Breast procedures.
Breast surgery consultations at KPAS provide an opportunity to discuss concerns about breast size, shape, asymmetry or existing implants. The procedure being considered depends on the area of concern, individual circumstances and the findings of a clinical assessment.
At Kings Park Aesthetic Surgery, your consultation includes time to discuss your goals, the options that may be relevant and the care involved.
Breast Surgery at KPAS
Breast surgery includes procedures with different aims, including changes to volume, tissue position, asymmetry and implant-related concerns. The relevant option depends on anatomy, medical history and the concerns discussed at consultation.
Previous surgery, implants, future pregnancy or breastfeeding plans may be relevant to the discussion. Assessment and informed consent are specific to the procedure being considered.

Explore procedureUnderstanding the Areas Being Assessed
Volume and tissue position
Breast size, skin and tissue characteristics are assessed together. Procedures that change volume do not necessarily address the same concerns as procedures that change tissue position.
Asymmetry
Differences between the breasts require individual assessment. The options and limitations depend on the nature of the difference and the patient’s circumstances.
Existing implants
Discuss the implant history and any symptoms or concerns. Assessment may include whether removal, replacement or another approach should be considered.
These areas provide a starting point for discussion, not a diagnosis or a recommendation for surgery. Individual assessment comes first.
Your Breast Surgery Consultation
Individual Assessment Comes First
A consultation is the right place to discuss your concerns, available options and whether a procedure may be appropriate for you.
Physical assessment and discussion may consider:
- the concerns you would like assessed
- breast tissue, skin and proportions
- previous breast surgery or implants
- relevant health and screening history
- pregnancy or breastfeeding plans where relevant
- options, limitations and procedure-specific risks
Ask your surgeon about alternatives, recovery, expected scars and possible complications before deciding whether to proceed.

Planning Around Your Individual Circumstances
Breast augmentation, lift, reduction and implant procedures address different concerns. More than one option may be discussed, but this does not mean that combined surgery is necessary or suitable.
Your surgeon will discuss the expected scars, the limitations of surgery and considerations relevant to implants or future changes in the breasts, where applicable.
Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery varies between breast procedures and individual patients. Ask about wound care, support garments where prescribed, lifting, exercise, work and follow-up appointments.
The treating team will provide instructions relevant to the operation performed. Contact the team if recovery is not progressing as explained or you have concerns.
Read About Recovery & AftercareRisks and Informed Consent
All surgery carries risks. The relevant risks depend on the operation, your health and the tissues being treated.
Ask about complications, limitations, alternatives and the possibility of further treatment. The consent discussion should address the particular procedure and your individual circumstances.
