Devoted to Providing Natural-Looking Results
Plastic surgery aims to restore the normal appearance and function by reshaping the structures of our body. Issues addressed by plastic surgery are commonly congenital, or due to cancer or trauma. Others may be due to pregnancy or significant weight changes. The decision to have plastic surgery is extremely personal and it should be done only for you, and not for someone else. Dr Sally believes in providing results that can improve one’s self esteem with little evidence of surgical intervention. Patients with a positive outlook and realistic expectations are the best candidates for surgery, and Dr Sally will be with you every step of the way to maintain these elements.
During the consultation, Dr Sally will take her time to listen to your concerns and assess your surgical needs. She will provide you with your best treatment options based on her professional knowledge and experience, whilst balancing and discussing the benefits and potential risks of each option. Plastic surgery involves many choices and it is important to understand that each treatment recommendation is highly individualised to your particular situation. Dr Sally believes in building a trusting partnership with each of her patients so that there is shared decision making on each step of your surgical journey.
Patient safety and high quality care are key priorities in our practice. Dr Sally and her team will ensure you receive ongoing scheduled care to achieve the best outcome from your procedure.

Breast Reduction
Breast reduction surgery, also known as a reduction mammoplasty, aims to resolve issues associated with overly large or disproportionate natural breasts.
Many women go through life with naturally large breasts and, unfortunately, often experience excruciating physical discomfort from the weight of their breasts. This can include neck pain and back pain, as well as the inability to perform day to day activities or exercise.
Undergoing breast reduction surgery with Dr Sally Ng can help to create an aesthetically pleasing breast that is in proportion with your body, and thereby improve the physical and emotional problems associated with an overly large breast.
Abdominoplasty
Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, is a body contouring surgery typically performed on patients that have previously undergone massive weight loss and found themselves with excess, loose skin, or for mothers who have recently gone through pregnancy and have finished having children, and now require restoration of weakened or separated belly wall muscle. The desired result from this procedure is to try and achieve a smoother and firmer abdominal profile.
Abdominoplasty is a highly individualised procedure and it can be aesthetic or reconstructive in nature. For the majority of patients, the surgery is primarily performed to remove sagging skin and excess fat from the middle and lower third abdomen and repair any separated muscle post pregnancy and weight loss. For others, it may be a reconstructive procedure to improve the function of the abdominal muscle or repair an abdominal hernia after previous abdominal surgery. Finally, some patients present with a large apron of fat known as pannus which causes chronic dermatitis and skin infection and difficulties with hygiene, and they can benefit from the surgical removal of this pannus.
During your consultation with Dr Sally, Dr Sally will assess your condition and plan the best suited approach for you to achieve a firmer and better shaped abdomen.
Skin Cancer Surgery
Australia has one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world. At least 2 in 3 Australians develop some form of skin cancer before they reach the age of 70. The main cause is exposure to ultraviolet radiation from the sun or artificial sources such as solariums. Other factors that can increase your risk of developing skin cancer include skin type, having many moles and freckles (particularly atypically shaped moles), and having a personal or family history of skin cancer.
Despite its high incidence, skin cancer is one of the most preventable and curable cancers. The majority of skin cancers can be successfully treated, if found early. Skin cancer, much like any form of cancer, often requires surgery to remove the cancerous growth. The resulting defect can then be reconstructed with skin graft or local tissues.
During your consultation with Dr Sally Ng, she will discuss the various treatment options with you to treat the skin cancer, and then reconstruct the appearance to give you the optimal aesthetic result.
