04.06.2016 - Catherine Verified userDefinitely recommend Dr McHugh!
Abdominoplasty I recently had an abdominoplasty ("tummy tuck") by Dr McHugh and my results are fantastic! After losing 30kgs through diet and exercise, I was left with a lot of excess skin on my tummy. 2.3kgs of excess skin was removed and I feel like a new woman!Dr McHugh and his staff were wonderful, very knowledgable regarding my procedure, and completely put me at ease throughout the entire experience. His fees are quite reasonable and I have also referred friends to him who were equally as thrilled with their results! Definitely recommend Dr McHugh!

Dr. John was brilliant. The procedure to remove the cancerous mole on my chin went really well. His nurses were kind and supportive. The organising of the procedure was seamless even though I was coming from interstate. Thank you so much to everyone, I highly recommend Dr. John and his clinic.

19.06.2018 - Lee Verified userSo far, everything is healing well. The experience was great from start to finish
I found Dr McHugh through a Google search for surgeons who perform labiaplasty in the Penrith, NSW area and booked an appointment for a consultation. He was pleasant, helpful and I was at ease with him for the entirety of my consultation. He answered all my inquiries and informed me about the procedure in detail. He performed the operation at a local hospital and I am extremely happy with the result. He exceeded all of my expectations.He perscribed me antibiotics and pain medication post-op to assist with recovery. The clinic was clean and I was assisted by friendly, helpful staff. I had a follow-up afterwards and I have another appointment coming up next month. So far, everything is healing well. The experience was great from start to finish. I’d certainly recommend Dr. McHugh!
12.04.2019 - Anonymous Verified userThere was no pressure, just guidance and that’s what I needed
As a woman in her mid 50's who now has a renewed self and body confidence. Dr John McHugh team are amazing and supportive. Dr John is patient and understanding. The surgery was competitively priced. Dr John and his team made me feel so comfortable, I am so happy I chose him. So far, my results have far exceeded my expectations. Special thanks to Dr McHugh, Tanya and Bec.My experience: First surgery breast reconstruction Oct 2018.Second surgery tummy tuck March 2019.I had a lengthy consultations x 2 for both surgery with Dr McHugh where we discussed my goals aesthetically and post-surgery expectations. He listened and never rushed me, addressing all of my questions and concerns. His approach felt fresh and completely customised to my situation. I talked to several of surgeons were there was a lot of impatience, arrogance or dry personalities. Dr.McHugh really feels like he cares and is very professional and knowledgeable. During my consult, I also talked to the Patient Coordinator, Tanya. She also took as much time as I needed for Q&A and she was able to provide real-life testimonials about women that went through the surgery and shared some of my same concerns and insecurities. Elective surgery is a major decision and I needed to feel understood and, in some sense, validated. There was no pressure, just guidance and that’s what I needed.
05.11.2014 - Lou Verified userRecommend him and his staff highly!
After 3 pregnancies, (one being twins) and 3 caesareans, I carried around a huge "spare tyre" above my caesarean scar. I developed painful adhesions from the same. I had approached other surgeons, and was left feeling worse with their negative views and disinterested nature...one even suggested I have a gastric bypass (This procedure would NOT have helped dead, hanging skin.!)I met Dr John McHugh after a great phone call to his clinic manager and my life has been blessed ever since!I had a Radical Abdominoplasty and hip and stomach liposuction.Every procedure and visit I was left feeling as though I was somebody so important because of the sincere care and concern received.This Dr would ring me on Sundays to check how I was feeling and personally phone my local chemist with instructions when I needed prescribed meds on the weekend following surgery.Am glad I chose him as my surgeon and recommend him and his staff highly!
27.07.2015 - Alison Verified userSelf conscious about my breasts after childbirth
I went to Dr Mc Hugh for breast augmentation after being self conscious about my breasts after childbirth. He did an AMAZING job and I couldn't be happier with the size and after care I received from all the staff. Anyone who is thinking about breast augmentation or any kind of body make over after childbirth or any kind of weight fluctuations I highly recommend Dr Mc Hugh and his lovely staff. I originally chose Dr Mc Hugh after finding him online. I had my first consultation and was treated with nothing but respect and understanding and I felt he really listened to me and answered all my questions. Dr Mc Hugh and all the staff were all so lovely and kind. I recommended Dr Mc Hugh 100% and am already planning on going back for other procedures.

06.08.2015 - Nicole Verified userI loved the way my eyes looked
I had saggy baggy eyelids and hated them, I always looked tired and my eyelids were quite fat too. I wanted my eyes to look nice and open for my wedding so I wouldn't regret my photos, and I loved the way my eyes looked and you could actually see my eye shadow not just eyelid on eyelash.. it was great value for money :-) I chose to go with Dr McHugh and his team due to the welcoming feeling I had on my first visit, they answered any questions, made me feel very comfortable and have been great on all other follow up visits too.
25.02.2016 - Robyn Verified userI lost 30 kilograms and felt strong
Three years ago I weighed in at 30 kilograms overweight. Through changing my lifestyle and putting in time and effort I lost those 30 kilograms and felt strong and fit for the first time in ages. The weight loss left me with lots of baggy skin on my tummy. I had a radical abdominoplasty done by Dr John McHugh and couldn't be happier with the result. Yes, I was uncomfortable immediately following the surgey but within 5 days all of my discomfort had gone.The overall experience was positive, the cost of the procedure was very very reasonable and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the procedure. This clinic was the second one I visited. The comparison between the clinics was astounding. At the first clinic the surgeon spent 10 minutes with me, told me I needed a complete body lift and it would cost in excess of $30,000, he then handed me forms and said sign here. I needed a second opinion.My first visit with John lasted 30-40 minutes. He explained the whole procedure, from hospital admission to 6 months post surgery, all of the questions I asked were answered with lots of easy to understand information. There was zero pressure placed on me to make a decision then and there.Joanne, who works at the clinic, was always helpful and available to answer any extra questions I thought of. The clinic staff are thoroughly professional and friendly people who care about their clients and the results.
