NiamhCorduff About UsMs Niamh Corduff

FRACS MBBS

Clinic Director

Niamh is a Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and has been a practising plastic surgeon for over 15 years. She did her medical training in London, qualifying as a Doctor in 1984, before going on to study general surgery and then plastic surgery. She became a Consultant Plastic Surgeon in Australia in 1993. She is a member of the Australian Society of Plastic Surgeons, the Australasian Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery and International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. She is a past President of the Australasian Society of Aesthetic Plastic surgery 2008-2010

Her work at the Cosmetic Refinement Clinic comes from a plastic surgical background with a strong emphasis on safety and efficacy of treatments, and awareness and availablity of the most current therapies. Only treatments which have been fully evaluated and researched are used, which means that sometimes the ‘latest and greatest’ therapies widely espoused in the media will not be available through this clinic. Her training in Plastic Surgery means she has a high level of understanding of facial anatomy, enabling an individualised approach to injectable treatments. Niamh has a ”hands on approach” and performs many of the injectable treatments herself, as well as all the more complex precedures. No referral is needed for the services provided by her at this clinic. She also provides advice on laser therapies, including KTP,  Alexandrite, NdYAG, Pearl Fractionated and Q-switch lasers.

“My philosophy at this clinic has been to focus on quality, patient safety and an ethical approach to cosmetic skin treatments. I have a conservative approach to rejuvenation treatments believing that less is more. Our aim is to help patients look healthy and well in a balanced way, not changing their natural features.
