Beyond Breast Care

We are widely known as a leading surgery clinic in Sydney, offering breast implants, breast lifts, and breast reductions to those looking for cosmetic changes or regaining natural breast shape after childbirth or illness. However, our services extend beyond breast surgery.

Dr Yunaev is a well-respected General Surgeon who further specialises in a number of cosmetic and reconstructive surgeries for women.

  • Arm Lift (Brachioplasty): Removing extra skin and fat from the upper arm that isn’t responding to diet or exercise, or has appeared after significant weight changes.
  • Thigh Lift (Thighplasty): Addressing loose extra skin, fat, or tissue from the upper leg to give the appearance of smoother and more sculpted legs.
  • Labiaplasty: A cosmetic procedure to reduce the size of labia tissue folds, address asymmetry, or help with discomfort.
  • Tummy Tucks (Abdominoplasty): Removing excess, stretched skin and fat pads from the lower abdomen, while also tightening the underlying muscles.

We also support men with gynecomastia, which is characterised by excess breast tissue. Known as a male breast reduction, gynecomastia surgery can remove this tissue and help create a flatter or more “masculine” looking chest.

Dr Michael Yunaevworks closely with every patient to understand their concerns, needs and bodies, recommending the most suitable way forward for the best results.

What To Expect

Cosmetic and reconstructive surgery is a big and very personal decision, and we’re here to help you navigate every step. From the very first conversation through to post-surgical care, Dr Yunaev and our team will provide the highest quality care and constant, open communication.

1. Initial Consultation

Contact us online or call our clinic to book an initial consultation with Dr Michal Yunaev. During the consult, Dr Yunaev will discuss your key concerns, desired outcomes and reasons for pursuing surgery. He will assess your suitability for the procedure, explain what can realistically be achieved, and discuss potential risks, complications, and costs. 

2. Decision-Making Period

We will provide detailed written information about the procedure, costs, and what to expect. This cooling-off period lets you research, consider alternatives, seek a second opinion if desired, and ensure you’re making an informed choice.

3. Pre-Operative Preparation

Once you’ve decided to proceed, you’ll have a second consultation to finalise surgical plans and discuss specific details, such as incision placement and expected outcomes. Our team will schedule your surgery date and provide information about the hospital or surgical facility, as well as pre-operative instructions.

4. Surgery Day

Dr Michael Yunaev will confirm your procedure details, and you’ll have a final opportunity to ask questions. After surgery, you’ll spend time in recovery being monitored before being discharged (for day procedures) or admitted overnight (for more extensive operations).

5. Immediate Post-Operative Care

The first few days after surgery typically involve managing discomfort with prescribed pain relief, following wound care instructions, and watching for any signs of complications. We’ll check in with you during this time and be on call for any concerns.

6. Follow-Up Appointments

Your first post-operative review typically occurs within 1-2 weeks to assess healing progress, remove drains if applicable, and address any immediate concerns. Depending on the type of surgery, we may also schedule subsequent follow-ups in the weeks and months that follow. 

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between breast augmentation, lift, and reduction?

A breast augmentation increases the size of the breasts using implants or fat transfer.
A breast lift (mastopexy) repositions sagging breasts higher on the chest without significantly changing size.
A breast reduction removes tissue to decrease size and alleviate discomfort.
Some patients require combined procedures, such as an augmentation with a lift, for size and position correction.

What should I expect during my first consultation?

Your initial consultation involves discussing your goals, medical history, and expectations.
Dr Michael Yunaev will examine you, explain suitable options, discuss realistic outcomes,
and outline potential risks. Expect to see before-and-after photos and receive cost estimates.
This appointment typically lasts 30–60 minutes. Bring questions and don’t feel pressured to decide immediately.

Are cosmetic procedures covered by Medicare or private health insurance?

Purely cosmetic procedures typically aren’t covered by Medicare or private health insurance.
However, reconstructive surgeries following mastectomy, significant weight loss causing functional issues,
or procedures addressing medical problems may qualify for Medicare rebates and insurance coverage.
You’ll need a referral from your GP and a documented medical necessity.
Check with your insurer about specific coverage and waiting periods.

Will I need to stay in the hospital overnight after surgery?

This depends on the procedure’s extent. Breast augmentation and labiaplasty are often day surgery procedures
with same-day discharge. More extensive operations like abdominoplasty, multiple procedures, or surgeries
requiring drains typically involve an overnight stay. Dr Yunaev will advise based on the
specific surgery planned and your individual circumstances.

Can I combine multiple procedures in one surgery session?

Yes, combining procedures is common and can reduce overall recovery time and costs.
Popular combinations include “mummy makeovers” (breast and abdomen procedures) or body contouring after
weight loss. However, surgery duration and safety considerations limit what can be safely combined.
Dr Yunaev will assess your health, desired procedures, and whether combining them is
advisable during consultation.
