Why choose a plastic surgeon?

Under Australian law, any medical doctor can perform cosmetic surgery even a family GP.

Dr Edinburg is a specially trained expert and is accredited in Cosmetic & Plastic Surgery by the Royal Australian College of Surgeons, which is the only statutory recognized body for training of specialist plastic surgeons in Australia.

Dr Edinburg has completed a full fellowship of the College in the Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (FRACS – Plastic Surgery).

The specialist training involves the following requirements:

• - Five years undergraduate medical training
• - Two years postgraduate surgical training
• - Five years plastic surgery training, including reconstructive and cosmetic surgery

Most plastic surgeons then spend further years studying a specialised area and fine-tuning their skills. For example, Dr Edinburg has completed further specialist training at Canniesburn Hospital in Glasgow, Scotland, a prestigious referral base in Plastic Surgery.

Specialist Plastic Surgeons also need to keep up with postgraduate learning and fulfil numerous guidelines to keep them up-to-date and report to a standards body, which Dr Edinburg abides by.

Your health and surgical results are of paramount importance for Dr Edinburg. His expertise and care set him apart. Always thoroughly research the credentials of your surgeon.
