Biography

Tim Brown was educated at Downing College, in the famous University of Cambridge, who’s other famous alumni include Monty Python’s John Cleese and actress Thandie Newton!  On completing a postgraduate research degree in transplantation Immunology at the Department of Surgery in Cambridge, he undertook surgical training in his home town of Nottingham and plastic surgical training in Sheffield and San Antonio, Texas, USA.

Tim’s interest in breast implants and shape has been reflected in his research throughout his career, and recognised for its high quality and importance. In the UK, he was the recipient of the Mentor Prize awarded by the British Association of Plastic Surgeons, and the Hackett Memorial Prize from the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons for his published work on cosmetic surgery.

In 2012, he was awarded the prize for best publication in the Journal of the International society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons by the Australasian Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons in recognition of his piece of work concerning breast augmentation. This piece of work has formed the basis for a lot of the information he passes on during his consults with patients seeking breast enhancement.

He continues to publish peer reviewed articles in several of the major international journals and remains the only surgeon in Australia who has adopted a data based approach to analysing his breast implant practice. Recently, he has commenced working with a colleague at CSIRO to examine how breast implants change over time.

As a result of working with the British Army Reserves, Tim developed a strong interest in medical management of mass burn causalities, just before the last Gulf War.  During this time as a regimental medical officer for 23 SAS(R), he published a number of articles concerning the field management of Special Forces casualties, who he was responsible for training prior to their deployment in the Middle East.  Subsequently, he was awarded the Diploma in the Medical care of Catastrophes from the Society of Apothecaries in London, which is currently the only Humanitarian Aid qualification recognised by the Red Cross.

After working as a National Health Service Consultant in Sheffield, he moved to Auckland and applied his energy to burn care before moving to Melbourne.  During that time, he was appointed Associate Professor at the University of Auckland.

In addition to his thesis concerning transplantation immunology, he has published over 60 peer reviewed articles and 100 presentations concerning many areas of plastic and cosmetic surgery, including breast augmentation. He reviews articles for several international journals.

Since moving to Melbourne, Mr. Tim Brown has worked for the Southern Health network and Peter MacCallum Hospital.  He now works exclusively in private practice in Berwick and also at Beleura Hospital in Mornington and Frankston Private Hospital.

He is a Fellow of the Australian Society of Plastic Surgeons and a member of the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons.  He is the founder of the Australian Society of Cosmetic Plastic Surgeons.

Mr Brown is a member of the Melbourne Savage Club, the Special Forces Club in London and is a Freeman of the City of London.
