Making a difference Dr Ian Chinsee is a cosmetic surgeon and has been part of the Cosmedic team since January 2014 when he started his fellowship with Dr John Flynn, then continued on as a cosmetic surgeon Tell us about your background? I’m originally from Los Angeles, where I received a bachelor’s degree in Psychobiology. Following that, I studied medicine at the University of Queensland and undertook my basic surgical training through the QLD Health public system (focusing specifically on general surgery and plastic and reconstructive surgery). I then went on to complete a cosmetic surgical fellowship with the Australasian College of Cosmetic Surgery (ACCS). What area do you specialise in?

I love treating the face as well, especially with blepharoplasty (surgery for drooping eyelids) and cosmetic injectables - a real difference can be made with dermal fillers and anti-wrinkle treatments. A new area that I have been very involved in is regenerative medicine – such as Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP - the vampire facelift) and stem-cell therapies for musculoskeletal, as well as aesthetic treatments. How do you help people? At the end of the day, this specialty is about helping to increase people’s self-esteem through their appearance. I think sometimes cosmetic surgery gets a bad rap because there is the impression that it’s all about looking good, and while it is very much focussed on that, it’s only one aspect.

I also enjoy the technical aspects of the surgery, working with my hands and seeing how a person’s mood and outlook on life can improve with these procedures.
