Dr Ross I was so afraid of having surgery on my face for so many years! Thats what happens when you watch blotched! I remember when you told me it was nothing but deep down I was really scared. I have seen others who had the same procedure and they still have this hanging skin. I remember you explaining to me the difference between a cosmetic surgeon and a plastic surgeon. I guess you get what you pay for. Thank you for the amazing work you did removing those FAT PADS under my eyes and the EXCESS SKIN including upper eye lid. Was I scared even after the surgery - YES. Did it hurt? NO except for when you removed the stitches. You could see the results. I couldn't. You kept telling me the swelling is going down and it wasn't till I came back to have some more stitches and an eye lash that looked like a stitch after swelling went down that I could see the enormous difference! I thought my right eye was permanently going to droop after surgery but you were right! It was just slower to heal compared to the left! Thank you for staying optimistic and your smile when I squealed when you removed the stitches! all worth it! Im glad we maintained the first 48 hrs, changing the ice packs every 1/2 hr and then every hour till the 72 mark. I was so scared I made sure we stuck to your directions. Its been nearly 3 months now and what a difference! I don't know why I ended up having fat pads but Im glad to finally have them gone. Finally I look 55 and not older than my age! I have highly recommended you to family and friends and explained sometimes you just have to pay to get the result. Please buy that ice maker I suggested so that before you pull out stitches you really make the area cold!!! I guess it wasn't that bad because I was still bruised when the first lot you pulled out. I guess everyone is different and not to forget I am on blood thinners so that wouldn't have helped. No infection either which I'm also prone to. Also your staff are amazing and optimistic too! Thanks again Dr Ross. See you soon... and cant wait till the 12months for the final look! warmest regards Roula
Performed on my teenage son approximately 5 months ago. Amazing job. I was concerned the ears would appear too pulled back but I think Dr Ross got the perfect result. My son is very happy with the results (we should have done it sooner).
Two months ago I finally went ahead with my breast reduction after wanting it done since I was 15 I’m now 22 years old and I’m so happy with my results, Dr Ross did the most amazing job! He made me feel really comfortable, I’m so thankful for him. Ladies if you are thinking about going ahead with a breast reduction this is your push to do it, it will change your life I promise.
My experience with Dr Ross and the Bayside Plastic Surgery team has been an incredible journey. I am a 30 year old female and had never had surgery before. Going into my consultation I was extremely nervous and am generally an anxious person and the thought of getting surgery was uncomfortable however, Dr Ross reassured me every step of the way. I had a Septorhinoplasty and turbinate removal with Dr Ross in September. I had various breathing issues and was not happy with the shape of my nose. I am now 6 weeks post op and am absolutely loving my new nose and have never breathed fresher air than now. It hasn't even healed yet and the results are amazing! Dr Ross genuinely cared about my concerns and exceeded my expectations. He is kind, honest, transparent and extremely experienced and knowledgeable. Having a nose surgery is a scary experience but the team Danni and Terri and Dr Ross were there to support my concerns every step of the way. Danni and Terri are both amazing and understanding of the process, they helped me get through my anxiety! I can’t rate the team highly enough, they are incredible and would recommend Dr Ross to anyone having surgery. I feel like my life has just begun and have gained a new level of confidence. It has been life changing for me and I have absolutely no regrets! Thank you Dr Ross and team :)
I'm elated with the results of my facial rejuvenation. There's no indications of having had surgery on my face. It all looks so natural. My aim was to remove signs of ageing and weight loss. My eyelids were drooping. I had nasolabial folds and marionette lines. My neck was sagging. Six weeks after surgery the folds and lines are gone. My eyes are bigger than before and my neck has never been smoother. The definition of my jaw line has returned. Being squeamish I had tried to avoid surgery for years. When I finally decided to bite the bullet and go ahead with it, I was determined to find a surgeon that I had confidence in and felt comfortable with. I'm so grateful I made the right choice in choosing Mr Ross. It's been smooth sailing from the initial enquiry on 11th May 2021 through to today which was my third post operation consultation. I had consulted two other surgeons in Melbourne for this procedure and chose Mr Ross for two reasons. After meeting him, his direct openness and honesty made me feel like I was going to be in safe hands. Secondly, I found his practice manager, Danni, to be genuinely caring and helpful. All of my concerns were addressed and this means a lot to me. Thank you so much Mr Ross and Danni. I now feel like I've started a new life.
