Breast reconstruction surgeon recommendations

Hi all, Hope your keeping well and safe in this current Sydney lockdown. I am nearly 8 years post mastectomy and I have finally decided to have a reconstruction. I live in the Sydney/inner west and was wondering if anyone could recommend a surgeon.

    I’d go with Dr James Southwell-Keely. Has been recommended by a couple great specialists.

    Hi @Katie E, I live in inner west too. My surgeon was Professor Harvey Stern. He operates at Strathfield Private & RPA. I had a double DIEP and am very happy with the results and his care.

    Hi my reconstructive surgeon is Dr James Southwell - Keely he is located at Edgecliff and operates out of St Vincent’s Private Hospital in Darlinghurst.
    He is excellent technically  and very caring.
    I know there are many other excellent plastic surgeons in Sydney too.
    He was recommended by my breast cancer surgeon who is also excellent and he was in turn suggested by my amazing GP.
