25.01.2022 Thank you every one for the most crazy amazing year. I hope everyone gets a chance to be with loved ones. I feel very lucky to be in Perth but appreciate how tough people elsewhere are doing it. Merry Christmas beautiful people, we are open again on the 11th of January! Xxx

24.01.2022 #australiasworstsurfer aka @drsamcunneen dedicates todays iso-surf to #florencenightingale who turns 200 today! Happy birthday Flo!! When she wasnt saving countless British soldiers lives during the Crimean war (1854) and organising modern nursing training, she loved pulling out the old board and having a paddle with mates. ( As with all social media posts this is an opinion and not necessarily fact....Flo might have surfed alone) Happy international nurses day!

24.01.2022 Three weeks post @drsamcunneen breast augmentation! @drsamcunneen usually performs a dual plane breast implant which means the top part of the implant is covered by the pectoral muscle, holding onto the implant and the lower part of the implant is just under the breast gland. This gives a more natural appearance and more longevity to the implants as they wont cause the breast to sag. The downside is its surgically harder, and also there is initially more swelling. We help control this with ice packs and gentle stretching exercises. Usually there is still some swelling three weeks post op..... this beautiful patient is lucky to have recovered so quickly!!!! Thank you for the lovely selfie! #breastaugmentation #whatsadualplane

24.01.2022 Feeling like Im in the wrong place on Saturday wearing strange gear, looking pretty weird. Sun of the times!

20.01.2022 Sometimes subtle curves are the way to go! Do you know what profile means? It’s how high a breast implant sits off the chest, not to be confused with width, which is how wide an implant is across the chest. Different companies use different terms for the amount of projection the implant has, like low, medium, high, ultra high or moderate, moderate plus, high and ultra high. I prefer my own classification which is 1) subtle, 2) is she, isn’t she, 3) fake, 4) hello sailor. All can work depending on the look required. 6 weeks post @drsamcunneen #breastaugmentation Thank you for the lovely selfie!!

20.01.2022 Patient booking surgery(PBS)- Im not one for taking selfies and sending them in @drsamcunneen -Thats fine, but often people feel so good post op they really enjoy seeing their bodies and change their mind! PBS-that wont be me! @drsamcunneen was right (1 year post #breasaugmentation ) #selfesteem #imrightsometimes #sometimesnot

20.01.2022 Breast lifts A.K.A. mastopexy is a terrific operation, returning the breast back to its normal position, and not needing any implants to achieve a youthful full appearance. The most obvious scar is the vertical one below the areola, which is the main downside to the removal of so much skin. This @drsamcunneen patient is 3 months post op. The scars are still pink but they generally become pale by a year making them pretty hard to see! As an aside, these are the same scars which are generally formed after a breast reduction. #mastopexy #breastlift #breastreduction

19.01.2022 Yellow dress, beautiful person, and @drsamcunneen #breastaugmentation ... Gonna be a good weekend. Thank you for the selfie!!! Have an amazing Friday!!!!!!! #itstime #weekendfun

18.01.2022 When two amazing @drsamcunneen patients find them selves shopping for bras together post #breastaugmentation and #breastreconstruction there are some pretty funny selfies being sent through! Looks like a fun day out! #shoppingspree #selfconfidence #youcanttouchthis #ifyouvegotitflautit

18.01.2022 Its lovely to see out patients from around the world sending in selfies to show their super curves post @drsamcunneen #breastaugmentation #holidaylook #lovinglife #thankyou

17.01.2022 Honored that @scottmorrisonmp obviously follows my posts and decided to make it official to cancel all non urgent surgery to protect patients and staff and preserve protective equipment.... And even if he doesnt its a sensible idea. We are gradually getting through contacting our patients who have been waiting for surgery to explain the situation. Obviously if you decide not to proceed with your surgery, especially in these difficult economic times @drsamcunneen is happy to refund any money you put down for your surgery.

15.01.2022 Post staged #breastlift and #breastaugmentation by @drsamcunneen Seeing the new found confidence in women who have previously been embarrassed about their bodies is one of the great pleasures of #plasticsurgery Sometimes people are so happy they send incredible selfies for insta... Thank you!