After a year of research and talking to surgery, which made me nervous and worried if I was going to do the right thing in having body life after losing over 80kg. Every time I spoke to a Doctor I would leave and start to think about not doing it. This was until I come across Dr Ross and his amazing Staff member Danni, Who from the first appointment they made everything so easy. They never push one thing or the other, They lay out all my options and explain them so well that when it was time for me to choose, I felt at easy with my option. When it come to the surgery and the hospital stay, I could not again say anything bad about the full time I was in the hospital. from the moment I walk in the front door, I felt at easy all the way and the nurses where so amazing that I did not want to be discard. The recover has been great, all my scars look great and have not had any problems with anything, but I know if I did have a problem they would be look after. I can't thank Dr Ross and Danni enough for everything they have done for me thought my surgery and I can't stop telling everyone how great of a job they have done.
I recently had a facial rejuvenation with Dr Ross and I found him to be a straight talker. He told me what to expect and didn't talk up my procedure which I appreciated. He was punctual and reasonably priced. He made himself available before and after the surgery if I should have any concerns. His staff where friendly, comforting and efficient. I'm happy with the results. I wouldn't however go to Mesada hospital again.
I had a breast reduction and lift with Dr Ross and I couldn’t be happier! He was friendly and knowledgeable and made me feel comfortable from start to finish. I wouldn’t go anywhere else for a procedure! I started off at a 14 G/H and whilst I didn’t want to loose everything I am now a very happy 14DD and for the first time in my life am able to not wear a bra! He gave me realistic expectations and results and his post op care was great including the girls following up from the clinic.
I have known David for 8 years and soon after my first consultation i knew i had found my surgeon. David has a lovely combination of professionalism and is a very caring human being. At the age of 58 (then) i intended to have a mid face lift, lower eyelids and a neck lift. I was very unhappy with the way i was beginning to look. Lacking in confidence and self-esteem. Every time i consulted David, had an assessment, set a date for surgery i got cold feet and cancelled. David did not treat me any different. His patience of his amazing team Kerry and Allyssa remained the same. They continued their support and did not push me to pencil a spot for surgery. In December 2016 i requested David for yet another assessment and confirmed a surgery date for March 20, 2017. I was determined but terrified, David and his team helped me through easing my fears. I requested David to accompany me to the operating theatre and he kindly obliged. This wonderful team of three helped me rebuild my confidence, self esteem and life. I am very happy with the outcome of my 3 procedures. I feel and look refreshed and rejuvenated. Even though it took me 8 long years to get to where i am now, it was worth it. I am a happier me at 66 years old! Thank you David, Kerry and Allyssa! I thoroughly recommend David Ross and his very efficient team!
I had a breast reduction with David Ross and am very happy with the results. I'm 2 months post op and besides obvious scarring that needs to heal over time, the shape and lift is pretty perfect. I was happy with the after care. I would recommend him for a breast reduction.
When planning body contouring surgery after weight loss a number of factors are important. Firstly it is important that your weight loss has plateaued at a reasonable level. Most surgeons would prefer BMI of less than 30 for a number of months before embarking on surgery.Each procedure can be prioritized by the patient but my recommendation is truncal surgery first, then breasts arms and finally, thighs usually leads to the best results. The order is determined individually and your surgeon should be able to explain an appropriate plan with you preoperatively.
From 2016 in Australia body lift surgery has been funded by Medicare for patients who have undergone extensive weight loss..Although the exact weight loss differs if its more than 20kg from your heaviest weight you will usually qualify and if you also have private health insurance the procedure will be extensively covered. In that case surgery may cost as little as $5000 out of pocket for a simple case but with increasing complexity. less weight loss and less insurance cover it maybe up to $15,000 including hospital and anaesthetic costs. All costs are individualised depending on the surgical requirements and we would encourage presenting for a full medical assessment before an applicable costing can be provided. Good Luck.
