The Lotus Institute combines superior technologies with first-class care to achieve our goal of excellence in cosmetic, plastic and laser surgery.

Our facility is a fully accredited, state-of-the-art day surgery, plus there is a private hospital close by for those who wish to stay overnight.

All cosmetic surgery is performed by our qualified plastic surgeons with extensive experience in cosmetic procedures, assisted by a highly skilled team of friendly nursing and patient care staff.

Our service is discreet and our environment is totally relaxing. Some even say we’re more like a five-star resort than a clinic. Herbal teas and fragrant oils are just two of the small touches we employ to set the tone. Our patients are made to feel as comfortable as possible before, during and after treatment. At the Lotus Institute, we aim to make your experience one that surpasses your expectations.

We treat everyone equally, yet individually. No two people are identical so the treatments and procedures we offer take into consideration our patients’ unique and varying needs.

One of the greatest skills we possess is our ability to listen. Listening carefully to our patients puts our team in the best position to evaluate the correct course of action and explain the necessary treatments – a task we perform in a very simple to understand manner so you’re completely aware of the outcomes.

You’ll find the service provided by our support staff is second to none. Our patients all receive personalised care throughout their procedure and recuperation period.

It’s all part of the Lotus experience. The Lotus Institute is located at Southport on the Gold Coast, just 80km south of Brisbane in sunny Queensland.

The Gold Coast is world-famous for its beaches, shopping, nightlife, theme parks and natural beauty. This makes it the perfect place to relax, rejuvenate, luxuriate and have some fun – on your own or with your family.

The warmth of the Queensland sun is also commonly noted for its healing properties. Here we enjoy an average of 245 days of fine weather each year with daytime temperatures above 22°C for 279 days a year.

The Gold Coast is also very easy to get to and navigate around. Interstate and overseas travellers can fly into Brisbane Airport (45 minutes away) or Coolangatta Airport (25 minutes away). There is also a major highway and bus service connecting the Gold Coast with the rest of the eastern seaboard.
