Background

Born in England, Dr Timms attended Medical School at University College London. Upon graduating, he worked within the UK medical system, at a number of London’s top teaching hospitals while completing his Fellowship in Surgery-in-General (General Surgery).

After emigrating to Australia in 2000, Dr Timms was appointed to the Advanced Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Training Program, where he worked in Sydney and Perth and obtained his Fellowship in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery from the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons.

Dr Timms returned to the UK to complete an advanced medical qualification, consequently achieving a Fellowship in Cosmetic and Micro-vascular Surgery.

Returning to Perth in March 2008, Dr Timms commenced his private practice while working at Royal Perth Hospital, Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital and Princess Margaret Hospital (now known as Perth Children’s Hospital). Dr Timms is now the Head of the Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Department at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital, and his private practice involves operating at Hollywood Private Hospital, Mount Private Hospital, West Leederville Private Hospital and St John of God Hospital Subiaco.

Alongside his experience in plastic and reconstructive surgery, Dr Timms has interest in breast and body aesthetics, with a particular focus on breast augmentation mammoplasty. This also gives him broad knowledge and skill in post-breast cancer reconstruction, with a deep understanding of the various techniques available.

Dr Timms is also highly specialised in corrective surgeries. In circumstances where previous surgeries have left patients dissatisfied or even disfigured, Dr Timms offers a customised, compassionate and patient-focused surgical solution.
