Breast Lift & Breast Reduction Surgery: Sydney and Adelaide Clinics

How many jokes do we hear or see about women’s breasts as we get older? Whilst some people may find them amusing, for some women they represent a harsh and embarrassing personal reality they face everyday. There is only so much a bra can do to support breasts that become saggy and lengthen with age exacerbated with pregnancy and breast feeding.

Cosmetic Surgery can offer a resolution to the problem of sagging and droopy breasts in the form of breast lift. A breast lift involves removal of excess skin and tissue from the breast and reshaping of the breast, to lift the breast to its correct position and restore shape. In some cases, restoring shape and volume also requires insertion of a breast implant. In other cases, a breast reduction may be combined with a breast lift to achieve a natural shape, size and proportion.

Does a breast lift result in smaller breasts? It is possible that your breasts may become smaller, remembering that the excess skin and tissue that is removed is what was causing the sagging.

Polyurethane Breast Implants are a reconstructive type of silicone Breast Implant. It has an outer polyurethane foam coating which is “stuck” to a smooth silicone style Breast Implant.

Breast Implants Cosmetic Surgery: Sydney & Adelaide

Many women in Australia are familiar with the concept of Breast Implants and Breast Augmentation surgery. The procedure is becoming increasingly common and sought by a wide range of women.

Breast Augmentation is a cosmetic surgery procedure that involves the insertion of Breast Implants to improve and enhance the appearance of a woman’s breasts. The operation begins with the cosmetic surgeon drawing markings on the woman’s chest to facilitate the incisions and Breast Implant placement. These incisions are made for the insertion of the Breast Implant; the cosmetic surgeon uses surgical instruments to create a pocket in the chest behind the breast to hold the Breast Implant. Cosmetic Surgeons usually choose the location of the incision in order to hide or minimise the eventual scar, typically in the crease under the breast (Inframammary fold). Less common locations of incisions are around the areola and nipple, under the armpit and through the belly button.
