About The Nautilus Institute:

In addition to plastic and reconstructive surgery services, the Nautilus Institute offers a full range of skin care therapies and procedures. Cosmetic and reconstructive tattooing are also available, performed by Janet Manly. Tasmania offers state of the art plastic surgery practice which, due to relatively lower practice costs can be offered at very competitive rates. The Tasmanian climate and environment is also very conducive to recovery post surgery.

THE LOGO The Nautilus Shell is a classic example of the beautiful spiral seen in nature, which conforms to the Fibonacci Mathematical Series. Other examples include the ram’s horn, flower and leaf patterns, the curl of waves and even some Galaxies. The proportion defined by this series was well known by the Greeks and called the Golden Mean. The Fibonacci spiral is nature’s way of building quantity without sacrificing quality.

A well-proportioned human face and body adheres to the Fiobacci formula. The Golden Mean is fundamental to architecture and is commonly used in art. It defines the proportions of the Parthenon, playing cards, credit cards and most Christian crucifixes. The dancing Shiva of Hindu mythology holds a nautilus shell in one hand as an instrument through which he initiates creation.

Practice Ethics:

The fundamental point about ethical behaviour is that it willingly takes into account the rights, needs and welfare of others. Ethical cosmetic plastic surgery practice involves the provision of advice, not influenced, by potential financial gain along with the conveying of realistic expectations and possible pit falls of any proposed treatment. It also involves free communication and exchange of ideas with colleagues in a non-competitive manner to maximise over all patient care.
