Can I have breast revision surgery if I have had a breast augmentation with another surgeon or practice?

If you have recently undergone a breast augmentation by another accredited plastic surgeon within the last 6 months, either in Australia or abroad, and you are dissatisfied with the results, we advise you to first seek help from the original surgeon. They possess valuable knowledge about your specific procedure, the implants used, and the infection control measures taken. In case you encounter complications, infections, or wound issues, it’s essential to get in touch with your initial surgeon. If contacting them proves difficult, please visit your General Practitioner (GP) or the nearest hospital emergency department for assistance.

However, if you have had a breast augmentation performed in Australia or overseas by another accredited plastic surgeon or ‘cosmetic doctor’ over six months ago, you are unhappy with the results and you’ve either been unable to reach an agreed path forward with your original surgeon/doctor or you do not feel comfortable seeking further treatment from them, then we recommend the following steps:

  1. Visit Your GP: Request a referral to a Specialist Plastic Surgeon. The referral can be general and does not need to be directed to a specific practitioner, allowing you the freedom to choose who you wish to see.
  2. Contact Our Centre: Reach out to us to request our email address. We will ask for your referral, details of your previous surgical procedure(s), and the name of the practitioner who performed the surgery. We may also request photos of your results.
  3. Review Process: Our team will review the referral and the information provided to determine if a consultation on breast revision surgery would be appropriate for you at our centre.
