Dr. Bobby Kumar developed a passion for Cosmetic and Restorative Surgery, pursuing this interest by completing a post graduate Surgical Fellowship with the Australasian College of Cosmetic Surgery. This is the only training programme specifically in Cosmetic Surgery, incorporating both rigorous academic Surgical training and assessment, and 1:1 mentoring and teaching by Australia’s leading Cosmetic and Plastic Surgeons.
In addition to having the training, qualifications and experience, Dr. Bobby Kumar also has the underlying artistic ability necessary to understand and appreciate the principles and aesthetics of human anatomy. This is crucial in achieving the natural and aesthetically pleasing results that people are seeking through both Surgical and Non-Surgical Cosmetic Procedures.
For most patients, the decision to have Cosmetic Surgery is a significant and personal step. The goal is usually to enhance, improve, restore or correct an individual’s self image. This decision is not taken lightly at Bare Aesthetics Cosmetic Surgery Clinics or by Dr. Bobby Kumar, Cosmetic Surgeon; priority is given to providing patients with all the information required to make an informed decision that is right for them.
Dr. Bobby A. Kumar performs the following Cosmetic Surgery procedures:
Breast Augmentation (Enlargement)
Breast Augmentation is the cosmetic surgical procedure which results in Breast Enlargement by using Breast Implants (most commonly silicone breast implants). It is the most popular and common Cosmetic Surgery procedure performed today in Australia and internationally. This procedure can also, and rather unfortunately, be referred to as a “boob job”. This crude term is not one used by qualified and experienced Cosmetic Surgeons like Dr. Bobby Kumar who strive to achieve natural and desirable results.
The decision to pursue Breast Augmentation or a Breast Enlargement is a very personal decision made for a range of different reasons. Many women have small, droopy or irregular breast sizes and shapes. Consequently Breast Augmentation surgery provides them a way to achieve naturally full and flattering breasts, results not achieved merely through a “boob job”. For other women, Breast Implants provide a solution to address underdeveloped breasts that they have lived with their entire adult life. For many women, Breast Enlargement provides a means of restoring their breast volume and shape to their pre-pregnancy and breast feeding appearance.
Breast Augmentation is achieved by using either silicone or saline Breast Implants. The type of Breast Implant used differs on an individual basis; what is right for one woman varies from what is right for another. There are many decisions to make regarding size, shape, volume, texture or non-texture (Brazilian “furry” breast implants or P-URE Polyurethane breast Implants have become more widely known), projection and placement. These are discussed in detail with you in a consultation with Dr. Bobby Kumar taking into account your personal goals, existing size and shape and body stature.
Likewise the placement of the surgical incision when performing Breast Augmentation Surgery can be a very personal choice for women, and one about which they need to be fully informed with regards to the advantages and disadvantages of placement sites. The most common site for the incision is usually in the natural crease under the breast between the breast and the chest wall. Alternative incision sites are either around the border of the nipple and areolar complex and breast skin, or in the armpit crease. These last two sites tend to be much less common and have specific issues and limitations when performing Breast Augmentation. Read more>>
Breast Lift (Mastopexy)
Over time the breasts will droop and sag. For these women breast augmentation alone is not a solution as trying to affect a lift by way of a large breast implant will result in an augmented droopy breast rather than an aesthetic natural breast shape and volume.
A Breast Lift (mastopexy) with or without breast augmentation offers women an appropriate surgical option to return sagging, drooping breasts to a more natural and aesthetic breast shape and volume with an appropriately positioned nipple areolar complex.
A Breast Lift will involve incisions on the breasts which will take time to heal, eventually fading over time.
It is also recognised that breast lifting with a concomitant breast augmentation is difficult and has a range of particular complications which Dr. Bobby A. Kumar will discuss with the patient. Read more>>
Breast Reduction (Reduction Mammaplasty)
For some women who present with sagging, large breasts resulting in back and neck pains, skin infection and other physical symptoms, a breast reduction is required.
Breast reduction (reduction mammaplasty) reduces the breast volume and shape to a natural and for some women a perky shape. The nipple areolar complex is often reduced as this can be enlarged. As part of the process of reduction it is also relocated to the maximal point of projection of the breast.
