From my Initial consultation with Pacific Plastic Surgery Bundaberg back in 2013 my experience has been "Exceptional" After a botched Mastopexy and Implant Revision from a previous Cosmetic Surgeon in Brisbane my confidence and self esteem where completely shattered. My first consultation was with Dr Gaffield and Sacha Kay. They treated my misfortune with utmost tact and preserved what dignity I had remaining. Together a plan to revise my situation was made and I was walked through the reconstruction procedure which was to stem over 12months. The first procedure was removal of excess skin and repositioning of nipples and breast folds. The second procedure12months later was replacement of implants. Careful consideration was made in choice of implant due to factors from previous surgeries and my anatomy. Pre and post care is so important and this was exceptional, Dr Gaffield and Sacha Kay visited me daily whilst in Friendlies Society Private Hospital and Sacha continued post care when I returned home. I couldn't be happier with my results they are "Exceptional" I know longer feel embarrassed or self conscious about my breasts. I thank Dr Gaffield and his highly Professional Team for all the help they have provided. I will continue to visit the practice for future procedures and highly recommend them for all you Plastic Surgery needs however big or small. DD
25yrsold, breast implant and pocket exchange. I had my implants first done by a gp in brisbane. They recommended having implants over the muscle was the correct and only way. The implants were too small and far apart for my body leaving a large gap on my chest. They started to ripple and come out of shape. They also caused me pain when I moved. Through a recommendation from a friend, I went and saw Dr Garfield for his help and expertise. He was very modest and explained why my implants went the way they did and then suggested what could be done to fix them. I then had a consult with Sacha his nurse who further explained the options for my reconstruction and details about the surgery/recovery/costs ect. I booked in for the next month! Now I'm currently 8 weeks post op and thrilled with the results already. I have new implants under the muscle and closer together and fuller. They look amazing. The incisions are tidy and well hidden. I'm extremely happy with them. Dr Gaffield, Sacha and the staff truly care for their patients. Post op experience in the Bundaberg friendly private hospital was relaxing knowing Sacha was available 100% for any queries. And Dr Gaffield checked on me each morning for the 2 nights I stayed. (It was a big operation having the old implants taken out and then incisions in my chest muscle for the new ones. I was a fragile little zombie) But additionally with the attentive care of all the staff at the hospital and a great friend by my side, I had a good experience. Pacific plastic surgery are truly passionate about maintaining a high standard and consistency in their beautiful work. My friends implants still look and feel amazing and she had them done several years ago. I couldn't be more grateful for Dr Gaffield and Sacha's support and skill! If I want to have anything else done in the future I would choose to go back to him.
MY REASONS AND THOUGHT PROCESS As stated about, I'm 26 years old. For 6 years I competed in Muay Thai Boxing. I knew little about nutrition at the time, just high protein, low carbs on 18 hours of cardio a week. After each fight I would eat everything and anything I hadn't allowed myself over the 12 weeks prep. This would cause me to dramatically change sizes in weight. I eventually found body sculpting and learned about balance. I was finally happy with my body, living a realistic lifestyle with food and exercise although my breasts had paid the price from the previous years. I was so proud of my body but I hated the way my breasts looked. Being someone who carries all my weight from my hips up my breasts had (through fight training) gone from a B to a DD many times. I felt self conscious to take my bra off in front of my husband, who always supported me and never mentioned a thing about they looked, but I still hated them. So I made the decision for myself. Many people suggested wait until I have children, but I don't want them until I'm at least 30. In saying that, who's to say I can even have children? Or that I won't die in a years time and never even had the chance to think about them? I believe in living in the now! And in the end I didn't want to wait until I 'had kids" because what if I didn't "finish" until I was 36? Do I have to wait another 10 years? It just didn't make sense to me. So I decided to ignore the negative people in my life and live how I wanted to. It's not one else's business in the end. It wasn't a decision made lightly. I spent a good 2 years thinking about it and discussing it with my husband. In the end I went with Dr Gaffield in Bundaberg. I live in Hervey Bay and I had heard great things from my Bundaberg friends who had seen him. He has many years of experience and the website looked extremely professional. I actually had two consults with him, one prior to my wedding and then one again before my operation this year. I waited as we spent our money on other required commitments and I was till Thai Boxing at the time, so my weight balance wasn't quite right yet either. It wasn't until I felt balance in my life with food and sports that I thought of doing it again. DR GAFFIELD AND SURGERY The whole experience was fantastic! I meet with Dr Gaffield and we discussed any questions I had and all the details of the procedure. He is very friendly, wears a smile and makes you feel very comfortable. He