One of the latest trending topics in the world of cosmetic surgery is a breast surgical procedure that is performed in your work lunch time.
This is only a term coined by the fact the procedure takes little time to perform and is not necessarily performed in a person’s lunch time, but something they can undergo at any time of day.
The procedure currently goes under one of three titles – 24 hour boob job, lunch time boob job and ‘new overnight breasts’.
The craze started in America and has slowly seeped in to the UK in major cities such as Birmingham and Manchester.
What is Temporary Breast Enhancement?
A lunch time boob job is a temporary breast enhancement that is designed to make the breasts look more perky and plump for a onetime occasion or short period of time.
Also known as ‘instant boobs‘, this type of cosmetic procedure is a short term solution and is performed under local anaesthetic.
- The procedure involves an injection directly in to the breast tissue to ‘plump’ them up.
- The injection is a simple saline solution – salt water – and does not require the patient to be put to sleep.
- Injecting salt water in to the boobs can increase cup size by one to two cup sizes and is designed to not only plump the breasts but make the patient feel more confident.
- In addition, it is also used as a temporary measure to see whether or not a woman actually wants a permanent breast augmentation procedure. This is particularly useful if a woman is worried or has concerns about body shape and upper proportion when considering breast enlargement.
- The saline solution works by expanding the breast to a size desired by the patient. However, the procedure is not designed for boobs to go bigger than 2 cup sizes, depending on their natural size.
- Performing a ‘lunch time boob job’ takes around twenty minutes to half an hour and patients can usually go about their daily business afterwards, such as work or general activities.
- Ultimately, the procedure is a temporary solution to bigger breasts and lasts only 24-48 hours.
- The saline solution used in the injection is absorbed in to the body’s bloodstream after this time.
- This process begins after 24 hours and the boobs start to return back to their usual natural shape and size.
- Women are using this ‘temporary fix’ to fuller boobs almost like a fashion accessory. Something that can provide a quick enhancement to show off or match an item of clothing.
Understanding Breast Implant Shapes
There are two main boob job shapes used in modern cosmetic surgery: teardrop shaped and round.
Teardrop-Shaped Breast Implants
Often called anatomical implants, these mimic the natural slope of a teardrop shaped breast — fuller at the bottom and gently tapered at the top. They create a soft, realistic contour that closely resembles the natural breast.
Which Implant Shape Is Best for Your Body Type?
You may suit Teardrop-Shaped Implants if:
- You are slim with minimal natural breast tissue
- You prefer a subtle, natural enhancement
- You want an anatomical breast slope
- You have significant asymmetry or require reconstructive correction
You may suit Round Breast Implants if:
- You want fuller upper-pole volume
- You want noticeable cleavage
- You prefer a lifted, rounded appearance
- You already have moderate natural tissue
Natural-looking results come from choosing the implant shape that complements the individual body frame rather than following trends. My approach focuses on selecting the option that enhances the breast naturally while maintaining harmony with the patient’s proportions. – Dr Lopa Patel, Consultant Plastic Surgeon
