Breasts change over time due to factors such as genetics, hormones, pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight changes, and ageing. A consultation provides an opportunity to discuss these changes and consider whether surgical or non-surgical options might be appropriate.
At our clinic, a breast consultation is designed to give you clear information, a health review, and professional advice so that you can make an informed decision about next steps.

What Is a Breast Consultation?
A breast consultation is a professional assessment that helps you understand the options available for your breasts, including surgical and non-surgical procedures. It provides an opportunity to discuss your goals, examine your individual anatomy, and receive professional advice on potential next steps.
What to Expect at Your Appointment
Initial Review: Your medical history, medications, and lifestyle factors will be discussed. Pregnancy, breastfeeding, or plans for either may influence timing or suitability of any procedure.
Assessment: A physical examination is performed, and additional investigations such as imaging may be recommended. Clinical photographs may be taken for your medical record.
Discussion: Your practitioner will outline potential options, including surgical and non-surgical approaches. Recovery timelines, risks, and individual variability will also be covered.
Next Steps: You may receive further guidance, referrals, or additional assessments before making any decisions.
Important Considerations
Risks: All procedures carry risks. These can include infection, scarring, changes in sensation, anaesthetic complications, and the possibility of needing further surgery.
Recovery: Recovery varies between procedures and between individuals. Your practitioner will provide personalised advice if you decide to proceed.
Outcomes: Results differ for every person. No procedure can guarantee a specific appearance or functional result.
