Feeling truly humbled today — I just received a beautiful thank-you gift from one of my breast augmentation patients, and it got me reflecting on what it really means to be a good surgeon.
Here’s what I believe defines our craft and embodies an old surgical adage well known within the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (RACS):
The eye of an eagle — A keen, unwavering focus on anatomy, symmetry, proportion and detail. Because when you’re working with the contours of the body, every millimetre matters.
The heart of a lion — Courage to plan boldly, confidence to execute safely and compassion to guide patients through the journey with empathy and care. Because for many, this is more than cosmetic; it’s restorative.
The hand of a lady (or gentle hand) — Mastery of technique, delicate ex*****on and a touch that feels respectful, personalised and safe. Precision isn’t just technical; it’s experienced.
As a member of the Australasian Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (ASAPS), I’m committed to upholding the highest standards of safety, ethics and ongoing education — because excellent outcomes require more than skill; they demand integrity, humility and lifelong learning. 
To my patient: thank you for your trust, your gift and the privilege of being part of your story. To my future patients: I never take for granted the responsibility I hold when you walk through my door.
DM me if you’d like to learn more about breast augmentation options, post-operative care or what it truly means to choose a surgeon who brings the eye, heart and hand.
Here’s to beauty, safety and confidence.
