There has been much recent media coverage regarding the faulty French made PIP breast implants. I would like to reassure all my patients that I have never used this brand of implants. Most of my patients have had the Allergan - McGhan or Silimed brands of implants.
If you are considering removal of these French made PIP brand of implants, please contact my rooms to make an appointment to discuss this further on 02 9893 9388
The breast implant procedure takes about 90 minutes and is generally performed as day-surgery, however, some patients prefer to recover in hospital for a night.
Post surgery, you will awaken with a large bandage around your chest. Dr Lim will review your progress a little later on that day. You will be fitted into a post operative bra and an implant stabiliser before you are discharged.
Upon release from hospital you will receive a prescription for antibiotics and analgesia. Dr Lim’s friendly staff will keep in contact after the procedure in order to monitor your progress. They will also attend to any queries or needs that you may present. Dr Jake Lim will review you again one week after you go home. Further reviews will be required at 1, 3 and 6 months. Appointments for these post consults will be made for you after each visit.
Our objective is to ensure that your experience is as easy and comfortable as possible. Dr Lim and his Nurse Consultant will give you as much time as you require in order to answer any queries that you may have.
Dr Lim performs surgeries only in fully accredited hospitals:
Breast augmentation surgery is usually performed as day-surgery procedure, although if you chose you may wish to stay in the hospital overnight for further recovery. Breast augmentation surgery is performed under general anaesthetic.
