Dr. Adrian Sjarif Specialist Plastic Surgeon

This patient presented with a fuller neck contour related primarily to deeper cervical fat rather than skin laxity. In such cases, liposuction alone is often insufficient, as it does not address the deeper fat compartments that contribute to neck fullness.

A deep plane neck lift was performed, combining targeted neck liposuction with direct excision of deep platysmal fat to improve cervical contour and definition. The approach was selected based on her anatomy, with the aim of achieving balanced, stable results while maintaining proportionality with the lower face.

Subtle refinement is becoming the priority for many patients seeking aesthetic surgery.

The aim is not to change who you are — but to improve balance, proportion and harmony in a way that ages well over time.

Education and realistic expectations matter more than ever.

Upper eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) involves placing incisions within the natural eyelid crease, where scars generally settle very well over time.

These photos show the typical progression of healing:
• Pre-operative with natural skin creasing
• 1 week after surgery immediately following suture removal, when the line is still visible and slightly pink — a normal part of early healing
• 4 weeks after surgery, where the incision has begun to blend into the eyelid crease as the scar continues to mature

Eyelid scars usually soften and fade over several weeks to months. Supportive care — including following post-operative instructions, protecting the area from sun exposure, and allowing the tissues time to mature — all play a role in this process.

Every patient heals differently, but this gives a helpful example of how upper eyelid scars can evolve in the early weeks after surgery.

Always learning.
Turns out my wife’s tyres were looking a little bald before setting off on our 7 hour drive home this weekend!
Took the opportunity to upgrade her tyres to high speed Michelins to keep up with her heavy right foot!
Had the tyre guy take me through the wheel alignment process which was super interesting. It’s now performed using lasers rather than the old dial gauges and straight edges - 100% more accurate and can measure down to 0.001mm!

Happy Perioperative Nurses day!! Perioperative nurses keep our surgical lists running like clockwork! They are the nurses who see you and check you in when you first arrive, help the anaesthetists put you to sleep and wake you up after surgery, help the surgeon during your operation and are there caring for you when you wake up in recovery.
Thank you to all the wonderful nurses who look after me and all my patients - couldn’t do it without you 🫶🏽🙏🏽🙌🏽

Today marks another trip around the sun for me!

Feel very blessed to have been gifted homemade artwork from each of my kids for my birthday as a bit of a change from socks and un**es.

Interesting too how each of the artworks give a little bit of insight into each of their individual personalities. No prizes for guessing which kid most closely takes after her old man 😂
