Consultations are designed to give you the information you need to make an informed decision about whether surgery is right for you.  **Before & After Gallery**  Additional clinical photographs are available to view in our in-clinic gallery. As patient privacy is a priority, not all images are displayed online. Every patient featured in our gallery has provided written consent. Please note at the result are specific to the individual and may not represent the outcomes that other patients experience. Surgical results vary between individuals due to many factors, including genetics, lifestyle, diet, and adherence to post-operative care. Cosmetic surgery is only one option to consider – it may not be suitable for everyone.  ![GA18640 1](https://blog.averyplasticsurgery.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/GA18640%201.jpeg?width=753&height=371&name=GA18640%201.jpeg) ![GA18640 2](https://blog.averyplasticsurgery.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/GA18640%202.jpeg?width=753&height=370&name=GA18640%202.jpeg) ![GA18640 3](https://blog.averyplasticsurgery.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/GA18640%203.jpeg?width=753&height=371&name=GA18640%203.jpeg) These photos are of a real patient who has given their consent for their photos to be shown and depict surgeries performed by Dr. Gary Avery (MED0001633092) a registered medical practitioner, with specialist registration in Surgery – Plastic Surgery .   Cosmetic surgery is only one option available to individuals considering a change to their appearance. It may not be suitable for everyone. All surgical procedures carry risks, including potential complications, variable recovery experiences, and unpredictable outcomes. The results of any surgery are influenced by a range of individual factors, such as genetics, medical history, lifestyle, diet, and adherence to post-operative care. [Please view the link for information on risks and recovery](https://www.averyplasticsurgery.com.au/risks-and-recovery) associated with the surgery you are considering.   Recovery requires appropriate time, support, and aftercare, and may include discomfort, absence from work, and temporary restrictions on daily activities. Experiences of pain, healing timelines, and outcomes differ greatly between individuals.   No advertising content should be interpreted as suggesting surgery is needed to fix normal features or changes such as ageing or post-pregnancy body changes. We do not support terminology that implies a feature is problematic.   Before making any decisions, it is essential to have a thorough consultation with an appropriately qualified health practitioner, such as a Plastic Surgeon. We also recommend seeking a second opinion before proceeding.  Plastic Surgeon is a regulated term that can only be used by surgeons who have completed specialty training within plastic surgery and are Fellows of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (FRACS). The specialty training undertaken by Plastic Surgeons includes the surgical skills required for excellence in aesthetic surgery.
