Breast Surgery

Dr Rohit Kumar FRACS (Plas) performs the full spectrum of breast surgical procedures from his Leichhardt consulting rooms, with surgery at Westmead Private Hospital. Procedures include breast augmentation with Mentor implants (subglandular, subpectoral, and dual-plane), breast lift (mastopexy) with or without implants, breast reduction, asymmetry correction, implant revision and removal, fat grafting to the breast, male breast reduction (gynaecomastia), nipple and areola surgery, and BIA-ALCL assessment and treatment. Medicare rebates are available for medically indicated cases.

Breast surgery at Sydney Cosmetic Sanctuary in Leichhardt, Sydney, is performed by Dr Rohit Kumar — a Fellow of the Royal Australian College of Surgeons (FRACS, Plastics) with over 20 years of surgical experience and more than 15,000 procedures completed across his career. Dr Kumar is a member of the Australasian Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (ASAPS) and holds a VMO appointment at Nepean Public Hospital, reflecting his standing within the New South Wales public and private healthcare systems. Breast augmentation at the practice uses Mentor brand implants in a range of profiles and volumes, with pocket placement — subglandular, subpectoral, or the more nuanced dual-plane position — selected based on each patient's existing tissue coverage, body frame, and desired outcome. Dual-plane placement is often recommended for patients with minimal native breast tissue to reduce the risk of visible implant edges while maintaining a natural ptotic fall. Breast lift surgery (mastopexy) addresses ptosis (drooping) that develops after pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight loss, or with age. Dr Kumar performs the procedure as a standalone reshaping operation or in combination with augmentation implants for patients seeking both volume and position correction. Breast reduction surgery removes excess glandular tissue, fat, and skin to relieve physical symptoms including neck and back pain, shoulder grooving, and skin maceration under the breast fold; these cases frequently qualify for Medicare rebates when appropriate clinical thresholds are met. Implant revision, replacement, and removal procedures are available for patients experiencing complications with prior augmentation — including capsular contracture, implant malposition, rupture, or BIA-ALCL — and require careful preoperative planning using current imaging. Fat grafting to the breast uses autologous adipose tissue harvested by liposuction and processed before reinjection, offering a natural augmentation option with no implant materials. Male breast reduction (gynaecomastia correction) targets glandular hypertrophy or adipose excess in the male chest through a combination of glandular excision and liposuction. All breast surgery patients in Sydney receive a 12-month post-operative follow-up program included within the surgical fee.
