Browlift Surgery

The physical appearance of the face can be divided up into 3 parts. The upper third is made up of the forehead and eyebrows. The middle third is made up of the midface, the cheeks and the mouth, while the lower third is the chin and the neck. Age related changes in the upper third of the face (forehead) can be quite evident. They are usually seen as the development of transverse forehead creases, ptosis (drooping) of the eyebrows and hooding or heaviness of the upper eyelid skin. Often this is one of the...Read More

Blepharoplasty

Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty

Upper eyelid surgery is the procedure that can make the greatest single difference to the appearance of facial aging. For a relatively quick and straight forward technique, there is no other cosmetic surgery procedure which achieves as impressive a rejuvenating effect as upper eyelid blepharoplasty. The removal of excessive skin from the upper eyelid and reshaping of the upper eyelid contour can lead enhancement and rejuvenation of the eyes to look alert and youthful. Dr...Read More

Face Lift (Rhytidectomy)

There are many changes in facial appearance that occur as a result of aging. Our knowledge about aging of the face shows that it is not only the facial skin that changes in aging but also the underlying structural support of the face. This means that aging is a structural process not only superficial. As the underlying support of the facial skin weakens and becomes lax there is a visible change in the facial shape, which is evident of facial aging. It is these changes that lead to the look of tiredness due...Read More

The full body lift procedure removes redundant panniculus (skin and subcutaneous fat) from the waistline area in a circumferential fashion. It usually would incorporate an abdominoplasty, lateral thigh and buttock lift resulting in a flatter and...Read More

Liposuction

This procedure is most beneficial in the younger patient (less than 45 years) where fatty deposits are isolated and not extensive. In this particular situation significant improvements in contour can be achieved. The surgical procedure usually is performed as a day surgery case under general anaesthesia, although isolated fatty deposits could be removed under local anaesthesia and sedation. As each area of fatty deposit requires about 20 minutes of surgical treatment, a maximum of 6-8 areas can be treated...Read More

Secondary Breast Augmentation (Breast Implant Exchange)

Removal and replacement of breast implants may be required for many reasons. There may be a complication with the implant requiring removal.

The commonest reason for this is development of capsular contracture (scarring around the implant), which will cause firmness of the implant in the breast and possibly breast asymmetry. Occasionally capsular contracture can be the cause of breast pain, although this not common. This situation is much more likely with silicone gel filled implants due to silicone...Read More
