Choosing to undergo plastic or cosmetic surgery is a deeply personal decision, and it’s important to take the time to consider your options carefully. Each person’s reasons and goals are unique, and what matters most is that the decision is made independently and with a full understanding of the procedure, including the potential risks, benefits, and limitations.

Before deciding on any treatment, it’s important to speak with a registered health practitioner who is experienced, qualified, and someone you feel comfortable discussing your concerns and questions with. A consultation provides the opportunity to learn more about what’s involved in a procedure and helps support informed decision-making based on your personal circumstances.

Dr Isolde Hertess is currently taking consultations. If you're considering a procedure and would like to know more, an appointment can provide clear, personalised information to help guide your next steps. There is no obligation, and taking your time is encouraged to ensure any decision you make is right for you.

What makes a surgeon a great surgeon? Here's just a few things...

✔️ Board Certification & Specialised Training - A great plastic surgeon is certified by recognised medical boards in their country of practice and has undertaken rigorous, specialist training in plastic and reconstructive surgery.

✔️Aesthetic Judgment - Beyond technical skill, a surgeon should have a strong sense of aesthetics to create results tailored to each individual’s anatomy and goals.

✔️Extensive Experience & Proven Results - Years of hands-on experience, especially in the specific procedures offered, combined with a portfolio of before-and-after cases, are strong indicators of experience.

✔️Clear Communication & Patient Centered Care - Great surgeons take time to understand their patient’s expectations, explain procedures thoroughly, discuss risks honestly, and ensure their patient feels supported throughout the process.

✔️Attention to Safety & Ethical Standards - They prioritise patient safety, follow the highest hygiene and surgical standards, and are transparent about what is realistically achievable — refusing procedures that are unsafe or unnecessary.
