Expert Breast Enlargement by Mr Naren Basu
Natural, Beautiful Results with a UK Specialist Breast Surgeon
Breast augmentation is one of the most popular cosmetic surgery procedures in the UK, helping women enhance breast size, restore volume, improve breast shape and address natural breast asymmetry. For many women, breast augmentation is about far more than increasing cup size—it is about improving self-confidence, restoring body confidence and empowering women to take control of their own breast aesthetics.
Mr Naren Basu is a Consultant Breast Surgeon and Associate Professor whose practice is dedicated exclusively to breast surgery. Unlike many cosmetic surgeons who perform a wide range of procedures, his specialist practice focuses solely on the breast, providing patients with expert assessment, meticulous surgical technique and personalised care.
Mr Basu holds the Royal College of Surgeons Cosmetic Surgery Certification, demonstrating that he meets nationally recognised standards in cosmetic surgery. He is also committed to education and surgical excellence, having played a leading role in training the next generation of plastic and breast surgeons through the prestigious Training Interface Group (TIG) Oncoplastic Breast Surgery Fellowship, one of the UK's highest-level specialist training programmes.
What is Breast Augmentation?
Breast augmentation, also known as breast enlargement, breast enhancement or breast implant surgery, is a cosmetic procedure designed to increase breast volume, improve breast shape and create balanced, natural-looking proportions.
Women choose breast augmentation for many different reasons, including:
• Increasing naturally small breasts
• Restoring breast volume following pregnancy and breastfeeding
• Improving breast symmetry
• Correcting developmental breast asymmetry
• Enhancing body proportions
• Replacing older breast implants
• Improving confidence and self-image
Every woman has unique goals, and there is no "ideal" breast shape or size. The aim of surgery is to achieve results that are proportionate, natural and tailored to your individual anatomy and lifestyle.
A Specialist Consultation
Choosing breast augmentation is a significant personal decision. Mr Basu believes every patient should receive clear, honest and evidence-based information before deciding whether surgery is right for them.
During your consultation, you will discuss:
• Your reasons for considering breast augmentation
• Your expectations and desired outcome
• Breast implant options
• Implant size and profile
• Implant placement
• Surgical techniques
• Recovery following breast augmentation
• Long-term care and follow-up
• Potential risks and complications
Measurements of your chest wall, breast tissue and skin quality allow an individualised surgical plan to be developed, ensuring the chosen implants complement your natural body shape.
Minimally Invasive Breast Augmentation
Mr Basu offers modern minimally invasive breast augmentation techniques designed to optimise recovery while achieving beautiful, natural-looking outcomes.
This includes Preserve® Breast Augmentation, an advanced surgical technique developed to minimise disruption of important breast tissues wherever appropriate. By preserving key anatomical structures during surgery, Preserve® aims to support a quicker recovery, reduce tissue trauma and maintain the natural characteristics of the breast.
Modern surgical planning, careful implant selection and meticulous operative technique help minimise scarring, optimise healing and provide long-lasting aesthetic results.
Breast Implant Choices
Selecting the right breast implant is one of the most important parts of the procedure.
Your consultation will include discussion of:
• Silicone breast implants
• Implant size
• Implant profile
• Implant shape
• Implant surface characteristics
• Implant positioning
• Expected long-term outcomes
Rather than selecting implants based solely on cup size, careful planning allows implants to be chosen that suit your individual anatomy and desired appearance.
Putting Patient Safety First
Patient safety underpins every aspect of Mr Basu's practice.
Breast augmentation is an elective procedure, and informed decision-making is essential. Every consultation includes a comprehensive discussion of both the benefits and limitations of breast implants, ensuring patients understand the short- and long-term considerations before proceeding.
Topics discussed include:
• Expected aesthetic outcomes
• Recovery after surgery
• Implant longevity
• Future breast imaging
• The possibility of further surgery during your lifetime
• Long-term follow-up recommendations
Breast implants should not be regarded as lifetime devices, and some women will require implant replacement or revision surgery in the future.
Understanding the Risks of Breast Implants
All surgical procedures carry recognised risks, and breast augmentation is no exception.
As part of informed consent, Mr Basu discusses the potential risks associated with breast implant surgery, including:
• Bleeding
• Infection
• Changes in nipple or breast sensation
• Capsular contracture
• Implant rupture
• Implant displacement
• Rippling
• Need for revision surgery
• Breast Implant-Associated Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma (BIA-ALCL)
Although BIA-ALCL is rare, it is important that every patient understands what it is, the symptoms that should prompt medical review and the importance of ongoing monitoring following breast implant surgery.
Mr Basu believes that informed patients make the best decisions and ensures every woman has the opportunity to discuss questions and concerns in detail before proceeding with treatment.
Recovery After Breast Augmentation
Most breast augmentation procedures can be performed as day-case surgery.
Although recovery varies between individuals, many patients can expect to:
• Return home the same day
• Resume light daily activities within several days
• Return to office-based work after approximately one week
• Gradually return to exercise over the following weeks
Detailed aftercare instructions and scheduled follow-up appointments help ensure a safe recovery and the best possible outcome.
