Important note when choosing your surgeon
In Australia, almost anyone with a basic medical degree is able 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 surgeon, even though they have not undergone formal surgical training.
Your only safeguard 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.
