At The Layt Clinic we offer LED Light Therapy to our post-surgical patients.

This therapy can help to promote your body’s natural cellular recovery and assist with pain relief by targeting deep into the skin cells to heighten their internal function and aid in stimulating dermal blood flow which in turn, induces faster healing and the reduction of any pain.

Ask your Patient Coordinator if LED Light Therapy can be added to your post-operative care plan.

Discover a Breast Augmentation Option with no Scarring on the breast tissue.

Dr Craig Layt is now offering the Endoscopic Axillary Breast Augmentation technique at The Layt Clinic. This method uses an incision in the armpit rather than the breast, which may suit patients concerned about visible scarring.

Contact us today on (07) 5597 4100, to arrange a confidential consultation and find out if this technique is right for you.

Before Instagram stories and viral trends, Dr Craig Layt was making front-page headlines and best-dressed lists!

- 2005: Featured on the front page of the Solomon Star performing surgery in the Solomon Islands, helping patients with burns and complex skin conditions alongside local medical staff.

- 2008: Named “Best Dressed Gentleman” at Magic Millions and spotlighted in the Gold Coast Bulletin for his sharp sense of style and eye for detail (in and out of the clinic).

A little trip down memory lane to celebrate the passion, purpose and personality behind The Layt Clinic.

Meet Bree!

Bree has only been part of The Layt Clinic team for a few months, but we’re already so grateful for everything she brings to the clinic. As one of our registered nurses, she’s dedicated, compassionate, and always puts our patients first, it’s no wonder they love her!

Before work, Bree can be found enjoying the sunrise at the beach!

What is the recovery like for Otoplasty?

Your bandages will stay in place for 10 days and will be gently removed by one of our nurses at your post-op check-up. We recommend wearing a headband at night for a month and avoiding contact sports while your ears heal.
