Liposuction permanently removes fat cells from targeted areas—they don’t regrow there.

However, if you gain weight afterwards, the remaining fat cells throughout your body including untreated areas can still expand. That’s why liposuction should be viewed as a body-contouring procedure, not a weight-loss solution. To enjoy lasting results, it’s essential to pair the procedure with sustainable, healthy lifestyle habits.

Curious if liposuction might be right for you? Schedule a phone consultation with our team today.

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common form of skin cancer in Australia. It develops from basal cells — cells located at the base of the epidermis (the outer layer of skin). BCC most often appears on sun-exposed areas such as the face, neck, arms and hands, but it can occur anywhere on the body.

BCC may present as a shiny bump, a non-healing sore, a scaly patch, or even an area that looks like a scar. While BCC tends to grow slowly, if left untreated, it can damage surrounding tissue and cause significant deformity.

Surgical removal is the standard treatment. At FNQ Plastic Surgery, our specialist surgeons use precise techniques to remove the tumour while aiming to minimise scarring and restore natural skin contour — particularly important when the cancer occurs in visible areas.

Early detection and prompt treatment are key to reducing complications. If you have a skin lesion that concerns you, ensure you book in for a skin check.

All surgical or invasive procedures carry risks and require an adequate recovery period. More information about procedures and their risks are available on our website www.fnqplasticsurgery.com.au. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.

At FNQ Plastic Surgery, your safety and health guide every decision we make. As a medically-led clinic with qualified specialists, here’s what we don’t do:

1. We don’t use unapproved or low-quality products — only TGA-approved treatments and medical-grade skincare.

2. We don’t offer treatments without a proper medical consultation and assessment of your needs.

3. We don’t promise unrealistic or unsafe results — our recommendations are based on science and clinical evidence.

4. We don’t skip safety protocols — from infection control to aftercare, we follow strict medical standards at every stage.

Choosing a medically-led clinic means your care is based on knowledge, experience, and best practice — not shortcuts or trends.

Rhinophyma is a skin condition affecting the nose, marked by thickening, enlargement, and a bumpy, irregular surface—typically linked to advanced rosacea. It results from enlarged sebaceous glands and excess skin tissue growth. While neither contagious nor curable, treatments can enhance its appearance and halt progression.

In this case, the patient underwent rhinophyma removal using the Versajet II Hydrosurgery System under general anesthesia as a day-case procedure. The Versajet device delivers a high-pressure saline jet to precisely sculpt and debulk the affected tissue in layers. Once the bulk of the deformity is removed, fine tuning with the water jet refines the nasal contours. The procedure concludes with sharp instrument adjustments and electrocautery for hemostasis, followed by standard wound dressings and aftercare.

Scar healing varies from person to person based on factors such as skin type, genetics, wound care, and sun protection. Some scars may become raised or discoloured (hypertrophic or keloid), and may require additional treatment.Scar Healing Timeline:

Immediate (0–2 weeks):
The wound closes and begins to heal.
The area may appear red, swollen, and tender.
Stitches (if present) are usually removed within 5–14 days.

Early Healing (2–6 weeks):
The skin starts to rebuild collagen.
The scar may be pink, firm, and slightly raised.
It’s important to protect the area from sun exposure.

Maturing Phase (6 weeks–6 months):
The scar gradually softens and flattens.
Redness begins to fade.
Regular massage, moisturising, and silicone products can help improve appearance.

Long-Term (6 months–12+ months):
The scar continues to fade and mature.
Final appearance is usually reached around 12–18 months, depending on the individual and location of the scar.

Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to enhance the appearance of the eyelids. It can be performed on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both, depending on the patient's needs. The procedure involves the removal or repositioning of excess skin, muscle, and sometimes fat, resulting in a more youthful and refreshed look. In some cases, it can also help improve vision when drooping upper eyelid skin interferes with the visual field.

Blepharoplasty is usually performed under local anesthesia with sedation or under general anesthesia. Recovery typically involves some swelling and bruising, which generally subsides within 2 weeks. This procedure is often combined with a brow lift, particularly when addressing a heavy or sagging brow (brow ptosis), to further enhance the overall result.
