Breast Uplift Question: Dear Aurora Clinics, I previously had breast uplift surgery in Scotland along with a reduction on my right breast to create better symmetry.

Ask The Plastic Surgeon Question: Dear Aurora Clinics, I have been watching your nipple reduction videos and noticed that your surgeon presses the nipple to ascertain if there is adequate blood supply to this region.

Question: I have 22 year-old 300ml silicone implants which have caused me no problem over the years until November 2011 when I had a rupture.

Question: I had breast enlargement surgery at a London clinic in December last year. However, my left breast implant did not properly drop into the pocket, so there was a slight gap between the bottom of the implant and the incision. It sat flat against my chest instead of the crease, if that makes sense. […]
Question: Aurora Clinics have been recommended as specialists in the field of breast enlargement surgery. My breast augmentation surgery was carried out in London in December last year.

Question: I have inverted nipples which only protrude temporarily if I pull them outwards really hard. I have learned that during inverted nipple correction the surgeon removes the ducts.
