Welcome to Specialist Plastic Surgeon, Dr Mark Hanikeri’s portfolio.

Dr Mark Hanikeri has over 19 years’ experience working from Subiaco as a specialist in cosmetic surgery of the body, breast and face. Whilst all medical doctors can call themselves cosmetic surgeons, the “Specialist Plastic Surgeon” title can only be used by surgeons in the recognised specialty of plastic surgery who are recognised by the Australian Society of Plastic Surgeons, such as Dr Hanikeri. He is also a fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons.

Dr Hanikeri understands that surgery is about people. The people he treats belong to a community.  They are someone’s mother; father; daughter; son; friend; they are family. Mark is very honest about his patient’s surgery enquiries and their expectations.

Updated guidelines for cosmetic surgery starting from 1 July 2023.

From 1 July 2023, the Medical Board of Australia and the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (Ahpra) will implement updated guidelines for cosmetic surgery. From 1 July 2023, the Medical Board of Australia and the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (Ahpra) will implement updated guidelines for cosmetic surgery. Cosmetic surgery is defined as procedures aimed at altering or modifying the appearance, colour, texture, structure, or position of natural bodily features, primarily with the objective of attaining a more desirable aesthetic outcome. Cosmetic surgery procedures differ from medically-necessary or reconstructive plastic surgery procedures, in that they generally do not attract any…
Breast Reduction

Reduce the physical discomfort caused by large breasts.

If you are experiencing a substantial amount of discomfort as a result of large and heavy breasts, breast reduction surgery may be a viable consideration. In a breast reduction procedure, excess breast tissue and skin are removed, resulting in smaller and firmer breasts. After removal of an appropriate amount of tissue, the remaining breast tissue is reshaped to create a smaller and more elevated breast.

Important information about breast augmentation

Breast augmentation is a procedure where you should achieve good proportion with the hips, the body’s frame. It’s not about size, it’s about appearance. It’s about looking natural.

Dr Hanikeri will talk you through the issues of implant placement (vis in front of the muscle or behind it), as well as types of implants and their respective pros and cons.

Once all that information is presented, it’s about working with you to ascertain the look you are after. And whether or not it’s something Dr Hanikeri can deliver—and which implants would be used to achieve their desired outcome based on your  starting point and frame.

What to consider when thinking about abdominoplasty (aka tummy tuck)

There are three reasons people get abdominoplasty:

  1. Pregnancy
  2. Significant weight loss
  3. Ageing

It should be noted abdominoplasty is not a weight loss solution. And Dr Hanikeri will not perform this procedure on patients over a BMI of 28/29. This is because abdominoplasty is a purely cosmetic procedure—and cannot replace or substitute bariatric surgery.

For post-pregnancy patients, it is recommended that you wait until you’ve finished having kids before undergoing this procedure. Similarly, for post-weight loss patients, it is often recommend that you sustain your new weight for a period before undergoing abdominoplasty.

2 types of upper eyelid surgery patients

One is those who have a condition called dermatochalasis where they’ve got excess upper eyelid skin that does hang down and they get rash in it and it obscures their vision and it doesn’t look very nice. So, there are functional, health and cosmetic benefits to operating on them and they’re the slam dunk ones: it’s easier to get them a rebate. It doesn’t matter what technique you use: you’ll get a nice result and a happy patient.

The second type of patient are the aesthetic patients who don’t have any visual issues, but they’re aware that their eyelids have become saggier and less aesthetic as they’ve aged and a large proportion of them will actually not need an eyelid reduction so much as an eyebrow elevation. And the reason their eyelids look heavy is not because the skin is stretched out, because the eyebrows have dropped.
