DR CHRIS MOSS
Dr Chris Moss is one of Melbourne’s best facelift and rhinoplasty surgeons.
He’s been performing facial rejuvenation surgeries such as face, neck and brow lifts, eyelid surgery and nose jobs for more than 20 years at his Toorak private plastic surgery centre.
“Helping my patients feel better and more confident about themselves through plastic surgery has a profoundly positive impact on their lives,” Dr Moss said.
“Being able to restore people to what they were or to address their appearance concerns is an amazing thing to do for someone. I couldn’t think of a better career and that’s why I chose it.”
Over the years Dr Moss’ profile has grown via word of mouth and his media appearances.
Dr Moss and his wife Andrea also run a beauty clinic in Toorak called Liberty Belle Skin Centre and have released a product line of the same name.
The surgeon’s ability to achieve natural-looking results also explain his popularity.
“My results are beautiful and natural looking yet undetectable as being the result of surgery,” Dr Moss said.
“I always work to achieve exceptional results through aesthetic vision and judgment. In basic terms — knowing what has to be done and how much to do. The best plastic surgery is fine artistry and it’s vital to preserve each patient’s uniqueness.”
Dr Moss has also performed research into the anatomy of the face at the start of his career, followed by training with the international masters of Facial Plastic Surgery in the US and Europe.
DR CRAIG RUBINSTEIN
Dr Craig Rubinstein wanted to become a plastic surgeon after a freak accident as a teenager.
“I was hit by a car and went through the windscreen while I was walking to the tramstop on my second day of high school,” he said.
“A highly skilled plastic surgeon looked after me. I had always wanted to be a doctor, like my father, but from that day on I wanted to be a plastic surgeon.”
Dr Rubinstein is best known in the game for his expertise in cosmetic surgery for women, namely breast augmentation and tummy tucks.
He now has more than 25 years surgical experience and prides himself on his natural-looking and long-lasting results.
“In life I wanted to make a difference, really help people and make things better,” he said.
“I have always enjoyed problem solving, thinking and using my hands. Surgeons did this, particularly plastic surgeons, and they just seemed to get things done.”
Dr Rubinstein works out of Coco Ruby Plastic Surgery group in Hawthorn.
His expertise is in natural-looking breast shape enhancements, large or smaller breast reductions and flatter-looking tummy tucks.
“I am very proud of what I do and I couldn’t do it without my team,” he said.
“My team enables me to perform at the highest level. We are all fully qualified, extremely experienced and totally dedicated. Where there is a problem, we own it and fix it.”

DR REBECCA WYTEN
Dr Rebecca Wyten always had a love for design, art and medicine, which made plastic surgery a perfect career fit.
“I was always a keen artist in sculpture painting and drawing, I found I could use these the techniques to modify my surgery to provide a beautiful end result and had a real woman’s touch,” she said.
Dr Wyten mainly focuses on breast and tummy procedures for females only.
