Services
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation enhances breast size and shape through implants or fat transfer. Ideal for patients seeking improved proportions, this procedure addresses asymmetry or volume loss. Our surgeons use advanced techniques to ensure natural-looking results with minimal scarring, prioritising patient safety and satisfaction through comprehensive pre-operative planning and post-operative care.
Facelift
Facelift surgery reduces visible signs of aging by tightening facial skin and muscles. Suitable for addressing sagging jowls, deep creases, and neck laxity, our approach combines traditional and minimally invasive methods. Patients receive customised treatment plans to achieve refreshed appearances while maintaining natural facial expressions and long-lasting outcomes.
Liposuction
Liposuction removes stubborn fat deposits to improve body contours. Effective for areas like the abdomen, thighs, and arms, this procedure uses advanced suction techniques to sculpt targeted regions. We focus on realistic expectations, ensuring patients understand the importance of maintaining stable weight post-treatment for enduring results.
Eyelid Surgery
Eyelid surgery rejuvenates tired-looking eyes by removing excess skin and fat. Addressing both upper and lower lids, this procedure enhances vision obstruction and aesthetic appeal. Our surgeons prioritise subtle, natural enhancements while ensuring functional improvements and minimal recovery periods for patients.
CoolSculpting
CoolSculpting non-invasively reduces fat through controlled cooling technology. Targeting areas like the abdomen and thighs, this treatment destroys fat cells without surgery. We provide personalised sessions with visible results appearing over months, complemented by lifestyle guidance to maintain achieved contours.

From the initial consultation to the last Dr Layt made the whole experience stress free, Dr Layts knowledge in his field made me feel extremely comfortable choosing him as my surgeon. I had PIP implants for over 12 yrs and I either needed a replace or just a removal, I met with Dr Layt to run through my options and I decided to go with the removal and fat grafting, with this decision Layt wanted to ensure I wasn't going in with high expectations of having the same volume and shape as an implant, he is a realist and explained that he will do his absolute best to produce amazing looking breasts but

I can honestly say I was in two minds is to what I want to get done and if I could trust someone to do it. I went to three other surgerys in the Gold Coast! I am telling you know Craig was the best! Nothing was an issue. He was amazing and his staff are just as good! The whole way through I felt at ease and I can tell you know my result were 5,000 times better than I ever expected! I was literally back at work within three days which I explained I need to be and he made it work! So I cant thank you enough to everyone at the Layt clinic! The greatest customer service from the front desk right

In fifteen years of using my TPI DVA Gold Card for health treatment matters this without doubt (including for prior plastic surgery) the worst experience I have had myself or seen. Let me explain the facts of the experience.
Rang Dr Craig Layt office with a GP referral told DVA Gold card accepted, but needed to wait some nine weeks. Booking made. After eight weeks called by a Dr Layt Clinic staff member and informed appointment cannot continue unless on private basis and only cash paid . Reason Dr Layt did not believe Government paid enough (so much for supporting Veterans), this was told to

I attended the Layt clinic to have my skin refreshed and feel more confident without wearing makeup. I had my first consultation with Kate, she was really honest and broke down what the best procedure would be to get the best result in the short two month time frame I had. Not only that, she is so caring, listens to your needs and is truly such a beautiful soul inside and out. It made it a wonderful experience from start to finish. The end results which had to be within the two month time frame have been exactly what I wanted and I couldnt be happier.

Had my breast augmentation done by Dr Layt last week, amazing job I am so happy! I felt so welcomed and comfortable as soon as I walked into the clinic. The whole process from my first consultation was so comforting. Thank you Dr Layt for helping me get my confidence up! I would never go anywhere else, I highly recommend Dr Layt & I can't wait for my next treatment or surgery!
