FACIAL PROCEDURES

Face and brow lift utilising the composite method for a natural, harmonious and lasting result.
Endoscopic techniques are used where appropriate, and have the advantage of minimal scarring.
Short scar "minilifts" are available for suitable individuals wishing a less invasive procedure and a shorter recovery

Laser skin resurfacing for sun damage, wrinkles and acne scarring.

Eyelid correction (Blepharoplasty) using a wide range of techniques to provide a customised result.

Nose reshaping (Rhinoplasty) to correct post traumatic deformity or provide cosmetic improvement. Both open and closed techniques are used where appropriate.

Ear set back (Otoplasty) for correction of prominant ears.

Fat transfer for facial rejuvenation and lip enhancement.

A variety of injectable fillers for reducing facial lines, contour irregularities and lip augmentation.

Medical injection techniques to modify facial muscle action and thus reduce facial lines and subtly reposition some facial structures such as the brows.

BODY CONTOURING

Breast reduction to provide improved comfort and relief from neck, back and shoulder symptoms and create better cosmetic body proportions.
The vertical pattern technique is used in suitable individuals and has the advantage of reduced scarring and improved long term shape.

Breast augmentation and up-lift using a variety of implants and incisions, often employing endoscopic techniques to customise the procedure to the individual.

Tummy tuck (Abdominoplasty)
Full abdominoplasty or a variety of ‘mini’ abdominoplasty procedures are available. There are ongoing advances in the finesse of this operation which favours improved aesthetic results and reduced complications.

Liposuction (liposculpture)
Both conventional suction assisted and ultrasonic assisted techniques are used.
Liposuction has improved in both aesthetic results and safety since its initial introduction into Australia in the early 80’s. This is by virtue of a better understanding of the physiology involved and a more sculpting approach rather than limited spot reductions.

SKIN CARE ADVICE & THERAPY
The practice offers a range of skin care products and procedures tailored to individual needs to help rejuvenate the skin and help minimise further damage.

There are not many individuals of Caucasian origin living in Australia’s climate that would not benefit from a therapeutic and or preventative skin care program.

Medical grade Intence Pulced Light (IPL) therapy is available for:

  • Permanent unwanted hair reduction
  • Photo rejuvination. That is, treatment of sun induced irregular pigmentation, visible fine telangiectatic blood vessels and, in conjunction with Photodynamic therapy, keratosis (sun spots). A general improvement in skin texture and reduced pore size can also be achieved in some cases.
  • Acne treatment. Some forms of acne benefit from IPL treatment. This may be combined with medical treatments and in some cases Photodynamic Therapy.
