Choosing a plastic surgeon is an important decision, and doing it carefully can help ensure both safety and results you’re happy with. Here’s a clear, practical guide to help you choose the right one:

✅ 1. Check Their Board Certification

Look for a plastic surgeonwho is a Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons in Plastic surgery. This confirms they’ve had proper, specialized training—not just a short cosmetic course.

✅ 2. Verify Their Experience in the Specific Procedure
Plastic surgeons often specialize. Ask:

· How many times have you performed this exact procedure?
· What are your complication rates?
· Are you comfortable handling revisions if needed?

Experience in your specific procedure matters more than general experience.

✅ 3. Review Before-and-After Photos during Consultation.

Look for:

· Patients with a similar body type, age, or features
· Natural-looking results aligned with your aesthetic goals
· Consistency across many cases (not just a few good ones)

Red flags:

· Photos that look overly filtered or inconsistent
· No photos available

❓ 4. Ask About Safety and Accreditation

Make sure surgeries are performed in an accredited hospital.

Also ask:

· What type of anesthesia will be used?
· Who is the anesthesiologist and are they certified?

💬 5. Evaluate Communication Style

Choose a surgeon who:

· Listens carefully and answers questions clearly
· Explains risks without minimizing them
· Doesn’t pressure you into unnecessary procedures

💰 6. Be Wary of Prices That Seem Too Low

Cheap surgery can mean:

· Inexperienced surgeons
· Low-quality facilities
· Hidden fees or poor follow-up care

Look for value and transparency.

🔍 7. Read Verified Reviews (Critically)

Look at:

· Patient satisfaction with results
· Professionalism of the staff
· Quality of aftercare

Avoid putting too much weight on one extremely positive or negative review—look for patterns.

🩺 8. Assess the Consultation

Ask yourself:

· Did the surgeon set realistic expectations?
· Did you feel comfortable discussing concerns?
· Were complications and risks explained clearly?

A good consultation feels educational—not salesy.

💙Our skin is often the first thing that people notice about us. Smooth, supple and radiant skin is a good indicator of health and is one of the universal hallmarks of beauty.

Plastic surgery has its limitations when it comes to improving the health of our skin. A facelift will not improve or correct unhealthy skin.

I invest in my skin as I do in my Hermes handbags 😉

I believe that ZO® Skin Health products are the best way to achieve healthy skin that looks and feels beautiful and I have made it my personal goal to help my patients achieve healthy and beautiful skin.

💙ZO® Skin Health products work from the inside out, stimulating your skin’s cells to nourish, replenish and maintain themselves to support daily skin health and protection from the environment.

💙Unlike many high street brands, ZO® Skin Health use medical grade ingredients, advanced peptides, plant stem cells, pure retinol, powerful antioxidants and multi-therapy delivery systems to achieve their results and preventative solutions for every skin type.

Healthy, resilient skin begins with science — not guesswork.

How much tissue is removed during breast reduction surgery?

This is one of the most common questions I get about breast reduction — and the truth is, it really depends on you! 💕

On average, I remove anywhere from 300 to 2000 grams (yes!) of breast tissue per breast — but the focus isn’t just on the number.

It’s about achieving balance, proportion, and comfort that fits your body and lifestyle.

All breast reduction surgeries are almost always done for medical relief (think back, neck, or shoulder pain) — and in those cases, insurance may even require a minimum tissue amount to qualify (for example it is minumum 350g per breast for Suthern Cross in New Zealand) New Zealand 🇳🇿 .

At the end of the day, it’s not about how much is taken away — it’s about how much better you’ll feel: lighter, more confident, and finally comfortable. ✨

What are the breast implant replacement options?

🌱Replacing with different size- many women choose to change their implant size after several years. Statistics show that around 20% of women opt for larger implants during replacement surgery-they may desire a fuller look or feel that their previous size is no longer suitable. Decreasing size on the other hand, can stem from lifestyle changes, health concerns, or personal preference. Over time, some might find larger implants uncomfortable or impractical

🌱Replacing implants with a newer generation of implants-some patients opt for a newer generation of breast implants, such as Motiva Ergonomix breast implants

🌱Combining with a breast lift for better contour- over time, breast tissue can change due to weight fluctuations or aging. Breast lift helps accommodate different sizes or styles effectively

🌱Removing implants altogether with or without the capsule

Why Credibility Matters in Plastic Surgery 🩺✨

In plastic surgery, trust is everything. Patients don’t just choose a surgeon — they choose the person they believe will listen, care, and deliver results safely and ethically.

Building credibility isn’t about popularity or followers — it’s about:

✅ Honesty about what’s achievable

✅ Commitment to patient safety

✅ Consistent, high-quality results

✅ Ethical communication and transparency

When patients trust your expertise, they feel confident, supported, and empowered — and that’s when truly life-changing results happen.

Credibility isn’t built overnight. It’s earned — one patient, one result, one honest conversation at a time

Being invited by media to interviews is a significant recognition and a confirmation of the credibility.

🇵🇱✨ Historic moment for my home Poland! It officially joined the elite club of $1 trillion economies—one of just 20 nations worldwide to hit this milestone. With GDP growth at 3.4% and record-breaking rises in disposable income, Poland is leading the charge 💪📈

From resilience to global relevance, this is more than economics—it’s a statement.

The development marks a significant symbolic moment for my home country that has seen its economy grow rapidly since shaking off communism 35 years ago.