then sent me in to see his assistant and nurse (she joins him in the theatre) who he has been working with for many years, Sacha, who I adore! She is absolutely lovely and so professional. We talked about sizing and tried a few options on in a material bra. Afterwards I had her email and any thoughts I had, I emailed her, and she replied with answers. It was great to have a base of contact prior, and post, operation. It made me feel very comfortable. I was changing my mind on sizing so I was allowed to met with Sacha once again on the morning of my operation and I took my husband so we could make sure we were both 100% happy. The day of surgery was as pleasant as could be! Early morning at the hospital. My husband got to stay with me until they started to prep me. I was given a nice heated blanket while I waited for a bed. I met the anaesthetist. Then Dr Gaffield an Sacha met me. He drew some lines on me lol. Then eventually I was rolled into surgery. Everyone was chatty and friendly. They gave me a relaxant and I passed out on that alone prior to even getting my GA. I have had many friends say that when they have gone to less expensive surgeons that have to wear a bra. Usually for about 12 week. I DID NOT have to wear a bra. Which I LOVED. I have come to the understanding that each Dr works differently and each surgery / patient is different so the reasons for someone to have to wear bra comes down to the decision to each surgeon. In my case, I was pleased to wake up and I was be to look down under my shirt and see my new breasts! I woke up about 1.5 hours after my operation. I was told by Sacha I was not going to be discharged until at least 3.30pm as they want to monitor my response to drugs and food and to let me rest which I was pleased to hear. I had a nurse attend to me. She called my husband for me. She was also helpful with giving me painkillers lol. I was in a theatre with about 10 other people but I was then rolled into a more private room. There was a division was separating myself and another one of Dr Gaffields patients. I then feel asleep for about 2 hours. Obviously needed. I woke up to my husband and the nurse bringing me food. I was then giving my pain killers. After chatting and resting some more my husband the nurse helped bath me and dress me. I was then wheeled out of hospital at about 4pm. With all the sleeping and painkillers it made the day pass quickly lol. Everyone was lovely! POST OPERATION I went to see Sacha the next day and touch base. She explained how my breasts would chance over time "dropping" into place once the swelling left. She also gave me her mobile number and she was available to me at any time. I met with Sacha again the following week. Again 2 weeks after that. I can't recall how many more visits we had, but it was quite a lot lol. I had my last meeting this week. Dr Gaffield attended this time and I got to approval that I'm 100% healed and done!' MY BREASTS I LOVE THEM....love them!!!!! They look fantastic! My scar literally sits on the crease. You can not even see if unless I lift my breast up to show you! It's already faded a little as well (I've been persistent with boi-oil and Nutri-oil). They feel great as well. My husband and close friends are surprised how soft they feel (although my breasts were use to being a larger size, each person is different). RECCOMENDATION: I would 100% recommend Dr Gaffield & Sacha as they give you 100% of their time and your money's worth from their service. I can't imagine having left the hospital any earlier on the day and I love that I always had someone to touch base with pre and post operation. I am obviously also extremely happy with the results of my breast. I am looking forward to receiving to "before & after" shots that they also provide you with on a USB :)
No regrets when I'm older for not doing this at a younger age. I'm ready, a little nervous, but looking forward to brighter and younger looking eyes. I appreciate everyone's reviews as they have been extremely helpful and reassuring and given me more knowledge going into this surgery. Please note the cost is Australian dollars Updated on 18 Nov 2014: Well it's been around 9 hrs since I came out of surgery. I have had no pain, I have a minor headache but thinking it's due to lack of sleep. My eyes are blurry but sometimes I can make things out, this is due to the ointment in my eyes. Bruising is starting on my outer stitches. They say the next day is worse with bruising and swelling so I have that to look forward to. But so far if my final results are like my straight after results then I am very very happy!!!!! Updated on 19 Nov 2014: To today is day two. I am feeling great apart from the slight headache I have behind my eyebrows and back of head. My body Is aching from sleeping sitting up, so uncomfortable. Still no pain, just that slight dull headache. More bruising and swelling, this is suspose to be my worse day as I have heard. Still icing and applying my cream to my stitures Updated on 20 Nov 2014: Updated on 21 Nov 2014: Today I am sporting a lovely shade of yellow My stitches are starting to get a little itchy and I feel a little dizzy today when standing up for too long, I need more dark chocolate! My hubby forgot that I am suppose to be resting and not doing any business stuff, easy to forget when I look good and I can walk around and I'm not in pain. In saying that my vision comes and go's, and I get tired and sore eyes from looking at the TV too long. I am not having very good night sleeps but plenty of day naps to make up for it. I can't wait to be able to lie down again to sleep. Updated on 22 Nov 2014: Updated on 24 Nov 2014: Today I had my stitches