What is Breast Augmentation?
Breast Augmentation Surgery is an operation that increases the size of the breasts by using implants. The procedure can help reshape, improve symmetry, and reconstruct the breasts.
In Sydney, Breast Augmentation is often chosen by women with naturally small breasts, as well as those who have lost volume and shape due to weight fluctuations, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or conditions such as breast cancer.
However, it’s important to note that Breast Augmentation alone cannot significantly lift sagging breasts (ptosis). For such cases, a combined procedure involving both breast augmentation and mastopexy (breast lift) may be required to achieve the desired shape and size.
Dr Kumar is a specialist plastic surgeon performing Breast Augmentation Surgery in Sydney, Penrith, and Orange.

Recovery From Breast Augmentation Surgery
The length of your recovery will depend on the specific procedure and technique that Dr Kumar has used for your results. Recovery times can vary from person to person. If your work involves minimal physical activity, such as a desk job, you can typically return within 2 weeks post-surgery. However, Dr Kumar generally recommends allowing 4-6 weeks for initial recovery following your surgery. Scar maturation and fading may take longer.
Dr Kumar will work with you to allow for adequate and proper healing time. It is crucial to consult with him before resuming any daily activities such as driving, lifting, and exercising.
You will be given post-operative compression garments to wear after your surgery, and it is vital that you follow Dr Kumar’s orders with respect to wearing these during your recovery period.
Achieving optimal results depends on a collaborative approach between you and Dr Kumar. Following his specific instructions and attending all post-operative appointments are essential.
Maintaining your Breast Implant Results
Please keep in mind that your results from Breast Augmentation Surgery may be impacted by fluctuations in your weight, early excessive activity, skin health, or Body Mass Index (BMI). Pregnancy and breastfeeding may also impact your surgical results following your Breast Surgery.
Every patient is unique, and surgery results will vary. It’s important to maintain realistic expectations and work closely with Dr Kumar to achieve the best possible outcome.
