Curious about chin augmentation and what to expect?

Chin augmentation is generally well-tolerated, with many patients describing the experience as manageable rather than painful. Discomfort generally starts to ease within the first few days. Most patients are off any prescription pain meds by 1 week after the surgery.

Why consider a rhinoplasty?

People come along for rhinoplasty for different reasons. Sometimes concerned about how their nose looks and that might have been because they have had an injury in the past, or it might just be that they were born that way. Others come because they don’t breathe well, and others still may have a combination of both.

Rhinoplasty addresses two things: cosmesis (the look of your nose) as well as function (how well you breathe).

It is important that these things are considered together. If you have problems with both, then we can make them both better. If you have a cosmetic concern only, we can’t compromise your breathing and vice versa.

The Practice

As a specialist plastic surgeon, my practice comprises both reconstructive and cosmetic surgery utilising contemporary techniques. I am passionate about aesthetic and reconstructive facial surgery and undertook further subspecialist training in this field. I also derive great satisfaction from assisting patients achieve the best version of themselves and offer a highly qualified service in breast and body surgery. My team of support staff and nurses help me provide a wholistic, professional service where realistic outcomes are achieved with care and compassion.

I also hold specialist consultant plastic surgery positions at The Alfred and St Vincent’s Hospitals in Melbourne. I am also an active volunteer with Interplast, a not-for-profit whose mission is to ‘repair bodies and rebuild lives’ by providing surgical services to patients as well as mentorship and teaching to local surgeons in areas of the Asia Pacific.
