Breast Augmentation Perth, WA
Breast Augmentation by Specialist Cosmetic Surgeon Dr Robert Goldman
Why have a Breast Augmentation?
Breast Implants can help restore lost self-esteem and improve your quality of life. If you are considering a breast augmentation it is important to discuss with your cosmetic surgeon what you are hoping to gain from the surgery, as well as the results that can be expected.
Changing the size and shape of your breasts alone will not change you; the goal of the procedure is to improve your self-esteem and increase your self-confidence, in turn making you feel better about yourself and happier with your body.
Many women choose to undergo breast augmentation with implants (AKA breast implants, breast enhancement, breast enlargement, boob job) for a variety of reasons including:
Confidence
Women who are dissatisfied with the size and shape of their breasts and individuals with small breasts who desire larger or more full breasts are good candidates for breast enhancement procedures like breast augmentation with implants. Many women experience a boost in self-esteem after their breast enhancement surgery.
Post pregnancy:
Fluctuations in breast volume is a common phenomenon during pregnancy. This beautiful life-giving process can wreak havoc on one’s body and their self-confidence. It’s common among new mothers to consider a Mummy Makeover which consists of a range of procedures including a tummy tuck, facelift, breast augmentation, and others to restore give them the confidence they had before childbirth.
Asymmetry
If your breasts differ in shape and/or size between the right and left breasts breast augmentation may be a good solution for you. Breast asymmetry is an incredibly common phenomenon which can easily be fixed with a breast augmentation. Breast implants are an ideal solution for natural breast asymmetry or asymmetry following mastectomy.
Post weight loss
Reduced breast size and excess skin after significant weight loss is one of the main reasons women get breast implants. Individuals who take a step in the right direction to a healthier life often experience changes in their breasts like skin that sags where the fat deposits used to be pre-weight loss.
Breast Implant Options
There are a number of things you will need to know before you decide to have a breast augmentation. Every woman’s breasts are different and we all come in different shapes and heights; all of these aspects need to be taken into consideration. Breast implants come in various shapes and sizes and expectations and preferences will also differ widely amongst women who want to undergo breast enhancements.
Another thing you need to know is the difference between enhancement and breast reconstruction. Oftentimes surgeons prefer to do reconstructions on their own work rather than agree to rectify issues on patients, especially if they’ve had their procedures done abroad.
It is essential to have the right information and to be guided through the process by an experienced Cosmetic Surgeon so you can make the best choices and get the results you want.
Here’s what you need to consider when it comes to your breast implants:
Under vs over the muscle
The placement of silicone breast implants will affect how your breast implants look and feel, as well as the safety and risks of breast augmentation. Dr Goldman does not perform submuscular breast augmentations, as this type of procedure involves more safety risks, a less natural looking result, and increased re-operation rate.
Dr Goldman only places implants over the pectoral muscles, so you can have the safest procedure and best-looking results.
Silicone vs Saline implants
There have been many advances in the materials used for breast implants since the surgery was first introduced. Dr Goldman uses high-quality Cohesive Silicone Gel breast implants by Motiva.
This medical grade material is licensed and considered safe by the Therapeutic Goods Administration and is used in Australia and worldwide. These implants have been designed to increase cleavage and breast size without producing an unnatural breast look or feel.
Breast implant size
During your consultation, Dr Goldman will listen to your desires and discuss which size and shape implants will be best suited for you, based on your current measurements, desired end results, and lifestyle.
Natural looking breast implants
Dr Goldman uses techniques and materials to help you get the most natural looking results. Your surgery will be performed so that the implant is placed to move and behave exactly as the breast does.
During the initial consultation with Dr Goldman, he will guide you through each step and provide you with extensive take-home reading material to assist you in the decision-making process.

Frequently Asked Questions
Breast augmentation with silicone implants is a surgical procedure that can have immediate results with positive feedback. It’s ideal for those with little fat deposits and allows the surgeon more freedom to control the end result of the procedure.
Silicone implants also look and feel more like natural breasts, whereas saline are less forgiving and more likely to ripple or fold unnaturally. If the implants pop or rupture, silicone implants maintain their structure, while saline implants are made of liquid and therefore, leak.
Incisions made during the surgery can deter the patient from breastfeeding. Breast implant surgery can also damage the glands that help produce milk and the ducts that hold them. The surgery can also lead to a disconnect between the nipples and the glands. Please speak to your surgeon before the surgery if breastfeeding is in your future plans.
