From my Initial Consultation with Dr Chinsee right through to my follow ups and post op care I cannot fault him and the whole process. He listened to my concerns, wants and ideal outcome and so far has been an amazing experience I would do all over again If I had to. I had a removal and replacement of old recalled implants, a full Mastopexy with areola reduction and new implants also put in place. The whole process has been smooth and recovery has been far easier than I expected, my incisions are clean and neat and scars should fade nicely. Would not hesitate to recommend Dr Chinsee and his team. He has the best Nurse Justine supporting through the whole process and even the silliest questions I had she answered for me to put my mind at ease everytime. Thank you for giving me my confidence back!! Worth every cent!!
I had a mastopexy and augmentation with Dr Chinsee in May 2018, and he and his staff have been nothing short of amazing throughout my entire journey. Due to a genetic connective tissue disorder, I required a further 3 scar revisions to reduce the hypertrophic scarring that had developed - the most recent being March 2020. Throughout all of this, Dr Chinsee has always taken the time to listen to my concerns, answer all questions, and explain everything very well. The communication I received as a patient was excellent, including detailed post op instructions and fabulous post op care from Dr Chinsee and his team. I booked my consultation with him after a referral from multiple people, and have passed along his details to others as well. I highly recommend him and his work.
After 5 kids and losing almost 50kg my breasts were really saggy & deflated, they made my really self conscious. I had my a mastoplexy & implants with Dr Chinsee 8 weeks ago and I am really loving my results! The whole experience has been amazing, Dr Chinsee was great at helping me choose the right implants to help me achieve my desired look, the procedure went prefectly and the aftercare & follow up have been amazing. The whole team are really caring & approachable. Updated on 16 Sep 2020: I really hated my breasts before, I called them my sad fried eggs & I used to try & shove them in to push up bras just to try and give me some shape. Definitely not a problem anymore! I am still healing but I am really loving how they are looking and I can't wait to see final results.
I had a breast lift with implants about 6 months ago. It was a big decision and something that I’ve been wanting to do for years and I am glad that I finally took the plunge! Dr Chinsee is a very caring surgeon, I cannot fault any part of my journey, from consultation to surgery to postoperative care with his nurse. Even 6 months later I still am getting regular emails checking in. Thank you Dr Chinsee for changing my life! - A XOX
The entire process from consult to aftercare was fantastic. Dr Chinsee and his nursing team were extremely supportive. I am now. Over a year post surgery and already looking forward to booking my next surgery with Dr. Chinsee.
I had dreamt about BA surgery for 15 years. After months of research I decided that Dr Chinsee was the surgeon who I wanted to do my procedure. I’m 173cm tall weighing 62kgs. I explained to Dr Chinsee that I wanted a very natural look, so people would wonder - has she or hasn’t she!? Dr Chinsee advises me to go for 375cc duel plane, high profile MOTIVA implants. So I took his advise and exactly what I asked for is exactly what I got!! Dr Chinsee is amazing... he fully explained the procedure, answered all my questions and told me exactly what to expect during my recovery. He is a very gentle man with an immaculate bed side manner! Dr C’s behind the scene girls (Bree and Justine) were also amazing! They were so helpful, encouraging and very happy to take the time to talk me thru any of my nervous concerns leading up to the surgery! Now 8 months post op, and I could not be happier! Hands down, 100% Dr Chinsee!
I had a breast augmentation and Benelli Lift about 3 months ago. I’m a massive stresshead so I spent so much time researching the procedure and everything to do with it. But Dr Chinsee was lovely, he listened to all my concerns, and even let me have a second consult to go through things again as I forget a lot from the first appointment due to nerves. His bedside manner put me at ease instantly, and the actual procedure was great- I hardly had any pain (except for the first few days). My result is outstanding, and I’m so happy I did it. I can’t recommend Dr Chinsee and his team enough! I love my new boobies. P.s sorry to Dr Chinsee’s Nurse that had to deal with all my stresshead texts at odd hours! You were so patient and kind! Thank you for putting up with me!!!
Amazing. Cannot recommend him enough to people!! So kind, friendly, patient and calming to people with extreme anxiety like myself. I was so scared for my procedure but not only did dr Ian chinsee was so caring but also his team! The Most supportive team who talked me through step by step and no question was a stupid question!
