Following three pregnancies, this patient presented with abdominal muscle separation (re**us diastasis), along with excess abdominal skin and localised fat deposits.

After clinical examination and detailed discussion in consultation, a modified abdominoplasty was recommended to address:

• Separation of the abdominal muscles
• Excess skin
• Localised adiposity

An abdominoplasty is a procedure that may be used to remove excess skin and address abdominal wall laxity, but it is not a substitute for weight loss, and outcomes vary between individuals.

These photos show her result 1 year after surgery, once healing and tissue settling have occurred.

Every surgical plan is tailored to the individual, based on anatomy, tissue quality, medical history, and surgical goals. The most appropriate procedure can only be determined following a thorough consultation and examination.

28/01/2026

This patient presented with breast ptosis (droop), where an implant alone would not have achieved a balanced or stable result due to the low ni**le position. In these cases, a breast lift (mastopexy) is often required in combination with augmentation to reposition the breast tissue and ni**le.

Dr Layt used Motiva round, smooth silicone gel implants (340cc), placed under the muscle (subpectoral).

While anatomical (teardrop) implants can be appropriate in some chest shapes, in this case, they would have created a bottom-heavy appearance and were not suited to the patient’s anatomy or goals. A round implant combined with a lift was chosen to address breast position and overall proportion in this individual case.

Every patient’s anatomy, tissue quality, and surgical plan are different. The most appropriate procedure and implant choice can only be determined after a detailed consultation and examination.

This patient underwent Endoscopic Axillary Breast Augmentation (EABA) with Dr Layt in 2006, using 345cc Nagor implants via a small incision in the underarm.

Two children and two decades later, she returned to The Layt Clinic for a breast implant check after a prior ultrasound raised concerns.

A follow-up MRI showed no signs of rupture, confirming her implants were intact. The patient remains satisfied with her cosmetic results and has experienced no significant changes despite the time that has passed.

While there is no set expiry for breast implants, a review with your surgeon, especially after 10–15 years, is important. Whether you’re concerned about changes or simply want peace of mind, our Breast Implant Check Clinic is here to help.

- EABA procedures are now available again with Dr Layt
- Southport & Ballina locations
- Implant checks are recommended every 2-5 years
