Private Service

New Zealand Institute of Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery

Description

The New Zealand Institute of Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery is the largest private plastic and cosmetic surgical practice in the country.

Our surgeons and nurses are highly trained and experienced and are committed to providing you with a high quality service in a safe and supportive environment.

Many of the procedures are performed in the day surgery and recovery unit, 243 Surgical Centre, on the ground floor of the Institute.

 

What is Plastic Surgery?
Plastic surgery covers a wide range of different surgical procedures that repair, reconstruct or replace structures in many different parts of the body including the skin, face and head, hands, breast and stomach. Plastic surgery does not involve the use of plastic materials.

Plastic surgery can generally be divided into two main types:
 
  • Reconstructive surgery: is performed on parts of the body that are abnormal or have been affected by a birth defect, accident or disease. This includes cleft lip and palate repair, scar revision or reconstruction (including skin grafts) following burns. Surgery is usually performed to improve function, but may also be performed to bring the appearance of a part of the body as close as possible to normal.
 
  • Aesthetic or cosmetic surgery: improves appearance or body image by reshaping features of the face or body e.g. breast enlargement, face lift, liposuction.

Referral Expectations

You will have an initial consultation with your plastic surgeon who will assess your general health and discuss the best type of surgical procedure for you. You will be given instructions on medications to avoid before surgery.

As they will discuss with you, if your treatment requires surgery Mr Bartlett and Mr Januszkiewicz usually work with Anaesthesia Auckland Ltd. In particular, each surgeon usually works with the following anaesthetists:

Mr Bartlett
Dr Ruth Wall
Dr Gerry Willemsen

Mr Januszkiewicz
