Why Are Customer Reviews Important? Approximately 90% of people check out a business, product or service online before choosing to buy. Research suggests that 88% of these people trust online reviews. Websites such as Plastic Surgery Hub allow you to independently research practitioners and surgeons in order to hear what other patients have to say, get a feel for the surgeon’s popularity and make sure you’re making the right choice for you and your procedure. Every now and then we notice that one of the surgeons, clinics or practitioners we have listed on the Hub have more reviews than most. One of these is NorthEast Plastic Surgery with locations in Melbourne and Brisbane. Their patients are real advocates of the services and here are a few snippets from some.

Rhinoplasty is still one of the most popular plastic surgery procedures, and will no doubt continue to be. The nose is one of the most significant parts of the face and whether it’s due to genetics or trauma, having a shapely nose is the reason many undergo plastic surgery. One of the most popular questions we are asked is what’s involved in a rhinoplasty recovery? How long will you need off work? What can you expect? Whilst it goes without saying you should only have your rhinoplasty performed by a specialist, getting the best result possible also involves a good recovery. We chat to Dr George Marcells, a rhinoplasty specialist in Sydney, about what you should look for when choosing your rhinoplasty surgeon and how to have a great recovery and minimise your chances of having a revision.

However, there are quite a few of us who don’t necessarily feel comfortable showing off our bellies. And it’s not always because we’re not happy with our weight. Belly buttons are those little things that can cause big concern. Dr Mark Hanikeri, Specialist Plastic Surgeon from Perth, WA, says he’s seeing more and more people come in for Belly Button Surgery or Belly Button Reshaping. We find out more.

If you’re wondering IF it’s time to consider a face lift procedure to rejuvenate your facial appearance, you’re best to see a specialist plastic surgeon.

Surgery has never been so easily accessible as it is in today’s age, and it is now easier than ever with a facelift payment plan.
