Dr Chris Moss Plastic Surgeon

Cosmetic plastic surgery must improve and rejuvenate without leaving an unnatural or operated appearance. It is vital that a surgeon fully explains their personal aesthetic aims and therefore the expected result in their hands. Personally, I believe in a classic, natural and soft beauty. Changes must often be subtle - yet never pulled, tight, artificial or imbalanced. Patients want to look better but never like a different person. This can only be achieved when the surgeon truly takes the time and effort to understand each individual patient and their requirements. Sound surgical judgement, meticulous surgery and state of the art techniques are vital for the best possible result. Consultations, explanations and closely supervised aftercare must be performed by the surgeon. Professional Training Dr Moss commenced his medical training at University of Melbourne Medical School in 1981, graduating with honours in 1987. His residency and General Surgery training was completed at the Royal Melbourne Hospital and The Alfred Hospital. Following this he completed Accredited Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Training in Melbourne. After successfully completing 10 years of training in surgery he was awarded his surgical qualifications (FRACS) in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. Dr Moss held Senior Tutor positions in the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Melbourne and at the Stanford University of California, USA. He received a Diploma in Human Anatomy in 1990 and later conducted twelve months of anatomical research into the safe surgical correction of facial ageing. Following his Plastic Surgery training, Dr Moss completed a Travelling Fellowship in the USA to gain experience in the latest cosmetic surgery techniques. He was based at the Manhattan Eye, Ear and Throat Hospital in New York and also received further training in Los Angeles and Miami, gaining special expertise in cosmetic plastic surgery of the nose, face and breasts.