15.01.2022 18 months post #breastlift by @drsamcunneen (and a tummy tuck #abdominoplasty ) Theres something incredibly satisfying in taking a lady who thought she needed breast implants and explaining that she has enough native breast tissue to avoid any foreign material. Its just that her breast tissue was contained over really stretched redundant skin. There are NO implants that need changing in 10-15 years and NO implants too worry about infection. YES there are big scars, but with time they generally do pretty well. Thank you to this lovely patient for letting me use her before and afters. Also thank you to Funki Porcini- Pussycat for the music..... takes me back to lazy days in the 90s! #mastopexy #noimplants #checkoutthatnewbellybutton

15.01.2022 Being involved in kids sports has given me a fabulous opportunity to let of steam at the weekend yelling at kids who arent really sure they want to be there. I feel at home amongst all the other assistants and managers who tell the kids to be better than we ever were! Living vicariously with a beer in hand is a great way to spend the weekend!!! Go Giants! Thanks for the memories! (Luckily no one in the photo fits any of these descriptions...... very much) #kidssports #coachoftheyear #watchoutforpeoplewhowearmatchingshirts

14.01.2022 Thank you for being an amazing scrub nurse @amylisa1234 , tolerating my weirdness, always knowing what instrument I need when my mouth has stopped working and just always being fabulous. I hope New Zealand appreciates you!! Ill will miss you. #nurseryinspo #theatrelife

14.01.2022 Thank you to @harley_heartbreak_x for letting me repost this great post @drsamcunneen #breastaugmentation photo. Sometimes patient selfies are the only way I get to follow my busy patients up! Apparently all’s well!!!

14.01.2022 Tuberous breast deformity is a developmental deformity with a combination of breast asymmetry, puffy enlarged areola, a constricted breast base which makes the breast look very droopy and a really wide cleavage. Correction is difficult and can involve a number of operations using a combination of breast lift, breast implants, and fat grafting. With time and patience good results are possible! This beautiful lady is 6 weeks following hopefully her last operation by @drsamcunneen where fat was injected to shape her lower pole of the breast. Thank you for the lovely selfie! #tuberousbreasts

13.01.2022 Happy Sunday to this amazing post @drsamcunneen #breastaugmentation just trying out some new accessories to go with some new self confidence!!!! Things are starting to look very good for restarting aesthetic surgery, albeit at 50% levels of theatre capacity. We cant wait to help you. #rockingtheworld

12.01.2022 What happens if you cut into a recently removed saline implant? Salt water goes all over the nurse’s trolley and my shoes. This is why nurses don’t like me going any where near their stuff. Breast implants can contain silicone or saline. Saline implants tend to feel less natural and ripple way more, like a waterbed. Silicone implants have much more structure and a softer feel. #onehandedcutting #shoeshower #messybugger

12.01.2022 Its been a busy morning spent on the telephone. Ive decided to delay all non cancer surgery for the time being. I am so sorry for the inconvenience but keeping you, my staff and the hospital staff safe MUST be our number one priority. I dont know when this virus will blow over but as soon as it does Ill be so keen to help you be the best you can be. Im always happy to be contacted with any questions and we are still open for people who need to be seen.... As long as you are healthy! Stay safe lovely people, keep sending me selfies so everyone can stay entertained and informed over any lockdown which might be coming our way.xxx

12.01.2022 Im so spoilt with gifts! Thank you for the lovely chocolates, wine and home made cupcakes!!! Such a tasty treat at the end of the day. No pictures of me pumping iron in the gym, just me filling my face! #fatboy #cupcakesofinstagram #mypatientsareawesome

10.01.2022 Ive been slacking off on insta over the summer holidays but after a number of lovely messages Im back! After 30 years of surfing Ive finally been captured on a monster wave. This type of skill doesnt happen over night but with time and dedication its possible. #bettersurgeonthansurfer #literally30years #whydontholidayslastforever (music credits to groove armada, at the river)

10.01.2022 I’m sometimes asked ‘Do you ever get bored of doing breast augmentation?’ My answer is ‘No’ Thank you for the smoulderingly beautiful photo, it’s not until you’re touching the surface that you appreciate whether the floor polishers have missed a spot! 1 year post @drsamcunneen #breastimplants

09.01.2022 Ive been working on my watermelons over summer! #icarriedawatermelon #dirtydancingquotes #bigmelons #bigandbeautiful #freethenipple

09.01.2022 Corona virus social distancing time filler. @drsamcunneen is reducing patients seen, and converting any one who can be talked to via teleconference or telephone so we dont have too many patients in the waiting room. With government policy constantly evolving we are having to think on our feet to maintain safe social distancing. We apologise for any late calls rescheduling appointments to later in the year. Stay safe, wash your hands. Love@drsamcunneen

08.01.2022 With the numbers looking good for getting back to all things surgical soon I thought it was time to follow scomos (@scottmorrisonmp ) advice and get out from under the doona. Time to get back to work. This amazing @drsamcunneen patient had a #breastlift followed by #breastimplants 3 months later. Thank you to all my lovely patients who have sent in amazing post op photos, Ive been struggling to justify posting much while carnage was occurring, but hopefully, at least in Australia we have dodged a Corona bullet.

