Feel more comfortable and confident with a breast reduction with or without implants, which can reduce size while improving shape and positioning.
Make a positive change in your life with a breast reduction without implants, or the procedure with implants to improve the youthful appearance and positioning of your breasts. Both options are available with the expert team at PCLS.
Breast reduction with implant surgery can alleviate back and shoulder pain while also decreasing levels of unwanted attention. This commonly performed plastic surgery procedure, when handled by a specialist like Dr Arianayagam involves minimal scarring and reduced downtime and is a great way to boost confidence and comfort.

What is the PCLS process?
Step 1
A consultation with Dr Arianayagam to discuss your goals and expectations, showing any pictures of breasts that you like.
Step 2
An evaluation of your current health situation, medications, allergies, and past medical treatments, along with an examination of your breasts. Here we will discuss the options available while making the best recommendation for you.
Step 3
Help to better prepare by talking to previous patients who have undergone a similar procedure to hear their personal stories and experiences.
Step 4
A second consultation is held to answer your questions and make sure you are entirely comfortable with the decision to move forward.
Step 5
Surgery is performed under general anaesthesia, inclusive of a one night stay for post-operative care and monitoring.

Frequently Asked Questions
PCLS Coffs Harbour specialises in making any scars that are a result of the procedure as minimal as possible. We do this with fine stitches and strategic incision positioning. This, coupled with the fact that scars will fade over time, especially with the correct after-treatment care, means any incisions should be difficult to see.
If you are considering children post-procedure, it is important to discuss this with Dr Arianayagam during your consultation as breastfeeding may be interfered with.
We will certainly uncover this during our in-depth consultation process if this is the case. This is why we schedule two appointments and offer our recommendations. You will have ample time to ensure this is the correct surgical path for you.
There is a level of risk with any surgical procedure, however, this is severely minimised as a result of the skills and experience of our team.
