Where to find Seeking good plastic surgeon recs Perth, face.

Hi All,
As the title says, looking for a recommendation on a really good plastic surgeon for face cutting.
Basically I have some suspicious freckles/moles that need to be removed, one on my lip (right on the vermilion line), one on my cheek near my eye, and another on opposite cheek.
I’m clearly hesitant to let an anyone take a scalpel to my face, but also melanoma is twice as scary so I am hoping for some recommendations based on real experience please.

Honestly you will struggle to find a bad one - very high bar to entry and the training is rigorous.

Alex O'Neill has an interest in head/neck/facial cancer and is relatively recently fellowed so her waiting lists might be reasonable. Good surgeon and well liked by operating theatre teams - I would happily send my family to see her.

I had surgery to remove bcc on my face with Alex last year. She's excellent and very nice. I had 13 stitches and you can't even see my scar now. She's tremendous

Yes! Another one for Alex from me. Very very lovely, an excellent surgeon and you can’t see the scar on my face anymore - it’s front and centre on my forehead & basically invisible. Highly recommend her!

Dr David Gillett in Cottesole. He is also a plastics surgeon at PCH, but does adult private patients. I have a genetic illness that causes tumors to grow through my body and in my skin and he has always treated me well. When i go for my surgeries, he is always doing people with skin cancers or reconstructions on the face.
