Absolutely Incredible
If anyone is unsure of who to choose as your plastic surgeon, please read this.
Mark Ashton and his team are absolutely unbelievably incredible. I had two recent failed breast surgeries (breast lift and fat transfer) with another surgeon and I never thought the results would improve no matter who completed the reconstruction surgery. I chose to go with Mark ashton based on his reputation and a prior meeting from years earlier where I thought to myself “THIS is what it’s meant to feel like in a consult”.
After having two children, and two failed surgeries, my breasts were at least 8cm below where they should have sat, had a lot of weight in them and nipple placement very low.
I honestly had not very high expectations no matter who I decided on based on my prior experiences and trauma, I just thought to myself “ah well, anything is better than this I guess”.
I originally wanted to have my reconstruction done having a breast lift and implants. Mark was very cautious and up front in telling me that this would need to be done in two surgeries as a breast lift and reduction would be step 1 with implants coming later.
I am currently 3 weeks post op after my breast lift and reduction with Mark and I can happily say no matter my expectations, the result is better than anything I could have imagined and I am certainly not going to need the stage two of implants. They are absolutely incredible, perky, upper pole fullness, nipple placement is perfect and a great size, absolutely no need for implants!
Not only is Mark fantastic, his entire staff are the loveliest people you will meet. The nurses are very well equipped and trained, they are immediately on to anything and everything that could go wrong.
Simply impeccable and I cannot fault them.
On that note - the Epworth Freemasons Hospital have been nothing short of amazing also for my overnight stay. I can say the same for all of their staff and nurses. You don’t feel like “just another patient”, they are there for you whenever you need anything.
This is quite a long review but for anyone that is having trouble deciding like I was, or maybe have had some bad experiences like me and are super nervous for any reconstruction work, please take the time to have a consult with Mark. I had severe anxiety and a lot of mental health issues after my first two failed surgeries being a 27 year old with such awful original results, it was a big step for me doing this reconstruction surgery and it is the best thing I have ever done. Mark did advise me at my initial consult that I needed to lose weight naturally (as I wanted liposuction also), I had a lot of trouble losing weight due to my mental health about my body which he was slightly concerned with for the end result (losing weight can alter results), but as stated above, the result is STILL AMAZING, and I am fully aware they MAY drop slightly when I lose my weight.
My mental health and happiness about my body has done a complete turnaround and I can finally feel happy with my body again.
Thank you Mark and the team, truly.
