Breasts are beautiful in all shapes and sizes, but if your breasts are sagging, flat, asymmetrical or lacking the volume and shape you desire, you’re not alone. It’s estimated some 20,000 Australians undergo breast implant surgery every year.

Other women simply want to have a larger size bust, which is more proportionate to their overall body size. Implants may also be required to reconstruct a damaged or missing breast, from injury, illness or mastectomy. There are countless reasons women undergo breast augmentation and each one has unique importance to the individual.
If you’re considering breast implants, it’s important to know these are not lifetime devices and need to be replaced after around 10-15 years in many cases.

Satisfaction with breast augmentation results ultimately depends on your understanding of the capabilities and limitations of the procedure.
