Sue Thistlethwaite, MBBS, FRACS

Exceptional results, knowledgeable, professional at all times and great post operative care. The whole team from Andi at reception to Eleanor the nurse have become like a second family. I couldnt go anywhere else.

After having implants for 12 years I have suffered with many side effects that I now realize were breast implant illness. Infections, hives, insomnia, hair loss, weight gain the list is endless. I had my explant 3 days ago and already I feel so much better. Dr Sue Thistlethwaite was amazing. She Made me feel so comfortable and at ease and I knew right away she was my surgeon. I had my bandages off yesterday and I am so pleased! They are perky and full and so much better. I highly recommend Sue Thistlethwaite. Updated on 23 Jan 2020: I couldn’t be happier so far. They are so much better than I could ever imagined. I imagined empty bags lol. They are full and perky and I feel so much better in myself. It was relatively pain free i just took panadol and nurophen for the first few days. I haven’t had to take any antihistamines since the explant and not one hive since.

After losing 30kg then having 4 c sections j finally had the courage to have my tt with lipo. Day 1-3 were the worst a lot of pain and discomfort. Its been over 1 week and im moving around much easier and laughing doesnt hurt that much. Stitches coming out on tuesday which takes me to just on 2 weeks p/o. If you are considering tt because you are unhappy with the lose skin just do it. I kept.putting it of even cancelled 1 week before but its done and gone. I havent seen the scar but mum did and she was really impressed. Btw it really helps if you have good support (help). My mum stayed with me for the 1st week and hubby and kids19,17,14,10 have been fantastic.

As I am only like less then two weeks away from surgery, I have been unable to sleep. I will be getting a TT with muscle repair. What scares me now is the pain that I will be extremely. I have had two csections before but am still so nervous... Any words of wisdom is much needed now as I am becoming nervous as the DAY gets closer...xoxo Updated on 2 Sep 2013: I got the phone call from the surgeon and the hospital today. Told to get things ready and be at the hospital at 7.45 am next Wednesday. Its going to be a overnight stay so I should be home by Thursday morning. I got so scared that I telephoned my anaesthetist and asked if there was any pain meds that I should buy in advance to prepare for the post-op and she basically said that I will be well taken care of and should not worry. I can't help it not worrying... Updated on 10 Sep 2013: Its 5.50am now and I have hardly slept a wink. Had feelings of regret last night and questioned if I am doing the right thing. I am scared and nervous. Surgery is at 7.45....so so nervous. Updated on 11 Sep 2013: Surgery went well and I am saying overnigh. A bit drugged and pain is not too bad. Will update in full with details later xoxo

