There is a new option that offers all the benefits of a neck lift without the risks and downtime. Enter MyEllevate.

In recent years, there has been a growing demand for safe, highly effective, and minimally invasive aesthetic treatments that offer speedy recovery. Renuvion stands out as a rare innovation that meets all these criteria.

It’s safe to say that the HydraFacial™ has created a buzz in the skincare and beauty world. It is increasingly becoming one of our most popular non surgical treatments, and with its amazing results, we can certainly see why.

Fat Freezing (Cryolipolysis) targets areas of the body that are difficult to remove fat by diet and exercise alone. Common complaints it targets are excess fat under the chin (double chin), the abdomen, thighs and the lower back, especially love handles.

Facelift surgery is a cosmetic procedure commonly used to tighten and smooth out facial skin. You can expect to look between 7-10 years younger once fully recovered from a facelift.

HydraFacial™ uses patented hydradermabrasion technology combined with nourishing skin-loving ingredients. With ongoing treatments, you will notice intensely improved hydration, minimised dark spots and dramatically reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

The mortality from BBL is estimated at 1 in 3,000 to 5,000, which is the highest for any cosmetic procedure. It all relates to an anatomical structure called the inferior gluteal vein (which is a big vein right in the region of the buttocks) where the work takes place during BBL.

Many women - maybe the majority of my patients - feel that they don’t really want or need the whole scar of an arm lift, but just want to be a bit firmer and more toned than they currently are, and wonder if this ‘mini arm lift’ they keep hearing about might be the answer. A mini arm lift is a procedure that I rarely (possibly never) offer. Here’s why.

Your breast surgery choice will depend on exactly what you are looking for. Your surgeon should run through each option and explain the effect of each decision until you get something tailor-made for you.

I recently carried out cosmetic surgery on a patient who had had tummy surgery as a baby, leaving her with a large scar across the lower part of her stomach. We were able to offer this patient a tummy tuck – or abdominoplasty - a cosmetic surgery to improve the shape of the tummy area (abdomen) by removing excess fat and skin and tightening muscles.

Implants come in different profiles (i.e. heights) and in round or teardrop shapes, and can be smooth or textured. While many women may think they know what they want, a full consultation – including a 3D scan of the body to simulate what she would look like with a chosen implant and size – is crucial to guarantee the final result is as natural as possible.

For the vast majority of us – and that includes you if you have any reasonable quality scar anywhere – scar quality depends much more on what happens around the time it is healing: for instance, whether it is pulled or stretched, gets infected or if there is dead or injured tissue for your body to deal with.

As Plastic Surgeons, we see lots of people asking for lots of changes to be made to their bodies. Most of the requests are reasonable and appropriate, but quite a few are not – because of unrealistic expectations of the outcome, or psychological body image issues.

If you are considering any kind of cosmetic procedure then it is very likely you will soon be introduced to the world of postoperative garments, whether it is a bra, corset, thigh or arm compression, or some imaginative combination of each.

We are proud to have an extremely high satisfaction rate for implant selection amongst our patients, even considering subtle differences in size, height, width and projection between each side to make your result as good as possible. We achieve this through our very own 3-Step Implant Selection Process.

In most cases, not much thought often goes to those loyal, old outgoing bras and they often end up in the bin. However, one of our patients has recently brought our attention to a charity called Smalls for All, which we would very much like to support.

If you’ve been advised to stop smoking prior to your surgery but have wondered why - there are several reasons why your nicotine addiction may prevent you from healing properly, or, having your surgery done all together.

An abdominoplasty is a surgical procedure which improves the shape and appearance of the abdomen. There are several ways of performing it, reflected in slightly different names such as full or mini-abdominoplasty, fleur-de-lys abdominoplasty, lipoabdominoplasty, high lateral tension abdominoplasty and so on.

Profhilo is an injectable skin remodelling treatment containing one of the highest concentrations of Hyaluronic Acid (HA) on the market, especially formulated for people whose skin lacks volume and elasticity.

If there’s not too much fat to remove combined with good skin quality, fat removal alone will work; whereas if skin quality is poor and there’s lots of fat still to remove, the skin would need to be retightened to get the best outcome.

Breastfeeding is safe and viable with breast implants in place, and neither the volume or quality of breast milk is altered.
