Breast and plastic surgeon team in Melbourne please?

Hi - I'm a BCNA member of 4 years, and my dearest friend has just been diagnosed with breast cancer. She is joining BCNA, but I have offered to get this post up on her behalf while she comes to grips with her diagnosis. I was very happy with my breast surgeon, but not at all with the plastic surgeon who was recommended  because they operate at the same hospital. I had a mastectomy with immediate implant. My friend is planning on doing the same. She is privately insured, so needs a very good breast surgeon and plastic surgeon who work as a team at the same private hospital. Any help over the weekend would be greatly appreciated - she is seeing her GP again on Monday and can get referrals. Thanks so much, DaisyMarigold.

    @DaisyMarigold hugs to your Dear Friend. So Ive been on the merry go round for quite some years now. 1st Diagnosis in 2011 and 2nd in 2015, thank God!!! for my Breast Surgeon, without him and his expertise it would have been missed if I had of listened to the biopsy results, useless! I see Craig Murphy at Freemasons, he also works closely with Dean Trotter Plastic Surgeon. I had 2 breast surgeries at Freemasons with Craig and then Feb this year I had a single mastectomy/diep flap recon at The Royal Melb with Craig and Dean as they put me through the public system so I had no out of pocket. You can see my story in the Reconstruction Group, I'm super happy with my result and within 90 days heading for my revision surgery to complete my new boob lol with a nipple and lift my right to match :) Hugs Melinda xo
