What is a Specialist Plastic Surgeon?

While the terms “Cosmetic Surgeon” and “Plastic Surgeon” are sometimes used interchangeably, they refer to different qualifications. Dr Steven Liew (MED0001151298) and Dr Ania Smialkowski (MED0001668109) are Specialist Plastic Surgeons, recognised by the Medical Board of Australia and Fellows of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (FRACS). To achieve this qualification, they completed a minimum of 10 years of medical and surgical education, including at least 5 years of accredited specialist training in plastic and reconstructive surgery.

Dr. Steven Liew

Dr. Steven Liew believes that Shape is at the core of everything we do in the aesthetic world. The word Shape (形) in Cantonese translates to “cool” and reflects our philosophy of being “ahead of the curve” in the field of aesthetic treatments.

All treatments are provided following a thorough clinical assessment. Outcomes can vary between individuals due to factors such as genetics, lifestyle, and overall health. The results of cosmetic procedures are not guaranteed. Patient safety and well-being are always the primary considerations during treatment.
