These before and after pictures show a previous abdominoplasty patient of Dr Cope. The 39-year-old patient underwent a personalised procedure after completing two pregnancies.

The procedure removes stretched abdominal skin and repairs separated muscles, which can occur after pregnancy or weight changes. At this stage, swelling and tightness are still present, but the abdominal contour is becoming more defined as healing progresses. Full recovery and final results continue to develop over the months after the procedure, as the tissues heal and scars mature. Recovery time varies depending on factors like each person’s health and the extensiveness of their procedure steps.

If you would like to discuss whether an abdominoplasty could be appropriate to address your needs, please contact our team to schedule a consultation.

Bilateral buttock augmentation may be performed together with liposuction of the thighs in selected patients. This combined approach may be considered when there is excess tissue or changes in contour following weight variation, ageing, or other factors.

As with any surgical procedure, a consultation is required to determine suitability. Not all patients will be appropriate candidates for gluteal augmentation, or for a combined procedure with liposuction. An individual assessment is necessary to decide on the most appropriate treatment.

Fine lines and changes in the lower eyelid area may sometimes be treated with advanced skin resurfacing technologies such as Halo or Profractional laser.

These treatments target the skin’s surface and deeper layers to address skin texture and reduce visible lines. They do not change the eyelid’s shape but may be considered alongside or instead of surgery, when skin quality is the main concern. Suitability depends on skin type, the degree of skin laxity, and overall treatment goals.

If you would like to discuss your options for addressing lower eyelid skin and fine lines, you are welcome to contact our team and book a consultation.

A common misconception is that blepharoplasty is only for people with signs of ageing – like wrinkles, lines, and loose skin.

But this isn’t the case. There are other reasons for seeking surgery on the eyelids. For example, due to genetics, some people have an excess of tissue around the eyelids naturally, regardless of age.

This can manifest in concerns like:

- ‘Dark’ areas below the eyes
- Excess fat tissue above or below the eyes
- Naturally protruding skin that sits on the upper lashes

People with these natural features may choose to get blepharoplasty to suit their cosmetic goals. In these cases, a personalised treatment plan from Dr Charles Cope is their first step!

Q: How much movement is allowed following my facial fat transfer procedure?

A: After you get a facial fat transfer, you’ll need time to heal. It’s important to minimise your facial movements and expressions, as this could interfere with fat tissue survival.

Dr Cope will advise on the proper protocols for your aftercare. However, generally, it’s advised to:

- Sleep with your head elevated
- Begin getting up and walking as soon as you are able
- Avoid putting any pressure on your treated sites
- Avoid touching or massaging your treated sites
- Reduce your facial movements as much as you can

Adhering to your instructions will help your body recover at its own pace and encourage the transferred fat to settle properly. For more information, reach out to Dr Cope and his qualified team.

Facial fat transfer takes fat from one part of the body and transfers it to the face. This can help with facial contouring in areas that have lost volume.

Candidates for a facial fat transfer are those who want more facial volume, but who only want to use their natural body tissue. To be a good candidate, you should also have excess fat on your body, as Dr Cope will need to harvest the fat from somewhere (such as the abdomen or thighs).

As always, patients should weigh the pros and cons to decide what works for them. Facial fat transfer can be a good way to treat multiple areas at once using liposuction techniques, but you should also be aware of the risks and recovery involved.

Dr Cope can give you more information about what can be achieved according to your natural contours and body fat. Book a consultation to learn more about facial fat transfer!

Skin laxity doesn’t just affect the lower face; the forehead and brows also show signs of laxity, as well as the skin around the eyes.

Dr Cope performs combination procedures for those concerned about skin laxity – according to their unique facial characteristics and cosmetic desires.

For example, surgery like brow lift (browplasty) can be performed on its own, or it can be done in combination with another surgery like blepharoplasty.

Combined procedures have the advantage of targeting skin laxity in different areas, while requiring only one recovery period (as opposed to two separate surgeries that require two different recovery periods away from work and other life activities).

Find out if you’re a candidate for a combination surgery with Dr Cope!

The skin around your eye area is fairly sensitive. This means it’s more prone to wrinkles, stretched skin, and other signs of ageing.

Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) is for noticeable eye-area laxity – it involves removing excess skin or fat tissue from around the eyes, which can help with the appearance of wrinkles and loose skin.

If you only have mild signs of ageing, a non-surgical treatment option may better serve your needs. On the other hand, if you have low or lax eyebrows, a forehead lift (browplasty) may be more suitable.

Dr Charles Cope consults with individual patients to understand their needs and wants, before designing a custom treatment plan. Begin your blepharoplasty surgery by consulting with Dr Cope!

Q: Will my breast lift (mastopexy) surgery affect my ability to breastfeed post-op?

A: Qualified surgeons like Dr Cope aim to avoid interfering with a woman’s ability to breastfeed after her procedure.

However, the reality of surgery is that complications are sometimes unavoidable. All surgeries come with a level of risk, and it’s up to the patient to decide whether the risk is worth the potential benefits.

Whether or not a breast lift (mastopexy) surgery impacts breastfeeding can depend somewhat on the surgeon’s technique and the issues being addressed.

If you’re concerned about the risk that surgery may interfere with breastfeeding in the future, make sure to bring this up with Dr Cope in your consultation.

Breasts come in all different shapes and sizes. When seeking breast surgery, it’s important to consult a professional like Dr Charles Cope, who can adjust surgical techniques to fit your particular characteristics and goals.

If you’re looking into mastopexy (breast lift) surgery, you might have concerns about the following:

- Uneven or asymmetrical breasts
- Low or ptotic breasts after weight loss
- Stretched breast skin after pregnancy and breastfeeding
- Conditions such as tuberous breasts
- Low or down-pointing ni***es

If you want to address any of these issues with a surgical procedure, get in touch for a consultation.

Q: What is the best scar management procedure following my breast reduction mammoplasty surgery?

A: After your breast reduction (mammoplasty), Dr Charles Cope may recommend non-invasive scar treatments like micropore tape, hyperfix or silicone sheets. Massage can also be a good way to settle the prominence of scars.

If the scars remain large or raised and further treatment is needed, you may seek profractional laser resurfacing, which is performed weekly for 4 weeks.

In all cases, the only way to determine what is ‘best’ for you is to discuss your scar-management needs with a professional like Dr Cope. You are welcome to discuss scar treatments before your procedure so you’re aware of what you might expect post-surgery.

Who is breast reduction (mammoplasty) for?

Every woman’s body is different, and some women have naturally large breasts. And in some cases, large breasts may become an issue, whether cosmetic, practical, or health-related.

For example, women with very large breasts may experience:

- Discomfort due to carrying excess weight
- Back pain, neck pain, and postural issues
- Difficulty exercising
- Skin chafing, irritation, or infections
- General dissatisfaction with the size of their breasts

Your first step to this procedure is a consultation with Dr Charles Cope. Dr Cope is experienced in performing breast reduction mammoplasty, tailored for the needs of individual patients.
