She would also unwittingly pick a doctor who was later suspended by the NSW Medical Council over complaints made by dozens of women to Nine’s A Current Affair.

“I thought I did enough research and I trusted in him. And that’s where it all went wrong,” she said. However, Ms Harrison said she felt it was too late to back out and the nurses reassured her that everything would be fine.She was told to put in some earphones and listen to some music on her mobile phone while the operation got underway.

“A lot of these GP surgeons can’t get access to hospitals because most day surgeries or private hospitals won’t accredit these people to operate there,” Assoc Prof Hussain said.“So obviously they are not able to administer proper anaesthesia, they then have to do it under local anaesthetic. “I think every day that goes by patients are being put at risk and patients are exposing themselves to dangers so we would like to see something happen here as soon as possible,” he said.Ms Harrison said she found out after the surgery that Dr Blackstock had inserted two different size implants.

“I get the worst pain in my chest, I get shooting pains, my chest feels like it's burning. One breast is now much bigger than the other and I have lumps in my right breast that are painful,” she said. “This was a legitimate facility that was safe, doing very well and helping a lot of people,” he said.

The recently emerging condition is recognised by the Australian Department of Health, although doctors say more research still needs to be done.
