When considering a plastic or cosmetic surgery procedure, the most important decision you will make is your choice of surgeon. It is important to check they are a Specialist Plastic Surgeon and a member of both the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (RACS) and the Australian Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS).
A Specialist Plastic Surgeon is a Commonwealth Government accredited plastic surgeon, who has been trained and qualified in Australia to perform invasive reconstructive and cosmetic plastic surgery in both public and private hospitals, and accredited day surgeries.
Dr Rohan Page is a fully accredited member of RACS and ASPS who has been awarded the distinction of FRACS. This means he is a Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons and has completed a minimum of 12 years medical and surgical education, with at least 5 years of specialist post-graduate training. The title of Specialist Plastic Surgeon can only be used by FRACS approved specialist surgeons in the recognised specialty of plastic surgery.
Dr Rohan Page is also on the Specialists Register of Plastic Surgeons maintained by the Medical Board of Australia (MBA), supported by the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA). These are the highest levels of qualification and accreditation possible in plastic and cosmetic surgery in Australia.
It’s important to know there is a significant difference between a Specialist Plastic Surgeon and a ‘cosmetic surgeon’.
In Australia, a surgeon is understood to indicate a person who has undertaken substantial surgical training in addition to their basic medical degree. However, it is currently legal for medical graduates to call themselves a ‘cosmetic surgeon’ – an unofficial title that misleads patients and can jeopardise their health. Self-described ‘cosmetic surgeons’ may include individuals who have failed their GP exams and hold only elementary medical school degrees.
By comparison, there is not the same level of accreditation and training for doctors calling themselves ‘cosmetic surgeons’ and consequently, their training, skills and experience can vary greatly.
