Sydney
A doctor led capital of cosmetic medicine. Sydney is known for clinics that put physicians at the centre and favour a natural, considered result. Here are the established names we rate and the city worth knowing.
Physician first, naturally
Sydney's leading clinics built their reputations on medical oversight and an unshowy house style. Several are doctor only practices with heritage going back two decades or more. Australian regulation of cosmetic injectables has tightened in recent years, so look for clinics with proper medical governance, a genuine consultation, and practitioners who are candid about what suits you and what does not.
