I found Dr Van Beem really approachable, kind and took the time to listen and explain the process to me. I have had many surgeries over my life and was very nervous about getting a breast reduction but was put at ease from the very first appointment. I was very pleased on how quickly I have been recovering and it is only 3 weeks post op!My scars are so very thin and I tend to scar quite badly (genetics). Friends who have seen the results are very impressed at how good they look

Hi. I suffer from debilitating health anxiety and wake up most mornings convinced I have cancer. I have a wonderful GP, family and friends, thank God. I decided after 13 years of having implants that I wanted rid. I was always in and out of GP with all manner of concerns and was aware that I was becoming very focused on my breasts. I felt uncomfortable sensations, and they were hard as I do full contact sports and had built up muscle etc. My GP sent me off for mammogram and an

I had tuberoys breasts. It was so difficult to find a doctor who I felt comfortable to do the procedure. Eventually I did, and he messed my breasts up so badly, and I had to get revision done. Van Beem was so amazingly calming. When I walked into his office in tears- he was instantly calming and tried to relax me and assure me that everything would be ok. I just knew from his demeanour that he would be the doctor I would see- as I was terrified it would all go wrong again. I

Have just recently went for my consultaiton in Perth, Western Australia. I loved my surgeon and he made me feel very comfortable and listened to what I wanted and why I was there.

So hopefully they won't look to small and I do not want them to look too massive either. Very nervous but also excited, can't wait for this two weeks to pass! Will upload before

I’ve had saggy boobs for as long as I can remember, but pregnancy and breast feeding took my sagginess to a whole new level. I have finally taken the plunge, thanks in part to the many women on this site who have shared their experiences and given me the confidence to go for it! I had my surgery yesterday and so far, m feeling pretty happy :) Updated on 18 Oct 2017: Not comfortable about sharing these... Updated on 18 Oct 2017: Pretty happy with what I can see so far. I’m

I'm 27 years old and have had massive boobs for what feels like forever. I got all the unwanted attention throughout school and found myself unable to embrace my breasts. As time went on, pain became a daily issue. My lower back has a constant dull ache and I find myself unable to sit or stand for long periods of time. I am seeking a reduction for medical reasons so I am able to run, be active and do gymnastics again. My first consultation is in 2 weeks! Updated on 21 Sep 2017: I

I am 37yo with 2 kids (6yo and 9months). Breastfeeding and having large children (my husband is 6'6") has taken its toll on my body. I am the last person you expect to have plastic surgery however I no longer want to look like I'm 6months pregnant. This is the largest I've ever been including pregnancy. I've always been slim to normal weight. Since having our second child I have found that despite going to the gym 4-6 x week trialling different classes, eating clean - I am
