Breast augmentation surgery offers a transformative way to enhance breast volume and shape, creating balanced proportions that complement your natural body. Dr Kevin Ho brings extensive surgical expertise to every breast augmentation procedure in Sydney, focusing on natural-looking results that are carefully tailored to your unique anatomy and aesthetic goals.
Whether you’re seeking to restore volume lost after pregnancy, correct breast asymmetry, or simply achieve the fuller bust you’ve always desired, breast augmentation can help you feel more confident in your own skin. The procedure has evolved significantly with advances in implant materials and surgical techniques, making it both safer and more predictable than ever before.
Breast augmentation, medically known as augmentation mammaplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to increase breast size, improve shape, and restore volume using either implants or fat transfer techniques. This comprehensive approach addresses various concerns, from naturally small breast size to volume loss following pregnancy and breastfeeding.
The procedure involves several important decisions that will be tailored to your specific needs and goals. These include:
During your consultation, Dr Ho will conduct a thorough assessment of your breast tissue, skin quality, and body proportions to recommend the most appropriate approach for your breast augmentation options in Sydney.
Breast augmentation offers numerous potential benefits for women seeking to improve their breast contour and overall confidence. The primary goal is to create natural-looking results that enhance your existing body proportions whilst addressing specific aesthetic concerns.
Key benefits of breast augmentation may include:
The procedure can create fuller, more rounded breasts that better fill clothing and swimwear, eliminating the need for heavily padded bras or uncomfortable push-up styles.
By increasing breast size in harmony with your existing frame, breast augmentation can create better balance between your upper and lower body, contributing to a more proportionate silhouette.
Many women have naturally uneven breasts, and augmentation can address significant size differences to create better symmetry and balance.
Following pregnancy, breastfeeding, or significant weight changes, breast augmentation can restore lost volume and improve breast shape that may have changed over time.
These improvements are designed to provide long-lasting results, although it’s important to understand that the natural ageing process will continue. Individual outcomes vary, and maintaining realistic expectations is essential for satisfaction with your breast augmentation results.
Understanding each step of your breast augmentation surgery helps ensure you feel prepared and confident throughout your surgical experience. Dr Ho takes care to explain every aspect of the procedure, from your initial consultation through to your recovery.
The breast augmentation process typically involves these five key steps:
Step 1: Consultation and Assessment
Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation where Dr Ho will examine your breast tissue, assess skin quality, and evaluate your overall body proportions. During this appointment, you’ll discuss your aesthetic goals, lifestyle considerations, and any concerns you may have about the procedure.
Step 2: Pre-operative Preparation
Once you decide to proceed, detailed planning begins. This includes finalising implant size, shape, and placement position based on your anatomy and desired outcome. You’ll receive specific pre-operative instructions regarding medications, eating, drinking, and any lifestyle modifications needed before surgery.
Step 3: Surgery Under General Anaesthesia
Breast augmentation is performed under general anaesthesia for your comfort and safety. Dr Ho will create carefully planned incisions, which may be positioned in the inframammary fold (under the breast), around the nipple (periareolar), or in the armpit (transaxillary), depending on your specific surgical plan.
Step 4: Implant Placement and Positioning
Using the predetermined surgical approach, Dr Ho will create the appropriate pocket for your implant, whether under the breast tissue, under the muscle, or in the subfascial plane. The implant is then carefully positioned to achieve the desired shape and projection.
Step 5: Closure and Initial Recovery
Once the implants are properly positioned, the incisions are closed with careful attention to minimising scarring. You’ll be monitored in recovery as the anaesthesia wears off before being discharged with detailed aftercare instructions.
Determining your suitability for breast augmentation involves a comprehensive evaluation of your health, anatomy, and aesthetic goals. An ideal candidate understands what the procedure can realistically achieve and has clear motivations for seeking enhancement.
Generally, suitable candidates for breast augmentation include:
Candidates should have completed breast development, typically after age 18, and have realistic expectations about potential outcomes.
Whether due to naturally small breast size, asymmetry, or volume loss following pregnancy and weight changes, candidates should have specific, achievable goals.
Candidates should be in good physical health with stable weight, as significant weight fluctuations can affect results. A healthy lifestyle supports optimal healing and long-term satisfaction.
Smoking significantly impairs healing and increases complication risks. Candidates must be non-smokers or willing to stop smoking well before and after surgery.
