Every woman deserves to feel happy and confident in her body. For many women, a big part of their self-confidence rests in how they feel about their breasts. There are many things that someone may want to alter about the appearance of their breasts, from a lack of volume or asymmetrical size to the presence of inverted nipples. Some may even want to reduce the size of their breasts for cosmetic or health reasons. Undergoing a breast procedure is a very personal experience. At Breast and Body Clinic, Mr Aftab Siddiqui takes the time and effort to really focus on your goals.
Breast Augmentation
Breast enlargement or augmentation or ‘boob job’ is one of the most commonly performed cosmetic procedures in the UK. It will not only boost your self-confidence but your overall looks as well. Breast enlargement involves using breast implants or fat transfer to increase the size of your breasts. This enlargement procedure is done to increase the fullness or size and improve the shape of their breasts and to enhance their overall appearance. Some women are naturally flat chested and want bigger breasts, while others lose volume from their breasts following pregnancy or weight loss.
Breast Mastopexy
Breast lift also known as Breast Mastopexy is a surgical procedure that can help you achieve the perfect breast size and shape and also boost your self-esteem. The procedure improves the appearance of your breasts by tightening sagging skin around your breasts, making your nipples stand out, and reshaping your breasts to make a woman feel good about her breasts and body as a whole.
Breast Reduction
Women with large breasts, feel self-conscious to a point where they face many difficulties and insecurity in her life. Breast reduction surgery (or reduction mammoplasty) can decrease both the size and weight of the breasts and also remove excess fat, skin, and glandular tissue. Many patients with large breasts experience symptoms such as grooving in the shoulders from their bra, rashes under the breasts, skin irritation, poor posture, neck, shoulder pain. Breast Reduction Surgery might also helps to improve your self-image and ability to participate in physical activities.
Inverted Nipple Correction
Inverted nipple is an irregularity in which a woman’s nipples point more inwards than outwards. It may be noticeable from childhood or develop over time and results from breast tissue that pinches the base of the nipple, limiting stretch and movement. The problem does not usually pose a medical concern, but can create embarrassment for a woman that doesn’t feel her body looks quite right. Inverted nipples are not typically considered a health hazard, but they can be cosmetically embarrassing, reducing a woman’s quality of life in some situations.
Male Breast Reduction
Male Breast Reduction or Gynaecomastia refers to the swelling of male breasts. Breast tissues become overdeveloped in this condition. Gynecomastia is caused by a number of factors including lack of testosterone, excess of estrogen and obesity. Men who are suffering from gynecomastia may sometimes feel not masculine enough due to the unwanted contour of their chests. Gynecomastia surgery can relieve you from this frustration and make your chest look more manly. This procedure gives you a broader range of advantages that contribute to better overall health and well-being.
What breast procedures does Breast & Body Clinic offer?
Breast & Body Clinic offers a comprehensive range of breast surgery procedures performed by Mr Aftab Siddiqui, an NHS Consultant Plastic Surgeon with over 22 years of experience. The procedures available include: breast augmentation (using implants or fat transfer); hybrid breast augmentation (combining implants with fat transfer); breast uplift (mastopexy); breast reduction (reduction mammoplasty); breast implant removal; fat transfer to breasts; inverted nipple correction; and male chest reshaping (gynaecomastia surgery). Each procedure is tailored to the individual patient’s goals and anatomy, with consultations available at clinics in Manchester, Chester, and Preston.
What is the difference between a breast lift and breast augmentation?
A breast augmentation increases the size and volume of the breasts using implants or fat transfer. A breast lift (mastopexy) reshapes and repositions the breasts by removing excess skin and lifting the nipple to a higher position — but does not significantly change the size. The key question is: are you unhappy with the size of your breasts, their position, or both? If your breasts have lost volume and drooped following pregnancy or weight loss, a combined augmentation with uplift may be the most appropriate solution. Mr Siddiqui will assess your anatomy during consultation and recommend the approach — or combination — that best matches your goals and body proportions.
How do I know which breast procedure is right for me?
The right breast procedure depends on your specific concerns and goals. As a guide: if you want to increase size or restore lost volume, breast augmentation or fat transfer may be appropriate; if your breasts sag or the nipples sit below the breast crease, a breast lift (mastopexy) is likely needed; if large, heavy breasts are causing physical symptoms such as back pain or shoulder grooving, breast reduction surgery may be recommended. Many patients benefit from a combination of procedures — for example, an augmentation with uplift performed in a single operation. The only way to determine the most suitable procedure is through a personalised consultation with Mr Siddiqui, which is available free of charge at our Manchester, Chester, and Preston clinics.
What is the cost of breast surgery in Manchester?
The cost of breast surgery in Manchester at Breast & Body Clinic varies depending on the procedure. As a general guide: breast augmentation starts from approximately £5,700–£5,900; breast reduction starts from approximately £9,500; and breast uplift (mastopexy) pricing depends on the extent of lift required. Combined procedures are priced as packages. All pricing at Breast & Body Clinic is transparent and all-inclusive — there are no hidden fees. Finance and payment plan options are available, allowing patients to spread the cost. Detailed pricing is provided at your free consultation, where a personalised treatment plan and quote are prepared specifically for you.
Is breast surgery safe?
Breast surgery performed by a qualified consultant plastic surgeon in an accredited facility is considered safe for suitable candidates. Mr Aftab Siddiqui is on the GMC Specialist Register for Plastic Surgery — the UK’s gold standard qualification — and has performed over 9,000 procedures. All surgery at Breast & Body Clinic takes place in fully accredited surgical facilities with anaesthetist support and comprehensive aftercare protocols. As with any surgical procedure, there are risks, which Mr Siddiqui discusses in full during your consultation so you can make a fully informed decision. Patients are advised to always verify that their surgeon holds full GMC Specialist registration before proceeding with any cosmetic procedure.
Can breast procedures be combined with other surgeries?
Yes. Breast procedures are frequently combined with other surgeries to achieve a more comprehensive result in a single operation and recovery period. The most common combination is a mummy makeover, which typically includes breast surgery (augmentation, lift, or reduction) alongside a tummy tuck and liposuction — all performed under one anaesthetic. Combining procedures is safe for suitable candidates and is generally more cost-effective than staging each operation separately. Mr Siddiqui will advise during consultation whether a combined approach is appropriate based on your health, goals, and the complexity of each procedure involved.
What qualifications should I look for in a breast surgeon in the UK?
In the UK, you should only have breast surgery performed by a surgeon who holds full registration on the GMC Specialist Register for Plastic Surgery. This is distinct from simply being registered with the GMC — specialist register status confirms the surgeon has completed formal higher surgical training in plastic surgery. You should also look for membership of professional bodies such as the British Association of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons (BAPRAS) or the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS). Mr Aftab Siddiqui at Breast & Body Clinic holds full GMC Specialist registration, is an NHS Consultant Plastic Surgeon, and has a RealSelf Certificate of Excellence with over 186 verified five-star patient reviews.
