Cosmetic SurgeonsAn independent Australian journal of aesthetic and reconstructive surgery
Independent explainers on breast procedures performed in Australia, including implant regulation, reduction and lift operations, explant and revision, and reconstruction after mastectomy.
Why breast-implant revision happens — rupture, contracture, malposition, preference — and how explant with or without a lift is discussed, including imaging and the fact that no operation can promise a return to a pre-implant appearance.

Reduction mammaplasty is discussed for symptoms as well as for appearance. This explainer covers that split, the existence of Medicare criteria without treating a website as an assessor, scars, sensation, and why breastfeeding after reduction cannot be promised.
