Choosing to enhance your appearance with plastic surgery or cosmetic surgery is a big decision, and if you choose the right doctor and the right practice, it can be one you'll be very glad you made. Dr. Patrick Briggs is committed to providing the absolute highest standard of care for his patients, while making sure they are comfortable, at ease, and well-informed at every stage of their cosmetic procedure.

Important note when choosing your plastic cosmetic surgeon

In Australia, almost anyone with a basic medical degree is allowed to perform Cosmetic Surgery. In fact, currently there is no legislation in place that stops any doctor, even your local GP, from calling themselves a plastic cosmetic surgeon, even though they have not undergone formal surgical training.

Your decision to undergo cosmetic plastic surgery is an important one, and the selection of the right cosmetic plastic surgeon will have an enormous effect on how satisfied you are with your cosmetic surgery. Your only safeguard to ensure that you are dealing with a qualified cosmetic plastic surgeon is to look for the letters FRACS (PLAS) after a doctor’s name and check that they are affiliated with the Australian Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), as only qualified Plastic Surgeons have these titles and memberships. They reflect many years of training and exams (at least 10 years) in surgery beyond the medical school period. For more information on Dr Briggs and his practice please visit the About us page.
