Ever wondered why doctors, dentists and nurses can’t talk about non surgical facial rejuvenation (with medications) online? It’s because AHPRA and the TGA have strict rules about how we can communicate about prescription-only treatments.
These rules protect patients by ensuring medical decisions are made in a consultation, not through marketing.

Why does the forehead sometimes become less wrinkled after blepharoplasty (eyelid reduction surgery)? I didn’t operate on this man’s forehead. But it is less lined. Why? Because heavy eyelids can cause a person to increase the tone in their forehead muscle to keep their brows raised so that they can see through their heavy eyelids. The forehead muscle sometimes relaxes and the forehead lines can possibly improve after the excess upper lid skin is removed.

Operation: upper and lower lid blepharoplasty
Duration: 1.5 hours
Nights in hospital: 0-1 night
Photos taken: 4 months post op
Age of patient: 70-75 years
Bruising: 2-3 weeks
Time to return to work: desk work at 2 weeks
Time to driving: vision clears by 1 week
Minor complications eg taking more skin in further minor op: 10% risk
Major complications eg bleeding:

Why is abdominoplasty often the first step in body contouring after major weight loss?�🔹 For many patients, the abdomen is the biggest area of concern�🔹 It allows us to see how an individual’s body heals and scars in a likely well-hidden location�🔹 tightening the abdominal contour helps to set the foundation for further tightening in other areas
Every person’s journey is unique, and surgery is not the right choice for everyone and sometimes we leave the abdominoplasty until last! A thorough consultation is essential to discuss goals, risks, and alternatives.

Thigh lift (thigh wedge resections) results at 2 months post op in a 35-40 year old woman following massive weight loss of 50kg. I know the photos are at an unusual angle, but I want to show you that the scar is located on the inner aspect of the thigh and the groin. 1200ml of liposuction and 350g skin removal for each thigh performed. Swipe left to see the front on result of our patient. The surgery should not blunt or destroy the buttock crease line.

For this patient, it was difficult finding clothing and feeling feminine with A cup breasts. She had 295cc round, moderate plus profile implants inserted in a dual (submuscular) plane. While breast augmentation surgery takes 1-1.5 hours and most people are back at work in one week, there are many long term “maintenance” issues to discuss. We really appreciate meeting people who have well researched and thoughtfully considered their surgery.

Operation duration: 1-1.5h
Time in hospital: day surgery
Time off work: 1 week
Time to drive: 1 week
Time for result to settle: 3 months
