About Us

Established in 1997
Melbourne Institute of Plastic Surgery is a modern facility that combines plastic surgery with ancillary disciplines in an effort to increase service to our patients.

We have been successful in this effort thanks to our dedicated team of plastic surgeons, plastic surgery-trained nursing staff, and other support staff who are committed to providing patients with the best possible care. Confidentiality is of course paramount at our Institute.

Our dedicated breast surgical arm of our clinic, specialising in all breast related procedures including Breast Augmentation, Breast Reduction, Breast Lift, Implant Exchange and Removal and Breast Reconstruction.
