What Are the Benefits of Breast Surgery?
Breast surgery, including Augmentation, Reduction, and Lifts, offers both aesthetic and functional benefits, allowing individuals to achieve a breast size and shape that is more proportional to their body frame. These procedures can address discomfort associated with disproportionately large breasts, improve posture, enhance body symmetry, and restore breast volume lost due to ageing or childbirth. The psychological benefits, including increased self-esteem and body confidence, are significant factors that contribute to the overall satisfaction of those who undergo breast surgery.
- Improved Proportional Balance: Creates a more balanced and proportionate figure, enhancing overall body image.
- Relief from Physical Discomfort: Reduction surgery can alleviate back, neck, and shoulder pain caused by the weight of large breasts.
- Restoration of Breast Volume and Shape: Breast Augmentation and Lift can restore lost volume and correct sagging, leading to a more youthful appearance.
- Increased Clothing Options: A more proportional figure broadens clothing options and improves fit, contributing to an enhanced personal style.
- Boost in Self-Confidence: The positive impact on appearance can significantly improve confidence and well-being, affecting various aspects of life positively.

Breast Reduction (Reduction Mammoplasty)
Breast Reduction surgery or Reduction Mammoplasty addresses discomfort associated with overly large breasts, such as back and neck pain, skin irritation, and breathing problems.
By removing excess breast fat, glandular tissue, and skin, Anthony can create a breast size in proportion with your body, alleviating the physical and emotional discomfort associated with macromastia.
Breast Uplift (Mastopexy)
Breast Uplift, or Mastopexy, is a procedure aimed at raising and firming the breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue.
This surgery is ideal for individuals who experience sagging due to factors like age, genetics, pregnancy, or weight fluctuations. A breast uplift can rejuvenate your figure with a breast profile that is more youthful and uplifted.
Breast Uplift with Implants
Breast Uplift with an enlargement (using implants) helps lift your breasts while also increasing their size and upper poll fullness (perkiness).
This procedure involves the insertion of implants in addition to lifting the breast tissue, offering a solution that addresses both sagging and volume loss caused by pregnancy, ageing or weight loss.
It’s a comprehensive approach that can dramatically enhance breast appearance and self-confidence.
Breast Enlargement with Breast Implants
Breast Enlargement or Augmentation Mammoplasty, is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures.
It involves using breast implants to increase the size of your breasts, improving their symmetry and fullness. Anthony uses Mentor Implants and the latest techniques to ensure natural-looking results tailored to your body frame and aesthetic desires.
Breast Fat Grafting for Breast Enhancement
Breast Fat Grafting or Breast Enhancement with fat is an innovative surgical technique to create a Natural Breast Enlargement.
The procedure uses your own fat cells to enhance your breast size and shape, offering a more natural look and feel.
Anthony removes excess fat from one or more locations using Body Jet Liposuction, then filters it and re-injects it into your Breasts.
Breast Implant Exchange / Replacement
Breast Implant Exchange or Implant Replacement is a surgical procedure designed for women who wish to replace their old breast implants with new ones.
This procedure not only enhances the appearance of the breasts but can also improve comfort and confidence, offering patients a chance to rejuvenate their look with results that better suit their current lifestyle and sense of beauty.
Breast Implant Removal
Breast Implant Removal is a procedure for women who decide to have their breast implants taken out without replacement.
Post-surgery, patients often feel relief and comfort, embracing their natural figure with renewed confidence. This procedure can also be accompanied by a Breast Lift to address any sagging skin, ensuring a pleasing and natural breast contour post-removal.
Breast Implant Revision Surgery
Breast Implant Revision Surgery is for patients with existing breast implants that need correction or updating.
The reasons for this can include removing or replacing implants and a range of other procedures to reposition or reshape the breast after a complication.
Capsular Contracture Surgery
Capsular contracture is a complication of Breast Augmentation where the scar tissue around the implant tightens, causing discomfort and aesthetic changes.
Anthony specialises in capsular contracture surgery, employing techniques to remove the scar tissue and replace the implant if necessary, restoring a natural feel and appearance to the breasts.
Nipple Correction Surgery
Nipple Correction surgery can address a variety of concerns, including inverted nipples, asymmetry, or oversized nipples. These conditions can be congenital or result from breastfeeding, surgery, or injury.
Anthony offers gentle and effective correction techniques to achieve aesthetically pleasing and functional outcomes.
Recovery after Breast Surgery
Recovery after breast surgery involves a period of rest and limited activity to allow the body to heal properly.
Patients can expect some soreness, swelling, and bruising, which can be managed with medications prescribed by Anthony. It’s crucial to wear a supportive surgical bra as recommended to support healing and maintain the new breast shape. Most patients are advised to take at least a week off from work, with a gradual return to normal activities over the next 4-6 weeks. Strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided until you consult with Anthony.
Follow-up appointments are essential to monitor healing and ensure the incisions are healing well. Adhering to post-operative instructions and maintaining open communication with Anthony’s office are vital for a smooth recovery and achieving the desired aesthetic results.
