Elena Prousskaia is one of the country’s leading breast surgeons and should be your first choice for breast enlargement in London.
Elena and her highly skilled surgical team offer safe and affordable breast enlargement surgery at her plastic surgery in London at the Welbeck Hospital, conveniently located near Harley Street in central London. Elena Prousskaia is an award-winning aesthetic and plastic surgeon with successful clinics in London and throughout the UK offering a wide range of aesthetic and plastic surgery procedures.
Breast enlargement is one of the most popular cosmetic surgery procedures in the UK and is relatively straightforward when undertaken by a skilled surgeon. The procedure involves the insertion of an implant under the breast tissue or the chest muscle to increase the size of the breast. Many women choose to increase the size of their breasts as they find that it improves their self-confidence and body image.
As one of the very few female plastic surgeons in the UK, Elena brings a feminine perspective to her work with breast surgery patients. Elena understands that women’s breasts can be integral to their feeling of femininity and their self-esteem. This empathy is combined with an award-winning career in plastic and aesthetic surgery spanning nearly two decades, including several years as an NHS Consultant in Plastic and Reconstructive surgery. The London clinic is one of several highly successful clinics across the UK, offering a range of aesthetic surgeries.
All breast surgery patients will have a consultation to discuss the procedure and the result they would like from their breast enlargement. The type of implant used will contribute a great deal to the final effect. Implants can be either round or tear-shaped, and Elena will discuss the size and shape of the implant that will best complement your weight, body shape and existing breast tissue.
A general anaesthetic is required for this procedure, and the actual surgery will take about an hour to ninety minutes. The surgeon will insert the implant through an incision in the crease under your breast. Sometimes the incision is made under the arm or around the nipple, depending on your physiology and medical history. You will discuss these surgical decisions during your preoperative consultations with Elena.
You will need to stay in the hospital overnight after breast enlargement in London. Your breasts may feel tight initially, but this is temporary. Most patients find that their pain is well-controlled by the painkillers that the clinic provides, and any discomfort should not last long.
Although breast enlargement surgery is a safe and straightforward procedure, it is essential to give your body time to heal afterwards. For this reason, it is recommended that you should take four weeks off work. Sports and any everyday activities likely to exert the chest area such as hoovering and dog walking should be avoided for four to six weeks after the procedure. More strenuous activity such as weightlifting is best avoided altogether for eight to twelve months. You will be able to discuss your activity level in more detail with Elena at your follow-up appointment.
Most patients find that their incisions heal quickly and the remaining scars should have faded considerably twelve months after the surgery.
The initial consultation cost will start at £200, and the total cost of the procedure, hospital stay, and aftercare will start at £6380. However, prices will vary according to your specific requirements and the cost of your surgery will only be confirmed after your initial consultation.
Elena Prousskaia’s London clinic is based in the private Welbeck Hospital which has been a leading centre for plastic surgery in London since the 1990s.The hospital is conveniently situated in the centre of London near Harley Street, renowned internationally as the home of medical expertise for over a century.

Normally, after a one-night stay, you would go home once the drains are removed. You may feel tightness of your breasts after this surgery. This is normal and it will improve gradually. You should avoid all sport activities, housework such as hovering, driving, dog walking for at least 4-6 weeks following surgery and any weight lifting or strenuous activities for up to 8-12 months following the surgery. The visibility of your scars will depend on the technique used and on the biological response of your body to surgery and healing. Generally the scars after this type of surgery are almost invisible by the end of the year. Patients can benefit from taking four weeks off work, and after you have seen Ms Prousskaia for your four weeks follow up you can discuss beginning a gym routine focused on lower body strength.
The Elena Prousskaia Clinic prides itself on the quality of its aftercare so we’ll make absolutely sure you know what to expect, and how much rest is needed. We’ll give you specific instructions that may include how to care for your breasts following surgery, medications to apply or take orally to aid healing and reduce the risk of infection, and when to follow-up with Elena.
Please visit our fees page for more information.
While complications with surgery are infrequent, no surgical procedure is without risks. Among the possible complications are scars, infection, haematoma, implant displacement, breast asymmetry and implant rupture. Elena will provide you with further information with the risks and provide you with a detailed consent form during your consultations. This will help you to minimise the risks.
Generally speaking this surgery takes around 60-90 minutes, although this varies depending on the nature of the procedure.
After surgery it is normal to experience some discomfort, the level of which varies widely amongst patients. There is rarely prolonged pain unless there is a complication and in all cases you will be prescribed pain medication.
The shape of implants can be round or anatomical (teardrop). Both can provide an excellent result. The outer shell and the filling may vary depending on the manufacturer. Miss Prousskaia has never used PIP implants in her practice and she will offer you high quality implants from the best manufacturers. You will discuss with Miss Prousskaia which specific shape and size of implant would give you the optimal result. You should know that in the European Union (EU) 95% of implants used for breast augmentation are made of silicone gel and only 5% contains other type of fillings such as saline. Mentor Silicone Gel-Filled Breast Implants are devices with shells constructed from silicone elastomer. The shell is filled with MemoryGel®, Mentor’s proprietary formulation of silicone gel.
Ms Elena Prousskaia has been carrying out aesthetic and plastic surgery procedures for more than 20 years. Elena trained for eight years in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and since then has held leading Fellowships around the world and specialised in breast surgery procedures, whether a patient is having the procedure for purely aesthetic reasons or as part of breast reconstruction. As an NHS Consultant Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon at Southmead Hospital, she dedicated several years to complex microsurgical reconstruction and general plastic surgery. During this time at North Bristol Trust, she particularly enjoyed rebuilding patients who suffered from breast cancer giving them their body and confidence back. At present, Ms Prousskaia runs her own successful private practice performing full range of plastic and aesthetic surgery for face, body and breast. Elena Prousskaia consults in several clinics around the South West. Please see the ‘Our Locations’ tab in the menu for exact addresses or call us to discuss your closest location.
Elena prides herself on taking the time to truly understand a patient’s aims and discussing what result will work best given the patient’s body shape and size. Although good results are expected, the body is not symmetric and almost everyone has some degree of unevenness, which may not be recognized in advance. The more realistic your expectations as to results, the better your results will be in your eye. You will have at least two consultations with Elena where she ensures that she meets your expectations and she will always try to achieve your desired results.
Elena does not operate on patients that regularly smoke or vape. To be considered for this procedure you must refrain from smoking or vaping for 3 months before and after your surgery.
