Breast Augmentation
All women desire to be comfortable with every inch of their body and to feel fabulous. Feeling satisfied and confident about your breasts can really boost your confidence. This is why many women opt for breast augmentation, commonly known as a boob job, which involves inserting breast implants during breast enlargement surgery.

Each woman has a different breast shape to the next, which is why we ensure that your breast augmentation surgery is tailored to you as an individual. We take you through the various shapes and sizes of implants that best suit your frame at the consultation stage to guarantee that you are 100% confident in the size and chosen profile before your breast implant surgery.
During your breast augmentation procedure, a small incision is made underneath the breast in the natural crease so that it is hidden. Your implant will be inserted into the breast pocket either in front of the muscle, behind the muscle, or dual plane.
Once the implant is perfectly placed the incisions are closed using dissolvable stitches or surgically glued for the most comfort and minimal scarring.
Breast implant surgery typically takes 60 minutes in the theatre and in most cases patients can go home on the same day as the surgery.
We use the very latest and most technologically advanced implants on the market as well as offer extended warranties, ensuring you are looked after throughout your surgery, during your breast augmentation recovery and for years to come.
Following your discharge, you will be invited back to attend a number of follow-up appointments with your nurse and Dr Mitsakos throughout your breast augmentation surgery recovery period to give you extra peace of mind.
As a leading surgeon in breast augmentation or breast implant treatments in London, Dr Mitsakos’ offers a personalised approach that fits your needs. Whether you are looking for a fuller bust or want to increase your breast size, this is the perfect procedure for you.
Fat Transfer
Breast Augmentation
Fat transfer to breasts is a breast augmentation procedure that creates a fuller cleavage, using your own body fat instead of implants. An additional benefit of breast augmentation with fat transfer is that it sculpts the breasts as well as the part of the body where fat is being removed.
Fat transfer to breasts is ideal for you if you want to subtly enhance your breast size.

During your pre-operative consultation, Dr Mitsakos will assess potential donor sites, such as the outer thigh, buttocks or abdomen, and will choose the best location, based on your personal needs.
For the procedure, fat is removed from the donor site using a gentle suction technique that aims to avoid damaging the fat cells. The harvested fat is then injected into the breasts through small incisions, until the desired amount of breast enlargement you wish is achieved.
In certain situations, you may need to spend the night in the hospital for optimal healing and specialised supervision. After you are discharged, we will schedule several follow-up appointments with your surgeon and nurse to ensure your breast augmentation recovery period is as smooth as possible.
Hybrid
Breast Augmentation
Every woman’s breasts are unique, and every woman has a different desired shape and form. Some women may prefer subtle and natural-looking results from fat transfer for breast augmentation, while others may benefit more from breast implants.
A Hybrid Breast Augmentation procedure offers the best of both worlds if you desire a customised solution. By combining these two techniques, the procedure provides a tailored result that is proportionate to your body shape and size, with minimal risks.

A Hybrid Breast Augmentation is ideal for you if you prefer smaller implants with more natural-looking results and if you wish to have the additional benefits of repurposing fat tissues to integrate with existing breast tissue, enhancing the overall shape and volume of your breasts.
The Hybrid Breast Augmentation procedure typically takes over 2 hours and is performed under general anaesthesia. The recovery time varies depending on the extent of the procedure, but most patients can return to their daily activities within a week or two.
As a leading surgeon in various kinds of breast augmentation treatments in London and an expert at several cosmetic techniques, Dr Mitsakos’ personal approach gives you a natural and sophisticated aesthetic look, based on your individual needs, restoring your confidence in your appearance.
Mastopexy
(Breast Uplift)
Droopy breasts can often lead to lower confidence. Having breast uplift surgery can make your breasts look perkier and more youthful, instantly boosting your self-image.
Breast mastopexy, commonly known as breast lift surgery is a procedure carried out to lift the breasts and restore their shape to create a firmer feel and position them higher.

You may also opt for autologous breast augmentation, along with this procedure, which gives you the effect of having implants but without implants! In this procedure, the existing breast tissue is reshaped in a way that gives you a fuller cleavage and well shaped breast. This is typically a ‘day case’ procedure, where you can go home on the same day as the surgery.
The primary cause of sagging breasts is the stretching and weakening of the skin and fibrous ligaments in the breast, which reduces support.
Mastopexy includes removing excess breast tissues and skin as well as repositioning the nipple into a higher position.
A breast uplift procedure can take anywhere from 2-4 hours depending on the skin to be removed and reshaped. Once the desired shape and look are achieved the incisions are closed using dissolvable stitches for the best comfort and to reduce mastopexy scars.
In some cases for mastopexy or breast reduction surgery, you may need to stay at the hospital overnight so our dedicated medical team can be on hand to ensure the best possible healing. To ensure satisfying results and monitor mastopexy recovery, you will be invited to attend a number of follow-up appointments following your discharge to assess how well your new breasts are healing.
Mastopexy surgery can do wonders for all women who wish to rejuvenate their breasts to have a well-defined shape and naturally perkier breasts. This surgery is popular amongst women with asymmetrical breasts caused by weight loss, those that are facing the after-effects of childbirth, or those that have droopy breasts due to natural ageing. It is important to understand that breast uplift surgery only fixes drooping breasts without enlarging them or increasing volume. However, a breast lift surgery combined with a breast implant surgery can have incredible results, making mastopexy costs worth every penny.
Dr Mitsakos addresses your specific needs, assesses your personal suitability for procedures and then advises personalised treatment plans, making us the one of the leading surgeons in breast uplift treatments in the UK.
Breast Reduction
The size, shape, and framing of your breasts can significantly impact how you look or feel. Inharmonious bodies with heavier breasts can make women feel uncomfortable. What’s more, larger breasts can cause back pain, neck pain and a variety of psychological trauma.

