Why Do So Many Women Choose Dr Punj for Breast Surgery?
Choosing to undergo primary or corrective breast surgery is a significant personal decision – one that deserves the care, expertise, and skills of a compassionate Plastic Surgeon like Dr Punj.
With more than 15 years of post-graduate surgical training, Dr Punj has honed his surgical skills and combined them with an unwavering commitment to patient care and safety.
Dr Punj’s earns the trust of so many patients as a result of the following:
- One-Hour, Unrushed Consultations: Dr Punj allocates a full hour to each initial consultation in order to fully understand your concerns, explain your surgical options, and ensure that you are well-informed.
- Customised Surgery: Dr Punj does not use a ‘one technique suits all’ approach. Instead, he customises each patient’s surgery to suit their individual anatomy, lifestyle, and aesthetic goals.
- Outstanding Patient Care: With Dr Punj, you will never feel like ‘just another number’. Dr Punj and his team will be with you every step of the way – from your initial consultation right through to your full recovery.
- 24/7 Post-Operative Support: Unlike some practices where post-operative care is allocated to the nursing team, Dr Punj personally performs all follow-up consultations to ensure you are supported by the surgeon who performed your surgery. For even greater peace of mind post-surgery, Dr Punj will provide his personal contact details in the event you have any concern after-hours.

A Personal Message from Dr Punj
“When it comes to breast surgery, I have one crystal-clear objective: to not only deliver beautiful breast results but to provide every patient with an exceptional surgical journey that leaves them feeling understood and totally supported every step of the way.
It all starts with an unrushed initial consultation where I allocate a full hour to listen to your concerns and goals, take many detailed measurements, and explain all your surgical options.
After surgery, you won’t feel you’ve been just another patient number. I will personally review you at each post-operative appointment and you will even be given my personal contact details in case you have any concern after-hours.
For me, the reward is not only delivering a beautiful result but making you feel cared for, and thrilled with your transformation.
Warm regards,
Dr Puvesh Punj”