So after nearly four years in total of breastfeeding I had a deflated but otherwise lovely (imo lol) B cup and just wanted a bit more fullness again. I told my doctor I wanted to be just one cup size bigger so I could look a bit more in proportion. I know huge boobs just wont suit me or my personality. I was originally thinking around 200cc but he suggested 320cc and the sizers looked good so we went with this. Definitely mod profile as I didn't want them projecting out too much more. I wanted to just have something there but not have it be really noticeable under clothes. None of my colleagues or anyone outside my immediate family know so I didn't want it to be obvious. I'd been wearing two padded bras at once for ages so hopefully later a light bra will look almost the same under clothes. So I had it done today and have actual boobs now... And they seem very good! I took a picture of my sweet little boobs this morning for posterity. When I got up and got undressed for my shower I looked in the mirror and thought 'what am I doing??? I look alright!' But then when I put my shirt of after I was like 'yeah, I need this'. And so I went through with it. I shaved my legs and dressed normally, packed a shopping bag with a tracksuit and water bottle for later. And this might seem weird - I walked to the bus stop after saying good bye to my kids, caught the bus and then a train. The train station was only a kilometre from the hospital I had to go to so I figured I'd go for a nice little walk while I still could. All morning I didn't feel nervous at all. I kept waiting for it to kick it but it never did. Anyway, after inquiring at reception I finally found where I had to go. Waited around for a while for the receptionist/admin lady to sort my forms out, signed a couple of things, then carried my folder and paperwork myself up to the theatre. I walked in to the waiting area and a friendly nurse met me, did more paperwork with me, took my blood pressure and stuff. I went to the toilet and put a surgical gown and foot covers on. Waited a little longer. The nice nurse took me into the recovery area and I laid on a bed. The anaesthetist and another nurse came and put a cannula in (got it on the second try), did some more checks. I found myself in a strangely jovial mood, making jokes and feeling rather light-hearted. The anaesthetist had stuck his head in initially and I said 'next victim?' which made him laugh. Nobody likes down-in-the-mouth patients! They wheeled me into theatre and I got over onto the actual surgery table, which was like skinny bed. This is the point I had expected to feel a bit nervous. I guess I did, a little, but for some reason was compensating for it by being jokey. Everybody was happy and so lovely in there, it was a good vibe which put me at ease. I'm not sure when they put the 'sleep serum' into my line, because they never mentioned it. A nurse was holding an oxygen mask on my face and I was telling her it wasn't giving my enough air, so she held it away a little. Next thing I know I'm waking up from some relaxing dream, feeling very cosy and comfortable. But I was pulling at the oxygen mask and trying to take deep breaths. A nurse I hadn't seen before came over, seeing that I was waking up and said I could take it off. I didn't feel any pain at all at this point. I shuffled myself up a bit and laid with my knees sticking up, sort of dozing on and off for a while. Last time I'd seen the time it had been 9:09. In the brief periods where I was more awake I asked the nurse for water, what time it was, how long I'd been asleep. She bought me water, told me it was ten to 11 and that I'd been sleeping for an hour. So my actual procedure only took an hour, if that! When I'd woken up my throat wasn't sore from the tube, but I felt like I'd been sleeping all night with my mouth open, just really dry. Anyway I slowly woke up more, ate possibly the best tasting sandwich of my life, and another nurse made me two wonderful cups of tea. I rested and chatted with a girl that had just had abdominoplasty. NOW the pain had well and truly kicked in and was rapidly getting worse. I told them it was about a 4 on the scale. Not quite enough to make me teary. I laid back with my eyes squinted closed at times, but I still managed to drink my tea. They came and gave me an Endone, after pre-emptively putting some anti-nausea stuff in my line. I finally got up and went to the loo. I hadn't really looked down yet but I didn't seem massive thankfully. When I saw myself in the mirror (with a loose top on) I thought 'oh thank goodness'. I looked similar to how I'd look normally with my two bras on. Just a bit fuller all round. Phew! I look like I did when my milk came in after having babies. If you've had kids then getting this done will feel like a snap in comparison. That's the only other hospital experience I personally have to compare it to, and mine were not complicated births, just dreadfully painful of course! Anyway I went home