International Surgical Expertise Comes to Pacific Private Hospital
Pacific Private Hospital will welcome internationally renowned Swedish plastic surgeon Dr Charles Randquist to the Gold Coast this week, 12th November, as part of a specialist surgical education program focused on advancing breast surgery techniques and supporting high standards of patient care.
Dr Randquist will join Gold Coast specialist plastic surgeon Dr Craig Layt at Pacific Private Hospital to deliver clinical education and live surgical observation for a select group of FRACS-accredited specialist plastic surgeons.
The program will focus on Motiva Preservé™, a minimally invasive approach to breast augmentation developed by Establishment Labs. The technique uses specialised surgical instruments and controlled tissue expansion to create the implant pocket, with an emphasis on preserving natural breast structures and minimising disruption to surrounding tissue.
For Pacific Private Hospital, hosting the program is an opportunity to support specialist education and the responsible introduction of new surgical techniques, with patient safety and appropriate clinical training at the centre.
Supporting Specialist Education and Patient Care
New surgical techniques require more than access to new technology. They also require appropriate training, clinical mentorship and careful patient selection.
The introduction of Preservé™ in Australia is being supported through a structured training and accreditation pathway established by Establishment Labs. Participating specialist plastic surgeons undertake theoretical education, practical training and clinical guidance before introducing the technique into their own practice.
As part of the Gold Coast program, surgeons will participate in preoperative consultations and surgical planning, including discussions around patient selection, anatomy and individual surgical approaches.
This will be followed by a full day of clinical education at Pacific Private Hospital, where participating surgeons will observe procedures and receive education in surgical technique, instrumentation, anatomical preservation and clinical decision-making.
The program coincides with the Australian Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons Annual Conference on the Gold Coast from 13 to 15 November, bringing Australian and international specialists together for further education and knowledge sharing.
A Destination for Specialist Surgical Care on the Gold Coast
Located in Southport and part of the Nexus Hospitals network, Pacific Private Hospital provides day surgery and short-stay hospital care across a broad range of specialties.
Following a significant redevelopment, the hospital now operates seven theatres and eight new inpatient beds, supporting specialists across plastic and reconstructive surgery, orthopaedics, ophthalmology, gastroenterology and endoscopy, oral and maxillofacial surgery, general surgery, dermatology and Mohs micrographic surgery.
Hosting the international education program builds on Pacific Private Hospital’s role as a destination for specialist surgical care on the Gold Coast, while providing an environment where specialists can share knowledge, develop their skills and explore new approaches to patient care.
It also reflects the broader Nexus Hospitals commitment to creating environments where experienced specialists and healthcare teams can deliver The Best Possible Care for their patients.
About Motiva Preservé™
Motiva Preservé™ is a minimally invasive approach to breast augmentation developed by Establishment Labs.
The technique uses specialised surgical instruments and controlled tissue expansion to create an implant pocket, with the aim of preserving natural breast structures and minimising disruption to surrounding tissues. It incorporates Motiva Ergonomix2® breast implants and places an emphasis on anatomical preservation and surgical precision.
As with any surgical procedure, individual outcomes vary and not every procedure or technique is appropriate for every patient. Patients considering breast augmentation should discuss their individual circumstances, expectations, potential risks and treatment options with an appropriately qualified specialist plastic surgeon.
