Surgery on the breast can help address many different issues which may arise at various stages of life. Dr Bernie can assist in achieving a specific breast shape, adjusting a concern with size or symmetry, or performing a revisionary procedure. Dr Bernie also offers all aspects of Reconstructive Breast Surgery.
Every woman’s decision to undergo breast surgery is unique and presents a personal decision. Dr Bernie will work with you through a personalised consultation to individually consider and address your needs and goals to create a tailored surgical plan with an optimal outcome.
Dr Bernie offers a wide range of breast procedures, the most common of which are listed below.
Breast Augmentation
Breast Augmentation involves placing breast implants under breast tissue or chest muscle in order to improve the size, shape or symmetry of your breasts.
Breast Lift (Mastopexy)
A Breast Lift (Mastopexy) can correct sagging of the breast by raising and firming the breast through the removal of excess skin and the tightening of surrounding tissue. This procedure results in a higher breast position.
Breast Augmentation Mastopexy
A Breast Augmentation together with a Breast Lift (Mastopexy) can help address both a deficiency in breast size and the sagging of the breast. This is a more complicated procedure which can significantly change the appearance of the breast and may or may not be possible in one procedure.
Breast Reduction
Breast Reduction Mammaplasty aims to reduce the physical and emotional toll that can result from large breasts by removing excess breast tissue, recontouring the breast and repositioning the nipple whilst also lifting the breast simultaneously.
Breast Asymmetry
Whilst mild asymmetry is normal in all parts of our bodies, including minor size and shape differences in the breast, excessive asymmetry may be concerning. Improvement of asymmetry can be performed through various techniques depending on the cause and severity, most often being tailored to the specific concern you may have.

Previous breast procedures may require revision due to time, for the correction of a prior suboptimal result or due to a change of desired goal. Though these procedures are usually more complex, Dr Bernie is ready to help you with the careful consideration and selection of an individualised care plan to meet your goals.
