There is beauty to be found in the vast variations in breast size, shape, proportion and position. Still, despite this incredible natural diversity, some women are dissatisfied with the natural appearance of their breasts, and others are concerned with the changes that accompany ageing, genetics, weight fluctuation and cancer treatment.

If you are considering a breast enhancement surgery, trust in Dr Damon Thomas to help you evaluate your options and design a treatment plan that suits your goals. Whether you’re looking for smaller breasts or an increase in volume, he offers an array of breast procedures that can be catered to your unique needs and desires.

Here are four of the most popular ways we can enhance your breasts.

BREAST AUGMENTATION

If your goal is to increase the size and volume of your breasts, a breast augmentation may be your solution. Also known as augmentation mammoplasty or a “boob job”, this procedure uses implants to create fuller, more shapely and/or more symmetrical breasts. There are several different choices to consider before receiving a breast enlargement.

During a consultation for your breast augmentation procedure, you will meet with Dr Thomas to determine the type of implant that is best for you. He will also help you decide the right size, style and position of the implant, as well as where to make the incisions. We want you to feel confident in your care, so we try to involve you in the decision-making process as much as possible.

BREAST LIFT

Over time, ageing and extreme weight loss can cause the tissues on your breasts to sag and weaken. If this sounds familiar, you may wish to consider a surgical breast lift with Dr Thomas. Also referred to as a mastopexy, this procedure gets rid of sagging skin and lifts your breasts into a more youthful-looking position. We can effectively move and reshape your breast tissue and lift the areolas to a higher position.

While you may experience some improvements in firmness and symmetrical placement, it’s important to note that a breast lift procedure is not the best option for volume restoration. Unlike a breast augmentation, a breast lift does not involve an implant. This makes breast lift surgery a more suitable option for those who are not seeking increased size as part of their breast rejuvenation.

BREAST REDUCTION

If you are looking to increase your breast size, it may seem odd to you that there are women out there who wish to do the opposite: reduce them. But those with an overly large bust will tell you that the extra weight can cause some serious pain on the back, neck and shoulders.

If you are looking to make everyday activities like walking more comfortable and want to reduce your breast size, a breast reduction by Dr Thomas may be a powerful choice. Not only can he enhance your breast-to-body ratio, but he is also able to reshape the breasts and add symmetry to the areolas.

BREAST RECONSTRUCTION

 It is not easy giving up a part of your body if you are undergoing cancer treatment. If you decide you’d like to reconstruct your breasts, Dr Thomas is here to help. A breast reconstruction is a procedure that typically takes place after the lumpectomy or mastectomy but it is also possible to do it at the same time.

We will aim to restore your breasts to a natural-looking shape and size that is proportionate with your frame. Each case is different, and depending on what is needed, we may use implants to emulate the breasts’ appearance. Prior to the reconstruction, you will have the opportunity to sit down with Dr Thomas and discuss your options.

No matter your breast concerns, Dr Thomas can help create a more proportionate and shapely physique. We know that your body is unique and we will gladly take the necessary time to answer your individual questions. Call on (03) 9034 7738 to schedule a consultation today.

 


MAKING AN INFORMED DECISION

Our website is intended to provide general information about cosmetic breast surgery and should not be used as a substitute for personalised medical advice. It is important to consult with a qualified plastic surgeon to determine if breast enhancement is right for you. The following considerations should be part of your decision-making process.

Risks

All surgical procedures carry risk. The potential risks and complications associated with breast surgery include, but are not limited to, bleeding, infection, changes in nipple or breast sensation, asymmetry, poor scarring and the need for additional surgery. It is important to understand the risks involved and weigh up the benefits and drawbacks of surgery before undergoing a breast enhancement procedure.

Recovery

Recovery time after breast surgery may vary depending on the individual, the extent of the procedure, and the technique used. In general, patients should be prepared to experience some discomfort, swelling, and bruising after surgery. Patients must also be prepared to take time off work and other activities (including exercise) and follow Dr Thomas’ post-operative instructions to promote proper healing and minimise the risk of complications.

Results

Individual results may vary depending on a number of factors, including the patient’s natural breast tissue and the surgical technique employed. It is critical to have realistic expectations about the outcome of breast enhancement surgery and understand that each patient’s outcome will be unique. It is also important to know that cosmetic breast surgery may require revision and cannot stop the ageing process.
