Pittwater Day Surgery hosts experienced specialist Plastic Surgeons qualified to perform a range of plastic, reconstructive and cosmetic procedures. Plastic surgery is a surgical specialty focused on the reconstruction, restoration, or alteration of facial and body structures affected by congenital conditions, trauma, burns, or disease.
Common procedures performed at the day surgery include removal of foreign bodies, eyelid
surgery, and excision of skin lesions such as squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), basal cell
carcinoma (BCC), and melanoma.
Pittwater Day Surgery is licensed to perform cosmetic procedures in accordance with the Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care Cosmetic Surgery Standards.
All procedures are performed by registered specialist surgeons who hold appropriate qualifications, credentials, and scope of clinical practice.
Cosmetic surgery procedures aim to alter or improve physical features for aesthetic reasons. These procedures are elective and undertaken only after a comprehensive consultation, including medical assessment, discussion of risks and alternatives, an informed consent process, and a cooling-off period as required by national standards.
We provide the following procedures suitable for a day surgery setting:
-
Breast augmentation / Mastopexy

Mini facelift

Most procedures are performed under general anaesthetic, although some may be performed under local anaesthetic with or without sedation depending on clinical assessment.
Patients receive comprehensive pre- and post-operative care information, including details of prescribed medications and contact information for follow-up care.
