Appointments
Your first visit provides an opportunity to meet Dr. Mooney and his staff, to ask any questions you may have and to determine whether or not your planned surgery is for you.
Before your first visit, you may want to think through your expectations, especially with cosmetic surgery so that you can discuss them openly with Dr. Mooney. Cosmetic and reconstructive surgery can improve your appearance and enhance your self-esteem, but it alone will not change your life.
During your initial visit, Dr Mooney will explain the specific procedure you want, help you visualize the results and go over the risks. With cosmetic procedures Dr Mooney uses the latest computer imaging software to enable you to see how the finished surgery will look on your face before committing to surgery. Essentially this process involves having a digital image of your face with a front and side profile, altered on screen by Dr Mooney.
Working with Dr Mooney in his office you are able to keep looking and adjusting until you achieve the result you are aiming for. This means you can achieve the look you want whilst Dr Mooney will guide you in a realistic manner about what is achievable with your face structure. These before and after images can be then taken away personally at the end of the consultation or emailed to you so that you can also discuss the changes with your family, partner or friends. Often this process can take several consultations.
For patients with general ear, nose and throat concerns (non-cosmetic) Dr Mooney is often able to address many minor concerns in his practice rooms, however some patients will be referred for further consultations or possible surgery. Minor procedures including endoscopies are performed in the practice rooms. For non-cosmetic patients you will be required to provide a referral letter from your GP. Routine and advance surgeries are performed at the following hospitals:
- Bondi Junction Private Hospital, Bondi Junction
- St Lukes Private Hospital, Darlinghurst
- Bankstown Public Hospital, Bankstown
- Strathfield Private Hospital, Stratfield
Once the surgery and outcomes have been agreed to you will be given a full written quote for the surgery and associated medical costs, and a date will be made for the surgery.
Although complications are rare, all surgeries, especially those that involve anaesthesia, carry some risks. Dr. Mooney will outline these for you based on the specific procedure.
As in any medical practice, all information about your visit is kept confidential.
Please call 1300 379 455 to make an appointment with Dr Mooney or discuss your needs further please use our Online Inquiry Form to speak with our Patient Coordinator.
Rhinoplasty
The nose serves as the axis of the face: the static structure around which the expression, dynamism and beauty of the face find axis. For cosmetic surgery to succeed, the surgeon must strike a delicate balance between artistry and medical science.
