Plastic & Cosmetic

Pittwater Day Surgery boasts experienced plastic and cosmetic surgeons. Plastic surgery is defined as a surgical specialty dedicated to reconstruction of facial and body defects due to birth disorders, trauma, burns and disease. Specifically, the excision of lesions, is a common surgery performed. The following types of lesions can be removed with very little post-operative scarring by our experienced surgeons:

• BCC (basal cell carcinoma)

• SCC (squamous cell carcinoma)

• Melanoma

• Lentigo maligna and other skin lesions

• Many of these operations involve various extensive types of flap repairs.

Improving aesthetic appeal, symmetry, and proportion are the key goals within cosmetic surgery. Cosmetic surgery can be performed on all areas of the head, neck, and body. Because the treated areas function properly, cosmetic surgery is elective. Cosmetic surgery is performed by our qualified plastic surgeons.
