Get involvedBreast implant illness diagnosis and treatment
Every year, about 20,000 women have breast implants in Australia, either for aesthetic enhancement or reconstruction after cancer.
However, a growing number of women have reported developing symptoms such as fatigue, brain fog and joint pain thought to be related to their implants. The condition, which can occur in the medium to long term after breast implant surgery, is recognised as breast implant illness.

Our Sydney-based integrated breast implant check clinics have led the way with improved safety and ensuring women with implants have the best outcomes. We are now offering assessment and treatment for breast implant illness, with a fast, convenient, affordable service, with no referral needed.
If you have breast implants, book a check-up today using the form below.
What can you expect at your check-up?
Our breast physician will conduct a thorough assessment of your breast implants and, if needed, arrange a no-cost, same-day ultrasound. The fee for the assessment is $175 – with a Medicare rebate of $108.85. If a surgical correction such as an explant or implant replacement is needed, we’ll give you a fast-track referral to one of our plastic and reconstructive surgeons.
Are you considering breast implant removal?
If you are considering having your implants removed, you can book a consultation with one of our specialist plastic and reconstructive surgeons. Our team specialises in explant surgery as well as aesthetic implant and non-implant-based breast surgery following explant, such as fat grafting and breast lift (mastopexy).
Who is on our expert team?
Our two specialist surgeons are Professor Anand Deva and Dr Justine O’Hara.
Professor Deva has almost 20 years’ experience in private practice and continues to cover the entire spectrum of cosmetic, plastic, reconstructive, hand and microsurgery. His special interests include cosmetic surgery of the face and breast. Dr Deva is passionate about ensuring that women continue to receive lifelong care after they receive breast implants.
Dr O’Hara is a plastic and reconstructive surgeon with more than 14 years’ experience nationally and internationally, with interests in facial aesthetics, body contouring, breast surgery, microsurgery, reconstruction and skin cancer. Dr O'Hara is available for appointments at the Macquarie Park clinic only.
