Our team of experienced plastic surgeons offers a wide array of surgical procedures to address various aesthetic and reconstructive needs, helping individuals achieve their desired goals with precision and expertise.

Skin Cancer Removal Reconstruction

For many Australians, skin cancer and the risk of skin cancer are all too familiar subjects. Australia may be renowned for its sun-kissed complexions and love of the outdoors but the majority of the population have not been born with skin types designed to cope with the effects of the sun.

Removal of Non-Cancerous Spot

Non-cancerous spots generally present themselves as moles or blemishes on the skin. Babies are highly unlikely to be born with moles as they appear during childhood and the early teenage years. The more moles a person has equates to a greater risk for the occurrence of melanoma.

Microsurgery

The microsurgical procedures performed at the Melbourne Institute of Plastic Surgery include the transfer of abdominal tissue for breast reconstruction after mastectomy, the transfer of tissue to cover large wounds resulting from major trauma, and the re-attachment of severed body parts such as fingers, thumbs, limbs, and ears.

Types of Skin Cancer

The most common cancer in Australia is skin cancer. Australia holds the unwanted title of one of the highest rates of skin cancer prevalence in the world. There are three main types of skin cancer: basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and melanoma. Surgical intervention is generally required combined with ongoing skin checks and monitoring.
