Procedure: Breast Augmentation, & Rhinoplasty

"I have always wanted bigger breasts ever since I can remember, however after many years of researching the procedure, but being too worried to do anything about it, my mother informed me that she had heard about Dr Steve Merten.
I rang Steve’s Macquarie Street office and made an appointment. From the moment I walked in I felt immediately comfortable. There was a feeling of genuine warmth with not an ounce of pretentiousness. I was greeted by his staff like I was an old friend.
As soon as I met Steve I instantly knew he was the one I trusted to do the procedure. He took the time to find out about me and what I was hoping to achieve from the procedure then informed me what would be better for my frame etc and thoroughly explained every aspect of the procedure and what to expect after. He answered every question I had without me even having to ask.
I was booked in for day surgery and was treated wonderfully by all the staff. I left the same afternoon feeling absolutely fine. The aftercare by Steve and his team can only be described as amazing. I was given Steve’s mobile number and told to call anytime of the day or night. Liz and the girls called me all the time to check how I was.
Four years on, I can honestly say that I am beyond happy with my breasts. They are everything I wanted and more. I was scared of having an unnatural and hard look but they feel and look so realistic. There is not a day that goes by that I regret having the procedure or choosing Steve to perform it. I also lead an active lifestyle and they are never “in the way” or uncomfortable, they are wonderful.
About a year ago, I sustained a facial injury whilst on duty at work. Steve and his team were the only ones I trusted to go and see. I ended up having to have a Septoplasty and Rhinoplasty and once again Steve and his team, Liz and Cheryl went above and beyond. They booked me into hospital the next day and took care of every detail organizing everything with my work without me having to worry about a thing. A year on, my nose looks wonderful and once again, totally natural.
I would not hesitate for a second to recommend Steve and his team to anyone looking at having a procedure done. Steve is truly gifted as a plastic surgeon and the ONLY surgeon I would ever trust to operate on me".

"Dear Steve & Team
Since our first meeting in November 2008 and consequently booking surgery 2 weeks later for a Breast Reduction, Abdominoplasty & Liposuction, my life has been changed irrevocably.
I felt fully informed at every stage, from our very first meeting, during the pre and post surgery, and whilst in the care of the wonderful nurses at the Hunter’s Hill private hospital.
Deciding to have all the procedures done at the one time was a little daunting at first. As a working mother of 2 children I needed to know exactly what was ahead of me. Steve explained everything in detail and also made sure I knew the risks involved and the discomfort I could expect to feel after the procedure.
I followed Steve’s advice to the T and had a trouble free recovery. It was a lot less painful than I expected it to be and within 3 weeks I was able to move around and perform menial tasks. Steve said I shouldn’t expect to feel completely normal until 3 months after the procedure but only 2 months later, I was dancing with my daughter at a concert!
I couldn’t be happier with the results. I am able to wear clothes I never dreamed I’d be able to wear again and I feel 10 years younger!
I feel so much more confident than I have in years ………………….
Thanks again
Helen"

"Having had plastic surgery now on two occasions I can highly recommend Dr Steve Merten and his team. The service and level of professionalism is unmatched. The whole experience from the consultation stage to the post operative check up stage had no hidden surprises. It was outlined clearly and there was therefore no stress on you due to any information that was not disclosed. This is especially important if you are working and/or have children. Please do not think that plastic surgery changes what is on the inside but the inner confidence it gives you cannot be underestimated.
I have recommended a lot of my close friends to Dr Steve Merten and his team and the experience has been the same for all of them as well.
If you are considering plastic surgery then you owe it to yourself to at least have an initial consultation with Dr Steven Merten." |

"Dr Merten was referred to me via a friend who had breast reduction surgery, with which she was delighted. From the start Dr Merten really took time to understand what I wanted and gave me options discussing the pros/cons and risks of each option. I had gone to several surgeons prior to being referred to Dr Merten and none displayed the same level of care, thoroughness, professionalism, knowledge or honesty that Dr Merten displayed.
My 10 hour surgery was very successful and I can honestly say I would have no hesitation in doing it again. My in-hospital and subsequent follow up appointments have been thorough and both Dr Merten and his staff have displayed fantastic post surgery care and genuine customer service. I have already recommended him to several friends and colleagues." |

Procedure: Abdominoplasty & Breast Reduction

Steve Merten was the one I trusted. The only one I trusted. From the first consultation through to the surgery and after care, I was kept informed of everything that would take place. No one else wanted to do my surgeries combined, and it was important to me that they be done that way. I felt very comfortable with both him and his staff, and nothing was ever too much trouble at any time.
My care during surgery and post op was second to none. Five months after surgery, I'm feeling great, and have the results I wanted. I think it's really important to feel good on the inside and look our best on the outside. I'm a great believer that it's important to do what we feel is right for us. Steve Merten helped me achieve that and I know if I want anything else done, it's him I'll be seeing to achieve my goal."

