One of New Zealand’s most accomplished plastic surgeon Dr Stephen Mills has joined internationally accredited cosmetic clinic Palm Clinic. Dr Mills has joined a team of expert doctors, sonographers and nurses who are leaders in their fields of Varicose Veins, Liposuction, Cosmetic Medicine, Botox Cosmetic, and Dermal Fillers.


Auckland’s Palm Clinic is a premier destination for non-surgical treatments. Their staff are leaders in their fields, constantly updating their skills at international conferences, and in demand to educate their colleagues. It is one of the longest standing skin clinics in New Zealand with a huge reputation for safe natural results by experienced doctors in their field.


Dr Mills, is a highly regarded plastic surgeon, studied medicine and trained as a plastic surgeon in New Zealand, gaining his fellowship in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (FRACS) in 1996. He then spent two years overseas working with some of the world’s leading plastic surgeons and cosmetic surgeons. During this time he enhanced his skills specifically with fellowships in Cosmetic Surgery, Breast Surgery (Cosmetic and Reconstructive) and Reconstructive Surgery.


Returning from overseas in 1999, Stephen became a consultant Plastic Surgeon at Middlemore Hospital. Here he was involved in treating a wide array of Plastic Surgical conditions, particularly focusing on Breast Reconstruction. His skills cover facial cosmetic surgery (facelifts, eyelid lift, neck lifts, ear correction, brow lifts); breast surgery (enlargement, reduction, lifts, inverted nipple correction, gynaecomastia, reconstruction) and body contouring (tummy tucks, arm lifts, thigh lifts, body lifts).


Dr Mills also became involved in the training of future Plastic Surgeons, medical students and health professionals. He helped establish the National Burn Centre and has been involved in research. In 2004 he was invited to give the prestigious Everett Idris Evans Memorial Lecture in North America, the first New Zealander to do so. This honour is given each year to a non-American who has made an outstanding contribution to burn care.


His work has been internationally recognised and he was integral in the development of the breast reconstruction service. Dr Mills was in private practice for over 15 years. Demand for his skills as a cosmetic surgeon meant that in 2015 he became a full time private plastic and cosmetic surgeon.
