This patient presented seeking breast augmentation to increase breast volume while maintaining proportions suited to her frame.

During consultation, measurements were taken and mild differences in ni**le position were noted. Implant size and options were discussed in detail, with 3D imaging used to assist with surgical planning.

She underwent bilateral breast augmentation using smooth round silicone implants (400cc) placed under the muscle (subpectoral) via an inframammary fold incision.

Breast augmentation is tailored to the individual. Implant selection and surgical technique depend on anatomy, tissue characteristics and patient goals. A thorough consultation and clinical examination are essential to determine the most appropriate treatment approach.

This patient presented with breast ptosis and wished to increase volume while also improving breast position. Following consultation and assessment, she underwent a combined breast augmentation and mastopexy procedure.

A vertical lift technique was used to reposition breast tissue and elevate the ni**le-areolar complex as part of the mastopexy component of the procedure. The implants were then placed in the subpectoral position.

Combined augmentation and mastopexy procedures are tailored to the individual and require careful planning based on anatomy, tissue quality and patient goals. The most appropriate approach can only be determined following a thorough consultation and clinical examination.

Thinking about surgery but still smoking or va**ng? This could seriously impact your results.

Smoking doesn’t just affect your lungs, it reduces oxygen to your tissues, slows healing, increases infection risk and can even make some procedures unsafe to perform.

Our doctors require patients to stop 6–8 weeks before and after surgery.

If you would like to know more about our pre and post operative care plans contact our clinic directly on (07) 5597 4100.

At The Layt Clinic, our care goes beyond the surgery.

We understand that recovery after any neck and facial procedures, can be challenging and even something as simple as washing your hair can feel difficult. That’s why it’s included in your aftercare plan.

It’s just one of the ways The Layt Clinic goes above and beyond to prioritise your comfort and ensure a smooth, stress-free recovery.

BEFORE & AFTER | Abdominoplasty Procedure

This procedure is designed to address excess skin, fat, and muscle laxity of the abdominal region. Our specialist plastic surgeon, Dr Craig Layt, can perform customised abdominoplasty surgery to tighten the abdominal muscles, eliminate excess skin, and pull the remaining skin taut to produce a recontoured abdomen.

These before and after photos were taken 3 months post-operatively, at which the patient was able to undertake regular activities.
