Dr Charlotte Ying is a fully qualified, Australian-trained female practitioner performing cosmetic surgeries and graduated from the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland with Honours degrees in Medicine, Surgery and Obstetrics and Gynaecology. 
After completing her internship in Dublin, she relocated to Australia to further her career. 

Dr Ying found her passion whilst working as a Plastic, Reconstructive and Hand Surgery Registrar at The Canberra Hospital. There she excelled in her surgical skills and contributed to surgical education as a tutor for the Australian National University Medical School. Despite her busy working schedule, she managed to conduct and publish her researches on innovative treatments for finger injuries and hand diseases to present at conferences.

Dr Ying’s professionalism and hard work earned her an exclusive interview and a 2-
page article with The Canberra Times, titled “Surgeon Delivers Kindest Cuts”.

After several years of ‘fixing’ injuries, she realized that there is more to plastic surgery than reconstructing physical damage. “Not many surgical specialties concentrate on the patients’ needs and wants. I’m always interested in my patients’ stories, their experiences and how I can improve their lives as a whole.” Therefore in 2013, Dr Ying decided to enter the world of Cosmetic Surgery in Sydney, obtaining additional experience working alongside multiple renowned Plastic and Cosmetic Surgeons while completing her Fellowship training with the Australasian College of Cosmetic Surgery and Medicine. With the vast amount of clinical exposure, she has gained immense knowledge and technical skills in both surgical and non-surgical cosmetic procedures.  Dr Ying is constantly striving for improvement and has both attended and spoken in international cosmetic surgery conferences.

Dr Ansulette Kay is a certified cosmetic physician located on the north side of Brisbane. Originally from South Africa, she immigrated to NZ, where she graduated from Medical School in 2003 (Otago University) after first obtaining a Bachelor of Science Degree majoring in Anatomy (1999, Otago University). 

Her love and appreciation of Anatomy led to an interest in Cosmetic Medicine, a career she pursued after moving to Australia in 2006. Her passion for providing a personalised experience led to the establishment of Youthful Concepts in 2011, where the emphasis is on building long term relationships rather than fast patient turn over. 

She is a Fellow of the Australasian College of Cosmetic Surgery and Medicine, currently holding the position of Assistant Medical Dean. She continually updates her knowledge and practical skills by attending numerous conferences and workshops in the field of cosmetic medicine, as well as overseeing and providing training for colleagues to raise the standards of care in Aesthetic Medicine in Australia. 

Dr Ansulette is passionate about promoting ethics in aesthetics – with the focus on identifying what’s in the best interest of our patients. Sometimes the safest, most ethical option might be offering no treatment, and cosmetic practitioners need to be empowered to have the ability and confidence to communicate this in an effective way – this starts with a good practitioner-patient relationship. 

“The more we inject someone, the more we become experts in their anatomy; the more we talk to them, the better we understand their motivations - which help us to guide their expectations. These are essential ingredients for delivering results they will love - in the safest, most ethical way possible.”
