Dr Benjamin Chan is originally from Ipoh, Malaysia. His parents wanted him and his siblings to gain world-class education and so worked hard to send them to Australia to pursue their individual passions. Dr Chan knew he always wanted to be a doctor and so, pursued his medical degree in Melbourne’s most prestigious university. Upon completion of his degree and working in the local Melbourne hospital, at a young age, he took a keen interest in aesthetic medicine. He started training professionally in this field and even travelled to countries like Korea and USA to be trained by the best aesthetic physicians and brought these skills back to Australia. Over the years, through his experience, he has become one of the top leading aesthetic physicians in Australia and now he is devoting most of his time to training the next generation of aesthetic physicians. He realised his passion to teach when automatically he was approached by more and more doctors to be their mentor due to his reputation and felt satisfaction in sharing his skills with his colleagues. At present, he owns and successfully runs multiple aesthetic clinics in different states of Australia. In 2015, he set about to start Cosmetic Institute of Australia with a team of aesthetic professionals to formalise aesthetic training and create the new standards in aesthetic medicine.