about 12:30 and have only taken panadeine forte since. I actually feel fine. I was sleepy though and had just moments of fairly mild nausea through the afternoon. I rested til my kids came home after 3pm then went to the park with them and also went for a walk with my mum! I was really surprised at how normal I felt! Just achy and uncomfortable. I still played and talked with my kids and they didn't really pick up on anything being different. The swelling has definitely increased throughout the afternoon and evening though. I look bigger than I did immediately after surgery. I'm looking forward to it all settling back down! And when I does I'm pretty sure I'll be able to go back to work without it being noticeable. I haven't looked properly but from what I can see they just look like they used to when they were really engorged with milk. So my boobs have been this big before. But the top parts are getting more swollen by the hour and they even feel slightly itchy. I guess this will get better over the next couple of days. Maybe I did do too much this arv. I wondering if the pain will peak tomorrow. So far it's been SO much better than expected though! And the people at Canossa were wonderful! Will post more when they settle a bit. I haven't taken the bra off at all yet. I did manage a waist-down shower and the rest with a washer so I feel clean and human though! Updated on 12 Sep 2017: I expected to wake up in a lot of pain this morning but it's been fine. It's mainly uncomfortable, achy and tight. Yesterday it was the cut muscle which seemed be hurting (and if I accidentally tensed that muscle oh mama) but today I feel like it's the actual pocket that's just sore and swollen. I can feel new swelling around near my armpits and even lower down on my ribs. But it's still very bearable, I've only taken Panadeine forte this morning and am still able to walk around the house just fine. Made a cup of tea, tidied the kitchen a bit, put a load of washing on, talked to my kids and hugged them very carefully before they went off to school. I do wonder if I should have pushed to go a little smaller. My doctor had said if I did it might 'not be worth it' but I think it still would have. I care more about them looking good, rather than just looking big. I would have been happy putting 150cc in. I think they'll be fine though and hope they'll turn out the right size to dress up or down when I want to. As long as they look great, even if still smallish I wasn't concerned about getting value for money volume wise. My procedure was very inexpensive too - only $6k. My doctor is a cosmetic surgeon, not a full-on plastic surgeon which is why it was cheaper than others. But I figured this is their bread and butter, its very routine for them and fairly uncomplicated as far as surgery goes so I was fine with it. If it was going to cost $10k I wouldn't have bothered - probably because I wasn't that unhappy really. Just part of trying to be the best 'me' I can be! One unexpected side effect - I'm feeling really, really bloody chatty lol. I couldn't shut up yesterday. I'm usually a quiet person, and it's weird because I've barely thought or spoken about this since I booked it months ago - and now I can't stop talking! Might have been the meds, haha. I nearly drove my mum crazy yesterday raving on, so hopefully writing here has been a good enough outlet for me for now! I still have the surgical bra on so might take a pic once I'm able to take it off. I actually have idea when I'm meant to go back for a follow up visit(s). Hopefully they'll ring me today and let me know :) Updated on 12 Sep 2017: Updated on 13 Sep 2017: About 34 hours after surgery - I had a quick look and am feeling pretty happy about everything :) Still painful of course, but very bearable. Just sitting down I feel fine. More discomfort than pain. I can't imagine what it would be like for people who get bigger ones! Ouch. I can't see any blood near my incisions at all and no bruising seems to have come out...yet. Updated on 14 Sep 2017: Woke up this morning feeling groggy but okay. I slept propped up on pillows in bed rather than in my recliner and this seemed to be a bit better. Or it could be that the swelling is just starting to go down slightly. The pain isn't too bad now. I'm still very slow and careful getting around. The incisions are starting to itch a bit. My main problem today is tiredness and a terrible headache. I don't think I'm going to take anymore Endone. I'd only taken a few so far and they hadn't made me sick. Mostly I'd relied on Pandeine Forte but I ran out of that overnight. So this morning I took an Endone to try to stop the headache but it didn't seem to work. I felt just awful and freezing cold. I fell asleep for a few hours and woke up still with the headache. I tried to eat some soup but couldn't. I'd only had toast earlier this morning. The last few days I've been eating just fine. I started feeling very very sick and ended up puking after midday. Ugh, it