Facelift: natural or windswept?

A well-performed facelift should never appear windswept or overdone — it should preserve your natural features, leaving you looking refreshed, balanced, and unmistakably like yourself.

Not glamorous. Not trending. But absolutely critical.

Sterilisation in hospitals—especially in plastic surgery—is an entire process happening before, during, and after every procedure…
and most people never see it.

It’s detailed. It’s repetitive. And it’s taken seriously every single time.

A little late, but the green spirit was strong yesterday ☘️

While I missed out on the photos, the team showed up in full St Patrick’s Day mode—keeping the tradition strong for their Irish boss.

Proud of this team for keeping patient care front and centre, while still finding small moments to lift the energy across a full clinic.

Same procedure, different price. Why do Australian hospitals charge so much more?

Gynecomastia is the enlargement of male breast tissue, often caused by hormones, genetics, medications, or obesity, and can affect comfort and confidence.

Surgery can remove excess tissue and restore a flatter, more masculine chest. You may be a good candidate if you:

✔️ Are in good overall health
✔️ Have a fully developed chest with good skin tone
✔️ Maintain a relatively normal weight
✔️ Are non-smoker or can quit before and after surgery
✔️ Have realistic expectations about results

A consultation with Dr Kernohan is the best way to determine if surgery is right for you.

Stretch marks are incredibly common — especially after pregnancy, weight changes, or growth spurts. But what actually are they… and can surgery remove them?

In this video, I explain what stretch marks really are (hint: they’re a type of scar in the skin) and whether an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) can help reduce or remove them.

Overly large breasts can cause more than discomfort. Many women experience back, neck and shoulder pain, bra strap indentations, rashes or skin irritation under the breasts, and difficulty exercising due to the weight and movement of heavy breasts.

Breast reduction surgery may help relieve these symptoms when breast size is the cause. By reducing the weight of the breasts, many patients experience improved comfort and greater ease with daily activities and exercise.

While often seen as cosmetic, breast reduction can also be performed for medical reasons, and in some cases Medicare and private health insurance may contribute to surgery costs.

If you are considering breast reduction surgery, it’s important to understand the procedure, recovery, benefits and potential risks through a consultation.

If equipment fails — even unexpectedly — patient safety cannot be compromised.

Backup systems are prepared before the first incision is made. It’s about preparation, precision, and protecting every patient on the table.

In surgery, we follow a fail-safe model adapted from aviation: There is a backup system — and a plan for what happens if that backup fails.

Primary device.
Secondary device.
Clear escalation plan.

Because in the operating room, contingency planning isn’t optional — it’s standard practice for patient safety.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding can cause lasting changes, including excess abdominal skin, muscle separation, stubborn fat, and changes in breast shape or volume.

Post pregnancy surgery is personalised — from a breast lift and abdominoplasty to combinations with implants, liposuction, or staged procedures, depending on your goals and body.

Most surgeries are performed under general anaesthesia. Recovery varies by procedure, with many patients resuming light activities within two to three weeks.

The process starts with a consultation with Dr Kernohan, where your concerns and expectations are discussed, and a tailored surgical plan is developed, including details on the procedure, hospital stay, recovery, and costs.

19/02/2026

A tummy tuck, medically known as abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess abdominal skin and fat and may involve tightening weakened or separated abdominal muscles.

The procedure addresses three layers of the abdomen — skin, fatty tissue, and muscle — which can become stretched or weakened following pregnancy, significant weight changes, or ageing.

Potential benefits may include:
• Improved abdominal contour
• Tightening of abdominal muscles
• Removal of excess skin
• Possible improvement in core support and posture

Suitability varies between individuals. A comprehensive consultation is essential to assess your anatomy, discuss risks, and determine whether this procedure is appropriate for you.
