Understanding the Procedures I Offer, and Why They Matter
By Dr Ania Smialkowski | June 2025
When considering plastic surgery, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the options. My goal as a Specialist Plastic Surgeon is to make the process as informed, transparent, and supportive as possible, starting with helping you understand what procedures I offer, and how they may (or may not) align with your personal goals.
I focus on surgeries and non-surgical treatments that address the breast and body, because I believe these areas deserve both technical precision and a deep respect for the individual. Every body is different, and every patient has their own story, which is why I take a holistic, tailored approach.
Here’s a quick overview:
Breast Procedures
I offer a full range of breast surgeries, including reductions, lifts, augmentation (with or without fat transfer), implant removal, and male breast reduction. These surgeries can help address both physical discomfort and aesthetic concerns, but the decision is always grounded in your health, goals, and informed consent.
Body Procedures
Body contouring procedures can include liposuction, abdominoplasty, body lifts, and more. I also offer advanced techniques like VASER and skin-tightening technologies such as Ignite RF or Renuvion. These procedures are not for weight loss, rather, they’re designed to help reshape or refine areas of the body after significant changes like pregnancy or weight loss.
Combination Surgeries
In some cases, patients are suitable for combination surgeries, for example, a breast procedure with abdominoplasty, to support more efficient recovery. This is always assessed on a case-by-case basis with safety as the top priority.
Non-Surgical Treatments
For patients who are not ready (or not suitable) for surgery, I offer a small selection of non-surgical skin-tightening treatments. These can be a good option for subtle improvements or maintenance, and we can discuss this as part of your consultation.
Whether you’re just starting to explore your options or you’re further along in your decision-making process, I’m here to help guide you with evidence-based care and a strong focus on safety.

What I want You to Know
By Dr Ania Smialkowski | May 2025
When it comes to plastic surgery, whether surgical or non-surgical, there’s a lot of information out there, and not all of it is easy to navigate. That’s why I wanted to take a moment, as I officially launch this new digital space, to introduce myself and give you a clear idea of how I work, what I offer, and most importantly, what matters to me as a practitioner.
I’m Dr Ania Smialkowski, a Specialist Plastic Surgeon with a focus on breast and body contouring, including procedures like abdominoplasty, liposuction, and non-surgical skin tightening. My goal is simple: to help you feel informed, empowered, and confident in whatever decisions you choose to make for your body and your health.
I don’t believe in “perfect.” I believe in clarity, care, and evidence-based results that reflect your goals and reality.
I’ve completed over 12 years of medical and surgical education, including five years of rigorous specialist training in plastic and reconstructive surgery. I’m registered with AHPRA (MED0001068109) and a Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (FRACS). These details matter, not to boast, but to help you understand the level of care, safety, and accountability you can expect.
In this blog, I’ll be sharing educational content around procedures, frequently asked questions, behind-the-scenes insights, and the occasional personal moment too, because being human matters just as much as being qualified.
Thank you for being here - I’m so excited to build this space with you.
