Description

The Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery Clinic in Bracken Ave was opened by John de Geus in 1985 and run until his retirement in 2010. Ashwin Chunilal joined the practice in 2005. Jonathan Heather joined in 2013.
 
The practice continues to run in the same format with consultations and local anaesthetic procedures performed at the rooms and general anaesthetic cases being done at authorised hospitals.
The clinic is managed by Mandy Pye who has worked at the rooms since its beginning.
Debbie Bottema is a registered nurse and has been working at the rooms for over 10 years providing an excellent service for the non surgical treatments with Botox and various fillers.
 
 
 
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.