08.01.2022 Happy Fathers Day to the best Dad you could find. My crown is an encouragement award to keep trying to be as much fun as grandpa. #hopefullyalopeciaskipsageneration #terriblelightingofinstagram

08.01.2022 It’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas!! Boats, crayfish, swimming and breast augmentations! Surprisingly summer is our busiest time for #breastsurgery Thank you for this great 3 months post op @drsamcunneen #breastaugmentation photo!!

07.01.2022 A little more birthday love. Happy 3rd birthday to these wonderful additions post @drsamcunneen #breastaugmentation There might just be room for a candle, non flammable clothing permitting of course! Thank you for the great selfie #hotinthecity #nobranoproblemo #gettingbetterwithage

07.01.2022 Just me starring in the #rottoswimthrough I managed to beat 162 people. I agree there seems to be around 600 people on the beach, probably the filter..... Thank you for a great event, might take a gps locating device next time so the life savers dont have to work so hard from keeping me on course in the washing machine!

07.01.2022 Everyone loves a birthday, and I love getting the celebratory photos!! Happy 1st birthday post @drsamcunneen #breastaugmentation !!!! #mumsofperth #hotsummernights

06.01.2022 Happy mothers day. This is some of the incredible mums that have chosen @drsamcunneen for their surgery. While the decision to undergo surgery is a very personal choice which these strong ladies have done for themselves, I suspect fathers day has also greatly improved!?!?!

05.01.2022 Doing an interview for one off the public hospitals in town. I love meetings on line! Business up top, party underneath! It makes for a quicker start to the weekends fun. (Full disclosure- I showed the interviewers my lovely set of wheels)

05.01.2022 Is pretty special to see patients really enjoying their body post @drsamcunneen #breastaugmentation Thank you for the stunning photo!!! #bestjobintheworld #makethemostoflife

05.01.2022 It had to be done, the party/Covid mullet is gone. Its business time (I hope Bret and Jermaine aka The Flight of The Conchords are ok with me borrowing their awesome song Business Time) We are back at work and loving seeing our old and new patients again. Its so Wednesday night!!!! #itsbusinesstime

04.01.2022 More than 15 year old breast implants, which no longer really fit the chest and breast tissue which is dropping off the implants (waterfall deformity) Corrected by removing the implants and performing a breast lift/mastopexy. While the breast mound is clearly smaller the shape fits the chest a lot better. If the problem is breast shape I try to avoid implants and suggest a lift instead. I find implants positioned under large breasts create an unstable situation and think a beautiful shape is the key, not bra size! (Audio is the intro to ‘Over and over’ by Hot Chip) Thank you to this beautiful lady for giving me permission to use her before and after 3 months post #mastopexy #breastlift #implantremoval

04.01.2022 Oh so ready for Friday night!!! 2 months post @drsamcunneen #breastaugmentation Thank you for the selfie!

04.01.2022 Thank you for this beautiful selfie post @drsamcunneen #breastaugmentation making the most of the last days of sunshine. Its great to be back in the operating theatre and able to offer our full range of surgeries, with gradually increasing capacity. Hopefully the winter months deliver some winter post op selfie opportunities as well!!!!!

03.01.2022 My new favourite author!!! I think there may be a little bit of poetic license with regards to the devilishly handsome doctor who makes an appearance in the book, but what can you do? Im constantly amazed at the gratitude of my lovely patients. Thank you for the lovely dedication. (Second time appearing in a book, definitely the most flattering though!) Release date is the 23/7/20 #australianliterature #bighead #myfamilyknowwhattheyaregettingforchristmas

03.01.2022 This lovely post @drsamcunneen patient is 1 year post #breastaugmentation #fatgrafting and a symmetrising Peri-areolar mastopexy. When theres a small difference in the position of the nipples the height can be summarise summarise symmetrised with a small incision around the areolar that needs to lifted. You might be able to see a fine line around the right areolar. The surgical difficulty is stopping it from ending up really stretched. Ultimately no two breasts match exactly, but sometimes surgery can help improve the differences. 375cc round high profile implants have been used. #mastopexy #periareolar #sistersnottwins

02.01.2022 Its a hot one in Perth, so sometimes my patients need a quick break from their surgical bra post @drsamcunneen #breastagmentation Only two weeks post op and going well. Thank you for the cheeky bikini photo!! Generally @drsamcunneen suggests wearing a surgical bra for 6 weeks following surgery to help with post op swelling. The bra can also assist with making sure the implants stay where they are meant to be in the initial healing phase while the body makes its own thin scar like capsule around them, which will ensures the stay put for years to come.

01.01.2022 Im lucky I do a job that makes people feels so much better about their bodies! Sometimes standardised medical photos are good, but seeing how everything works in real life is useful as well. Here is an example of both, 2 months post @drsamcunneen #breastaugmentation Thank you for the fantastic selfies!
