For many women, our breasts symbolise our most feminine physical characteristic. But for various reasons — lack of development, post- pregnancy changes, weight loss — you may be considering breast augmentation.

A successful procedure shouldn’t necessarily look obviously different … in fact the success hinges on the doctor’s surgical technique and attention to detail. Sydney’s Dr Kourosh Tavakoli aims to achieve a natural fullness, with gentle sloping off the chest wall. Natural cleavage is a must, while the right degree of perkiness can make all the difference.

Dr Tavakoli uses both saline-filled and cohesive silicone-gel implants, adding that the new-generation silicone-gel version is very safe and feels and looks more like a natural breast. The Australian-trained plastic surgeon is also obsessed with minimal scarring. Just another reason why Dr Tavakoli has one of this country’s busiest breast implant practices.
