Plastic Surgeons are trained in a broad range of cosmetic and reconstructive procedures, and are at the forefront of surgical and non-surgical cosmetic solutions. Plastic surgery requires specific skills and knowledge of latest innovations and techniques that is beyond the training of most other non specialist doctors.
Dr Kumar is accredited by the Australian Medical Council as a specialist plastic surgeon.
The Australian Medical Council (AMC) is the only government body in Australia that can accredit specialist surgical training. Some doctors may claim to be “Cosmetic Surgeons”, which can be a misleading title as most ‘cosmetic surgeons’ do not have any specialist accreditation.
Unfortunately, due to the current regulations in Australia, even doctors with a basic medical degree can call themselves” cosmetic surgeons”. Plastic Surgeons have undertaken, on average, an additional ten to fifteen years of AMC-accredited training after receiving their basic medical degree.
Dr Kumar is a member of the Australian Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) and the Australasian Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (ASAPS). These societies require their members to adhere to a strict code of ethics and fulfil continuing education requirements that include maintenance of clinical standards and innovations in patient safety.
