Frequently asked questions
Can I get breast augmentation on the NHS in Londonderry?
Cosmetic breast augmentation is not available on the NHS. Breast reconstruction following mastectomy or medical necessity may qualify for NHS funding. Private surgery in Londonderry costs significantly more than abroad.
How long is the recovery period after breast surgery?
Initial recovery typically takes 2 to 3 weeks, during which you can return to light activity. Full recovery and scar maturation takes 3 to 6 months. Most patients travel within 7 to 10 days of surgery if properly managed.
Are implants safe and how long do they last?
Modern silicone and saline implants are safe when placed by experienced surgeons. Implants are not lifetime devices, with many lasting 10 to 20 years or longer. Regular monitoring through imaging is recommended.
What is the difference between Istanbul and UK breast surgery?
Both use similar surgical techniques and implant brands, though costs differ substantially. Istanbul facilities are accredited and surgeons often trained internationally. Quality varies by clinic, so research credentials and patient reviews carefully.
How do I prepare for breast surgery if travelling from Londonderry?
Book your flights after receiving surgical approval from your chosen clinic. Allow time for pre-operative tests and consultations. Arrange post-operative support at home and plan to avoid driving or heavy lifting for several weeks.