There are many techniques described in the medical literature for reduction mammoplasty. Dr. Bobby A. Kumar is familiar with all of these techniques; however, he has found several techniques to produce far superior results. During your consultation for a Breast Reduction, Dr. Bobby A. Kumar will describe the technique best suited to achieve a natural aesthetic breast shape and volume for you.
The Breast Reduction incisions are similarly placed on the breast and these too will take time to heal fully and fade.
Breast Reduction Mammaplasty is perceived by both the patient and surgeon as having high satisfaction and relief of symptoms which outweigh the shortcomings of having an incision and scar on the breast.
For both a Breast Lift and Breast Reduction Mammaplasty patients can receive partial reimbursement from medicare and their private health fund; this should be discussed with Dr. Bobby A. Kumar at the time of consultation. Read more>>
Male Breast Reduction (Gynaecomastia)
Males may also develop large breasts commonly known as “Man boobs”. This can be very embarrassing for men and many will avoid social situations where they are required to expose their chests such as the beach. Alternatively some men who exercise regularly may not be able to shift the pocket of fat in their breasts. There are many causes for Gynaecomastia, such as weight gain, metabolic, genetic and drugs (prescribed & illicit use).
The underlying type of breast tissue will determine the technique used for Male breast reduction surgery. Some men may simply require liposuction/liposculpture to remove the pockets of fat and define their chest wall. Alternatively they may require liposuction as well as an incision around the Nipple to excise a disc of fibrofatty tissue. For massive weight loss patients the pockets of fatty tissue and redundant skin will require extensive excision similar to that for a female when performing a Breast Reduction surgery.
For Male Breast reduction patients can receive a partial reimbursement from medicare and their private health fund for the Liposuction component; you should discuss this with Dr. Bobby A. Kumar at the time of your consultation. Read more>>
Face and Neck Lift
Many patients seeking facial rejuvenation are familiar with short term procedures such as anti-wrinkle injections (for example, Botox ®, Juvederm ®, Aquamid ® or barbed threads). Wrinkles, sagging facial skin, soft tissue and jowls may be improved for between 3 and 18 months with these procedures.
Dr. Bobby A. Kumar performs comprehensive face lift and neck lift surgery for those patients seeking longer term results; many of these patients will still have a softened and rejuvenated appearance at 10-12 years.
The particular techniques Dr. Bobby A. Kumar employs in his face lift surgery avoid obvious scars and hair loss, and produce a natural refreshed and rejuvenated appearance, rather than the “windswept” appearance common to poorly performed facial rejuvenation surgery.
Likewise the neck lift achieves a defined, aesthetic neck and jaw line and lifting of the jowls and “turkey” neck.
Facial rejuvenation is a particular specialty at which Dr. Bobby A. Kumar excels and keenly focuses on producing natural and refreshed results by both surgical and non-surgical face lifting techniques. Read more>>
Tummy Tucks and Liposuction
A Tummy tuck is otherwise known as an Abdominoplasty. Typically tummy tucks are performed when liposuction, weight loss or exercise alone will not address the sagging (ptotic) abdominal skin and spreading abdominal muscles.
There are varying degrees of Abdominoplasty from “mini” tummy tucks to radical tummy tucks. Dependant on the procedure performed, the umbilicus may be released and “floated” or resited to its correct position on the abdominal wall with tightening of the skin and muscle.
The scar produced by the incision for a tummy tuck can be short (like a caesarian scar) or long; the latter is common in patients who have had significant weight loss and require removal of large segments of redundant skin and tissue. Wherever possible, Dr. Bobby A. Kumar aims to site scars in areas that will be hidden by underwear.
There are patients, however, that will achieve excellent natural and aesthetic results from liposuction alone and are unlikely to need such procedures as a tummy tuck or other body lifting procedures (eg arm lift and reduction or thigh lift).
Liposuction/Liposculpture is used to remove pockets or areas of fat resistant to the actions of exercise or diet.
Following liposuction the skin retracts and redrapes producing a more defined body shape. Dr. Bobby A. Kumar also utilises liposuction during the tummy tuck procedure to help shape and define the torso, abdomen and back.
It is important to realise that a tummy tuck and liposuction are not weight loss procedures and patients are encouraged to have an appropriate exercise and diet regime to facilitate health, fitness and weight loss. Read more>>
