Breast Augmentation Results by Dr. Richardson using Motiva Ergonomix® breast implants. This patient was seeking a proportionate, breast augmentation result with a focus on increased breast size and shape, and fullness in the upper pole.

This custom result was achieved using 315cc (left) and 335cc (right) Ergonomix®, full (high profile) placed under the muscle supported with an internal bra. Results are 4 months post-op and will continue to settle and soften over the coming months.

Motiva Ergonomix® implants are designed to mimic the look and feel of natural breast tissue, adjusting shape with the patient's movements – appearing more teardrop in shape when upright and rounder when lying down.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month 🎀

Early detection saves lives. We encourage our community to prioritise regular self-checks and schedule recommended screenings. Supporting awareness is about more than treatment—it’s about prevention, education, and care 💕

Let’s stand together to raise awareness, support those affected, and continue the conversation around breast health. If you have any concerns, please visit your GP.

Breast Augmentation Mammoplasty is a highly individualised procedure and there is no 'best implant shape or size' for everyone.

Breast implants come in a variety of different profiles and sizes which will present differently on each patient for a custom result. Your anatomy plays a large role in implant selection and your surgeon will discuss your options in detail with you, explain what can realistically be achieved through surgery, and provide you with their recommendations to best achieve your desired outcome.

During a consultation, your surgeon will discuss your concerns, review your medical history, and detail associated potential risks and complications to determine whether surgery is suitable for you.

To learn more about breast augmentation and your breast implant options, please get in touch with us to book your one-on-one consultation with one of our specialist plastic surgeons.

⚠️ Warning: Graphic Content ⚠️

This patient presented with category 2 Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC – skin cancer) on her left cheek that required removal. Through careful examination and mapping, Dr Milap Rughani excised the skin cancer and performed a reconstruction by rotation flap repair with consideration of how this patient would heal, and approached the procedure using techniques to achieve minimal, blended scarring (swipe across for a close-up and her intra-operative before and after).

These images show this patient before and after BCC excision. After photos were taken 6 weeks following surgery. Intra-operative images show this patient before and immediately after surgery.

📌 Basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) are the most common type of skin cancer and are typically found on the face, ears, neck, scalp, legs and back. They rarely spread but can invade deeply if left untreated for too long. While some early BCCs can be managed without surgery, the majority are best treated through surgical excision.