was awful. But I feel better now. Still weak and tired and shaky. I'm tentatively trying to eat a little. No more Endone! Just panadol should do me now. Maybe I didn't have enough in my stomach when I took it, I don't know. I've been feeling loopy and a bit confused at times over the last few days too. Not sure if it's only due to that but I'm sure it wouldn't have helped. Anyway, the pain isn't too bad now. I'm just tired. The boobies feel a tiny bit softer today, especially the left. The right one is really the only one that ever hurts, maybe because it was a stronger muscle. There's a bit of bruising showing up now underneath but it's not bothering me. I'll try to take a photo later tonight if I feel a bit better. I hope everyone else in these early stages is healing well! I love that I found this site - just full of lovely supportive people x Updated on 17 Sep 2017: Not feeling sick anymore, thankfully. The pain is also not a bother most of the time so I'm not taking anything at all now. I think the swelling is settling so the feeling of tightness is pretty much gone. Muscle-wise it just feels strange. I can get a shirt on and off fairly easily now and can do little household things, but then other simple things like clicking a nozzle onto a garden hose completely defeat me lol. I'm too scared yet to try using my arms to help me get up and things like that. Hopefully that will all just gradually return without me noticing too much. The main source of my pain is my right boob and it's not the muscle, it's just some random area underneath the side. It really bothers me when I lean over or reach. I'm hoping that will get better in it's own time too. That side is still more swollen but I've noticed that's happened with a lot of other people on here too. I took a quick pic tonight and I can't notice any difference really. Bruising is coming out underneath but isn't too visible in the photo. I put one of my work outfits on tonight and was SO happy that it looked pretty much the same as before with my multiple padded bras on! I'm still a small-ish breasted girl and that might seem weird to some but totally fine by me. I liked my silhouette before and feel glad that when I return to work nobody will notice a thing. So they still look smallish under clothes but then when I take them off Ay Carumba!! That's how it seems to me anyway, others will have a different perspective lol. If I want to show them off I can still wear nice bras and singlets/low cut tops or whatever. I tried on a little bralette and [RS bleep] it looked good, I was so happy lol. It's exactly what I wanted - nice boobies to show off when I want but hide-able under clothing :) Updated on 21 Sep 2017: Feeling pretty fine now. The pain is virtually gone now. It only feels weird using my pec muscles to do anything hard. I'm not meant to but I've been lifting my small daughter up a bit at times. The swelling is still there and going very slowly down. I never did get any real 'Frankenboob' look, maybe just because the implants are smallish and moderate, or just luck. There's still fluid around that I can feel moving, especially when I bend over and it doesn't hurt but feels so WRONG. And over the past couple of days it made a funny little sound which freaked me out big time. Can't wait for that to go away!
Thought I would post my own review as this site helped so much in my decision to get a ba! I was an A cup with pretty noticeable asymmetry (my left boob being smaller). I didn’t want a huge increase in volume or profile, just maybe a cup/cup and a half size bigger with better symmetry. I went to three different consults with different surgeons in Brisbane and chose Dr Ian Chinsee with Esteem cosmetic studio. The previous two surgeons didn’t have the try-on implants in the sizes that I wanted and still to this day (several weeks later) I have not heard back from them to say they’ve got them in. The consults with Dr Chinsee were all straight forward and I was able to try on the implants I wanted within a couple of weeks of my initial consultation. I opted to have the Keller funnel as well at an extra cost of $300. I’ve attached photos of before and 4 days post op. I’m pleased with the results already, they are the size I wanted and I’m not in too much discomfort. I’ll post more photos as the implants settle!
Princess Volume with Lidocaine is the best option for lips. This product has recently replaced Princess Volume (without Lidocaine), but both are satisfactory. The product without Lidocaine requires you to add it yourself. In my experience Princess filler provides nice, natural looking results.
This is most definitely not normal. Please go and see a qualified doctor as soon as you can. All the best.
It depends on how long ago you had your treatment done. Extreme temperature changes (sauna or steam room) are not recommended for 2 weeks as this may cause excess swelling. Your postoperative instructions should give you the appropriate time frames for activities.
