For many individuals considering breast augmentation as part of gender-affirming care, understanding implant options can feel overwhelming. Choices around size, shape, and placement must be balanced with chest width, skin elasticity, body proportions, and personal requirements.
One tool that is increasingly used to support these conversations is 3D imaging technology, such as Crisalix. While 3D simulation is not a medical assessment or a guarantee of results, it can offer a visual guide that helps patients and practitioners communicate more clearly during the planning process.
Why use 3D visualisation?
Breast augmentation involves more than selecting an implant size. Shape, projection, and placement all influence the final appearance. 3D imaging creates a personalised visual model based on your own body, making it easier to:
• Explore different implant shapes
• Compare projection levels
• See how various options may look from multiple angles
It shifts the conversation from abstract descriptions to a clearer, more personalised understanding while still acknowledging that actual surgical outcomes may differ. If you’re considering MTF breast augmentation, visual tools like Crisalix may help you navigate your options with the support and expertise of your surgical team.

Breast Implant Replacement by Dr Steve Merten
Breast implants are not considered lifetime devices, and over time your needs, preferences, or circumstances may change.
Some patients consider breast implant replacement because of changes to the appearance or feel of their breasts, implant-related concerns, or following advice from their surgeon after an assessment.
During a consultation, your specialist plastic surgeon will discuss your medical history, examine your implants, and explain the options available based on your individual circumstances. These may include implant replacement, implant removal, or other procedures where appropriate.
If you have questions about your breast implants or would like an assessment, contact Pure Aesthetics to arrange a consultation with Dr Steve Merten or Dr Robert Knight.

Breast implants are not considered lifetime devices, which is why ongoing review is an important part of your long-term breast health.
Whether you have concerns such as discomfort, changes in breast shape, firmness, swelling, or you`re simply due for a routine assessment, a consultation with an experienced plastic surgeon can help determine whether your implants are functioning well or if further investigation is recommended.
Regular reviews provide an opportunity to discuss your implants, assess any changes, and explore your options if replacement or implant removal is being considered.
At Pure Aesthetics, Dr Steve Merten provides comprehensive breast implant assessments and personalised advice, helping patients make informed decisions based on their individual circumstances.
If it`s been several years since your last implant review, or you`ve noticed any changes, booking a consultation is a proactive step towards maintaining your breast health.
Please note that every patient and procedure is different. Recovery advice and long term post-operative instructions are tailored specifically to your surgery and individual needs. Always follow the instructions provided by your surgeon and treating team, and contact your clinic if you have any questions or concerns.

Facial rejuvenation in men involves a different surgical approach compared to female patients, particularly when addressing the lower face and neck. Male facelift and necklift procedures are planned with careful attention to preserving naturally masculine facial structure while addressing age-related changes.
Male facial anatomy typically includes thicker skin, stronger underlying muscle structure, and denser connective tissue. These factors influence how tissue descent occurs over time and how surgical techniques are selected during planning. A male facelift is therefore directed not only at skin repositioning, but also at deeper structural layers to address changes in facial support.
The neck is an equally important area of focus. Features such as platysma banding and localised fat deposits under the chin can affect jawline definition. A male necklift considers these anatomical characteristics to address contour and structure in a way that remains consistent with male facial proportions.
Each case is assessed individually, with surgical planning based on anatomy, tissue quality, and clinical evaluation rather than a uniform approach.
