Dr Anthony Barker

Dr Anthony Barker is a specialist plastic and reconstructive surgeon whose medical and engineering background shapes his approach to surgery. He integrates the precision of engineering with the artistry of plastic surgery, striving to balance aesthetics and function in every procedure. His practice spans breast reconstruction and enhancement, body contouring, post-pregnancy restoration and complex surgeries after significant weight loss. Recognised for his compassionate consultations, he customises each procedure to help patients achieve natural, confidence-boosting results using advanced techniques and technologies.

Beyond his city practice, Dr Barker is committed to delivering specialist care to rural and Indigenous communities. He regularly travels to Broken Hill and the South Coast to provide reconstructive services, ensuring that patients outside major cities receive the same high standard of care. He works closely with general practitioners, believing that continuity of care and collaboration are essential for optimal patient outcomes.

Dr Barker’s passion for innovation extends into academia. He holds a senior clinical lecturer appointment at Macquarie University, where he mentors surgical trainees and contributes to research that could reshape the future of breast augmentation and reconstruction. His work at the university includes projects on breast implant safety and novel techniques designed to improve patient outcomes and minimise potential risks.

Away from the operating theatre, Dr Barker is committed to longevity medicine and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. A former competitive tennis player, he now enjoys yoga and stays active with a strong social circle in Sydney. Having lived in Sydney for more than 25 years, he remains deeply connected to the community.
