About Aesthetica Image CentreGuided by Your Goals. Informed by Our Experience.
Before committing to any procedure, it's essential to learn as much as you can about us. Your journey with Aesthetica begins with a complimentary consultation, where our experienced surgeons, doctors and clinicians guide you every step of the way.
Your Journey With Aesthetica
At Aesthetica, we pride ourselves on providing exceptional care and ensuring your privacy. Our approach is warm and welcoming, treating you with the respect and friendliness you'd expect from a close friend or family member.

With over 20 years of experience, Aesthetica has been delivering surgical and non-surgical solutions throughout Melbourne. Our fully trained practitioners perform medical cosmetic procedures, always offering honest guidance on the best options available — and if your concerns require specialist expertise outside our own, we'll refer you to a professional with the relevant experience.

We understand the value of self-confidence, and we're committed to helping it flourish throughout your journey with us.

Selecting Your Practitioner
When choosing a medical cosmetic doctor or plastic surgeon, it's vital to consider their education, training, experience and proven competence in the specific procedure you're considering.
Don't hesitate to ask tough questions to make an informed decision.
We'd encourage you to ask any provider you're considering — including us — about their qualifications, training pathway, and whether your procedure would be performed in a registered hospital or day surgery facility.
Getting to Know You
At Aesthetica, we take the time to get to know you so we can provide honest advice and options tailored to your concerns. We conduct thorough medical history assessments and, where necessary, arrange further tests to support your wellbeing and suitability for treatment and recovery.
Every body and every skin is unique. We work closely with you to understand your concerns, ensuring your treatment plan is designed specifically for you — not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Upholding the Highest Standards
Cosmetic surgery has become increasingly popular in Australia in recent years. To maintain the highest standards in medicine and support your safety, we require a GP referral prior to a cosmetic surgery consultation.
This ensures you receive proper medical guidance and evaluation before considering any procedure.
Empowering Your Decision-Making
We understand that researching and gathering information is a crucial part of your decision-making process. We encourage you to make use of independent resources, including:
- The Australian Society of Plastic Surgeons
- The Australasian College of Cosmetic Surgery
- The Medical Board of Australia (AHPRA)
These independent sources provide valuable insight into current guidelines and best practice in cosmetic surgery.
Navigating the Complexities
We've put together a comprehensive guide to help you navigate the complexities of cosmetic surgery and non-surgical options, answering many of the challenging questions you may encounter during consultations.
We believe knowledge empowers confident decisions.
