You may have seen the term “ballerina breasts” popping up lately, but the idea behind the trend is much less new.

Rather than focusing solely on size, it reflects a conversation around choosing an augmentation that works with your existing anatomy and proportions.

For some patients, this may mean a more subtle change in volume. But there’s no single implant size, shape or surgical approach that creates a “ballerina” result.

Breast augmentation planning considers factors including chest width, existing breast tissue, skin, breast shape and, importantly, your individual goals.

Because trends come and go. Your treatment plan should be based on you.

All surgery carries risks and requires recovery. Individual suitability, surgical options, risks and expected recovery are discussed during your consultation.

Breast augmentation isn’t just one procedure, there are a number of different approaches depending on your body and goals.

While implants are one option, growing research is also exploring fat transfer, which uses your own fat, as well as hybrid augmentation, which combines an implant with fat transfer.

There’s no one-size-fits-all approach. The most appropriate option depends on factors like your anatomy, goals and individual circumstances, which is why a consultation with a Specialist Plastic Surgeon is an important place to start.

Less isn’t always about looking less.

Not every conversation about breast surgery is about going bigger. For some women, breast size may be associated with physical symptoms or make certain activities more difficult.

Breast reduction planning considers much more than how much tissue is removed. Breast shape, skin, ni**le position, body proportions and individual circumstances can all play a role in determining the surgical approach.

The goal isn’t an arbitrary cup size, it’s a surgical plan tailored to the individual.

Breast reduction is major surgery and involves risks, scarring and recovery. Individual suitability, risks and expected recovery should be discussed with a suitably qualified surgeon.

New figures from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons show plastic surgery procedures were up 7% in 2025, with lift procedures seeing some of the biggest growth.

It’s interesting to see what’s trending, but popularity shouldn’t be the reason you choose a procedure. The right decision looks different for everyone and should come down to your goals, the right information and taking the time to consider your options.

Curious about a procedure? A one-on-one consultation with an appropriately qualified practitioner is the best place to start.

Preservé. The clue is in the name.

Newer approaches to breast augmentation often consider what can be preserved, rather than focusing on what’s being added.

Preservé™ is a tissue-preservation approach designed to create space for an implant while reducing disruption to certain native breast tissues and supporting structures compared with conventional augmentation techniques.

But less invasive doesn’t mean minor. Breast augmentation is still surgery, with risks, recovery and limitations to consider.

There’s also no one-size-fits-all approach. Whether Preservé™ or another technique is appropriate depends on your individual anatomy, existing tissue and goals.

New technique. Same rule: anatomy comes first.

Individual suitability, surgical options, risks and expected recovery should always be discussed during consultation with an appropriately qualified surgeon.

A very special moment for Dr Dilip Gahankari, attending his recent Order of Australia Medal (OAM) investiture ceremony with the Governor of Queensland, Her Excellency the Honourable Dr Jeannette Young AC PSM.

The ceremony marked the formal presentation of Dilip’s OAM and was a wonderful opportunity to reflect on the work and contribution that led to this recognition.

An incredibly proud moment for Dilip, his family and the entire team at Advanced Aesthetics. Congratulations, Dilip! 🤍

If you are considering a procedure in 2027, planning ahead can give you time to understand your options.

A complimentary consultation with our specially trained Registered Nurses is an opportunity to discuss your concerns and expectations, consider whether treatment is appropriate, understand the potential risks and recovery involved, and ask questions before making a decision.

Cosmetic surgery is an individual decision and is not appropriate for everyone.

Taking the time to become informed can help you make a decision that is right for your circumstances.

Thinking about a cosmetic treatment but not sure where to begin?

The first step is asking the right questions. Before deciding whether to proceed, consider:
✓ Why am I considering treatment?
✓ What outcome am I hoping to achieve?
✓ Have I discussed my expectations with an appropriately qualified health practitioner?
✓ Do I understand the potential risks, complications and limitations?
✓ How much recovery time may be required?
✓ Are there alternative or non-surgical options?
✓ What follow-up care may be needed?
✓ Have I given myself enough time to decide without pressure?

Cosmetic treatment is not suitable for everyone. A consultation provides an opportunity to discuss your individual circumstances, explore the available options and receive balanced information to support an informed decision.

How much recovery time will you need? There isn’t one recovery timeline that applies to everyone.

Recovery depends on the procedure performed, the individual patient and a range of other factors. Some treatments may involve relatively little downtime, while surgical procedures may require a longer period of reduced activity and follow-up.

During your consultation, Dr Gahankari will discuss the expected recovery for each procedure being considered, including relevant activity restrictions and follow-up requirements.

If you have work, travel, family or other commitments, these should be discussed when planning treatment.

Thinking about having a procedure before the end of the year?

Planning ahead is important because different procedures have different recovery requirements, and individual recovery can vary.

If you are considering treatment, an early consultation allows you to discuss your medical history, treatment options, potential risks, expected recovery and whether the timing is appropriate for you.

There is no need to rush a decision. Take the time to obtain the information you need and consider whether treatment is right for you.
