Patient-centred care is my priority.
Dr Beryl Tan is a female plastic and reconstructive surgeon based in Melbourne, Australia.
Dr Beryl Tan has helped many people improve their daily lives with aesthetic enhancements that often also bring functional improvement to their quality of life. However, her professional approach to all procedures encompasses much more than just the exterior.
Dr Tan’s focus is placed on a positive body image, be it with or without surgery. She achieves this by paying attention to patient needs with care and empathy. Through a lens of compassion and with a holistic approach, your overall wellness journey is considered to ensure that the proposed procedure will help achieve your goals.
With this in mind, it is important to consider that not everyone is a suitable candidate for surgery due to health factors or mental and emotional state.

Dr Tan ensures that all patients are well informed, including all associated risks, with plenty of time to consider the procedure before deciding.

Losing a lot of weight is often the beginning of a long journey of lifestyle modifications to help maintain the weight loss. On top of that, they have to deal with excess overhanging skin at the abdomen, arms and thighs. Many also benefit from breast lift with or without augmentation. Beware that preoperative preparation and after surgery care are both very important as the risk of complications can be as high as 30%! Find out more. - Labiaplasty

The breasts
- Breast Reduction
Reduction in breast volume and weight can rectify a sore back, neck and shoulders as the result of large breasts. The surgery also involves breast lift and reshaping. - Breast Augmentation

Those with tuberous breasts or breast hypoplasia can also benefit from having better symmetry of both breasts, achieving a sense of normalcy. - Gynaecomastia
