Recovery from breast reduction mammoplasty looks different for every patient, but understanding what the general process involves can help with planning and preparation.

Most patients can expect some degree of swelling, bruising, and discomfort in the initial weeks following surgery. A supportive surgical garment is worn during recovery, and activity is reintroduced gradually based on how each patient is healing.

Dr Norris provides detailed post-operative instructions tailored to each individual, and follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor progress throughout recovery.

If you're wondering whether surgery might be suitable for you, please contact Form & Face to arrange a consultation with Dr Norris for individual assessment and advice.

A question Dr Norris is often asked: can gynaecomastia be addressed without surgery?

The answer depends entirely on what is causing the enlargement.

In some cases, identifying and managing a contributing factor, such as a medication, supplement, or hormonal change, may be sufficient. Where the primary concern is excess fatty tissue, weight management may also play a role.

However, where established glandular tissue is present, or where there are significant skin changes, non-surgical options are generally limited in what they can achieve.

This is why Dr Norris begins with a thorough assessment of each patient before any approach is discussed. Understanding the cause is central to determining what, if anything, can be done, and what the most appropriate path forward looks like for that individual.

Y can contact Form & Face to arrange a consultation with Dr Norris to review your history, imaging and options in detail.

Calf augmentation is a procedure that can be approached in more than one way, and the difference matters.

During an initial consultation, Dr Norris evaluates each patient individually to determine whether a calf implant, fat grafting, or a combination of both is the most appropriate option. This assessment takes into account the patient's existing anatomy, degree of asymmetry, overall health, and what they are hoping to address.

If you would like to discuss your suitability for this surgery or have any questions, please get in touch with our friendly team to book a private consultation with Dr Norris.

Can I plan a pregnancy after surgery?

It is one of the more personal questions patients ask before considering breast reduction mammoplasty - and it is an important one.

The short answer is: yes, pregnancy after breast reduction mammoplasty is possible, but there are several things worth understanding before making any decisions.

Depending on the surgical technique used, the procedure may affect a patient's ability to breastfeed. During breast reduction mammoplasty, the ni**le and ar**la are repositioned on the chest wall. In most cases, the blood and nerve supply remains intact - however, in more extensive reductions, this may not always be possible, and some patients may experience changes in ni**le sensation.
It is also worth knowing that pregnancy and breastfeeding can change the size and shape of the breasts over time, which may affect long-term surgical results.

This does not necessarily mean the procedure is not right for someone who may wish to have children in the future - but it is a conversation worth having in full before proceeding.

Dr Norris discusses all of these factors openly during the consultation process, helping each patient weigh their options with complete information.

Brachioplasty is not a single, fixed procedure. The approach Dr Norris takes depends on the nature and degree of each patient's concern, and is determined through careful assessment at the initial consultation.

Generally speaking, the type of incision used will depend on how much excess skin and tissue needs to be addressed. Incisions are most commonly placed under or at the back of the arm. In some cases, excess tissue can also be addressed at the armpit, or the arm can be lifted and tucked in that area instead.

Brachioplasty is also frequently performed alongside liposculpture of the surrounding tissue, where this is considered appropriate for the individual patient.

If you have any questions or would like to book a consultation with Dr Norris, our team is here to help.

Brachioplasty, also known as an arm lift, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin from the upper arms. It is often considered by patients who have experienced significant weight loss or general skin laxity in the upper arm area.

As with all cosmetic surgery, suitability is highly individual. A thorough consultation with Dr Norris is the first step in understanding whether this procedure is appropriate for you, what the process involves, and what recovery may look like.

31/03/2026

A breast lift with implants, also called mastopexy with augmentation, is a combined procedure that both reshapes the existing breast tissue and adds volume with an implant. It may be considered when there is breast ptosis (droop) together with a loss of upper pole volume, which is common after breastfeeding, weight changes or natural ageing.

During consultation, Dr Norris examines your breast shape, ni**le position, skin quality and chest wall, reviews your medical history and previous surgery, and discusses your goals. Based on this assessment, he explains the surgical options, incision patterns and implant choices, including whether a dual-plane, subglandular or submuscular pocket may be suitable for your anatomy.

The patient shown here is six months after mastopexy with implants.

If you would like to discuss whether mastopexy with implants might be suitable for you, feel free to reach out to the team at Form & Face to arrange a consultation.

In some cases, tuberous breasts are recognised as a congenital breast abnormality rather than a purely cosmetic concern. When strict Medicare criteria are met and you hold the appropriate level of hospital cover, Medicare item numbers may allow a contribution from Medicare and your private health fund towards part of the hospital and theatre fees for day surgery in an accredited facility.

Eligibility is not automatic and depends on your diagnosis, referral, clinical photographs and your health fund’s policy, so a consultation with Dr Norris is essential to assess your situation and provide item number information you can confirm directly with your fund.

Male abdominal liposuction is sometimes chosen when, despite consistent diet and exercise, localised fat on the abdomen remains. Suitable candidates are generally at or near a healthy weight, are non-smokers or willing to stop before surgery, and understand that liposuction reshapes specific areas rather than providing general weight loss.

At consultation, Dr Norris will examine your abdomen, assess skin quality and fat distribution, discuss your medical history and medications, and explain how liposuction is performed in an accredited facility under general anaesthetic. He will also outline the expected recovery, including the use of compression garments, activity restrictions and follow-up appointments.

The images shown represent one individual approximately three months after abdominal liposuction. They are provided for general information only and do not predict or guarantee your result.

There is no single “best” breast implant. Each patient has different chest dimensions, breast tissue, skin quality and goals.

During a breast augmentation consultation, Dr Norris can discuss the range of implant textures, shapes and profiles, assess your existing breast tissue and chest wall, consider your medical history and lifestyle, and explain how these factors influence implant choice and surgical planning. From there, he can recommend options that may be suitable for your anatomy and clinical requirements.

If you are thinking about breast augmentation and would like guidance tailored to you, arranging a consultation is the most appropriate next step.

Male abdominal liposuction (liposculpture) is a surgical procedure used to remove localised fat deposits in patients who are already close to a healthy weight but have areas that have not changed with diet and exercise.

This image shows one patient 3 months after abdominal liposuction. Results are individual and will vary from person to person.

If you are considering male liposculpture, a consultation with Dr Norris at Form & Face is important to assess your abdominal area, discuss potential risks and benefits, and determine whether this procedure may be suitable for you.

12/03/2026

A breast lift with implants (augmentation mastopexy) combines two procedures in one operation – lifting the breast and adding volume with an implant. Dr Norris usually performs this as a day procedure in an accredited hospital under general anaesthetic.

Techniques may include:
- Short-scar “lollipop” incisions around the ar**la and vertically down to the breast fold
- Occasionally a periar**lar incision only, or additional scars in the breast fold if required
- Placement of the implant in front of the muscle, behind the muscle or in a dual-plane position

The exact approach depends on your breast shape, degree of laxity and skin quality, and is planned individually at consultation. In some circumstances, where strict Medicare criteria are met (for example significant post-pregnancy ptosis in women with children between 1–7 years), there may be limited rebates; these must be confirmed with Medicare and your health fund.

For personalised advice on whether this procedure may be appropriate for you, a consultation with Dr Norris is essential.
