Why Credibility Matters in Plastic Surgery 🩺✨

In plastic surgery, trust is everything. Patients don’t just choose a surgeon — they choose the person they believe will listen, care, and deliver results safely and ethically.

Building credibility isn’t about popularity or followers — it’s about:

✅ Honesty about what’s achievable

✅ Commitment to patient safety

✅ Consistent, high-quality results

✅ Ethical communication and transparency

When patients trust your expertise, they feel confident, supported, and empowered — and that’s when truly life-changing results happen.

Credibility isn’t built overnight. It’s earned — one patient, one result, one honest conversation at a time

Being invited by media to interviews is a significant recognition and a confirmation of the credibility.

🇵🇱✨ Historic moment for my home Poland! It officially joined the elite club of $1 trillion economies—one of just 20 nations worldwide to hit this milestone. With GDP growth at 3.4% and record-breaking rises in disposable income, Poland is leading the charge 💪📈

From resilience to global relevance, this is more than economics—it’s a statement.

The development marks a significant symbolic moment for my home country that has seen its economy grow rapidly since shaking off communism 35 years ago.

Unless they are awarded The Fellowship of The Royal Australasian College of Surgeons in Plastic Surgery and are registered in the vocational scope in plastic and reconstructive surgery (specialist registry) by The Medical Council of New Zealand, these are NOT plastic surgeons:

👉Dermatologists
👉Facial plastic surgeons
👉Breast surgeons
👉Oncoplastic surgeons
👉Cosmetic surgeons/doctors
👉Oculoplastic surgeons
Etc…

I have worked very hard to earn the title of Specialist Plastic Surgeon and it infuriates me when I see patients who come and see me and say they had a surgery done by a “plastic surgeon” only to find out it was one of the above!

One of the easiest ways of finding a specialist plastic surgeon is to make sure that they are board certified, or in New Zealand and Australia that means , the doctor is awarded the Fellowship of the RACS -Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (FRACS) in plastic and reconstructive surgery. This means he or she has undergone a rigorous certification process. Please be aware no body else is a specialist plastic surgeon unless they hold the above. Medical credentials can often be confusing if you’re unfamiliar with the jargon, so it’s helpful to know what to look for. There are just less than 70 of us in New Zealand.

Please, do your research!

Prescription skin care I personally recommend is .

Prescription skincare products are highly effective in addressing various skin problems due to their targeted formulations and active ingredients. Unlike over-the-counter (OTC) skincare products, medical grade and prescription products are only available from a doctor who has advanced training in the products and the ability to write a prescription.

It’s important to note that prescription skincare products can be potent and may have side effects or interactions. Therefore, it is crucial to use them under the guidance and supervision of a doctor with a specialist interest in skin.

I predominantly use Motiva SmoothSilk Ergonomix Implants. Motiva implant profiles are distinguished by differences in the width and height of the implant.

Put simple, the higher the profile, the fuller the look. The implant will be narrower and project more (in a forward dimension, so the breast will look fuller from the front) than an implant of a similar volume with a lower profile.

Motiva implant profiles:

Mini: The lowest profile option, offering subtle forward projection.

Demi: A moderate-low profile, providing a balance between subtle and higher projection.

Full: A moderate-high profile, designed for more projection and fuller cleavage.

Why may breast implants need to be replaced?

The main key signs and considerations for breast implant replacement include:

🌱Age of the implants (they typically last between 10–15 years). Regular check-ups with your plastic surgeon are essential for monitoring their condition over time
🌱Rupture or leak (saline or silicone)- if you notice changes like asymmetry, rippling, wrinkling, or shifts in implant position, you may need a replacement. Implant rupture or leakage can also cause noticeable changes in shape and size, especially with saline implants
🌱Capsular contracture or discomfort- breast pain or discomfort can signal an issue with your implants. This includes persistent pain and the development of hard, tight scar tissue known as capsular contracture
🌱Desire to change size, shape, or type of breast implant-the personal preferences may change over time, and you may eventually want a different size or type of implants.
🌱Cosmetic reasons or personal preference- some women choose to later replace their implants based on their current lifestyle or aesthetic goals
🌱Concerns about BIA-ALCL- Breast Implant-Associated Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma is a rare type of lymphoma that can develop around breast implants, particularly those with a textured surface

Common signs and symptoms of ruptured breast implants.

Often there are no symptoms when an implant ruptures. When a saline implant ruptures or its valve fails, the saline leaks out quickly — typically taking a few days — and the breast appears somewhat deflated, so you know immediately that it’s ruptured. The saltwater is absorbed by the body. When a silicone implant ruptures, the gel leaks out slowly because it’s thick. Silicone gel is not absorbed into the body. The most common symptoms of ruptured breast implant include:

· Lumpiness or hardening
· Change in breast shape or size
· Pain, tenderness, or burning sensation
· Swelling
· Numbness
· Asymmetry between breasts
· Silent rupture (especially with silicone implants)

It is helpful to know the symptoms of a ruptured implant, but the best way to detect a rupture is through an MRI scan.
