    Dr Vlad Illie is a specialist plastic and reconstructive surgeon based in Sydney with extensive experience in aesthetic and reconstructive surgery. He is a Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (RACS), the Australian Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), and the Australian Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (ASAPS), reflecting completion of the accredited specialist training pathway in plastic and reconstructive surgery.

    All surgical and medical treatments involve inherent risks, and individual outcomes can vary; no specific result can be guaranteed. Seeking a second opinion from another suitably qualified specialist is recommended before proceeding with surgery. Risks are carefully managed, and if revision surgery or complications arise (approximately 1–5%), these can be assessed and managed by Dr Illie and his team. Outcomes and management plans are individualised to each patient.​

    The before-and-after photographs in the gallery show patients treated by Dr Vlad Illie and his team. Any other images on the website are stock images unless clearly stated otherwise, and all images are provided as a general guide only.

    Book a consultation to discuss your goals, assess your suitability for a procedure or treatment, and obtain personalised advice.
