Abdominoplasty is a type of body contouring surgery that can impact both aesthetics and abdomen function. It is not right for everyone, and suitability needs to be assessed on an individual basis.

You may be considered a candidate after assessment if:
- you have loose skin or muscle separation (diastasis recti) of the abdomen
- you have excess skin after pregnancy or significant weight loss
- you are in good general physical and mental health
- you are at a stable body weight with a healthy BMI
- you do not have medical conditions that would significantly increase the risks of surgery or impair healing
- you are prepared to stop smoking for a period before and after surgery, as advised
- you can take time away from work and usual activities to complete the recovery and aftercare
- you understand the potential risks and complications
- you have realistic expectations of what surgery can and cannot achieve

A GP referral is required before seeing Dr Charles Cope. At your consultations, your medical history, examination findings, goals, treatment options, risks, recovery, costs and any possible Medicare eligibility will be discussed so you can make an informed decision about whether abdominoplasty is appropriate for you.

Excess skin or tissue on the eyelids can occur due to changes in skin elasticity, muscle support, or the position of underlying fat. Treatment options vary depending on the cause and severity of these changes. Approaches may include non-surgical treatments that target skin quality, as well as surgical procedures such as upper or lower blepharoplasty, which involve removing excess skin and adjusting underlying tissues when clinically appropriate.

During a consultation, Dr Cope can assess the structure of your eyelids and outline which treatment options may suit your individual situation. This allows for a personalised discussion based on anatomy, medical history and goals.

If you would like to understand the available options, our team can assist with arranging a consultation.

Scar management can involve several techniques, depending on the type of scar and the characteristics of the surrounding skin. Dr Charles Cope offers a range of treatment options, which may include modalities such as laser resurfacing, to help improve the appearance of scars over time.

Scars naturally change over time. Redness and lumpiness are common during the first few weeks, and the final appearance of a scar may take 12-24 months. Preventative measures can support healing, though individual outcomes vary.

If you’d like to learn more about your treatment options, feel free to reach out to our team.

A face and neck lift is a surgical procedure that involves repositioning underlying tissues and removing excess skin in the facial and neck areas. The specific approach varies depending on factors such as skin quality, tissue laxity, and individual anatomical characteristics.

During a consultation, Dr Cope can assess the structures of the face and neck, explain the techniques that may be appropriate, and outline the considerations involved in healing and recovery. This discussion helps determine whether a face and neck lift is suitable based on your individual needs.

If you’re exploring this procedure or have questions about the process, our team can assist with arranging a consultation.

Most women naturally have minor differences in their breasts that they may never have noticed – minor breast asymmetry is normal. In some cases, surgical procedures can be used to address breast asymmetry. These may include increasing the size of the smaller breast (through procedures such as fat transfer or breast augmentation), reducing the size of the larger breast, or a combination of both, and may also involve reshaping for improved balance.

During a consultation, Dr Charles Cope can assess the specific factors contributing to asymmetry and discuss the options available. This includes explaining the surgical approach, the variability in healing, and considerations that influence whether a particular technique is appropriate.

If you would like to explore your breast volume concerns or learn more about the available options, feel free to get in touch with our team.

Abdominoplasty is a surgical procedure that involves removing excess abdominal skin and may also include repairing separated abdominal muscles. The approach varies between individuals, depending on factors such as skin quality, abdominal wall changes and overall medical history.

Both men and women can be candidates for abdominoplasty surgery. You might be a candidate if you:
- Have loose skin or muscle separation (diastasis recti) on the abdomen
- Have excess skin after pregnancy or weight loss
- Are prepared to abstain from smoking for several weeks both before and after surgery
- Are prepared to take time off work to undergo the aftercare process
- Do not have any severe health issues that may impede the surgery
- Are in good overall health
- Are at a stable body weight and have a healthy BMI
- Know the risks and possible adverse effects of surgery
- Have a realistic idea of the outcomes you may achieve

During a consultation, Dr Cope can assess your abdominal anatomy, explain the surgical plan, and discuss the considerations involved in recovery and long-term healing. Suitability for this procedure differs from person to person, and a personalised assessment is essential.
If you’re exploring whether abdominoplasty may be appropriate for you, schedule a private consultation.

There is no single “ideal age” for a face and neck lift, as suitability depends on individual anatomy rather than age alone. People typically consider this procedure when they experience changes such as skin laxity, soft-tissue descent or prominent neck bands, which can occur at different stages of life.

During a consultation, Dr Charles Cope can assess the underlying structures of the face and neck, discuss the factors contributing to these changes, and determine whether a face and neck lift is appropriate based on your personal circumstances rather than age.

If you have any questions or would like to understand if this procedure might be suitable for you, get in touch or book a consultation with Dr Cope.

Scarring is a normal part of healing after any surgical procedure, and its appearance can change over time. While each person heals differently, there are general measures that may support the scar-maturing process. These can include keeping the area clean and protected, following wound-care instructions provided by your surgeon, and avoiding prolonged sun exposure to the incision site.

During your post-operative review, Dr Cope can provide personalised guidance based on your procedure and skin characteristics. This may include advice on suitable products or techniques to support healing and help reduce the visibility of scars as they mature.

If you have questions about post-operative care or would like further guidance on managing scarring, our team can assist with arranging a consultation.

Upper blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that involves removing excess skin and, when required, adjusting underlying tissues of the upper eyelids. The approach depends on each person’s eyelid anatomy and the concerns discussed during consultation.

During your appointment, Dr Cope can assess the upper eyelid structure, explain the surgical plan, and outline considerations related to healing and post-operative variability. This helps determine whether the procedure is appropriate for your individual circumstances.

If you're exploring upper blepharoplasty or have questions about the process, please get in touch.

Breast asymmetry is common, and the degree of difference varies from person to person. Breast asymmetry correction may be considered when there is a noticeable variation in breast volume, shape, or position. Whether someone is suitable for surgery depends on several factors, including overall health, breast tissue characteristics, and the specific type of asymmetry present.

During a consultation, Dr Cope can assess your individual anatomy, discuss the range of surgical options, and explain what may be appropriate in your situation. This appointment also provides an opportunity to review medical history and outline the considerations involved in planning the procedure.

If you’re exploring breast asymmetry correction or have questions about the process, our team can assist with arranging a consultation.
