Thinking about breast reconstruction after mastectomy or previous surgery?

You might be hoping for more than a flat scar. You might want softness that feels like you, natural symmetry, a ni**le that sits where it should, a tummy that looks and moves comfortably in daily life.

It’s requests we hear and address a lot - that is why many women choose a DIEP flap at Manchester Plastic Surgery, using your own abdominal tissue to rebuild the breast and refine the tummy at the same time.

With our surgeon Dr Ben Baker, planning is detailed and honest, from the shape you want to ni**le position and belly button design. Our goal is always a result that looks balanced, feels natural and fits your life, with close follow up throughout healing so you feel supported at every step.

If you are exploring preventative or therapeutic mastectomy, or you live with asymmetry after children or previous surgery, we can talk you through your options in plain English. Book a free consultation in Manchester today.

❓ What is true, and what is just noise

Myth → Reality:

“Surgery is a shortcut for weight loss.” → Surgery often refines shape after weight change or pregnancy.
“Results are instant.” → Swelling, bruising and scar maturation take weeks to months.
“Any GMC registered doctor can do this.” → Choose a surgeon on the GMC Specialist Register for Plastic Surgery and a BAAPS member is a much safer choice in terms of both safety and quality of results.
“Implants last forever.” → Implants should be treated as medical devices, plan routine check ups and long term care.
“A good surgeon always says yes.” → Sometimes the safest plan is not now, timing matters. Sometimes, the answer is no, and we’ll tell you that too.

Here’s some of what we looks for before we say yes:

• A steady weight and a lifestyle you can maintain
• Clear, realistic goals and honest conversation about risks
• Support at home and time set aside for recovery

Sorting fact from fiction is the first step to feeling confident about your decision. Want straight answers tailored to your body and your life in the UK? Book a free consultation in Manchester.

❓ Why does your weight need to be steady before surgery

In Dr Ben Baker’s words, timing matters as much as technique. When your weight is stable, your surgeon can plan precisely, your recovery is smoother, and your results last longer. Big swings in weight change measurements, skin support and implant or reduction sizing, which can impact symmetry and longevity.

What we look for at Manchester Plastic Surgery:
• A settled weight for a period of time, usually several months
• A healthy lifestyle you can maintain after surgery
• A plan that fits real life, work, family and recovery

Still on a weight loss journey or recently postpartum? It can be smarter to wait until you have plateaued, then build a timeline together. If you want clear advice on when to book and how to prepare, schedule a free consultation in Manchester.

Implants are not forever. Your peace of mind should be.

If you have breast implants, make check ups part of your routine. Small changes can be normal during healing, but new changes deserve a closer look.

Book a Breast Implant Check Up in Manchester if you notice:

• Sudden size or shape change
• Tightness, pain or swelling
• Rippling or new asymmetry
• Hardening or a “firm shell” feeling
• Any concern that is worrying you
• If it’s been over 10 years

What we do at your check up:

• Review your implant details and medical history
• Examine breast shape, softness and scars
• Discuss symptoms in plain English
• Arrange imaging when appropriate
• Create a clear follow up or treatment plan

You do not need to be an existing patient - and it’s worth knowing, that all our surgeons are full BAAPS members.

❓ What is the difference between reconstructive surgery and aesthetic surgery, and who are they for?

👉 Reconstructive surgery restores form and function after change, injury or illness.

Think abdominal wall repair after pregnancy, revision of complications from previous surgery, scar improvement, skin lesion removal and selected breast reconstruction to correct shape or symmetry. The goal is to help your body work and look like itself again.

👉 Aesthetic surgery refines appearance when everything is healthy, but you want a different shape or balance.

Examples include breast augmentation with , breast lift or reduction, tummy tuck, rhinoplasty and facelift. The goal is natural harmony that suits your features and your life.

At Manchester Plastic Surgery we offer both, and all our surgeons are full BAAPS members.

If you are unsure which path fits your situation, we will guide you with clear, honest advice and a personalised plan at a totally free consultation in our Manchester hospital clinic.

❓ What does “perfect” really mean in plastic surgery

Imagine if you were promised “perfect,” left the clinic glowing, then hit week two. Swelling has peaked, one side sits higher than the other, your scar is pink and your sensation feels strange. Without context, panic sets in. With clear expectations, you know this is exactly how healing looks at this stage and you can relax into the process.

At Manchester Plastic Surgery we manage expectations so your result feels right for you, not for a trend. That means:

• Honest conversations about your goals, trade offs and what success looks like for your body
• Careful measurements and planning, including 3D visualisation where helpful
• Reviewing similar before and afters so you understand the likely range of outcomes
• Clear timelines for swelling, scar maturation and sensation changes
• Space to pause, reflect and ask every question before you decide

Perfection is a filter. Success is a balanced, natural result that fits your face or body and your life.

You open Instagram and see two clinic ads. One shouts prices. The other has five quiet letters: BAAPS.

That small badge is a big shortcut. It tells you the surgeon is a fully trained consultant plastic surgeon who operates in hospital settings, is held to strict ethical standards and keeps their results under regular audit.

When you sit down with a BAAPS surgeon you get time, straight answers and space to think. No pressure, just a plan that fits your body and your life.

At Manchester Plastic Surgery every operation is specialist led and every surgeon is a full BAAPS member, with focused expertise in breast, body or face. If you want real clarity before you decide, book a free consultation in Manchester today.

❓ What does recovery after breast surgery really look? Our expert & surgeon Dr Benjamin Baker breaks it down into information you can actually understand.

Here is a simple, honest roadmap. Every body heals differently, your surgeon will personalise this for you.

➡️ Days 1 to 3: Rest, short walks around the house, surgical bra on day and night, sleep slightly elevated, take medications as directed, keep hydration and nutrition up.

➡️ Week 1: First check in at clinic, gentle arm movements only, showering usually allowed once dressings permit, focus on wound care exactly as advised.

➡️ Weeks 2 to 3: Many patients feel ready for light desk work, driving when you are comfortable and off strong pain medication, no lifting heavier than a kettle, keep the support bra on.

➡️ Weeks 4 to 6: Gradual return to everyday activity, light lower body exercise is usually fine, avoid chest workouts until your surgeon signs off, continue scar care and massage if recommended.

➡️ Week 6 plus: Swelling keeps reducing, implants or lifted tissue begin to settle into a more natural position, sensitivity changes start to improve.

➡️ Months 3 to 12: Shape refines and softens, scars fade from pink to paler tones, your final result becomes clear over time.

Breast lift and reduction can have longer swelling and incision care, augmentation with implants often focuses on position and softness as they settle. Your plan, pain relief and check ins are tailored to you at Manchester Plastic Surgery.

❓ Is a mummy makeover just a tidy up, or true reconstruction?
