I had been contemplating rhinoplasty and a deep plane face lift for a while. I had a consultation with a different plastic surgeon and felt I’d get a second opinion from Dr Ho. I was so impressed with the Dr Ho and his staff they were very welcoming and warm. I had all my questions answered with ease and professionalism. The day of the surgery I felt at ease, I just knew I’d made the right decision. There was no pain after the surgery, I was surprised how I just felt so normal afterwards. When I emailed the girls in the office with a question it was answered right away. I’m super impressed with my facelift , I look like me just younger. My rhinoplasty was far easier than I expected. If you want a surgeon that is down to earth and honest I highly recommend Dr Ho.
For years I had played with the idea of tackling my very droopy eyelids and old man's eye bags! On meeting Dr Kevin Ho and his team I began to feel more confident that I had made the right decision. When the day for surgery arrived I was also impressed with the Anaesthetist Dr Iain Stewart - he showed the same very professional style that I had now become accustomed to with all of Dr Kevin's team. The procedure itself was a breeze and the recovery was well on the way within two to three weeks. The bottom line is my eye bags have gone.....Thanks again to Dr Kevin and the team!
During the last few years I was always very self conscious about the bags under my eyes and tired of hearing people make comments about how worn out I looked and why my eyes were so dark. My niece recommended Dr Ho and from my first consultation with him I instantly felt so comfortable. I booked in my surgery and had it done with in the fortnight.He explained all the process very thoroughly and gave me a true indication so I wasn’t walking away misinformed. Best thing I have done for myself. I’m so happy with my results I feel and look younger. It’s been six weeks since the procedure and I already can’t believe the difference. Thank you Dr Ho and grateful we met.
I found Dr Ho through Realself reviews. I had an amazing result and would 100% recommend him to friends and family. He has a lovely calmness and honesty about him. He listens to your concerns and then suggests what he feels would be best to address with a subtle natural outcome. I had my lower face and jowls lifted and he airbrushed with Nano fat the upper lip lines and smiles lines. Love the natural results and the years he's taken off my face. Amazingly skilled plastic surgeon.
I first noticed the bands on my neck when I looked at my photos, and they stood out like a sore thumb especially when I smiled. I became so conscious of them that I stopped smiling and stopped wearing necklaces, so as not to emphasize the neck area. I went to see Dr Kevin Ho and he gave me a an SMAS facelift and a neck-lift. He did a wonderful job on me. My face is now tight and firm and the nasolabial folds are hardly noticeable. Of course, the neck bands are gone too. I am writing this review because I feel very appreciative of what Dr Kevin Ho had done and I can’t thank him enough. Not only has he given me a ‘new lease on life’ (I am on Cloud 9 whenever I look at myself in the mirror), he has brought the smile back to my face. I have no photos to show you because I am a private person, but I can assure you Dr Kevin Ho is definitely someone to consider if you are looking for a plastic surgeon. I give him 5 stars!
My experience with Dr Kevin Ho has been transformational, not only physically but emotionally and psychologically. Since my surgery, I feel like I have started a new life as a more confident and attractive person. When I started my search for an elite specialist plastic surgeon, I was extremely self conscious about my nose, the centrepiece of my face. I'm a petite, 39 year old woman and my nose was disproportionately large for my face. Throughout my high school years, I was relentlessly bullied and targeted with insults about my large nose. As this occurred during my formative years, I have lived most of my life with trauma and an unhealthy self image. Twenty years later I began experiencing the same type of bullying in my workplace. I was taken right back to those years and knew it was time to resolve my issues, especially before my children start school. My instincts told me that Dr Kevin Ho was the right physician for me and this was confirmed at my initial consultation. During our consultation he gave me a mirror to hold and asked me to tell him all the things I didn't like about my nose and the outcome I was hoping for. As I was talking, I became very emotional. Dr Ho was empathetic to my concerns and listened intently and sensitively. He made me feel safe, comfortable and cared for. He was completely honest with me about the size of my nose and gave me realistic expectations about what could be achieved by having Rhinoplasty with him. The new nose Dr Ho has created for me is absolutely perfect for my face. It's straighter and smaller. The tip of my nose is no longer bulbous and my nostrils are more symmetrical in size. He's achieved these results so naturally that even family members who I don't see often, can't tell I've had surgery but have complimented me on how fabulous I look. I'm no longer self conscious about my nose, especially my profile. I honestly feel so attractive when I look in the mirror. My recovery was easy. I can honestly say I didn't experience a single bit of pain. I didn't need to take any pain medication that I was prescribed. I consider the cost of the procedure very reasonable and worth every dollar. Words cannot express how grateful I am to Dr Ho for his brilliance, efforts and kindness. I hope that anyone considering plastic, cosmetic or reconstructive surgery chooses Dr Ho as their surgeon. I'd recommend him to anyone and plan to go back to him in the future for other surgery.