Mostly due to Word of mouth from people I had met, naturopaths clients and meeting her in person and feeling she understand her field really well and had years of experience. I hope my results match my expectations :)Updated on 16 Apr 2017: I'm excited, a little anxious and nervous! This site has helped me so much I wanted to add my experience. I'm pretty much ready to go. I'm wrapped my aunty has a spare recliner I can pick up tomorrow as my hubby is the kind of sleeper lately (or I'm just restless I think my body and brain know something's going on!) that moves crazily around the bed and has become a hugger so I was like hell yes to the chair! :) he'll be home for a week and then my sister in law will be with me for the next week to help with the house and kids. Signing off iv been up since 3 and it's 5 my sleep has been everywhere for the last week! Annoying.. my youngest also got a cough and I treated the munchkin like he had the plague poor darling.. I had a cough after my last c section and it hurt like hell. Chat soon Updated on 16 Apr 2017: I'm everywhere at the moment up and down. Energy is low and I'm really quiet.. I hope it passes and is just in the lead up to my surgery :(Updated on 19 Apr 2017: I did it! It's the next morning and I just tried to eat something as iv been on strong medication. I went in at 2:45pm yesterday I arrived at 11:45. I usually get really restless in theatre though I wasn't too bad impressed actually. When I woke up I was really sore so they gave me as much meds as possible though it took ages to kick in! It's definitely more painful than my c sections.. I didn't sleep much last night so I can't wait to get a full nights rest! The compression garment is really tight at the moment and I'm having a little trouble taking the big deep breaths which they said I need to do as the oxygen is low. I'm in recovery mode though so I am happy. No idea what I look like though my dressing will be changed tomorrow so I might get to see. She should be taking the drains out today too which I hope is the case.. you girls are right they suck! Happy healing xoUpdated on 19 Apr 2017: I'm home yay the pain isn't too bad just sore to walk around and get up for the loo.. i go in for my app tomorrow at 10am. I'm feeling so much better mentally at this point after my down patch.. here's to the process of day by day :)Updated on 20 Apr 2017: First full day at home and this morning I was able to get out of bed without waking hubby! I got sore and a little weird last night though I was eating soup so could answer for my hot flush and faint feeling..? I'm still tight but I'm not too hunched over and I slept almost the whole night last night frogging awesome it's been awhile. I'm having my bandages changed and new instructions this morning and hope I get to see her handy work though in this garment I'm looking so flat already it's so nice not to see my friend the big ol bulge! Hopefully il pot pics today :)Updated on 20 Apr 2017: Woke up good though removing those sticky layers woke everything up after about 10 minutes I could feel it all. I also got my period early which is super awkward with the garment to my knees. It's quite heavy too... no bm yet it will come when it's ready.. taking a shower soon let's see how that goes huh. I took this pic laying down in the doctors office :)Updated on 21 Apr 2017: Everyday you can straighten that bit more and it's easier to get up and the swelling hasn't been too bad just yet.. went to have a shower yesterday and I finally got everything off and bam I felt like I was going to faint and was dripping in sweat so I went back to bed with no shower just yet.. my husband has been amazing and so are my kids it makes it so much easier to have that good support as you need help with so much xUpdated on 23 Apr 2017: My stitches are not so numb now and I can feel them and it woke me sore last night night. I'm dying to go to the loo which I think will happen today! Still haven't been able to have my garment off without feeling faint so I haven't had a full shower! Sponge baths all the way for me so far.. I'm a bit swollen but other than those things I'm doing well :) happy healing beautiful ladies xUpdated on 26 Apr 2017: I started feeling weird a few days ago but a pain on my left side, having migraines, shivers throughout my tummy and feeling like I'm catching something.. my ps seems to think everything is fine though thank good I'm seeing her tomorrow morning. I pulled down my garment and it smells I think the part where it's seeping may be getting infected! My compression garment the marena it ripples which I dont like and isn't smoothing out my lipo or pulling me in.. these 3 garments cost me $308 so I hope I don't have to purchase another though being on here I really like the faja and the finish and smooth effect it gives.. hopefully I have answers on how I feel or I start to feel better really soon Updated on 28 Apr 2017: I'm sore had a shitty sleep and I don't know I don't expect to go backwards at day 10.. it's hard on my kids to have no energy and stay home all the time.. though I'm happy what Iv done it is a really long process and I don't know I'm just having one of those days wha wha I suppose Updated on 29 Apr 2017: I went in yesterday with hardness on the left side though it was the redness that bothered sue. She gave me antibiotics and I have done them for two days but my poor tummy on left is so hard and the little redness she worried about has tripled at least. I have also been getting shivers and my temp is up to 39.2 which isn't cray buts it's still up.. I sent her a message just for my own sanity cause it was indeed a down day. I see her Tuesday but I just want to be safe. We don't really know much really about the recovery I reckon so thank god o can call or message her. Night girls xoUpdated on 30 Apr 2017: I have felt crap over the past 6 days and went into the doctors today as I had hard red swelling! Anyway they massaged and squeezed it all out of me for about 5 minutes it was super gross but it made me feel so much better and I could walk when I got out! Thank god here's to going up and starting to feel better! Updated on 3 May 2017: I can walk normally and I'm beginning to feel normal! Yay I'm really excited! I'm still draining fluid but it doesn't feel weird or hurt .. hope you are all on the mend xo you guys have helped me in so many ways!Updated on 8 May 2017: I feel good and life is going back to normal.. almost.. anyway! The swelling is going down and my belly button is slowly getting more human like and I can't wait for my scar to not be so angry but it will get there! Can't believe I am almost 3 weeks po :) happy days Updated on 8 May 2017: Updated on 15 May 2017: I originally thought it was swelling though now it just feels like a fat pocket.. it's not major though it's there.. I'm going to ask at my Thursday app and see what they say though hopefully if it is additional fat that won't move they'll remove it for me.? Is anyone else getting irritated around the public area near there scar? Updated on 24 May 2017: I'm feeling really good my energy is fabulous and I have started excercising slowly! I wish I had more of waist but I have such a short torso my ribs sit where my waist should be though I'm hoping working out will define it more and remove any fat left. My scar is still quite dark though is improving.. I still can't apply anything to front though it's almost healed. Spoke to my ps about my dent and different side and they said it usually subsides Hough if I doesn't it will be revised. Happy healing girls Updated on 28 May 2017: There really quite dark and the bb is starting to get thick and raised.. I love the fact I don't have a belly anymore I really do but I don't have hips though I really wish she had of given me waist.. I'm so straight I am trying to start working out so I can lose a little more Are we ever fully happy?? Lol how's everyone's scars going d what's working for them?Updated on 4 Jun 2017: The swelling does get better :Updated on 13 Jun 2017: I'm really good, still swollen and I so wish I had hips to give me shape but I don't have a pouch so awesome! I scar really easy so I'm still quite purple though it looks so much worse in pics. My bb is getting better and softer I need to start exercising but I'm a little unmotivated.. I'm so glad iv reached another milestone!!Updated on 29 Jun 2017: Just like the title I was down and out nd felt different even like black cloud was perched over me.. didn't crave my husband at all and as even detached from my kids which was really hard.. it's gotten better but then I got a cold/flu so iv been in bed. The tummy feels good I don't wear the binder or spanx much at and that feels good. My scar is getting better but in photos it looks worse.. it's been a little itchy too which feels odd because it's past that healing stage.. over 2 months now and times now going fast xx

