Still curious about facelifts?

Welcome to Part 2 of Questions You’re Actually Thinking.

Let’s clear up another big one…
A facelift is NOT just for a certain age.

The truth?
It’s less about the number and more about what you’re starting to notice:

Skin laxity that doesn’t bounce back
Deepening folds around the mouth
Loss of definition through the lower face

In Part 2, we’re answering more of the questions you’ve been quietly wondering about, from timing to results and everything in between.

Microneedling is not designed as a single-event treatment.
It is a regenerative process.

By creating controlled micro-injust within the dermis, microneedling stimulates collagen production and initiates a structured healing cascade. This occurs in phases - inflammation, proliferation, and remodelling - each requiring adequate time and appropriate spacing.

For thsi reason, outcomes are optimised when treatment is delivered as a clinically planned series.

At Plastic Surgery Queensland, microneedling protocols are individualised based on skin quality, treatment goals, and recovery response. Session intervals are selected to maximised collagen stimulation while respecting tissue healing timelines.

Skin regeneration is cumulative.
Cosistency supports structural improvement.
Timing Matters.

To determine whether microneedling is appropriate for you, a personalised consultation is recommended.

Face & Neck Lift performed by Dr Theo Birch

This result highlights how a face and neck lift can address age-related changes such as skin laxity, softening of the jawline, and loss of structure through the neck.

A facelift is a detailed surgical procedure that involves elevating the skin and repositioning deeper facial structures, with careful attention to preserving facial nerve function and aiming for durable outcomes.

In this case, the approach included:
• Repositioning underlying facial tissues (not just skin tightening)
• Refining jawline definition
• Addressing neck muscle laxity and excess tissue

A neck lift is often performed at the same time, targeting muscle laxity and excess fat to support the neck and jaw area.

A growing trend in facial surgery: natural, balanced results that aim to restore, not change, your features.

Thinking about a facelift?

Let’s kill the biggest myths in aesthetics in Part 1 of Questions You’re Actually Thinking.

A facelift is NOT about looking “different.”

The truth?
Most people don’t wake up one day and suddenly “need” a facelift.
They slowly start to notice:

The jawline softening
The midface losing volume
The neck losing definition

In this series, we’re answering the questions you’re really asking — honestly, clearly, and without the fluff.

A breast lift (mastopexy) is often discussed as though it produces a single, predictable result. In practice, outcomes vary because the procedure is designed to address each patient’s unique anatomy and clinical presentation.

Mastopexy involves reshaping and repositioning existing breast tissue and skin to improve contour and ni**le position. It does not simply “lift” the breasts in a uniform or standardised way.

The surgical plan is individualised following clinical assessment, with consideration given to factors such as:
• Degree of skin laxity
• Breast volume and distribution of tissue
• Nipple–areolar position
• Skin quality and elasticity
• Overall body proportions
• Patient goals and expectations

For some patients, mastopexy may be performed to address changes associated with pregnancy, breastfeeding, ageing, or weight fluctuation. For others, it may be recommended to improve symmetry or achieve better proportional balance with the body.

Because these variables differ between individuals, surgical techniques and outcomes will also vary. There is no single “ideal” result; instead, the aim is to achieve an outcome that is appropriate for the patient’s anatomy and aligns with agreed treatment goals.

When viewing before-and-after images online, it is important to recognise that results are specific to each individual’s starting anatomy, surgical plan, and healing process, and may not be comparable.

This patient underwent bilateral explantation and total capsulectomy with mastopexy (breast lift) performed by Dr Andrew Hadj.

She initially presented with concerns about her breast implants following a history of non-specific symptoms, including a previous rash across the breasts, and imaging that suggested silicone uptake in at least one axillary lymph node. After careful assessment and discussion of her options, she elected to proceed with implant removal and reshaping surgery.

This procedure involves:
• Removal of both breast implants
• Complete excision of the surrounding implant capsules (capsulectomy)
• Mastopexy to reshape and lift the natural breast tissue

Explant surgery can be considered for a variety of reasons, including patient preference, systemic symptoms, or implant-related concerns. A mastopexy is often performed at the same time to restore breast shape and contour following implant removal. The goal is not only to address medical concerns but also to restore a natural breast contour and support overall wellbeing.

Careful assessment, detailed discussion, and individualised surgical planning are essential to achieving both safe and aesthetically balanced outcomes.
