Jane Paterson, MBBS, FRACS

I’m currently one year post-op and Dr Jane was amazing from the start. She was honest and upfront from the beginning in the consultation and answered all my questions. The procedure went without a problem and I couldn’t be happier with the results even now one year out. With Dr Jane you’re in good hands. You won’t regret choosing her!

I had my breast implants changed over by Dr Jane due to age of implant’s and one ruptured. I was very worried about the whole procedure. But from the moment I entered Jane’s rooms I felt extremely comfortable with her she was not in a rush and was extremely thorough in explaining what was required. All of Jane’s staff where exactly the same. The Epworth hospital staff where just as amazing as Jane kind, caring and nothing a problem. Also Janes surgical team where the kindest most relaxed calming people, you really want people like this looking after you. I felt like I was in the greatest of hands and felt completely comfortable going into my surgery. I would 110% recommended Dr Jane Paterson, her team and the Epworth Hospital
Thank you Dr Jane

Why did I wait so long? I’ve been talking about getting a breast reduction for 10 years. I was initially worried the procedure would be painful and not overall successful as my breasts were so heavy and saggy. From the minute I met Dr Paterson I knew I was in good hands. The initial consultation put me at ease and her staff were brilliant organising everything. The procedure was very straight forward with no problems and very minimal discomfort. It’s only been 6 weeks but I’m thrilled with the result and highly recommend Dr Paterson and her team to anyone considering this procedure. Don’t wait as long as I did! Thank you Dr Paterson, my life is so much better now!

Currently 3 months post op. Dr Paterson is highly knowledgeable and skilled in what she does. You’re provided with all the before and aftercare that is needed. The surgery itself had low recovery time and the result is amazing, no more pulling, I can wear tight jeans and underwear confidently, no sensitivity or pain in the area and you can no longer see my inner labia when standing.
Dr Paterson also has a great team, her anaesthetist puts your mind at ease and is easy to talk to, very kind. The girls in the office are also very helpful, prompt and on the ball as well as professional and approachable.

Highly recommend Dr Paterson!!

From the 1st consultation until the final follow up appointment the care shown by Dr Jane Paterson was nothing but excellent. Kind, caring, happy to answer as many questions as you have. Her and her whole team are wonderful. Couldn’t recommend more highly.

My experience with Dr Jane Patterson is great. She is a very caring surgeon and wants her patients to be happy. She is always welcoming of any questions and does excellent follow through. I am glad I chose Dr Patterson because she really cares. Definitely recommend.

I’m a 5ft petite, size 6, 21 year old.

If you need your breast reduction surgery done, I 101% recommended Dr Jane Paterson.

She has been so informative and has absolutely changed my life. Dr Jane also gave me so much confidence to trust her, she listens and she’s there for you. Her anaesthetist and assistants were absolutely amazing. Thank you so much Dr. Jane and everyone who worked alongside her for everything. Thank you for changing ladies like myself lives forever!

The whole experience with Dr Jane and her team has been amazing. They made me feel so comfortable. She was the first and only surgeon I saw about my Labioplasty. Highly skilled, wonderful bedside manner and a genuinely lovely person I couldn’t fault the entire experience. My recovery was so straightforward and I wish I had done this surgery years ago.

My swelling is really starting to reduce now. I managed to do a 5km walk with no issues at all. I am so excited about how great the result looks this early on. I needing to ice anymore and am comfortable getting through the whole day sitting down. The only thing I have left to do is to try wear some jeans. I am still wearing mostly leggings and dresses.

I couldn’t be happier with the end result. I am now able to exercise without that annoying rubbing feeling. I can comfortable wear jeans without having to tuck my labia in. I am now having Brazilian laser treatment to remove all my hair. My confidence has increased and I would not hesitate to recommend this surgery to anyone.

The whole procedure was hassle free from the beginning. The procedure went really well and i am looking better from day to day. Dr Jane is an amazing person and surgeon and I would recommend her to anyone that was thinking about surgery. I wished that I had it done a long time ago. I feel so much better and more confident about myself. Dr Jane's staff are also very helpful.

I can’t believe it took me so long to do this. I am so happy and I’m only 11 days post op. I am getting better and better every day. If it were to stay like it is now I’d be happy. So I already know by 6 weeks I am never looking back. I will post some pics and prob just post each week instead of daily.
I have looked after myself. I think days 1-4 were amazing. I couldn’t believe I had no pain (kept up with meds religiously). Also drank ural and never felt any stinging. Days 5-7 were my worst and yet I was out having wines at a winery and no one knew. But it was uncomfortable to sit and move around. My left labia Majora was bruised and swollen so not sure what they do in the op. Mayve clamp them to hold them back? I don’t know. If anyone knows tell me. I’ve been searching and I don’t want to bother my surgeon. Day 11 now and I’m not taking any meds and I can finally touch it slightly to rub paw paw ointment on to keep everything soft. I kept up with baths x 2 most days. And I have definitely rested. Have told people I have a virus and just exhausted. Helps get me out of exercise / walks with friends without them knowing.
My advice. If you want it done. Get it done. Have 2 weeks aside to heal properly. This is a personal thing. It’s no one’s business.
Say you’re going on a yoga retreat for 2 weeks if you can’t avoid people and take 2 weeks off somewhere and use it as your holiday. Already I feel so much more confident.

I’ve had another look inside. Am freaked out. Looks like I have 3 minora’s. Trying to stay calm. But looks like my right is all sewn together. Stitches are black and weird.
Only 2 weeks out so know I have a long way to go. Posting updates pics but look at your own peril.
I feel fine. Still tender to touch but otherwise don’t feel anything.
Still keeping up with baths.
Thoughts?

So this looks gross. Lots of stitches still hanging around. I feel good. Been on 10 km walks and no pain. Still tender to touch and only pay dry. This photo isn’t glamorous but it shows the stitches. Some black! Starting to look like I’m evening out as have been fairly swollen. Only 2.5 weeks have passed. So I still have nearly 4 until I see real results. So far am happy. So much neater. And given I’m still in early days I’m not worried that this is looking like it is. Healing is the key. Feel so fine.

Day 22 I think and still have stitches but not many left. My labia are soooo much smaller. Photos look big but they aren’t. All tucked away. So given I’ve hit the half way mark. I know in another 3 weeks I will be so much smaller. Tender to touch still. But no complaints here.

Will upload photo later. Thought I had one on phone but must have deleted it.

So I’m at about day 25! Yay. However I am still tender to touch. Have to pat dry. My swelling is subsiding every day. As you can see things re ALOT neater down there. Still have stitches. Which you can also see but not many left.

I’m feeling so much better that I e had this done. Just impatient with the healing. I’m single so doesn’t matter for an reason. I just want to see the final result. I’m half way!

Still tender to touch. Am sure this is normal. But hurry up and feel normal.
Still have stitches hanging around.

Not sure how many days now. 28 I think. Should say in right hand corner.
I still have stitches but only one I think. I am only a tiny bit tender when I pat dry - still not wiping however probably will be by the end of the week.
Starting to look okay too. Can not believe I’m happ with my downstairs. Excited to get my next laser now. Never said that before! M photos look worse than I look I think. They are so close up. But only 2 weeks to go until the end result. Whoop! I’d do it all over again. It’s definitely worth it.

Still slightly tender but only when I pat dry. Otherwise all is well.

Is nearl 5 weeks (in 2 days). Today I feel no tenderness.

I haven’t looked for a bit. My photos look so much bigger than I am. I wold say my labia minora are now about .0.5 cm long. Tucked right away. My photos are full legs spread and up close so in life it looks better than this.

VERY PLEASED I did this.

I’m happy.