Procedure: Breast Reduction

"I went to Dr Merten, having had a breast reduction 10 years earlier, and
I was experiencing what Dr Merten explained to me as ‘bottoming out’,
essentially giving the effect of my nipple being too high. Scared and
extremely self conscious, Dr Merten gave me the answers I was searching
for. He explained everything to me clearly and reassured me that I was
not alone and this can be rectified. He lifted a huge burden off my
shoulders. I felt confident that he could help me and booked my surgery
for 2 weeks later.
The girls that run the practice with Dr Merten, Cheryl and Liz were
extremely warm and helped me prepare for the procedure. What impressed
me even more was the continual follow up appointments with Dr Merten to
ensure the recovery and healing process was continuing successfully. You
don’t feel like just another person in and out for a procedure that is
very personal for you, you feel that you are taken care of and that you
can be open and know they understand your situation. I have all my
confidence in Dr Merten and his girls and would recommend them without
hesitation. Thank you for showing me the answer I had been searching
for." |

Procedure: Breast Reduction

"Almost after 2 years after my breast reduction I still marvel at my wonderful
"new" boobs. I no longer have problems with finding bras and swimwear
and can finally wear feminine, flinty evening wear confidently and
comfortably. Also gone is the shoulder, neck and back pain I used to
experience everyday.
Dr Steve Merten is not only a gifted surgeon but a kind and real person.
He displays genuine sensitivity and respect for the individual and their
needs. The team at Pure Aesthetics are wonderful and their patience,
caring and warmth add an extra dimension to their professionalism.
I have only praise for all at Pure Aesthetics and thank you for a great
experience and a fabulous end result that truly did exceed my
expectations." |

Procedure: Breast Reduction

“After seeing the results of 2 of my friends having breast reductions with Steve Merten, I knew there was no other doctor that I would consider for mine. After years of hating my breasts and talking about having a reduction, I finally got the courage to book a consultation with Steve, where he was very honest and made me fully aware of the risks associated with this operation and also how this operation would really improve my quality of life, confidence and body image.
Within a few weeks I had made the decision to book my operation although I was so nervous I just kept thinking of being able to wear sexy bra's, strap-less dresses and cute little bikini's. On the day of the Surgery all the staff at Hunters Hill Hospital were very warm and friendly and made me feel very comfortable. Before I knew it the surgery was over and I had a very pain-free and speedy recovery and was absolutely delighted with the results. I just wish I did it earlier!!
I would like to thank the team at Pure Aesthetics - Steve, Cheryl and Liz you have made this whole experience such a positive one. Having this operation has really changed my life and my wardrobe for the better. I would recommend it to anyone that is un-happy with their breast size!!!!!!! Thanks once again for this amazing life change.
Regards,
Monique” |

I am now wearing normal swimming costumes and bras. I am a 46 year old who now feels 30. My family and friends are amazed. The only regret that I have is I did not come to you sooner. Keep up the great work!" |

Dear Dr Merten
Please accept my sincere thank you for a successful outcome following my breast reduction surgery in 2008.
Suffering from severe pain and swelling in my breast due to lymphoedema after lumpectomy and radiotherapy in 2002, and after all avenues of lymphoedema management had failed, I came to you for advice.
From the initial consultation through to theatre and post-op appointments your expert professionalism has been outstanding.
I have now been pain free for 12 months.
Thanks you also to your Macquarie Street staff."

"It's impressive and miraculous how I've had complex irreversible damage to the breast fixed completely. Usually, surgeons would never have the confidence and understanding to fix such trauma - unlike Steve Merten who is a superb specialist. It's not normal to be that good!! This surgery has been life saving, curing my whole physical well being and my mental health. I'm now at peace in all aspects of my life."

Procedure: Breast Enlargement

“Before meeting Dr Merten I was very sceptical to the whole “Breast Enlargement” procedure but knew that it was something I wanted very much to make me feel confident within myself. Upon meeting Dr Merten and his team I was very pleased with the attention and information that I received. I not knowing correct terminology sometimes found it hard to word some of the questions and concerns that I had about the procedure but Dr Merten understood what I was talking about and answered in non technical terminology so it was easier for me to understand.
After the procedure the commitment from Cheryl to contact me and Dr Merten at each of my follow up appointments was amazing and if there was a question that I had I could call them and not feel embarrassed as they had all the answers.
I am very happy with my results and if I ever feel I would like more plastic surgery I would go straight to Dr Merten and Pure Aesthetics without hesitation. Thank you so much.” |

"Seeing Dr Steve Merten and the Pure Aesthetics team was the best decision that I have ever made - I have so much more confidence.
I heard about Dr Merten through word of mouth and all the feedback was positive and encouraging. Dr Merten is very thorough in his delivery of information and with his wonderfully dry sense of humour will make you feel comfortable and at ease. All of the staff are amazing to deal with and are always there to answer any questions that you have before and after surgery. You will have no regrets dealing with them at any time.
I will have no hesitations contacting them again in the future and I let everyone who is interested know how wonderful this company is"

Procedure: Breast Augmentation

"When I first met Dr Merten I was happy and at ease with him. He took his time to ask me what result I as after - I was mainly after a natural look. So after measuring me for my height and body structure we then went through shapes and a final look that he would achieve. I was a bit scared about the whole “breast enlargement” procedure but this was something that I had talked about for a few years on my views and what I wanted for ME; not what my husband wanted. I wanted to feel and look more like a woman. After having kids (that didn't help) then to having a big health scare, they looked a bit deformed and small to me! Dr Merten was great answering any of my concerns that I had about the whole procedure, making me feel very much at ease. I am so happy with my natural looking breasts. They are exactly what I wanted, so now I look and feel like a very sexy and happy woman.
Thank you Dr Merten you are a gifted man, and you have made me very happy and NO regrets.
And the husband likes them too!"

" I was referred to Dr Merten for the removal of a squamous cell carcinoma on my face - just below my left eye, adjacent to my nose. The procedure was explained to me in detail and I was a little apprehensive regarding my appearance after the surgery. I need not have been concerned. Not only did Dr Merten remove the cancer, but I was left with a barely discernable mark, even without the use of any cosmetics. What a wonderful result! I would have no hesitation in recommending Dr Merten and his team to others for this type of surgery."
