“At The Clinic Plastic Surgery, we aim to treat all of our patients like members of our own family.”
A qualified Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon is fully accredited by the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons.
The difference between a plastic surgeon and a cosmetic surgeon is significant. Anyone with a medical degree can call themselves a “cosmetic surgeon” and are not accredited to operate in major private hospitals. A Cosmetic Surgeon is not recognised as a Specialist Surgeon or Specialist Plastic Surgeon by any of the regulating authorities such as Medicare Australia or the Medical Board of Australia. They also cannot register themselves as a Surgeon with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA).
Specialist Plastic Surgeons normally undergo extensive training in aesthetic surgery, maxillofacial surgery, paediatric plastic surgery and reconstructive surgery following trauma, burns or cancer treatment. After completing the mandatory years of training in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, many Specialist Plastic Surgeons undertake a fellowship to continue to gain further experience and training in specific branches of the specialty.
