Cosmetic Surgery Expert Second Opinion

Mr Patrick Tansley MD FRCS (Plast) and Dr Sugitha Seneviratne FRACS (Plast) provide patients seeking to address difficult cosmetic plastic surgery problems and revisions for already ‘botched’ surgery, an experience similar to that of the popular television series.

Routinely undertaking combined consulting and operating sessions, many grateful patients have commented that by combining their skills, the surgeons in effect represent the British and Australian equivalents of the show.

Having practised together for over a decade, they have established a tried and tested process to create aesthetic outcomes and correct deformities. Critical to their work is the support of their dedicated staff in caring for patients both physically and emotionally.

With a special interest in difficult cosmetic plastic surgery cases, the specialist surgeons undertake meticulous consultations, examination and surgical planning. It is frequent to hear patients comment about not having previously experienced such thorough and informative consultation.

The seamless process typically starts with a combined consultation with both surgeons and aims for an aesthetic outcome for which patients are usually very grateful. Patient expectations are managed with openness, transparency and in a realistic manner.

Preparation for surgery is supported by their team of experienced clinical staff and dedicated administrative Surgery Co-ordinators. A hugely experienced Clinical Social Worker provides pre-operative psychological assessment and post-operative support. Experienced cosmetic plastic surgery nurses undertake vital preoperative preparation to minimise clinical risks, assist during surgery and care postoperatively to facilitate uneventful recovery. Experienced Dermal Therapists of NorthEast MediClinics also attend to preoperative assessment and post operative scar minimisation management.
