If you are looking to increase breast size, improve shape or lost volume then a Breast Augmentation is likely to be the right option. We offer a range of different Breast Augmentaton techniques including Breast Implants, Fat Transfer and Preservé Breast Augmentation.

Breast Augmentation

A Breast Augmentation is when breast implants are used to enlarge the size of the breast.

Ageing, pregnancy, breastfeeding and weight changes can cause breasts to lose firmness and sit lower down on the chest. A Breast Uplift procedure can help to lift the breast and realign the nipple for better positioning on the chest.

Breast Uplift

A Breast Uplift is designed to restore fuller-looking breasts and correct their positioning on the body for a more uplifted appearance.

If your breasts have lost both shape and fullness, a Breast Uplift combined with Implants may provide you with a result that is more aligned with your ideal goals.

Breast Lift with Enlargement

A Breast Enlargement combined with a Breast Uplift results in total breast rejuvenation by increasing volume and lifting the breast to a higher position.

Large breasts can cause a multitude of issues, including back, neck and shoulder pain, posture issues and difficulty finding clothing that fits comfortably. A Breast Reduction is a great option for patients looking to reduce the size and weight of their breasts.

Breast Reduction

A Breast Reduction procedure (also known as mammoplasty) is performed to reduce the overall size, weight and volume of your breasts.

Breast Asymmetry is quite common and usually not noticeable or anything to worry about, but in more severe cases, a more noticeable difference between size, shape or nipple placement can cause confidence issues. The right treatment for this concern usually depends on what the patient’s ideal outcome is.

Tuberous Breast Correction

Tuberous Breast Correction often involves a specialised procedure to release the constricted breast tissue.

Many patients wish to have their implants removed or replaced based on lifestyle changes, implant concerns, or a desire for a change in appearance.

Our Surgeons can help you make the right choice

One of the most common questions that we hear is “Which breast surgery procedure is right for me?” The answer to this depends on several factors, which include:

  • Your current breast size and shape
  • Your skin elasticity and existing breast tissue
  • Nipple position
  • Existing breast implants
  • Pregnancy & Breastfeeding history
  • Weight changes
  • Your desired outcome

During your consultation, your surgeon will assess all these factors and explain which treatment options are going to be suitable to help you make a more informed decision with complete confidence.

Common Breast Concerns

After Pregnancy and Breast Feeding

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding can lead to a loss of volume, stretched skin and/or breast sagging.

Most commonly recommended:

Goals: Restore shape, volume and confidence

Following Significant Weight Loss

Weight loss can leave the breasts appearing deflated with excess skin and reduction in volume.

Most commonly recommended:

Goals: Restore proportion and improve contour

Naturally Small Breasts

If you have always felt your breasts were smaller than you would like, then breast surgery can help to create more balance and improve confidence.

Most commonly recommended:

Goals: Increase breast volume whilst maintaining natural proportions

Large Heavy Breasts

Overly large breasts can affect comfort, posture, and overall quality of life.
