Mr David Colbert
MBBS FRACS (Plast)

Professional Profile
My aim is to provide safe, compassionate, and comprehensive treatment to each patient I meet.
I consider it a great privilege to be able to assist people in either improving their form or helping them achieve a certain look they desire.
I have been trained in all aspects of plastic surgery, but have particular passion for cosmetic surgery of the breast, body and face, and reconstructive surgery for skin cancer.
I have a great passion for surgical teaching – my public hospital appointment at Royal Perth Hospital allows me to teach the next generation of plastic surgeons, and I’m currently publishing a plastic surgery textbook through Oxford University Press.
Whether cosmetic or reconstructive, plastic surgery should improve a person not only physically, but also mentally and spiritually.
Sometimes there is a gap between when people know they are beautiful and feel they are beautiful – and in this situation I believe that plastic surgery can help to bridge that gap, and help people feel more confident in who they truly are.
I pride myself on taking an aesthetic eye to every operation I do, with the aim of helping you look like a better version of yourself, and not someone different.