taken out. I am to continue to ice to help reduce the swelling and also keep sleeping sitting up for at least another week. I am totally ok about my eyes not being totally perfect from one side to the other as it just makes me feel like my surgery will be a little less obivious and more real looking, well as much as it can with scars beside my eyes! Starting to fall in love with them and I know this is not the end result so I am looking forward to seeing them change over the next few months. "They are sisters but not twins" Updated on 6 Dec 2014: I never wear makeup! But took my hubby out for dinner last night and had my makeup professionally done. I am LOVING a my new eyes. Updated on 11 Dec 2014: In hindsight and with more research and information on this I may have opted to have my right eye Ptosis repaired. Not sure how much of a difference it would have made as I think my right eye is smaller than my left anyway. I didn't realise I had this issue and just thought my eyelid would correct itself without the weight of the excess skin on it. Not sure if I will bother with another surgery to correct it as I don't want to mess up the great results I have. I was so well informed and did a lot of resurch but didn't really know that I had this issue. Updated on 14 Dec 2014: I've definitely had my doubts about my eyes over the last few days, not due to the surgeon at all, but due to my decision not to fit up my Ptosis. I honestly thought my right eye would lift up itself without the excess skin pushing it down, but also didn't realise how BIG my left eye was going to be which makes the right now look even smaller. Having to remind myself of why I did this in the first place and look back on photos from before to remind myself of how my eyes were. I have been massaging the over the last week as per my instructions but thinking the massaging may be causing my right eye to sit a little lower as well, so nervous as to keep doing so or not. Still have swelling on my eyelids. Updated on 19 Dec 2014: Ok, so I have come to terms with my eyes now and I do love them :) So much better than what they were, it's just so easy to forget. Updated on 26 Dec 2014: The last post said I had come to terms with my eyes, but boy this is one crazy emotional roller coaster ride I am on. I love them one minute, then I see a photo of myself, then I am not happy with them. I don't regret getting them done at all, they do look fantastic and they are what I wanted. Just still struggling with the size difference still. I am 2days short of 6 weeks post op.
Since I was very young I have absolutely hated my nose. My sisters (love them to death) would tease me with names like Ski jump & concord. I was not totally innocent and called them names too.... Sisterly love??!! Haha. But it did have a long lasting affect on me. I have wanted a new nose since I was about 13/14 years old - almost 30 years. I have a big, long nose with a bump on the bridge... Yuk! Not only do I have a bump but on my right side the bump is quite pointy, I think due to my youngest head butting me when she was a baby. I did see a plastic surgeon about 6 years ago and didn't like his work. So I went to see my GP and he wrote a referral to another in Brisbane. I then chickened out until now. As I can't even make it to Brissy for a holiday, I decided to find a PS a bit closer to home. A very good friend of mine went to see Dr Gaffield in Mackay for her boobs. She really liked him and encouraged me to see him for my nose. I had my first appointment with him a month ago. It didn't go so well as I had car troubles on the trip to Mackay and stressing over the stupid thing! So I have made another appointment to see him in two weeks. Hopefully booking my surgery for the 28th of Feb... The same day my friend gets her new boobs!!! I stumbled upon this website last week and have been reading so many reviews, it has helped a lot!!! I feel like I will be armed with many more questions for my PS!! It's sooo good to read that so many people have had the same feelings and fears that I am experiencing right now, ie: am I doing the right thing? Am I being selfish and vain? Will it turn out ok? Will I like it? Should I be spending this money on myself??? Aargh!!!!!!!!! Anyways.....Thankyou all sooo much it is so very comforting! Updated on 25 Jan 2014: Hoping we don't get too much rain from this impending low/cyclone and I make it to my appointment on Saturday!!!! getting excited!!!!
I have been wanting to get breast implants since I was 19, and very nearly did. I fell pregnant with my son and decided to wait until I finished having kids to get them but knew I definitely would one day. So, one year after having my third child and a few weeks before my 28th birthday, I went ahead with the procedure.I was in some pain for about a week, but was prescribed painkillers anyway so wasn't too bad. Very happy with the shape and very little scarring and pretty much everything so far. Only thing is, now the swelling has gone down I kind of wish I had gone just a little bit bigger.
Recovery experiences from breast augmentation vary widely. The more relaxed a patient is heading in to surgery, the better and quicker her recovery is. Calm and confident patients have little to no trouble; super nervous patients tend to have pain and longer recoveries. It's not necessarily easy or natural to do, but if you can focus on being relaxed in the days prior to your surgery, your recovery will be much more pleasant.Sedentary jobs require one week away from work; physically active (arms) work needs three weeks off. Scars have usually faded to being barely noticeable by 6 months post-op (longer when a mastopexy is also done).
