Breast enhancements and treatments from Riverbanks Clinic

At Riverbanks Clinic we believe that it is critical our clients are comfortable in their skin, and that includes, naturally, the bosom area.

For breast enhancement and enlargement, Dr Jain wholeheartedly recommends Macrolane - performed by the best, Jonquille Chantrey.

Macrolane is the first ever body shaping treatment to harness the benefits of hyaluronic acid to naturally add volume and help you regain your womanly contours. It mimics the benefits of breast surgery but is completely non-invasive, meaning no pain, no scarring and no need for a general anaesthetic or overnight hospital stay.

Benefits of Macrolane breast enhancement:

• No Surgery – No Scars
• Takes Only 30-45 minute – Walk In/Walk Out
• Requires Only a Local Anaesthetic – Low Risk
• Minimal Recovery Time – Little or No Bruising
• Biodegradable Substance - Further Minimising Risk
• Rapid Results – Buy a New Bra on the Way Home
• Natural Look – Natural Feel

Breast operation horror - could it have been avoided?

You may have read in the Mail on Sunday last month about Sarah Cound's horrific breast reduction operation horror that has resulted in £17,000 of surgery, and still Ms Cound 'feels deformed'.

We won't reiterate the whole story here, but suffice to say Ms Cound may be £300,000 the richer after her monetary award, but as many women know, the money won't make up for the knock to her confidence, her self esteem, and her body.

Interestingly, and shockingly, The Mail on Sunday reports that:

The GMC records show that when he operated on Sarah, Dr Horn - who is not a member of the Royal College of Surgeons, BAAPS or the British Association of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons - was listed as a general surgeon. He was not registered as a plastic surgeon until four years later.

A Harley Medical Group spokesperson said: 'Gary Horn was employed as a plastic surgeon at the Harley Medical Group for a three-year contract 12 years ago between 1997 and 2000, when his contract expired.

'Only since 2002 have all our surgeons been required to be registered on the GMC Specialist Register as a plastic surgeon.'

While these horror stories are rare, it is important for us to reiterate a few simple checks and rules that can help you to avoid a similar story:

• Always check your doctor's credentials and ensure your doctor belongs to the necessary associations
• Ask for patient testimonials - this is your body you are talking about, insist on seeing what others say about your doctor
• Insist on seeing before and after pictures of real patients that your doctor has treated
• Ask to speak to previous patients - if your doctor has satisfied patients then it should be no problem to speak to people going through the same procedures as you

Most importantly, don't believe that because the clinic has a big and well known name or address (as in this case, Harley Street) it is the best. It's easy to be blinded by posh offices and a great bedside manner, but the above checks are way more important - avoid any horror stories of your own by making sure you cover everything.

Macrolane Helps to Restore Breast Volume After Breast Feeding / Pregnancy

Invariably during pregnancy and after breast-feeding, women experience a change in their breast volume. The upper part of the breast often loses volume and therefore the overall shape of the breast changes to a less pleasing form. The changes are often not pleasant and result in women becoming extremely self-conscious about their bodies and losing self-confidence. As a result of this, many women choose to have some form of cosmetic breast treatment after pregnancy to help restore the volume and shape of their breasts.

But until very recently, the only option was painful surgery with lengthy healing times. However, lately, the use of a treatment called Macrolane has been changing the way that women restore the volume of their breasts after breast-feeding and pregnancy. Macrolane is a highly effective breast enhancement filler that rapidly increases the volume of breasts without implants, without hospital stay or time off from work.

Macrolane is a man-made gel developed from Hyaluronic Acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body. Once the gel has been injected into the area where additional volume is required, the Macrolane attracts water to that area, giving it a natural boosting and lifting effect. Getting a fuller, reshaped bust is easier than ever with Macrolane.

The procedure takes less than an hour and involves a simple injection that gives the breasts both lift and volume. The treatment is performed under a local anaesthetic. This is really a walk-in/walk-out treatment that offers the best natural looking results with no time off work required. There is minimal risk of scarring and you’ll be glad to know that Macrolane does not hinder the results of a Mammogram.

With Macrolane, you see immediate results. It takes only a few days for the tissue of the breast to fully absorb the water from your body, but within a fortnight, the Macrolane softens and the breast feels completely natural again.

The results of Macrolane are not permanent, which means if you are unhappy with your treatment, you can return to your original size and shape after about 12-14 months. If you are happy with the level of restored volume and increased lift that the Macrolane gives your breasts, then you would need to have regular Macrolane top-ups each year.

So having children doesn’t have to mean an end to maintaining beautiful, well-shaped breasts, with Macrolane treatments you can get very affordable breast enhancement treatment with no downtime.

Macrolane is not just used for post-pregnancy breast volume loss, but also for women that are seeking breast augmentation, enhancement and reshaping of asymmetrical breasts. Macrolane is a safe alternative to surgery and due to the nature of the gel itself, which is not a foreign substance to the body; there is very little risk of an allergic reaction to the treatment.

If you’re looking to restore volume to your breasts after pregnancy, why not make an appointment to speak with a Macrolane Breast Enhancement specialist at Riverbanks Clinic by calling 01582 762877 or visiting http://www.riverbanksclinic.co.uk
