Patient review
Breast Augmentation, Breast Lift - Mastopexy, Tuberous Breast Deformity
From a young age, I knew I wasn’t the same as all the other girls. They were severely asymmetrical
and their shape was consistent with, what I now know, tuberous breast deformity. This significantly
impacted my experiences during my teens and early twenties. I had very low self-esteem, self-worth
and self-confidence. I never confided in any friends about this until I was about 27 years old, I was
too fearful of judgement. I didn’t even tell my mother till I was about 23 years old. At 27 years old I
started researching and contacting surgeons, at 28 I finally had my surgery.
I had liaised with another plastic surgeon in Cairns for some time and contacted a few other
surgeons however, I chose to put my trust in Dr Ellis Choy; a highly skilled and experienced plastic
surgeon in Sydney. I always knew my surgery would not be straight forward and this was something I
had been looking forward to my entire life, in hope that one day, I might actually be able to feel
“normal”.
I met Dr Ellis Choy via our first phone consultation, and immediately I knew I had made the right
choice. Dr Choy gave me every opportunity to tell him my story, and express exactly what it is that I
wanted, and that I didn’t want. I decided for a bilateral breast augmentation lift approach for
correction of my severe breast asymmetry from tuberous breast deformity. I arrived in Sydney 2
days before my surgery and met with Dr Choy the day before my surgery. Dr Choy discussed my
surgery with me at length and left no question unanswered, while I was nervous for this life
changing event, I was reassured and felt safe in Dr Choy’s hands.
The minute I saw my new breasts, though still swollen, I was so pleasantly surprised! I am at week 6
now, and they change every week…they get better every week. Every phone call, text message,
email and question I have contacted Dr Choy with has been answered, usually before the end of the
day! His post care is brilliant, and Dr Choy is true to his word when he says you become a patient for
life.
Now I feel more confident and this has already translated and affected every aspect of my life. I can
start to say “yes” to invites and “yes” to relationships, and of course “yes” to spoiling myself with
beautiful dresses and lingerie I never thought I would be able to wear. My family and friends who
have now seen my before and after photos are amazed at my results, I’m amazed at my result and I
am keen to see how they look in the next 6-12months. So if you want a genuine surgeon with
experience and magic hands, I highly recommend Dr Ellis Choy- his artistry and skills has changed my
life.
