Plastic surgeons in Melbourne

Question

I am not able to identify any good source where we can actually get to know the feedback about the Plastic Surgeons. As this is highly skilled and time consuming procedure, I want to make sure that I do thorough check before deciding on the Plastic Surgeon.

Ladies (based out of Melbourne), please share the feedback about the Plastic Surgeon you have worked with in the past. What's the name of the Plastic surgeon and whether you would recommend him?

Has anyone heard about or worked with Dr Julian Liew and has any inputs on his work?

@desinha&nbsp;It is a difficult question that you pose and it really is for you to decide who suits you.&nbsp; I have included a link here from the BCNA website that hopefully will give you resource to do researchhttps://www.bcna.org.au/understanding-breast-cancer/treatment/breast-reconstruction/Take care

Desinha,May I ask what procedure are you hoping to have done?I am assuming this is in private.I will take some time because it's how I suggest you assess any of your carers.I ask because depending on the surgery you will aim to access a different skill set.- Breast surgeon ( General surgeon training ) with some plastic/oncology training&nbsp;- Plastics Aesthetic work ( these are the expanders, implants, revision of recon, nipple work )- Plastics Major Reconstruction ( these are the guys that do the microscope anastomoses work and the more complex flaps)&nbsp;A good place to start is to ask your surgeon how many of these he does a week/month/year.Another good question is to get them to run through their complications - those who are very comfortable with their work will also be VERY comfortable with listing the complications together with what they are going to do about it. To be blunt even in the best hands if you do something for long enough, shit sometimes happens but the good ones know how to fix it and STICK with their patients.&nbsp;I have quickly googled your surgeon suggestion - I know nothing about him. But these two pieces of info stand out:Finished University - 2002 - so at the quickest he would have had his Plastic Fellowship 8 years later ( 3 basic training and 5 advanced training ) and if he did some general surgery he really did not fly into full practice until 2011 -2012 - again you should ask - how many years has he been a plastic surgeon.Does he perform all the procedures listed at the Clinic - that is possible, but pretty broad spectrum. Go back to how many breasts of your type a week.Hope that helps,