Dr Ho will also assess factors such as your skin elasticity, existing breast tissue, and chest wall anatomy to ensure breast augmentation is the most appropriate procedure for your needs. Some candidates may benefit from alternative or combined procedures.

Your recovery experience following breast augmentation will depend on factors including the surgical technique used, implant placement, and your body’s natural healing response. Following Dr Ho’s aftercare instructions carefully is essential for optimal healing and results.
In the immediate post-operative period, you can expect some swelling, bruising, and discomfort around the breast area. Most patients find that pain is manageable with prescribed medications and typically decreases significantly within the first few days. You’ll need to wear a supportive surgical bra without underwire during the initial healing phase.
Early Recovery Timeline:
Focus on rest and gentle movements. Most patients can return to light desk work within a few days, though this varies between individuals.
Gradual return to normal daily activities, avoiding heavy lifting or strenuous exercise. Swelling continues to reduce during this period.
Full activity clearance, including exercise and contact sports. Final breast shape becomes more apparent as tissues settle.
Healing times vary between individuals, and some patients may experience a longer or shorter recovery period. Regular follow-up appointments with Dr Ho ensure your healing progresses as expected and address any concerns that may arise.
The cost of breast augmentation in Sydney varies based on several factors unique to each patient’s surgical plan. A precise quote can only be provided following a thorough consultation, as pricing depends on your specific requirements and chosen approach.
Factors that influence your breast augmentation cost include the type of implants selected (silicone or saline, round or anatomical), the surgical technique required, anaesthesia fees, hospital facility costs, and post-operative care requirements. Dr Ho’s fee structure is designed to be transparent and comprehensive.
The initial consultation fee is $350, with a second consultation at no additional charge if required. While breast augmentation is generally considered cosmetic, some patients may be eligible for Medicare rebates in specific circumstances, such as significant breast asymmetry or reconstruction following pregnancy-related changes.
Understanding the key details of breast augmentation surgery helps set appropriate expectations for your surgical experience and recovery.
Most breast augmentation procedures take approximately 1 to 1.5 hours, though more complex cases or combined procedures may require additional time. Dr Ho prioritises precision over speed to ensure optimal results.
Breast augmentation is typically performed as day surgery, meaning you can return home the same day. In some cases, an overnight stay may be recommended for observation, particularly for patients who have undergone more extensive procedures.
All surgical procedures carry inherent risks. Specific risks associated with breast augmentation may include infection, bleeding, changes in nipple or breast sensation, implant rupture, capsular contracture, and the possibility of requiring revision surgery. Dr Ho will discuss these risks in detail during your consultation.
Regular follow-up appointments are included in Dr Ho's fee structure, ensuring your healing progresses appropriately and any concerns are addressed promptly.

Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure that increases breast size and improves shape using implants or fat transfer. The surgery involves placing implants either above or below the chest muscle through carefully planned incisions, creating fuller breasts that complement your natural body proportions.
Several implant options are available, including silicone gel and saline-filled implants. Silicone implants provide a more natural feel and appearance, while saline implants offer adjustable sizing. Both round and anatomical (teardrop) shapes are available, with the choice depending on your desired outcome and anatomy.
Initial recovery typically takes 1-2 weeks, during which you should avoid heavy lifting and strenuous activities. Most patients return to work within a few days to a week, depending on their occupation. Full recovery, including clearance for all activities, usually occurs within 6-8 weeks.
While all surgery results in some scarring, Dr Ho uses techniques designed to minimise scar visibility. Incision placement options include under the breast (inframammary), around the nipple (periareolar), or in the armpit (transaxillary). Scars typically fade significantly over time with proper care.
Fat transfer breast augmentation uses your own fat harvested from other body areas to increase breast volume. This technique is ideal for modest size increases and provides natural results, though it may require multiple procedures to achieve desired volume and is less predictable than implant-based augmentation.
Modern breast implants are designed to be long-lasting, though they are not considered lifetime devices. Most implants can last 15-20 years or longer, though individual experiences vary. Regular monitoring through clinical examination and imaging helps ensure ongoing implant integrity.
Like all surgical procedures, breast augmentation carries potential risks including infection, bleeding, changes in sensation, implant complications, and the possibility of requiring revision surgery. Dr Ho discusses these risks in detail during consultation, ensuring you make an informed decision.