Let me start by saying that I feel very fortunate I decided to go and consult with Dr Ho after hearing about him from a friend. He is an amazing Plastic Surgeon with a remarkable bedside manner, he really listens, gives you time to ask questions and at no time do you feel rushed. My goal was for proportionate breast augmentation and wow did he deliver! I am beyond happy with the results and only wish I had visited him a few years earlier. On the day of my surgery, I was extremely nervous but everyone at St Luke's Private Hospital from the Nurses to the Anaesthetist and Dr Ho himself made me feel so comfortable and relaxed. Recovery went smoothly although, you really do have to follow doctors orders and take it easy, especially if you have kids. It makes a huge difference! My follow up appointments were seamless. Dr Ho and his nurse were so welcoming and friendly. I am so thrilled with my results. My breasts are completely in proportion to the rest of my body, no one can actually tell I've had any "work", which is exactly what I wanted! Just no more heavily padded bras for me anymore! Thanks so much Dr Ho & staff! I can't thank you enough for what you have done for me and my self confidence. I would highly recommend Dr Ho if you're looking for a Plastic Surgeon who listens and truly delivers the results you are aiming for.
Dr ho is a very calm, patient, thorough doctor who always took time to answer my questions and concerns honestly, no matter how many times I asked which made me feel very comfortable and confident in putting my surgery in his hands. I was referred to him by a friend who was also very happy with her results. My results are beautiful and exactly as I hoped they would turn out. The after care/follow up service was also outstanding. Can’t thank him enough for bringing my body and my confidence back to what it was before I had my 3 kids
I had a really positive experience with Dr Ho. I had a last minute medical problem which meant I couldn't attend our first consultation in person but his staff and he assured me it was no problem and I had a really good phone consult that then allowed me to digest all the information about the procedure before attending his rooms in person for an examination and to talk about breast size etc. I found Dr Ho really gentle and he understood exactly what type of augmentation I wanted. I knew I was in the right hands and that he wouldn't go 'too big' or that I wouldn't end up with something that didn't look natural. On the day of the surgery he was calm and reassuring while also efficient. I recovered really well and had a follow up appointment in his rooms at 1 week and 7 weeks thereafter. Overall I'm delighted with the results!
I have wanted to have Labiaplasty for a few years now. I am 26 years old and could not find enough information out there. I lacked confidence and was very insecure. Nobody could point me in the right direction on where to start including my GP and gynaecologist. From the first phone call I made to Dr Hos surgery, they were nothing but amazing. They made me feel comfortable from the first phone call. Which was very important considering the type of surgery I needed. I can’t thank Dr Ho and his team enough. They have changed my life. Anyone considering labiaplasty. DO IT! Don’t read all the bad reviews and myths you find online. Recovery is short. A week later I was back at work, pain was minimal. Now six weeks later and it’s like nothing ever happened. No scaring and no loss of feeling. I’m so Happy. Just wish there was more information around labiaplasty for young women like me. Thanks Dr Ho
Hi Dovely97. Based on that one photo, an implant on it's own will not give you a nice shape as the native breast mound will look to have fallen off any implant placed underneath. I understand your reticence as no-one wants the additional scars from a breast lift unless absolutely necessary - and that is also the model I adopt when assessing patients. You should see a plastic surgeon for assessment and based on the examination and your wish in shape and cup size, they can best determine if you will get away with just an implant or need a lift as well.
Yes - you should be able to retain the fullness of your breast shape with a reduction in their volume. Convey your wishes clearly to your plastic surgeon and they will choose the technique they feel best to achieve that outcome. You should get a good result. Best wishes, Dr Kevin Ho
Breasts are made up of glandular breast tissue and fat. The proportions vary between individuals and hence weight loss variably affects a woman's breasts as it is the fatty component that will generally decrease. If you lose weight, you may lose volume from your breasts but it will not lift them. In fact, with a large amount of weight loss, the breasts will likely deflate and droop. Exercising to build up the underlying muscle does not have an effect on the breasts. Exercise to improve your general health and once you reach your ideal weight, then reassess your breasts. It is also at this ideal weight that surgery is best undertaken to guarantee best result if it is indeed the path you require and wish for. Regards, Dr Kevin Ho
Breast reduction costs can vary widely. The main determinant is whether you have private health insurance in Australia. For my patients who do not, I encourage them to take out insurance as it is a significant cost saving. In my practice, if you have private health insurance, your cost averages AUD$6500. This includes all your consultation, surgeon, anaesthetist, and assistant's fees plus garments as required and your hospitalisation in a fully accredited private hospital facility. I hope that helps. Dr Kevin Ho
Patients who undergo massive weight loss or bariatric surgery have residual excess skin. Unfortunately, in most cases, this skin has lost its elastic ability for minimally invasive surgery or non-surgical techniques to be effective. Surgery is likely your only option for a result you'd be happy with. Regards, Dr Kevin Ho
