Lumps the sizes of boiled eggs under my arms were...
No distortion to my breast shape or any associated pain was felt.
Went to go - referred for breast u/s
No rupture present, silicone under the arms and in the breast.
Sent to a surgeon. He was very professional and lovely, however he wasn't the one. He was an oncology breast surgeon.
Something wasn't 'he's the one'. For no other reason than .... gut said keep looking.
I decided after much researching I wanted a plastics surgeon, one that specialises in breast improve,net rather than post cancer reconstruction etc.
Who better than a breast plastics specialist 'Dr Somia'.
I called the clinic, I was told I could have an appointment in about 3 weeks. Jane was kind, thoughtful and recognised I was distressed. She advised she would put me on a cancellation list.
I was distraught as I didn't know what I was dealing with other than potentially having ruptured implants.
I had a call the next day from Juanita from drs rooms. She offered me an appointment the following day.
I got to reception. I was met with warmth, kindness and empathy which was non judgemental and totally respectful of my anxiety and my urgency.
I walked into Dr Somia's room.
I instantly felt a warmth, a genuine trust and belief that I had completely been put in the hands of someone who had my best interests at heart and he would give me the greatest result possible.
My journey was effortless, I was well informed and I woke up to have the best result I could have wished for.
I've had no drains, minimal swelling and bruising.
I had the procedure done in HSS as opposed to the other hospitals and I received the best treatment possible.
If your looking for the best relationship and best results, don't look past Dr Somia.
Provider Review
Dr. Somia, You are truly the best! In addition to my positive experience, throughout the process, I am unbelievably happy with my results! Dear Dr. Somia, staff Juanita & Julie, HSS staff & the wonderful Anesthetist, I am beyond ecstatic with my results! I'm a woman in my 40's and underwent silicone breast augmentation 20+ years ago and have never looked back. I have never had one single issue with my implants. April 2017 I discovered a lump under my arm and sought medical advice. My wonderful GP sent me off to have a ultrasound. Ultrasound demonstrated intact implants with no ruptures evident and three large silicone lumps under one arm and smaller collections of silicone under the other. I was then referred on to a breast surgeon for removal and possible replacement of my implants. I live in Western Sydney; therefore, choosing a doctor in the city seemed like it would be a difficult task due to the vast amount of plastic surgeons that practice in the city. However, I knew you were the doctor for me the first time I came across your name in one of my google searches. Instantly, I experienced a great gut feeling, which was later confirmed during my initial consultation. I was sent off for a MRI in May and it was shown that I had two ruptured and badly leaking implants requiring urgent removal. Removal for me was only an option with replacement implants and a lift. My breasts were what is elequently referred to as 'waterfall', meaning my nippples cascaded down off the edge of the breast and laid Deep South towards the ground, all the while still full and voluptuous breasts. When I called the office I was beside myself in fear of the unknown, the terror of having to have my breasts removed and not being able to have them replaced and what if, what if, what if.... I had an appointment booked for a fortnight away and all documents sent to me and even a courtesy valet park offered to make my trip to the office hassle free. Within a few days I was contacted and offered a cancellation appointment for the following day as the staff knew I was beside myself. Prior to this office visit, I had researched your website extensively and was extremely impressed with the amount of information provided on your site. Additionally, I was equally impressed with the referrals of other clients whom have had you preform work for them in other plastic surgery procedures. From the minute I walked into your office for my consultation to the minute I left the hospital after my surgery I knew I had selected the right surgeon. Everyone involved helped to make my experience pleasant and full of reassurance. From Jane's friendly voice to Juanita's kind smile and constant professionalism and willingness to always take the time to return my phone calls promptly and answer my numerous e-mails and questions. I could not have asked for a better group of people to help me go through the process!!! In addition, the wonderful staff at Hospital Specialist Surgery (HSS) were equally as fabulous. They were so kind, very thorough and made me feel totally comfortable. I'm so glad I didn't go to one of the other hospital options. Thankfully for me, lumps under my arms removed, implants removed, capsules removed, breast lift and new implants, all from start to finish within a 4 week period. And I have beautiful, perky, sexy, voluptuous breasts, so much more beautiful than my first implants which were great, just they were never beautiful like they are now. Dr. Somia, You are truly the best! In addition to my positive experience, throughout the process, I am unbelievably happy with my results! Your willingness to listen to my wants and advise me about my options are very much appreciated and your kindness, knowledge and talent are valued and respected. I could not have asked for a better doctor, experience and final results. I would recommend you and your staff to anyone everyday!
