Updated: 2 days ago



Breast augmentation is a personal decision for individuals looking to enhance their breast size and shape. It’s important to approach this procedure with a clear understanding of your options, what’s involved, and what to expect.


Below, you’ll find an overview of the consultation process, available surgical options, and typical costs in Perth. This information is provided to help you make an informed decision in consultation with your qualified healthcare professional.


Your Breast Augmentation Options

  1. Breast Implants This option involves using a prosthetic implant (usually silicone or saline) to increase breast volume.

  2. Fat Grafting For a natural approach, this technique uses fat from your own body (typically from areas like the thighs or abdomen) transplanted to the breast to enhance the size and shape.

Some women consider combining these techniques to help them reach their aesthetic goals. For more information on these two augmentation options, click here.
