Considering a facelift? Understanding the terminology and options is the first step.

Facelift surgery,also known as rhytidectomy or meloplasty is designed to address sagging and loose skin in the face and neck. Depending on your concerns, different techniques may be recommended:

- Traditional Facelift: Targets the mid to lower face and neck.
- Upper Facelift: Focuses on the forehead and brow area.
- Mid Facelift: Addresses the cheek and mid-face region.
- SMAS Lift: Targets deeper facial layers for more lasting results.
- Lower Facelift: Often combined with a neck lift to address jowls and loose skin.

Each approach has its own benefits and considerations. A consultation with a qualified surgeon is essential to determine the most suitable option for your individual needs. At FNQ Plastic Surgery, we provide personalised consultations to discuss your goals and develop a tailored surgical plan.

Skin pigmentation can vary for many reasons, including genetics, sun exposure, and natural ageing. Changes in pigmentation like dark spots, melasma, or uneven tones are common and usually not a sign of serious health issues, but understanding what influences your skin can help you make informed decisions about care and treatment.

At FNQ Plastic Surgery, we provide guidance on safe, evidence-based options to support skin health, tailored to your individual needs. Suitability and outcomes vary between individuals and are best discussed during a consultation.

Healite II is a form of low-level light therapy (LLLT) that uses medical-grade LED technology. It is TGA-approved and works by delivering specific wavelengths of light that are absorbed by cells and converted into energy. This process, known as photobiomodulation, supports the body’s natural repair and recovery processes.

In clinical settings, Healite II has been used to:
✔️ Support wound healing
✔️ Assist with reducing inflammation
✔️ Aid recovery after certain procedures
✔️ Help manage some skin conditions, such as acne

Healite II is non-invasive and generally well tolerated. Individual results vary, and suitability depends on a thorough consultationt FNQ Plastic Surgery.

Exion combines radiofrequency (RF) energy with shallow microneedling to gently stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture. While downtime is typically minimal, proper aftercare is vital to support healing and get the best possible results.

Here’s what to expect—and what to do:

Mild redness, warmth, or swelling may occur immediately after treatment and usually settles within 1–2 days.

Apply a gentle cleanser and hydrating moisturiser; avoid scrubbing or active ingredients like retinoids or acids for at least 5–7 days.

Use a broad-spectrum mineral sunscreen (SPF 50+) daily—and limit sun exposure to reduce the risk of pigmentation changes.

Avoid heat (hot showers, saunas) and heavy sweating for 24–48 hours.

Results build gradually over several weeks; maintaining your routine and attending follow-up treatments helps support skin renewal.

This is general information—suitability and specific advice will be discussed during your consultation.

What is EXION Body and how does it work?

EXION Body is a non-invasive treatment that combines monopolar radiofrequency and targeted ultrasound to do two key things at once:
1. Firm and tighten skin
2. Reduce fat in tricky-to-treat areas

This dual approach stimulates your body’s own collagen, elastin, and even hyaluronic acid — key components for skin structure and elasticity while using controlled heat to target underlying fat. The result? Smoother, tighter skin with visible contouring in areas like the arms, abdomen, thighs, and buttocks.

✔️ Up to 85% improvement in skin laxity
✔️ Up to 22% fat reduction
✔️ No needles, no downtime, in-clinic treatments

Results build gradually across a series of sessions, guided by your personalised treatment plan. Want to learn more? Book a consultation and see if EXION Body is right for you

An autograft is a skin graft where healthy skin is taken from one part of your body (the donor site) and used to cover a wound or defect in another area. This technique is often necessary when a wound is too large to close with stitches alone — such as after skin cancer removal or significant injury.

Skin graft surgery does much more than simply “cut and paste.” It requires a high level of expertise and medical knowledge to:
• Carefully select a graft that matches the colour, texture, and thickness needed for the specific area
• Harvest the skin using precise techniques that maximise the chance of the graft successfully taking
• Prepare and shape the graft so it fits perfectly on the wound
• Secure the graft properly to ensure it survives in its new location
• Support healing while minimising pain, recovery time, and risk of complications

At FNQ Plastic Surgery, our focus is on restoring both function and appearance — helping patients regain confidence and quality of life after surgery.

If you’re curious about skin grafting and whether it might be right for you, book a consultation to learn more.

Even years after breast augmentation, complications—such as implant rupture can still arise.

We’re often contacted by patients experiencing chest discomfort, changes in breast shape, or alterations to the skin. If you notice any of these signs, the best next step is to seek a referral from your GP. Comprehensive evaluation—including breast imaging—is important to assess implant integrity.

While implant rupture can be concerning, it is a known and manageable complication. With the right medical approach and professional guidance, it can be addressed safely and effectively.

At FNQ Plastic Surgery, our consultations are designed to focus on your history, symptoms, and personal goals—supported by precise imaging and expert input from a specialist surgeon. Whether your original surgery was performed here or elsewhere, we're committed to helping you move forward with care and confidence.
