Patient safety and natural results a priority

Dr Arthur Yang, Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeon, MBChB, BMedSc, FRACS (Plastics)

Patient safety and natural results are Dr Yang’s primary goals, and he is committed to obtaining the best result with each and every procedure he performs, always with your optimal outcome in mind. He believes it is important for patients to be well informed about what to expect before, during, and after surgery and views follow-up visits as being as important as your initial consultation.

Dr Yang is a graduate of Otago University Medical School and Christchurch Medical School, and is New Zealand trained in Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery. He operates with fully accredited anaesthetists to administer sedation or general anaesthesia at fully accredited surgery centres and hospital operating rooms to maximise your safety.

Dr Yang completed a dedicated Cleft Lip and Palate Fellowship in Birmingham, UK, followed by advanced international training in Rhinoplasty (Europe) and Asian Cosmetic Surgery (South Korea). From 2017 to 2025, he served as Clinical Lead for the Midland Cleft Centre (Waikato), strengthening the multidisciplinary service and helping establish it as one of New Zealand’s leading regional cleft programmes. He also held the roles of Clinical Director of Plastic Surgery and Supervisor of Plastic Surgery Training for the Waikato region, and has served as a Board Member of the New Zealand Association of Plastic Surgeons.

In 2025, Dr Yang was invited to join the Auckland Regional Cleft Unit at Middlemore Hospital, New Zealand’s largest cleft centre, where he continues to deliver cleft care of excellence to a broader patient population.

Dr Yang continues to lead his well-established private cosmetic and reconstructive practice in Hamilton, which remains the core base of his private work. Building on this foundation, he has expanded his services to Auckland to provide patients there with the same level of expertise and individualised care. His practice encompasses a comprehensive range of procedures, including rhinoplasty, Asian and Caucasian eyelid surgery, facial rejuvenation, body contouring, and skin cancer surgery.

In addition, Dr Yang currently provides selected local anaesthetic treatments at his Christchurch clinic.

Whether you are considering cosmetic or reconstructive plastic surgery, Dr Yang emphasises being well-informed and empowered in decision-making. He is known for his attentive listening, patient-centred approach, and commitment to achieving results that best align with each patient’s goals and lifestyle.
