Surgeon Profiles
Dr SAROJINI NAIR
Dr Sarojini Nair is a widely recognised female surgeon specialising in cosmetic surgery. After her general practice stint and managing a busy medical centre for five years as its Medical Director, she turned her focus to cosmetic medicine. Dr Nair has been recognised by The “College of Cosmetic Surgery” as the first woman surgeon to do Liposuction in Australia.
Since 1992, Dr Nair has undertaken rigorous training in many aspects of cosmetic medicine, much of which has been under the supervision of eminent overseas experts including Dr Jeffrey Klein, the American surgeon who pioneered tumescent liposculpture.
In 1993, Dr Nair became a member of the International Academy of Phlebology in Paris, and, in 1997, a member of the American Society of Liposuction Surgery. With 13 years experience in the field of liposculpture, Dr Nair is one of Sydney’s leading female liposculpture surgeons, having performed thousands of procedures for both men and women.
Dr Nair is a member of The Australasian College of Cosmetic Surgery (ACCS) and has assisted and contributed in workshops held recently at the practice. Enthusiastic about many of the diverse aspects of the industry, she makes sure to keep herself informed about all the latest developments in liposculpture around the world and has actively participated in numerous workshops and conferences in the US and Europe.
Renowned for the “hands-on” approach she takes, Dr Nair is also well known for a variety of other cosmetic treatments such as dermal fillers, injectables for frown lines and wrinkles, face and leg vein injections, and, more lately, mesotherapy and non-surgical face lifts with contour threads.
Having the unique quality of understanding the female psyche, Dr Nair is able to relate to her patients needs, both as a woman and as a doctor. The results her patients have obtained have made her just as popular to our male clientele. With her meticulous nature and consummate ability to adapt to her patients needs, Dr Nair achieves very effective and highly aesthetic results.

History
The Ashbrooke Cosmetic Surgery was established in 1991, originally as a vein clinic. Over the years, our reputation has grown enormously, the ever increasing range of cosmetic procedures our talented surgeons are capable of performing, and the consistently good results we achieve with our work, making The Ashbrooke a trusted choice for cosmetic surgeries of all kinds.
In February 2006, The Ashbrooke was granted a certification of accreditation by The Australian Council on Health Care Standards (ACHS), an organisation dedicated to improving the quality and safety of health care in Australia through continuous performance reviews, assessments and accreditation.
Liposculpture Expertise
The Ashbrooke is now known throughout Australia as one of the most experienced surgeries in the field of liposculpture, the most sought after cosmetic treatment in our clinic. Our speciality is tumescent liposculpture performed under local anaesthesia.
Our team of doctors and theatre staff have extensive knowledge in managing patients liposculpture patients, having seen and performed procedures on patients of every shape and size. Our record of excellent results, high levels of patient satisfaction and very low complication rates have made us one of the leading names in liposculpture in Australia.
To share our accumulated expertise with other cosmetic practitioners, we have held a number of workshops in liposculpture over the years. We also work very closely with The Australasian College of Cosmetic Surgery in their training program for medical and surgical registrars of the college. All our doctors belong to the Liposuction Register of the College, upon which only those who have performed a minimum of one hundred surgeries can be listed.
Other Cosmetic Procedures
The Ashbrooke Cosmetic Sugery’s expertise extends to a full range of cosmetic procedures. Our doctors are able to treat your facial lines with muscle relaxant injections (Anti Wrinkle Agent) or dermal fillers (Sculptra, Restylane, and collagen) which help to remodel your face, effectively giving you a mid-face lift without surgery. Contour threads can also be used to soften facial lines, lift saggy skin in the face and give you a minor facial lift when surgery is not yet required. Other procedures include needling for acne scars, a new procedure that yields superior results to those obtained with laser treatments, and injection lipolysis for treating cellulite and pockets of fat.
We also have an in-house aesthetician, with over 20 years experience in her field, who can provide you with a unique exfoliative technique developed in our clinic that combines Dermasound (ultrasound), microdermabrasion and gentle individualised chemical peels to give you the lovely skin you have always wished for. This procedure requires minimal down-time and is ideal for the person who cannot afford to take time off from his or her busy schedule.
