Mr Dean Trotter

Mr Dean Trotter is a specialist Plastic and Reconstructive surgeon and completed his MBBS at the University of Melbourne in 1999. After training at major plastic surgery centres in Melbourne, Dean was awarded Fellowship of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (FRACS) in 2009.

“My aim when I see a patient is to understand exactly what the patient wants and what their expectations are. I then ensure that each patient thoroughly understands their treatment and what it involves. By this process, and through meticulous surgery, my goal is to make the patient’s surgical experience as good as it can be.”

As a surgeon, Dean’s primary interests are in reconstructive and aesthetic surgery, including microsurgery, breast reconstruction, cosmetic breast surgery, hand surgery, skin cancer surgery and trauma.

The highest level of patient care, professionalism and achieving the best possible outcome for his patients are the cornerstones of Dean’s practice.

In addition to his private practice, Dean is the head of the breast plastics unit at the Women’s hospital and breast plastics lead at the The Royal Melbourne Hospital.

Dean is an Executive Member of the Epworth Head & Neck Clinical Unit in Melbourne and part of the Medical Advisory Committee at Northpark Hospital. He is also a Member of the World Society for Reconstructive Microsurgery.

In his free time, Dean enjoys fishing, mountain biking, travelling and practicing his Spanish.
