Founded by Dr Julian Liew
The Clinic Plastic Surgery is a boutique, specialist practice in East Melbourne dedicated to delivering high-quality plastic and reconstructive surgery in a warm, professional, and patient-focused environment.
Founded by Specialist Plastic Surgeon Dr Julian Liew, The Clinic was built on a commitment to combining surgical expertise with a deeply personal approach to care. Every aspect of the clinic — from consultation to recovery — is designed to prioritise patient comfort, education, and support.
At The Clinic, we believe that excellent outcomes come not only from technical skill, but from understanding each patient’s individual goals and concerns. Our process is deliberately unhurried, collaborative, and transparent. Patients are invited to ask questions, explore options, and make informed decisions at every stage.
We are dedicated to caring for our patients as we would our own family. We believe that surgery is more than an operation — it is a journey that requires compassion, clear communication, and unwavering support. Every step of your recovery is deliberately structured and optimised to help you achieve the best possible surgical outcome. From thoughtful preparation before surgery to attentive follow-up and long-term monitoring, our team works closely with you to ensure your progress is safe, comfortable, and confidently guided. Your wellbeing is our priority, and we are committed to standing with you through every stage of your surgical experience.
We offer a full spectrum of plastic surgery procedures, including aesthetic surgery of the breast and body, reconstructive microsurgery, and skin cancer treatment. Whether patients are seeking functional improvement, restorative procedures, or aesthetic enhancement, The Clinic provides care that is safe, ethical, and tailored to each individual.
Our team operates only in accredited hospitals and works closely with qualified anaesthetists and allied health professionals to ensure continuity and safety throughout the surgical journey. Long-term care is a cornerstone of our philosophy — we don’t just perform surgery; we partner with our patients for the long run.
At The Clinic, we are proud to foster a culture of trust, excellence, and compassion — one patient, one journey at a time.