A mammoplasty or a breast reduction is an ideal solution for any woman with large breasts wanting to reduce her breasts in size, volume or weight. Breast reduction surgery can give relief from unwanted attention, improve self-esteem, ensure freedom from medical issues such as back and shoulder pain or simply being able to find clothes that fit better.
Breast reduction surgery involves removal of excess fat, breast tissue, and skin to match the desired size. Following this procedure, the nipple is repositioned using dissolvable stitches to create a perfect finished look with minimal breast reduction scars. Breast reduction can take anywhere between 2-4 hours depending on the size of your breasts and the size you are wanting to achieve.
Based on your individual recovery, you may need to stay at the hospital overnight under the supervision of our dedicated medical team to ensure your healing. Following your discharge, you will be invited back to attend a number of follow-up appointments to monitor your recovery and to help minimise common problems after breast reduction surgery.
Dr Antonios takes into consideration your complete medical history and examines several aspects of your breasts to create personalised treatment plans.
Motiva Implants®
Why Motiva breast implants?
Dr Antonios Mitsakos uses Motiva breast implants, one of the leading suppliers of premium breast implants on the market, to help you get the look you desire.
Motiva breast implants are chosen for their innovative technology, advanced manufacturing practices, and dedication to patient safety.

· Motiva Implants are sold in close to 80 countries and have been on the market for nearly a decade.
· Biocompatibility: their advanced smooth surface, known as SmoothSilk®/SilkSurface®, is associated with low inflammation and the formation of thin, membranous capsules as opposed to uncomfortable, thick, fibrous capsules.
· Motiva has established safety and performance in its products. Six years after implantation in a controlled clinical study, Motiva Implants were associated with no late seromas, capsular contractures, or double capsules.
· High patient satisfaction: in the same study, 100% of all patients reported being somewhat, very, or extremely satisfied with their Motiva Implants.
· Silicone gel options: ProgressiveGel® Plus (in Motiva Round and Anatomical TrueFixation implants) and ProgressiveGel Ultima® (in Ergonomix implants).
ProgressiveGel Plus offers a balanced elasticity and firmness, lending itself well to an appearance of youthful fullness at the upper pole of the breast.
ProgressiveGel Ultima is a softer, more elastic gel that provides a more natural appearance, feel, and dynamic (holding a round shape when lying down and assuming a teardrop shape when standing).
· First-of-its-kind safety features such as Qid® and BluSeal®:
Qid or Q Inside is an optional safety system. Motiva Implants with Qid come with an FDA-cleared microtransponder inside them, allowing healthcare providers to use an external, hand-held reader to non-invasively retrieve an implants’ electronic serial number (ESN) after implantation. The ESN is associated with important information about the implant that can be used to guide healthcare decisions and identify the implant in the highly unlikely event of a recall. An experienced imaging technician only needs to modify their technique during MRI or CT to fully visualize an implant with Qid.
BluSeal: All Motiva Implants are made with a patented BluSeal barrier layer – making Motiva the only breast implant brand in the world with a lightly tinted (with biocompatible dyes) blue barrier layer that allows for visual inspection to ensure the integrity of the entire implant shell. BluSeal assures 100% uniformity of the implant shell’s barrier layer, which prevents the release of defective products from our facilities and prevents silicone gel diffusion into the body after implantation.
· The rheological properties (elasticity, viscosity, viscoelasticity) of Motiva implants enable easier implant insertion through smaller incisions.
· Always Confident Warranty® and replacement policy:
Establishment Labs provides a limited warranty covering its Motiva Implants product range, supplying a replacement product in the event of rupture for the lifetime of the implant.
Establishment Labs assists in cases of capsular contracture Baker Grades III and IV through its product replacement policy program.
Additionally, two different Extended Warranty Programs are available for our products, in the event of a rupture or capsular contracture Baker Grades III or IV, which may provide financial assistance applicable to the revision surgery in the event of implant replacement:
For Motiva Implants® with Q Inside® Safety Technology, the 5Y Motiva® Program may provide up to £2,500 financial assistance per affected implant.
For Motiva Implants® without Q Inside® Safety Technology, the 2Y Motiva® Program may provide up to £1,000 financial assistance per affected implant.
