Surgical procedures for the breast and chest, performed by experienced consultant plastic surgeons
Overview
Surgical procedures for the breast and chest, performed by experienced consultant plastic surgeons
Breast and chest surgery covers a wide range of procedures, each carried out by a consultant plastic surgeon with specialist training and experience. The right operation depends on your starting point, your goals and the realistic outcome that can be achieved for your anatomy.
At Maison Restorative we offer breast augmentation with implants, breast reduction (mammoplasty), breast uplift (mastopexy), corrective breast surgery for asymmetry or previous results, gynaecomastia surgery for men, and inverted nipple repair. Each procedure is preceded by a thorough consultation, surgical planning and detailed discussion of recovery and aftercare.
Decisions about breast and chest surgery are personal and often long-considered. Our surgeons take the time to understand what matters most to you, explain the options openly and never rush the decision.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
How is recovery from breast surgery?
This depends on the specific procedure. Most patients are back to non-strenuous activities within one to two weeks and resume more vigorous activity at six to eight weeks. Your surgeon will give a detailed recovery timeline at consultation.
What is gynaecomastia surgery?
Gynaecomastia is the development of excess breast tissue in men. Surgical correction removes the tissue and, where appropriate, addresses excess skin, producing a flatter, more masculine chest contour.
Will I be left with significant scarring?
Modern techniques minimise scarring and place incisions in discreet locations. The exact scar pattern depends on the procedure and your anatomy, which your surgeon will discuss honestly at consultation.
Can asymmetry between the breasts be corrected?
Yes. Corrective breast surgery can address differences in size, shape or position. The exact approach depends on the degree and nature of the asymmetry and your goals.
Can excess male breast tissue (gynaecomastia) be removed?
Yes. Gynaecomastia surgery removes excess breast tissue and fat from the male chest, and addresses surplus skin where present, to produce a flatter, firmer contour. It is usually performed as a day case, and your surgeon will explain the technique and recovery at consultation.
How much does breast or chest surgery cost?
Pricing depends on the procedure agreed for you and is confirmed in writing at your consultation, with no obligation to proceed.
