Plastic and reconstructive surgery

Statewide access to clinical and cosmetic procedures

Our team of experienced surgeons and nurses will work with you to understand your needs and ensure the best possible care. Mater's range of plastic and reconstructive specialties include:

  • Breast surgery
  • Breast reconstruction
  • Congenital deformities
  • Craniofacial surgery
  • Skin cancer and melanoma
  • Cleft lip and palate
  • Microtia ear reconstruction
  • Facial nerve reconstruction
  • Hand and wrist reconstruction
  • Aesthetic surgery.

Mater specialists are able to support patients with all breast surgeries from the treatment or prevention of breast cancer to aesthetic improvements.

Presenting as either structural or functional anomalies, some can cause physical disability, intellectual or developmental disorders, or other health problems if not treated.

Defects treated by craniofacial surgeons can include craniosynostosis, craniofacial clefts, acute and chronic sequelae of facial fractures, and more.

Melanoma that are found early can generally be treated with surgery (localised melanoma). Mater's clinicians and specialists will work closely with you throughout diagnosis and treatment to ensure you are a key part of your healthcare journey.

Undertaken to correct or prevent a range of functional or cosmetic issues affecting the hand, wrist or forearm, this specialised branch of reconstructive procedure aims to restore functionality, mobility and aesthetics.

Aesthetic or cosmetic surgery includes abdominoplasties, breast augmentation, eyelid surgery and rhinoplasty. This may form a part of other reconstructive surgeries - your specialist will discuss outcomes with you prior to your procedure.

Celebrating half a century of craniofacial expertise

In 1975, Mater surgeons performed their first craniofacial surgery on a four-year-old boy - and 50 years later, Mater in partnership with Queensland Children's Hospital now perform an average of 40 complex craniofacial procedures each year.
