About Dr David Sparks
Dr David Sparks is a Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon on the Gold Coast, with a special interest in deep plane face and neck lift surgery, facial plastic surgery more broadly as well as comprehensive skin cancer management.
Dual fellowship-trained in both plastic and craniofacial surgery — a distinction held by no other surgeon on the Gold Coast — Dr Sparks brings an exceptional depth of anatomical knowledge to facial aesthetic and reconstructive surgery. His training extends beyond Australian shores, with advanced fellowship training in craniofacial, head/neck and facial palsy surgery at Vancouver General Hospital, Canada, and dedicated experience alongside world-leading deep plane facelift and rhinoplasty surgeons in Vancouver (Canada), Beverly Hills in California (USA) and on Harley Street, London (UK).
Dr Sparks is a member of the following associations:
- Australian Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS)
- Australasian Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (ASAPS)
- Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (RACS)
- Australia and New Zealand Head and Neck Cancer Society (ANZHNCS)
- Australasian Academy of Facial Plastic Surgery (AAFPS)
- Australian Medical Association (AMA)
This breadth of international training, combined with over a decade of surgical experience, underpins an approach to facial plastic surgery that is precise, structurally informed, and uncompromisingly focused on lasting results. Deep plane facelift surgery — the most anatomically sophisticated approach to address features of facial and neck ageing — demands exactly the kind of three-dimensional facial understanding that craniofacial training uniquely provides.
Dr Sparks holds a PhD in Regenerative Medicine and has authored more than 20 peer-reviewed international publications, bringing a research-driven rigour to every aspect of his surgical practice. He is a Senior Lecturer at Griffith University, and is frequently invited to speak at major surgical meetings and in the media.
Dr Sparks integrates his academic background into his clinical aesthetic practice to bring the most evidence based aesthetic surgical solutions for his patients.
