My husband and I first met Dr Southwell-Keely and his wonderful medical receptionist Sue in may, 2015. From the time we walked into his consulting rooms we were made to feel welcome. I had always struggled with confidence and my self worth as a person was very low. These feelings were compounded by the fact that I was going through menopause. After having three wonderful daughters my body left a lot to be desired. My first procedure with James was a Bilateral Breast Augmentation. This was something that my husband encouraged me to investigate because although he was happy with me and how I looked I wasn't. We didn't know what to expect, but Richard was asked to come into his office as well as myself and Dr Southwell-Keely made us both feel very welcome and comfortable. He listened attentively to my concerns and addressed them with empathy and professionalism. My procedure was booked for 5/6/2015 at Bondi Junction Private Hospital with total costs being $8,000.00. It was day surgery only, minimal pain or bruising. There is very little to no scarring and my breasts are just as I requested. They are well shaped, look natural and sit where they are supposed to, I now have a cleavage something I have not had for a long time and just the right amount of firmness instead of sad sacks of loose skin. We were so happy with him and the results that I had done on the 22.2.2016 an SMAS facelift, lower blepharoplasty with septal reset, abdominoplasty with lipo, fat transfer to nasal tip plus nasolabial folds and upper lip lift. These procedures were performed at St Luke's Hospital. My stay in hospital was five days. Every day that I was there he came in and visited with me asked how I was feeling listening to my concerns if any and answering questions. He even bought his little son in with him on the Saturday, this was his day off. The level of care and professionalism that this man has is beyond reproach. I am a changed woman, Dr Southwell-Keely has given me a new lease on life. I have a nice flat tummy without the awful fold of loose skin that I would try to tuck into my underwear or hide by placing my arms over my tummy, a belly button again, a beautiful curve to my waist line with everything in proportion. My face he has taken at least fifteen years off. I no longer have bags under my eyes, my face has no sag lines, under my chin and neckline is firm. Where I pretty much had no upper lip I now have one. There is no visible scarring. Again the post care in his offices was professional, friendly and unhurried. Any questions or concerns were answered. Both himself and Sue take the time to make you feel welcome and cared for. There is no ego or falseness, we didn't feel at any time like we were a bother just because the procedures were complete. In fact his post care service for what I had done does not finish until February, 2017. Both Richard and I would highly recommend anyone that is thinking of having procedures done to Dr James Southwell-Keely and his lovely medical receptionist Sue. We promise you, you will not be disappointed.

Thanks for sharing your experience! Do you have any before and after photos you’d be willing to add?

I do have some before and after photographs of myself. However although I don't have a problem letting people see just how good Dr Southwell - Keely is my husband has asked that I don't post pictures of my augmentation and tummy tuck. I will see if I can work out how to put before and after pictures of the work that James did around my eyes, jawline and lips. I had previously gone to William Mooney as a friend had recommended him from work. This friend is a part time actor and William Mooney had done work on one of his friends whom is also in the acting industry. So I went to him as I had know idea where to start. He was expensive, very expensive. Not only that William Mooney did such a bad job of my upper and lower eye lids that he didn't end up taking any after shots even though he had bought his camera into his consulting room to do just that. When I went for my second follow up visit the same thing happened. I kept thinking I should have looked a lot better than I did but there was no difference. My husband and I could both see by the expression on his face he knew he had stuffed up but didn't want ownership of his mistake. He told me as he left the office that I could hardly expect to look in my twenties again. I don't recall ever asking to look like I was twenty again. I didn't want that TIRED look you get as you age. Dr Southwell-Keely was able to do for me what William couldn't but I had to wait for twelve months. He told me it would make me look ten to fifteen years younger. True to his word it has, and I get comments all the time from my customers saying "you look so good" and "do you mind if I ask you how old you are"? When I tell them my age they say you don't look it. I am sorry for my late reply I don't often look at my emails. You can trust Dr Southwell-Keely to do the right thing by you and he will listen to what you want. He is honest and trust worthy. Both my husband and I wish we had known of him to begin with.
