A Melbourne plastic surgery clinic has been court-ordered into liquidation, six months after its glamorous co-founder surgeon returned to the United States.

Avenue Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, based in Melbourne's affluent suburb of Malvern, will be wound up due to insolvency following Federal Court orders.

A winding-up order was first applied for by the Deputy Commissioner of Taxation on September 23.

The clinic, under its business name Taras Operations Pty Ltd, was then ordered into insolvency on October 30, with liquidator Ian Grant appointed to take over the books.

The business was also ordered to pay $3,000 in legal costs for the Deputy Commissioner.

Multiple phone calls to the clinic on Tuesday went unanswered, even though it still showed as being open on Google.

Sources said the clinic was pummelled by Victoria's extended and much-criticised Covid lockdowns under the Andrews government, and was never able to recover.

Financial difficulties were further compounded by the government restricting and postponing non-urgent surgery over this period. Negative reviews left by frustrated patients awaiting surgery revisions also added to the clinic's woes.
