What is a Private Boob Job?
A private boob job—also known as breast enlargement surgery or breast augmentation—is a plastic surgery procedure carried out in a private healthcare setting such as the Nuffield Hospital in Plymouth or the Duchy Hospital in Truro. It typically involves placing implants (silicone or saline) beneath the breast tissue or chest muscles to increase size or improve shape.
This elective procedure is not usually available on the NHS unless it’s for reconstructive purposes following surgery, injury or developmental abnormalities, which is why many women choose to go private.

The cost of a private breast augmentation with Antony Fitton typically ranges from £7,600 to £11,500. The final cost depends on several factors, including:
- The surgeon’s experience and qualifications

Factors That Can Affect the Price of a Boob Job
When searching for private breast enlargement in Plymouth or Truro, it’s important to understand what can influence the overall cost:
1. Surgeon Expertise
A highly qualified consultant plastic surgeon with years of experience may charge more, but this often reflects the quality and safety of the care provided.
2. Clinic Facilities
Some clinics include enhanced aftercare, private recovery rooms, or 24/7 on-call nursing support as part of their premium pricing.
3. Implant Type and Brand
There are various implant types and manufacturers on the market. Higher-end implants with longer warranties or more natural feel may cost more.
4. Complexity of Surgery
In some cases, breast augmentation may be combined with a breast lift (mastopexy), which increases the price and surgical time.
