Have you ever wondered what the difference between a plastic surgeon and a cosmetic surgeon is?

The main difference comes down to their training, qualifications, and regulation. A plastic surgeon must complete both a medical and surgical education, including a minimum of 5 years of specialist surgical training through the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (RACS). They earn the title FRACS (Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons), and their training covers both reconstructive and cosmetic procedures. The title “Specialist Plastic Surgeon” is legally protected and can only be used by doctors accredited by RACS and recognised by the Australian Medical Council (AMC).

In contrast, the title “cosmetic surgeon” is not protected in Australia, meaning any doctor with a basic medical degree can use it, even without formal surgical training. Training and experience among cosmetic surgeons vary significantly, and they are not recognised as surgical specialists by RACS or the AMC.

In short, all specialist plastic surgeons are qualified to perform cosmetic surgery, but not all cosmetic surgeons are qualified plastic surgeons.

Choosing a surgeon is an incredibly important decision and we'd recommend getting an understanding of the surgeon's training and education, experience and reputation and meeting them before you make your decision.

Some moments in life stay with us forever. There’s a belief that the divine places us in the right place at the right time and the night I met Joel Paikea is one of those moments.

Driving home from a late-night surgery, I came across a horrific motorcycle accident just off the motorway, a lonely stretch of road where the darkness felt especially heavy.

As the first responder, I did everything I could to help Joel stay with us until emergency crews arrived. With a ruptured aorta, multiple fractures, and severe internal injuries, those early minutes were crucial in giving him the chance to reach advanced care.

Remarkably, someone recorded and posted a video of the aftermath. After police told the family that a surgeon had been the first responder, Joel’s mother used facial recognition to find me.

Timing brought me to Joel that night; his courage carried him the rest of the way. After a month-long coma, three months in hospital, multiple surgeries, and intense rehabilitation, Joel visited my rooms yesterday with his family.

Meeting this incredible young man again, awake, healing, smiling, was profoundly humbling. His resilience, and the unwavering love of his family and friends, helped him overcome what many thought insurmountable.

Standing beside him today, I’m reminded that resilience has its own quiet strength, and grace finds us in the most unexpected places.

Thank you to this loving family for allowing me to share this moment. I’m grateful that a night that once felt heartbreaking now has a beautiful and hopeful conclusion.

Joel, it’s an honour that our paths crossed. Wishing you a safe, strong, extraordinary future ahead.

A neck lift, or platysmaplasty, is a surgical procedure that may address loose skin, excess fat, and visible muscle banding in the neck area. The procedure is intended to improve neck and jawline definition by tightening underlying muscles and removing or repositioning excess skin and fat.

Neck lift surgery is typically performed under general anaesthesia, and recovery time can vary depending on the extent of the procedure. Swelling and bruising are common in the initial stages, with results becoming more noticeable as healing progresses.

As with any surgical procedure, there are potential risks and complications. It’s important to have a consultation with a qualified surgeon to determine if this procedure is suitable for you. Individual results vary.

To determine if a neck lift is suitable for you, please contact our practice at (07) 5539 4611 to arrange a consultation with our surgical team. For comprehensive risk and recovery information, visit https://advancedaesthetics.com.au/procedures/neck-lift/
