need to be carried out under general anaesthesia. Our surgeons also have the option to admit you to a private hospital and operate on you under general anaesthesia.
