Dr Damon Thomas sees women every week who have breast enhancement as their primary goal. To help these women achieve the results they are looking for, Dr Thomas offers a variety of breast enhancement procedures to meet various needs, body proportions and desired outcomes. Check out these options in breast enhancement to find the procedure that fits your personal needs best.

BREAST AUGMENTATION

Breasts that are too small for the rest of your body proportions or have lost volume over time are a concern for many women. If you feel uncomfortable due to the size of your breasts, augmentation may be a good solution for you. This procedure uses synthetic implants, placed into the breast tissue, to add volume, shape and a more shapely body profile. Dr Thomas offers a variety of implant options and techniques so that he can customise every breast augmentation procedure to the unique needs and aesthetic goals of each of his patients.

BREAST REDUCTION

While some women lament that their breasts are too small, others struggle with the burdens of breasts that are too big. Heavy, pendulous breasts may affect your ability to participate in some activities and could lead to skin irritation as well as back and neck pain. By reducing the size of overly large breasts, Dr Thomas effectively creates a more proportionate body contour overall while reducing some of the uncomfortable symptoms associated with large breasts.

BREAST LIFT

In some cases, the size of the breasts is not as much of an issue as where they are positioned on the chest. Over time, perky breasts can begin to sag and droop due to a variety of factors, including weight fluctuations, pregnancy and breastfeeding, and the natural ageing process. A breast lift is a cosmetic surgery designed to restore the breasts to a firmer feel and more youthful position on the chest. 

BREAST RECONSTRUCTION

Women who battle breast cancer often lose one or both breasts during the process. Even when they manage to beat cancer, the changes to their body can be significant. A critical step in the healing process for many of these women is breast reconstruction to restore their breasts and their bodies. With advancements in breast enhancement techniques today, there are different paths to reconstruction that allow us to customise treatment to the unique needs of every patient. No matter what your medical concerns or your aesthetic goals might be, Dr Thomas will work with you and the rest of your medical team to ensure the results you achieve from breast reconstruction are natural and long-lasting.

The breasts are often a primary cosmetic concern for women today, but the good news is there are numerous surgical procedures to solve those aesthetic problems and create an improved body contour.

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.
