Dr Beryl Tan
Dr Beryl Tan is a Melbourne and New Zealand-trained Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon that has extensive international training in various aspects of aesthetic and reconstructive plastic surgery, and an interest in body contouring and lipoedema surgery.
Beryl performs lipoedema surgery with liposuction as well as excisional / contouring surgery.
As a specialist Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon, Beryl understands that paying attention to the needs of her patients with care and empathy is her first priority. Through a lens of compassion, she considers and proposes which procedure would be best suited and serve the needs of each patient. However, not everyone will be a candidate for surgery. This may be due to other health factors, or an individual may not be in the right state, mentally or emotionally.
When a patient is thinking about undergoing plastic surgery, it is essential that they are well informed and carefully consider all associated risks and complications before arriving at a decision. Further to this, and prior to pursuing any procedure, it is imperative that Beryl and her patients reach a mutual understanding of the desired goal and form a partnership in order to optimise the healing process and ensure the best outcome.
Beryl has had more than 10 years experience in various areas of Reconstructive and Cosmetic Surgery including:
- Breast augmentation and reduction
- Post cancer breast reconstruction
- Facial aesthetic procedures including facelift and eyelid reduction
- Body contouring procedures such as liposuction and abdominoplasty (tummy tuck)
