Services
Facelift Surgery
Facelift surgery addresses visible signs of aging in the face and neck. Our FRACS-certified surgeons perform precise tissue repositioning and skin tightening to restore youthful contours. Patients benefit from natural-looking results that respect individual facial anatomy while addressing concerns like jowling and neck laxity. The procedure typically requires general anaesthesia with outpatient recovery.
Rhinoplasty
Nose surgery reshapes the nasal structure to improve appearance and/or function. Our specialists address concerns like dorsal humps, tip definition, and breathing difficulties through tailored approaches. The procedure combines aesthetic goals with structural integrity, using both open and closed techniques depending on complexity.
Breast Reconstruction
Specialist breast reconstruction restores natural appearance after cancer treatment. Our surgeons employ advanced techniques including tissue expansion, implant placement, and autologous tissue transfer. The process often involves multiple stages coordinated with oncology teams to ensure optimal functional and aesthetic outcomes.
Microsurgery
Microsurgical techniques enable complex tissue transfer and nerve repair under magnification. This specialty addresses post-cancer defects, traumatic injuries, and nerve compression syndromes. Our surgeons reconstruct functional anatomy with minimal scarring, often using vascularised tissue grafts for optimal integration.
Skin Cancer Surgery
Specialist excision of skin malignancies including melanoma and non-melanoma cancers. Our approach combines complete tumour removal with immediate reconstructive planning. We employ sentinel lymph node biopsy and advanced closure techniques to ensure oncological safety while preserving aesthetic outcomes.

Report
Apparently they don't take new patients for Dr Mutimer even though the website is all about him! The only consulting days for the other surgeons fall on days I work. I feel like if your going to shell out 22k for surgery then they kind of need to workaround you a bit. Poor service when you advertise but can't deliver an appointment.

Report
I was referred to Dr Mutimer in 2013 to remove a lump that had slowly been growing right in the middle of my forehead. Given the position of the lump I had concerns about scarring and asked around to find out who was the best Melbourne plastic surgeon to see. Dr Mutimer's name kept coming up. Was really happy with the outcome - once the incision healed there was no visible scar. I found Dr Mutimer very approachable and he made me feel comfortable with what my procedure involved and expected outcomes. The staff at Brighton Plastic Surgery were great as well.
