    I was never keen on cosmetic surgery but recently had some work done on my face and now feel that I have overcome my fear and would like to have other things done.

    I have large breasts and have excess weight around my middle. I would say it isn't loose by a bit saggy after loosing weight.

    I am based in Perth and curious to find out what type of surgery would improve my bust line and be appropriate to help the muffin top. and I am also curious find out the cost involved.

    I am trying to fix the situation the hard way by exercise, diet , but not having much luck.

    Once you are at your healthy sustainable best from a realistic  perspective, then cosmetic medical interventions can help if further help is needed.

    Might include abdominal liposuction or abdominoplasty.

    Might include breast reduction by formal incisional surgery or by liposuction.
