Aesthetic Surgery: Breast
Aesthetic (cosmetic) breast surgery includes a range of procedures designed to improve the shape, size, and symmetry of the breasts or chest. These treatments aim to enhance body confidence, restore balance after pregnancy, weight loss or ageing, and support gender-affirming goals.
Breast shape and size can vary greatly between individuals and may change over time due to age, hormones, weight fluctuation, or life events. You may notice volume loss, drooping (ptosis), asymmetry, or discomfort from overly large breasts or residual glandular tissue.
Our specialist plastic and reconstructive surgery team offers individualised options tailored to your goals, anatomy, and lifestyle.
We offer:
Breast augmentation to increase volume or restore fullness using implants or fat transfer
Breast lift (mastopexy) to elevate and reshape sagging breasts
Breast reduction to relieve discomfort or improve proportions by removing excess breast tissue
Surgery for gynaecomastia to remove excess breast tissue in men
Gender affirming ‘top’ surgery to align physical features with gender identity
Why Consider Surgery?
People choose surgery for a variety of personal and medical reasons, including:
A desire for fuller or more symmetrical breasts
Discomfort or posture issues from overly large breasts
Restoring body image after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or significant weight loss
Feeling that the chest does not match their identity (gender dysphoria)
Wanting a firmer, lifted shape or correction of congenital differences
These procedures can improve physical comfort, clothing fit, and confidence when chosen for the right reasons and with realistic expectations.
What's Involved in Aesthetic Breast Surgery
Treatment plans are customised and may include one or more procedures. Your plastic surgeon will discuss your goals and recommend the most suitable approach for your needs.

Reshaping and repositioning the nipple and breast tissue
