Who makes a good candidate for plastic surgery? Ask the question, and part of the answer will be: "non smokers." of course, we all know that smoking is not good for our health or our personal appearance. We know that smoking greatly increases our risk of getting cancer, emphysema, and vascular disease. We know that smoking ages us by staining our teeth, gives us bad breath, and makes our clothes and hair smell. Obviously, smoking is not going to lead anyone to the fountain of youth. So just in case you needed one more reason to quit smoking, here are a few answers to questions often asked.

Enhancing the shape, size and symmetry of your breasts can help improve your self image and can have many psychological and emotional benefits! Many women who need a breast lift also want more volume. A common request that we receive from our patients, is to have breast uplift and breast augmentation performed in one procedure.

It is perfectly normal for women to have two slightly different shaped or sized breasts.  There are times, however where the difference in size and shape of the breast is quite significant and can affect a woman’s self-esteem.  As much as 25-50% of women report having breast asymmetry that causes them concern. Some women have problems finding a bra that will fit their two different sized breasts in the one bra size.  Other women report looking lob-sided when wearing bathers or certain clothes. Breast asymmetry is a condition that can cause women a lot of concern and can affect what clothes they wear and their self-confidence.  At Cairns Plastic Surgery, we understand that the way you feel about your breasts can contribute to your overall self-esteem.   We offer a number of breast surgery options to correct breast asymmetry and help you to look and feel your best!  Our Specialist Plastic Surgeon, Dr Hertess can use breast implants to add volume to the breast or perform breast reduction or breast lift to match the breasts and remove the imbalance.
