There’s no such thing as an ideal or ‘perfect’ age for surgery – the time for surgery depends on many factors aside from just your age (like your skin condition, health, and goals).

That being said, facelift (rhytidectomy) surgery is usually performed on people over the age of 40. This is because people in their 40s, 50s, or 60s usually start to see visible ageing signs that may not respond well to non-surgical options.

In other words, deciding to get surgery is a big decision that doesn’t just depend on age. It also depends on your cosmetic goals, the speed of your facial ageing, and your readiness for surgery physically, emotionally, and financially.

Consulting with a qualified plastic surgeon can help assess whether facelift surgery may be appropriate for your needs and expectations.

Unlike other facial surgeries, a brow lift (or coronaplasty) targets the upper portion of the face. With ageing, sun damage, and loss of elasticity, the forehead and brows can start to display:

- Lines and wrinkles
- Laxity or a ‘lowering’ of the brows
- Furrowed brows
- Deep creases

For some people, these concerns can be addressed by manipulating the skin and tissue around the brows to redefine the area.

Dr Norris is a qualified plastic surgeon who aims to adapt each surgical plan specifically to the patient’s concerns. A consultation with Dr Norris can help determine if a brow lift is suitable for your individual needs.

Many factors can cause stretched skin on the upper arms, such as:

- Weight gain and loss
- Lack of muscle definition
- Skin ageing and loss of collagen
- Environmental factors like smoking and sun damage
- Genetic predisposition

When skin stretches or becomes lax, it may have lost its elasticity, which can create a loose appearance. In some cases, arm lift (brachioplasty) surgery may be considered when non-surgical approaches are not effective.

The surgery involves making incisions and removing the extra skin surgically, followed by an aftercare and recovery period.

At Form & Face, a consultation with Dr Norris can help determine if this option is suitable for you.

Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) isn’t just for unwanted upper eyelid skin. ‘Lower blepharoplasty’ targets the space below the eyes according to the patient’s wishes.

The decision to get lower blepharoplasty might not be age-related. Some people naturally have a bowed lower eyelid or excess fat under the eyes that creates shadows.

These concerns may be addressed in some cases through lower eyelid (blepharoplasty) surgery. This is where Dr Norris makes small incisions in the lower lash line to remove and reposition the unwanted tissue.

A consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon such as Dr Benjamin Norris can help determine whether lower blepharoplasty is appropriate for you.

A facelift (rhytidectomy) usually targets the lower two-thirds of the face. This is the facial region where signs of ageing are prone to appear, creating the appearance of:

- Cheek laxity and loss of volume
- Jowls and an undefined jawline
- Nasolabial folds
- Excess fat under the chin

For patients concerned about changes in facial contours due to ageing, a facelift (rhytidectomy) may be a suitable option depending on individual circumstances.

By repositioning and removing extra skin, Dr Benjamin Norris aims to work within the bounds of the patient’s natural anatomy and cosmetic goals. Book your consultation for more information about this procedure!

The abdomen can experience many changes during weight gain, weight loss, and pregnancy. Fat can accumulate, muscles can weaken or stretch, and the abdominal skin can become loose.

To deal with these issues, men and women may seek abdominoplasty surgery. And, since people may have different concerns, this procedure also has different types.

Abdominoplasty may be categorised as:

- ‘Mini,’ involving a shorter scar
- Traditional, involving an incision from hip to hip
- Extended, involving a longer incision
- Fleur-de-lis, involving vertical and horizontal incisions
- Circumferential, extending around the abdomen

Dr Benjamin Norris will advise which method may best suit your circumstances during your personal consultation.

Dr Benjamin Norris takes care to plan incisions in areas where scars may be less visible, such as within the hairline. This placement is strategically chosen to ameliorate concerns about scar visibility.

However, patients should be aware that all surgeries result in scarring and that scarring is somewhat unpredictable. This means there is always a risk that scars may be more visible or larger than expected.

If scarring after brow lift (coronaplasty) concerns you, make sure to discuss it with Dr Norris during your consultation.

If you have eyelid laxity that is cosmetically displeasing or that affects your vision, you might consider blepharoplasty surgery.

Upper blepharoplasty might be needed for people whose eyelid skin has become stretched over time. The loss of collagen and elastin in the skin causes it to lower onto the lashes. This can cause:

- An unwanted appearance
- Difficulty putting on makeup
- Impaired vision

Dr Norris works with each patient to determine the suitable course of action for their surgery. We welcome blepharoplasty consultations at Form & Face!

The ideal weight for you is best defined as a healthy weight. This might be different for everyone, and it depends on many factors, like your height, diet, and underlying health conditions. The BMI chart can help you determine whether your weight is in a healthy range.

Liposculpture is not a weight loss procedure, which means ideally, your weight should be stable. If your weight fluctuates after the procedure, this could affect the results and negatively impact your satisfaction.

Before you seek liposculpture, it’s a good idea to reach and maintain your goal (healthy) weight to optimise your chances of a satisfying outcome.

The thighs are a common area for liposuction. Depending on the patient and their natural fat distribution, the procedure may include:

- Outer-thigh liposuction
- Inner-thigh liposuction

Excess fat on the outer thighs can be a cosmetic issue, especially if this fat is resistant to a healthy diet and an active lifestyle.

Inner-thigh fat, on the other hand, isn’t always a cosmetic issue. Sometimes it can lead to thigh chafing, rashes, and persistent discomfort.

Dr Norris is experienced in performing both inner and outer thigh liposuction, according to the preferences of his patients. If you are interested in this procedure, a consultation at Form & Face will clarify your treatment options.

Mastopexy is the medical term for ‘breast lift’ surgery.

Instead of targeting breast volume, a breast lift (mastopexy) focuses on reshaping the breasts. This can help address issues such as:

- Breast ptosis
- Stretched skin (laxity)
- Asymmetry
- Tubular breasts
- Volume loss
- Other irregularities

A qualified surgeon such as Dr Norris will be able to assess your natural breast shape and position, and create a plan with your goals in mind. He will recommend the appropriate incision methods, aftercare, and other details, tailoring the procedure for you.

Book your appointment at Form & Face to learn whether mastopexy surgery can target your breast concerns.

If you are considering body contouring options, you may wish to learn more about liposculpture.

Liposculpture is a procedure that focuses on shaping and defining specific areas of the body. It is generally suited to individuals who maintain a healthy lifestyle and stable weight.

While not a substitute for diet and exercise, it may assist in addressing areas of fat that are resistant to lifestyle changes.

To find out whether this treatment is appropriate for your individual circumstances, you can arrange a consultation with Dr Norris at Form & Face.
