Understanding breast asymmetry.

Every procedure is considered individually, with time to discuss your goals, anatomy, available options and the recovery involved.

The procedure

Your surgeon will explain what the procedure may involve and how the approach is tailored to your anatomy and goals.

Options and alternatives

A consultation is the right place to discuss alternatives, limitations and whether a procedure may be appropriate for you.

Recovery planning

Recovery requirements, support at home and follow-up care form an important part of your decision-making.

Questions to ask

Useful discussion points for your consultation.

What does recovery usually involve?

Recovery differs according to the procedure and the individual. Your surgeon will discuss aftercare, activity restrictions and review appointments for your plan.

Will there be a scar?

Scarring is an expected part of surgery. The likely location and the factors that influence healing should be discussed before you decide whether to proceed.

How are fees discussed?

A written estimate is provided after a surgical plan has been discussed. Surgeon, hospital and anaesthetic fees may be separate components.

What are the risks?

All surgery carries risk. Your surgeon will discuss the risks, alternatives and limitations relevant to your procedure and circumstances.
