Breast augmentation, told straight by someone who's had it.

Editorial Policy

Last updated: June 1, 2026

We are committed to accurate, useful, and honest information about breast augmentation, including a frank account of the risks. This page explains how we work.

How articles are created

Articles are researched and written using authoritative sources, such as the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS), the FDA, the NHS, and peer-reviewed research, which we cite at the foot of every article.

Medical review

Articles covering clinical topics are reviewed by a consultant plastic surgeon before publication. Reviewed articles display the reviewer’s name, credentials, and the date of review. Our current reviewer is Miss Charlotte Vane, MBBS, FRCS(Plast).

Honesty about risk and independence

We do not accept payment to recommend any clinic, surgeon, or destination, and we do not gloss over complications: implant risks such as capsular contracture, rupture, BIA-ALCL, and breast implant illness are covered plainly. Any future commercial relationships will be disclosed clearly.

Keeping content current

We review articles periodically and update them as guidance and evidence change. Each article shows its publication date and, where applicable, when it was last updated or reviewed.

Corrections

If you spot an error, please tell us via our Contact page and we will review it promptly.
