A look into the breast augmentation journey

1 hour

A relaxed, no obligation consultation

Every procedure starts with a private, no-commitment conversation with either Richard or Kim, the founding surgeons of Re. Plastic Surgery. We want to know your dream body and how we can help you reach that goal.

2-3 months

Your first appointment

Our surgeons’ wait lists are constantly changing but prepare for a 2-3 month wait to have your first consultation. This is a good thing! If a surgeon can see you straight away ask yourself why they aren’t busy operating or in high demand. These consultations last around an hour with your surgeon taking your pre-surgery photos, explaining what’s involved in an operation and understanding your desired outcomes. You’ll also have an in-depth, personal quote with our surgical co-ordinator that is valid for 3 months.

2-3 months

Your surgery date

Once you’ve paid your deposit for your surgery, wait times will fluctuate depending on time of the year and your procedure, but allow for a 2 – 3 month wait time.

1-2 weeks

Prepare for surgery

We know this is an exciting transformation, so we promise to be there every step of the way. From pre-surgery consults, check-ins with your surgeon all the way to post-op laser and LED appointments with our dermal therapist.

1 day

Day of procedure

You will wake up in the recovery bay of the hospital and your breasts will feel swollen but comfortable. You’ll be wearing your complimentary post-surgical bra for optimal healing and settling of the implants. Breast augmentations are a day procedure so you’ll get to leave the hospital the same day of your surgery.

6-8 weeks

Your recovery journey

The first few days may be a little uncomfortable but will be controlled with pain medication. You can begin to ease back into light physical activities after 2 weeks.

By 6-8 weeks, you would be back to your normal daily routine and enjoying your new shape. Normal post-operative bruising and swelling should be gone, and your scars will begin to fade and diminish. You are able to fully resume normal exercise. At the end of this period you will have your first post-operative complimentary laser or LED scar treatment.

When it comes to changing how your body looks through plastic surgery, you want to be absolutely confident in your decision. To give you a complete understanding of what to expect from your procedure, Re. uses the advanced Vectra 3D Imaging System.

Re. is one of the few plastic surgery clinics in Australia to offer the Vectra 3D Imaging System to their breast surgery patients in Melbourne.

When considering a boob job, lift or reduction, the consultation process is important to ensure both you and your surgeon are working toward the same desired outcome. During this time, your Re. surgeon can use 3D Imaging to provide you with the most realistic view possible of what your body could look like after breast surgery.

While before-and-after photos can provide some indication of what’s possible with breast implants, a more personalised representation is optimal. Using this advanced imaging system, your Re. plastic surgeon will capture multiple photos of the treatment area and combine them using the Vectra simulation tool to make a three-dimensional image of your body.

During the consultation, you will be able to preview your breasts on our screen from almost any angle to get a realistic view of your surgery outcome. Your Re. plastic surgeon can adjust the appearance of your image in real time with various surgical options, so you can decide on the procedure that best suits your personal goals. These images can then also be uploaded to your own personal TouchMD file, so you can look at them in your own time at home and discuss with family or friends.

In the case of a breast augmentation consultation, different size breast implants are simulated to give a preview of what suits your exact frame and body type and what your breasts may look like after surgery. Breasts can be made to look bigger, smaller, fuller or lifted to create the desired appearance.

The Vectra 3D Imaging System is mostly used for breast implant surgery, but may also be used to simulate breast lift or breast reduction and can also be used to simulate body contouring with liposuction. The entire process takes only a few minutes and helps remove guess work and ensures we all have the same expectations. Now you can make an even more informed decision and feel confident in your desired surgery outcomes.

Frequently asked questions

all about Breast Augmentations

Modern breast implants can last many years and may never need to be replaced. Forget what you’ve heard about implants needing to be replaced at 10 years. At Re. we only use Mentor breast implants. We believe, because of their commitment to safety, feel and shape, as well as their record of excellence in the industry, these are the highest quality implants available.

Most importantly, we’ll discuss what size and shape of implants will best suit your body type.

The first thing your surgeon will discuss with you is your breast goals. Do you want a natural shape, round appearance or subtle increase? A breast enlargement or a breast enhancement. Then your surgeon will examine your breast and chest dimensions and present a number of options.

We then use the latest 3D simulation software to give you an accurate guide as to what your implants will look like on your own photos, which you will also be able to access after your consultation.

Finally, we will show you what the size implant actually looks like and you get to try it on under your clothes.

Everybody’s different. We’ll look at how much breast tissue you naturally have, particularly in your upper pole. Then we take into consideration the size of implant you have chosen and discuss your personal preference and lifestyle activities. Based on all of this we will recommend the best placement for you.

Yes, most women can still breastfeed after breast surgery. It is important to note, however, up to 40% of women are unable to breast feed even without a breast augmentation.

Our breast augmentation surgical fee is $12,959. This includes your implants, follow up appointments, post-operative garment, silicone tape, gel, two scar treatments and a complimentary PT consultation to assist your recovery.

In addition to this there are anaesthetist fees of $990 and hospital fees, which they determine. This means we can only quote you for that section after your consult once the hospital has provided their fees.

These costs will be significantly cheaper if you have appropriate private health care.

It really depends what sort of work you do. If your work is largely office based, you can often return within a week. If your job is more physical, you may need a couple of weeks.
