Breast augmentation is a cosmetic procedure that alters both the size and shape of a woman’s breasts. At Dr. Jane Paterson’s clinic, we understand the deeply personal nature of this decision and are committed to providing exceptional care and results that are specifically tailored to your unique needs.
Breast augmentation, also known as augmentation mammoplasty, involves surgically inserting implants to increase breast size or restore volume lost due to weight reduction or pregnancy. This procedure can also correct asymmetry and alter the overall contour of the breasts.
Dr. Jane Paterson is a highly respected plastic surgeon with years of experience and a dedication to excellence in patient care. Her approach to breast augmentation is centred on understanding each patient’s individual goals. Here’s why so many patients choose Dr. Paterson:
Dr. Paterson takes the time to listen to your concerns, discuss your aesthetic goals, and develop a customised surgical plan that’s right for you.
By utilising the latest surgical techniques and high-quality implants, Dr. Paterson ensures optimal results with minimal scarring and a quicker recovery time.
From your initial consultation to post-operative follow-ups, Dr. Paterson and her team provide comprehensive support to ensure your comfort and satisfaction every step of the way.
Choosing the right type of implant is crucial to achieving the outcome you desire.
Dr. Paterson performs breast augmentation under general anaesthesia, with the procedure typically taking one to two hours. Here’s what you can expect:
Incisions are made in discrete areas to minimise visible scarring. Common incision sites include the inframammary fold (under the breast), periareolar (around the nipple), and transaxillary (in the armpit).
The implants can be placed either under the pectoral muscle (submuscular) or directly behind the breast tissue (subglandular). Dr. Paterson will help you determine which placement is best for your body and goals.
Once the implants are in place, the incisions are closed with sutures, skin adhesive, or surgical tape. The results of your breast augmentation will be immediately visible.
Recovery from breast augmentation varies for each patient, but most can return to work and normal activities within a week. Dr. Paterson will provide detailed post-operative care instructions to ensure a smooth recovery. While swelling and discomfort are common in the initial days, these will subside over time, revealing your altered breast shape.

Breast augmentation, or augmentation mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure that involves the placement of implants to alter the size and shape of the breasts. Some individuals may consider breast augmentation for a range of personal reasons. A consultation is essential to determine if the procedure is appropriate based on individual health, anatomy, and expectations. Outcomes vary between individuals, and it is important to understand both the potential benefits and risks involved.
There are several types of breast implants, including saline, silicone, and cohesive gel (also known as “form-stable” or “gummy bear”) implants. They vary in shape, fill material, and firmness. Round and anatomical (teardrop-shaped) options are available. During a consultation, appropriate implant choices are discussed based on a clinical assessment of the patient’s needs and preferences. Final selection should be guided by medical advice and a discussion of risks and benefits.
Recovery experiences can vary significantly between individuals. Most patients gradually return to light activities within 1 to 2 weeks, depending on their recovery rate. Common symptoms may include swelling, tightness, or mild discomfort in the early stages. Post-operative instructions will be provided and follow-up appointments are arranged to support recovery. It is important to follow medical guidance carefully to minimise complications.
As with any surgical procedure, breast augmentation carries certain risks. These may include infection, capsular contracture, implant rupture, changes in sensation, and the need for future revision surgery. Detailed information about risks and recovery is provided during consultation. Individual risks vary and will be discussed thoroughly prior to any decision-making.
You are encouraged to consider your goals and any questions you may have about the procedure. A medical history will be reviewed and a physical examination conducted. During the consultation, you will be provided with detailed information about the procedure, implant options, possible outcomes, and the risks involved. All decisions are made collaboratively, and no outcomes are guaranteed.
Costs for breast augmentation can vary depending on individual needs and the specifics of the procedure, such as implant type and surgical complexity. A detailed cost breakdown will be provided during your consultation. Advertising of price or promotions must include terms and conditions if applicable, in accordance with AHPRA guidelines.
Yes, it is possible to perform breast augmentation alongside other procedures such as breast lift (mastopexy). Whether this is appropriate will depend on individual circumstances and will be discussed during your consultation after a thorough assessment.
Breast implants are not lifetime devices. While many patients may retain implants for 10 to 15 years or longer, they may eventually require replacement or removal. Ongoing monitoring through follow-up appointments is recommended to ensure implant integrity and breast health.
The ability to breastfeed after breast augmentation varies depending on individual anatomy and the surgical approach used. This can be discussed during your consultation, along with the potential risks to lactation based on incision location and implant placement.
Patients are encouraged to choose a registered medical practitioner with appropriate qualifications, experience, and registration with the Medical Board of Australia. You can check a practitioner’s registration status, qualifications, and area of specialty via the AHPRA register. It is important to base your decision on clinical discussions rather than testimonials or promotional claims.
