The ideal weight for you is best defined as a healthy weight. This might be different for everyone, and it depends on many factors, like your height, diet, and underlying health conditions. The BMI chart can help you determine whether your weight is in a healthy range.

Liposculpture is not a weight loss procedure, which means ideally, your weight should be stable. If your weight fluctuates after the procedure, this could affect the results and negatively impact your satisfaction.

Before you seek liposculpture, it’s a good idea to reach and maintain your goal (healthy) weight to optimise your chances of a satisfying outcome.

The thighs are a common area for liposuction. Depending on the patient and their natural fat distribution, the procedure may include:

- Outer-thigh liposuction
- Inner-thigh liposuction

Excess fat on the outer thighs can be a cosmetic issue, especially if this fat is resistant to a healthy diet and an active lifestyle.

Inner-thigh fat, on the other hand, isn’t always a cosmetic issue. Sometimes it can lead to thigh chafing, rashes, and persistent discomfort.

Dr Norris is experienced in performing both inner and outer thigh liposuction, according to the preferences of his patients. If you are interested in this procedure, a consultation at Form & Face will clarify your treatment options.

Mastopexy is the medical term for ‘breast lift’ surgery.

Instead of targeting breast volume, a breast lift (mastopexy) focuses on reshaping the breasts. This can help address issues such as:

- Breast ptosis
- Stretched skin (laxity)
- Asymmetry
- Tubular breasts
- Volume loss
- Other irregularities

A qualified surgeon such as Dr Norris will be able to assess your natural breast shape and position, and create a plan with your goals in mind. He will recommend the appropriate incision methods, aftercare, and other details, tailoring the procedure for you.

Book your appointment at Form & Face to learn whether mastopexy surgery can target your breast concerns.

If you are considering body contouring options, you may wish to learn more about liposculpture.

Liposculpture is a procedure that focuses on shaping and defining specific areas of the body. It is generally suited to individuals who maintain a healthy lifestyle and stable weight.

While not a substitute for diet and exercise, it may assist in addressing areas of fat that are resistant to lifestyle changes.

To find out whether this treatment is appropriate for your individual circumstances, you can arrange a consultation with Dr Norris at Form & Face.

Gynaecomastia treatment (or male breast reduction) is a surgical procedure. This means it comes along with the preparation, risks, and aftercare associated with a surgery.

There are two general types of gynaecomastia surgery: liposuction and surgical excision.

In liposuction, Dr Norris uses a cannula to break up and remove fat through very small incisions. Whereas, surgical excision allows for the removal of more fat along with possibly excess skin.

In your consultation with Dr Norris at Form & Face, he will assess your condition and recommend the most suitable course of treatment.

Weight loss can be a rewarding achievement, both cosmetically and health-wise. But what happens when excess fat or skin remains despite the weight loss?

Sometimes, the skin doesn’t snap back after losing weight, and this is also the case after pregnancy. Once the skin is stretched to accommodate extra weight (or a baby), and if the skin has lost elasticity, it’s unlikely to reduce once the weight is lost.

This is where abdominoplasty may help. The surgery excises (removes) the extra skin and remaining fat tissue, and may also involve repairing loose or separated muscles.

Get in touch with our experienced team at Form & Face to learn whether abdominoplasty may help you achieve your goals.

The simple answer is: it depends on how much fat you have on your chest and whether removing it will result in excess skin.

Some gynaecomastia surgeries can be performed without excision, using liposuction. This is usually done in cases where there is minimal excess fat, to redefine and recontour the chest.

If there is a large amount of excess fat, or if the skin has stretched, then an excision may be necessary.

Dr Norris will assess your condition at your consultation to determine whether an excision will be necessary in your gynaecomastia surgery. Contact our Form & Face team to book your consultation!

Gynaecomastia is a common condition that usually appears in males during puberty.

Although it’s often genetic, it can also be influenced by other factors, like obesity, some illnesses, hormonal imbalances, and certain medications.

If you’re seeking treatment for gynaecomastia, the first step might be eliminating the possible causes. For example, if you are overweight or obese, losing weight can help reduce the unwanted fat tissue on the chest.

After we’ve eliminated the possible environmental causes, if the issue persists, you can pursue gynaecomastia surgery (male breast reduction). Dr Norris may recommend a treatment using either surgical excision or liposuction, depending on your needs.

Caring for your healing breasts post-surgery is very important. They’ll be more sensitive than usual and will require your care and patience to ensure they recover well.

First and foremost, you should listen to Dr Norris’ guidance for aftercare and attend any follow-up appointments. Here are some other general guidelines to follow:

- Wear your prescribed surgical bra to keep your breasts supported
- Avoid any heavy lifting, exercise, or activities that put a strain on your breasts
- Keep your incisions clean and dry while they heal
- Avoid smoking and alcohol throughout your recovery
- Take care of your general health by getting enough sleep, eating a nutritious diet, staying hydrated, and increasing your activity levels gradually

Dr Benjamin Norris will provide more detailed information about recovery from breast reduction mammoplasty surgery. To speak with Dr Norris, you are welcome to book an appointment at Form & Face.

There are two types of blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) – upper and lower.

Upper blepharoplasty focuses on removing extra skin that is bothersome to the patient; this can be due to upper eyelid wrinkles or laxity. Dr Norris carefully excises (removes) the unwanted skin by making incisions in discreet areas, usually in the eyelid crease.

Lower blepharoplasty patients often wish to lift the lower eyelids or remove extra volume (puffiness). In this case, Dr Norris makes incisions on the lower lash line to address the problem.

Sometimes, a patient may undergo surgery on both the upper and lower lashes. To learn which options are available to you, book a discussion with a qualified plastic surgeon such as Dr Norris at Form & Face.

A breast augmentation (mammoplasty) is not “one-size-fits-all.” Every woman is different, with her own natural breast shape, cosmetic concerns, and aesthetic goals.

Effective customisation of this procedure is only possible with a qualified and well-trained plastic surgeon, such as Dr Norris at Form & Face. Dr Norris ensures that every consultation is patient-focused and oriented to the individual’s well-being, needs, and preferences.

Dr Norris can talk you through the surgery process and help you decide on which options are best for you:

- Appropriate surgical techniques
- Incision length and placement
- Implant size and profile (projection)
- Implant shape and texture

Discuss how your procedure can be customised with Dr Benjamin Norris!