I had gynecomastia surgery with this surgeon and I've been looking for a revision since. I madea the unfortunate choice to go to her based on her reputation on the specialised gynecomastia forum. She did many things wrong that drive me to the need for a revision. She excised too much glandular tissue on the right side, leaving me with a crater that is especially visible when I lift my arm. She didn't bother to do any liposuction along with the tissue removal although it was very much needed and she charged a lot for the surgery. The liposuction was needed because I carry fat in the lateral part of the chest that does not respond to dieting. Finally, my areola needs to be reduced significantly as the surgery she did didn't address the issue. After surgery she is completely dismissive of the issues and off to the next patient (or victim) to make quick money.

My experience with Sue Thistlethwaite to treat gynecomastia was very poor. Her surgery did not remove the correct amount of glandular tissue and fat grafting performed disappeared after 2 weeks. I looked no different after than I did before surgery. Her care and concern after surgery was horrible, I was made to wait 4-5 weeks for any responses and her receptionist staff are rude and unprofessional. Quite simply once this surgeon gets your money she will not want much to do with you after if you are unhappy with results. Not thorough, unprofessionally run office, office staff rude and uncaring and very long wait times to get any answers or responses. Wait times for initial consultations is months, surgery is about 4 months and then after surgery to get any answers to concerns, it is virtually non existent.

I went in about 2 years ago for male breast reduction and lower abdomen surgery and to be honest i really did not see a difference. So i booked in a appointment after reading she was the best for this procedure so no hesition went to do it with no background research. Although she and her crew are really nice and humble i did not get the result i was looking for even after dieting and excercising. And all post opps we just lies which seemed to me that i was looking really good where one boob was bigger than the other as nurse and doctor said it. I took many piks and my family and friends told me they were uneven. Which i kept going back and got the steriod injectio t bring it down and every time she kept telling me it looks flat. I even had a feriend go there with same procedure who experienced the same problems and lies. The lower abdomen lipo didnt look different at all. And not to mention its overpriced as breast reduction surgery starts from 1.5 to 4k au she charged 6000 and all other charges as she doesnt have her own theatre so i would not recomend her what so ever.
