We will always act singlemindedly in your best interest, even if it means not operating.
Professor Ernest Azzopardi offers skin oncology and reconstructive surgery, including advanced surgical care for skin cancer, trauma, and complex tissue reconstruction. His work integrates precision oncologic excision with state-of-the-art laser-assisted and microsurgical techniques to achieve optimal functional and aesthetic outcomes. Whether treating basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, or melanoma, Professor Azzopardi prioritises complete tumour clearance while preserving natural form and texture.
We will be fully equipped to deal with specific aspects of your post operative care including, where necessary, involvment of our wider team of scar therapists, physiotherapists, make up artists, and hematologists to ensure quick recovery and an optimal scar outcome.
In this example, an extensive and poorly defined basal cell carcinoma undergoes a wide local excision, is reconstruced with a peri-alar crescent advancement flap and finally the scar is rehabilitated with specific laser techqniques.
Professor Ernest Azzopardi provides expert care in soft - tissue hand surgery, combining microsurgical precision with advanced reconstructive techniques to restore function, form, and dexterity. His practice encompasses traumatic injuries, nerve compression syndromes (such as carpal tunnel and cubital tunnel), tendon repair, Dupuytren’s contracture, skin oncology, nail surgery and post-burn deformities. With extensive training in both plastic and reconstructive microsurgery, Professor Azzopardi delivers meticulous restoration of delicate anatomical structures—nerves, vessels, tendons, and skin—ensuring optimal recovery and minimal scarring. Integrating laser therapy and regenerative approaches, he also supports enhanced wound healing and scar modulation. Patients under his care benefit from a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach that prioritises function, appearance, and long-term comfort, backed by world-class surgical expertise and personalised rehabilitation protocols.
Professor Ernest Azzopardi and his team offer both surgical and laser-assisted eyelid rejuvenation to restore a youthful, refreshed appearance to the eyes. His technique focuses on precision tissue sculpting, addressing excess eyelid skin, puffiness, and under-eye bags while preserving the natural contour and expression of the face. Depending on each patient’s anatomy, Professor Azzopardi employs minimally invasive, laser blepharoplasty, traditional surgical approaches, or even combined approaches- producing a truly tailored approach to the personal circumstances. For more advanced cases, upper and lower eyelid surgery may be combined with fat repositioning, muscle tightening, and or laser resurfacing for comprehensive rejuvenation. The result is a refined, natural aesthetic—eyes that appear brighter, smoother, and more youthful—achieved through the meticulous balance of surgical artistry and the latest laser technology.
Professor Ernest Azzopardi offers a comprehensive range of body contouring procedures, combining laser technology, precision liposuction, nanofat transfer, and open surgical techniques to achieve elegant, natural body definition. Each treatment plan is tailored to the patient’s anatomy and goals—whether refining silhouette after weight loss, addressing localised fat deposits, or tightening redundant skin.
Professor Azzopardi sculpts the body while promoting skin tightening and collagen regeneration, where possible reducing the need for extensive incisions.
In select cases, nanofat and microfat grafting are employed to restore volume and improve skin quality through regenerative cell-based therapy.
When more significant reshaping is required, open surgical contouring procedures—such as abdominoplasty, thigh lift, or arm lift—are performed with meticulous attention to proportion, scar placement, and post-operative refinement. This integrated approach ensures lasting, harmonious results that enhance both form and confidence, underpinned by the safety and precision of modern laser-assisted plastic surgery.
