Comprehensive breast surgery services including breast augmentation with implants, breast lift (mastopexy), breast reduction, asymmetry correction, implant removal and revision, fat grafting to the breast, tuberous breast correction, and gynecomastia surgery for male patients. Performed by FRACS plastic surgeon Dr Cameron Keating at Hobart Private Hospital. All surgical options discussed in detail at a personalised consultation.

Hobart Plastic Surgery offers the full spectrum of breast surgical procedures under the care of Dr Cameron Keating (MBBS BMedSc FRACS Plastic Surgery), a Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons with extensive training in plastic and reconstructive surgery. Breast augmentation uses silicone or saline implants placed via an inframammary, periareolar, or transaxillary incision in the submuscular or subglandular plane, with implant type, profile, and projection selected following detailed assessment of each patient's anatomy and goals. Breast lift (mastopexy) repositions the nipple-areola complex and reshapes the breast envelope in patients with ptosis due to weight loss, pregnancy, or age-related tissue descent; this may be combined with augmentation where volume enhancement is also desired. Breast reduction addresses macromastia — enlarged, heavy breasts causing back, neck, and shoulder pain, posture difficulties, and skin irritation — by resecting excess glandular tissue and skin and elevating the nipple-areola complex. The clinic also offers breast implant removal, implant exchange and revision, and fat grafting to the breast as a natural augmentation or contour-refinement option. Tuberous breast correction addresses constricted lower pole breast anatomy. Gynecomastia surgery for male patients involves excision of excess glandular breast tissue, often combined with liposuction of the chest, to create a flatter, more masculine chest contour. Dr Keating runs a dedicated breast implant surveillance clinic for patients with silicone gel implants, providing monitoring and clinical review aligned with Australian regulatory guidance. Located opposite Hobart Private Hospital in Tasmania's capital, the clinic serves patients across Hobart and regional Tasmania seeking specialist plastic surgical care without travelling to the mainland.
