Procedure · Tasmania
Breast implants in Tasmania.
Dr Kishen Nara consults on breast augmentation at the Cooee rooms on Tasmania's north-west coast — the primary Tasmania consult location, where most Tasmanian breast implant consultations are held. For patients in the south, alternate consult dates are scheduled at Hobart approximately every two months.
The conversation
Two consultations, around the visit cadence
A breast implants consultation with Dr Nara in Tasmania is generally an hour. The Cooee rooms are the primary Tasmania consult location, and most Tasmanian patients are seen there. The structure is the same as at our Melbourne and Adelaide clinics: a private examination room, a chaperone present, the conversation paced by you. Dr Nara will examine the anatomy, measure tissue thickness and chest dimensions, and explain implant type, surface, volume and pocket-plane options.
Because Dr Nara visits Tasmania on selected dates rather than weekly, the two-consultation process is generally arranged around the visit cadence. The first consultation can be in person at Cooee or at the alternate Hobart dates, or — particularly for patients who would prefer to begin remotely — by Zoom. A second consultation before any commitment is encouraged, often during the next in-person visit.
A formal written cooling-off period applies between consultation and any cosmetic procedure, in line with Medical Board of Australia guidelines. A second medical opinion is encouraged at any stage. A written quote — when one is provided — is itemised.
Travelling to Cooee — or to Hobart
A practical note for Tasmanian patients
Cooee sits on the Bass Highway, a short drive from Burnie. Patients travel to Cooee for breast augmentation from across the north-west coast — Burnie, Devonport, Ulverstone, Penguin, Wynyard, Somerset, Latrobe, Sheffield, Smithton — and across to Launceston, Deloraine and the northern midlands. On-site parking is available, and the rooms are quiet around the time of the appointment.
For patients closer to the south — Hobart, Sandy Bay, South Hobart, Glenorchy, Lutana, New Town, Battery Point, Bellerive, Tranmere, Kingston, Blackmans Bay, Howrah, Lindisfarne, Moonah and the wider Hobart suburbs — the alternate Hobart consult location runs approximately every two months at 71 Bathurst Street in the centre of the city. Reception will tell you which is the soonest available consult location.
Procedures themselves are performed at accredited Australian hospital facilities. Depending on the procedure and your individual circumstances, this may be in Tasmania or on the mainland. Many patients combine a Tasmania consultation with a procedure in Melbourne; Dr Nara will discuss what suits your timing at consultation.
The procedure, in brief
Implant selection that fits the patient
Breast augmentation with implants involves placing a TGA-approved breast implant under the breast tissue and / or pectoralis major muscle to add volume and shape. The decision points are individual — implant type (round vs teardrop), surface (smooth vs textured), volume (commonly between 245cc and 450cc, occasionally outside this range), incision (inframammary, periareolar), and pocket plane (subglandular, dual plane, or submuscular).
A full clinical overview, including the risks specific to breast implants — bleeding, infection, capsular contracture, implant malposition, rippling, sensation change, BIA-ALCL risk, and the long-term need for review — is on the breast implants pillar page. Information on revision and removal is on the revision breast implants and breast implant removal pages.
Cosmetic surgery carries risks. These are discussed openly at consultation, in the context of your circumstances. The risks of surgery page gives a fuller factual overview.
