A journal of aesthetic and reconstructive surgery
Cosmetic SurgeonsAn independent Australian journal of aesthetic and reconstructive surgery
Plastic and reconstructive surgery is not only aesthetic. These essays cover reconstruction after cancer or trauma, scar revision, and how public and private pathways differ.
Plastic surgery in Australia grew from trauma, burns, hands and cancer reconstruction. The old cosmetic-surgeons.com.au practice listed reconstructive work beside aesthetic operations because the same fellowship training covers both.

How Australian teams talk about BCC, SCC and melanoma on the face, the difference between flaps and grafts, Mohs collaboration, surgical margins, and why sun protection is part of the aftercare, not an optional extra.

Immediate versus delayed reconstruction, implant and autologous options described in general terms, the public multidisciplinary pathway, and why this is reconstructive medicine rather than cosmetic advertising.
