22.01.2022 Are you considering plastic surgery? Making the decision to go undergo a cosmetic surgery shouldn’t be taken lightly. Did you know that anyone with a basic me...dical degree can perform cosmetic surgery in Australia, without undergoing specialist surgical training? Becoming a Plastic Surgeon takes years of additional training and experience after a medical degree. In Dr Moncrieff’s case, he invested 17 years in total in training and an additional aesthetic fellowship, and has been in practice for 12 years since. That’s nearly 3 decades in medicine! The best way to check if someone is a qualified Plastic Surgeon is to look for the full initials FRACS (Plas Surg) after their name. You can also visit the Australasian Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons - ASAPS website and check their member register.

22.01.2022 There has recently been a lot of discussion on social media regarding the capsule that forms around breast implants and how it should be treated. Our latest blog has been written by Dr Kalus in response to this. You can access this here: https://www.avenueplasticsurgery.com.au/understanding-the-c

21.01.2022 Breast tissue is made up of two distinct components. There is the breast glandular tissue which is the milk producing part and there is the breast fat which is made up of fat cells just like those in other parts of the body. Often women with small breasts have sufficient glandular tissue to be able to breast feed as this tissue grows during pregnancy. What is missing is an excess of fat around the glandular tissue and this results in breasts that may be seen as too small. Breast cancer develops in the glandular tissue and not in the fat tissue. A fat transfer procedure augments the fat tissue and has no effect on the glandular component of the breast.

20.01.2022 Have you met Meagan? She is our experienced and caring Practice Nurse & Patient Educator. Meagan is an integral part of our team who wears many hats! She is a wealth of knowledge and supports our patients from the start of their journey, through surgery and beyond!

20.01.2022 This patient only required a Mini Tummy Tuck. The results speak for themselves.

20.01.2022 REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT: Here we show the before and after photographs of a woman who had her first implants at the age of 24. Over the next 40 years she had her implants removed and replaced with other implants several times. She came to us so we could remove her implants all together and replace them with her own fat. The implants removed were 240 cc and the fat grafted was 210 cc. If one looks closely at the before and after photographs, one can see that the roundness associated with breast implants is gone and that the cleavage produced by fat transfer is far more natural looking. Not only does she have an excellent result 6 weeks following her surgery, but she can expect her breasts to grow in the future to an even larger size.

17.01.2022 There are many benefits to fat transfer including: - Silicone free augmentation - Your breasts will feel completely natural (because they are!) - Liposuction of the hips, thighs and abdomen can help to balance your figure - Less scarring. Only tiny incisions are required as the fat is transferred by injection

17.01.2022 Dr Kalus’ 2 year old grandson mastering some skills... we wonder how he will handle a scalpel?!!

16.01.2022 A case of a woman with Silicone Implants who developed BII (Breast Implant Illness) She stated that she felt like a different person following removal of her implants and replacement with Autologous Fat.

14.01.2022 If one is to achieve optimum results with breast reduction surgery, it is imperative that the surgeon have a comprehensive scar management program. At Avenue Plastic Surgery we start with an LED Light Therapy the day prior to surgery. The surgery is then designed so that minimal tension is placed on the scars. The scars are all sutures with subcuticular (invisible) sutures. But the wounds are then all stitched with invisible (subcuticular) sutures. A wound dressing consi...sts of Betadine and micropore tape. All scars are taped for 12 weeks. All of our patients are prescribed Doxycycline for 2 weeks. This is not only an antibiotic but has important anti-inflammatory properties. Celebrex is also used to reduce inflammation. Following surgery, patients undergo a further 9 LED Light treatments. Not only does this reduce bruising and swelling but it also results in rapid healing with minimal scars. These photographs show a woman 5 months following her breast reduction surgery. Note that it is not the pattern of breast reduction that is used (e.g. a lollypop, anchor etc.) but the attention to wound healing that results in the best quality scars.

14.01.2022 We are thrilled to expect to be able to resume surgery on September 28! Face to face consultations will also be available, however we will still be offering Zoom for patients to prefer that.

13.01.2022 This 50 year old woman had McGhan 245 cc round textured implants inserted 9 years ago in China. The implants were inserted through a hemi periareolar incision and place in front of the pectoral muscles. Prior to her implant insertion she used to wear an A cup bra. So she had very little breast tissue and had stretched skin as a result of breast feeding her daughter. A few years after her implants had been inserted, she noticed that her breasts began to feel hard. Sub...sequently they actually became painful although she had no other symptoms of Breast Implant Illness. The operation was done thorough the same hemi periareolar incision and the implant was found to be surrounded by a firm fibrous capsule. The capsule could be easily dissected from the surrounding breast tissue without bleeding or deformation but was firmly adherent to the implant causing distortion. A total En Bloc capsulectomy was performed together with removal of the implants. On removing the implants from the firm fibrous capsules, the implants were found to be intact, even though an ultrasound had suggested they had ruptured. She elected not to undergo any other type of breast reconstruction at this stage. See more

13.01.2022 Did you know that Gynacomastia affects almost 40% of men? Every man is born with a small amount of breast tissue. In some men, this can become enlarged due to a hormonal imbalance. At Avenue Plastic Surgery, we specialise in a minimally invasive approach to male breast reduction. Your surgeon may recommend liposuction or a minimally invasive incision. Book a consultation to discuss which is best for you.

11.01.2022 HIGH FILTRATION SURGICAL MASKS are back in stock and available via the our online Avenue Skin Store . At Avenue Plastic Surgery we have arranged for the manufacture of Surgical Face Masks made from Sterilisation wrap. This material is used to wrap surgical instruments prior to sterilisation so that they remain sterilised for long periods of time. The properties of Sterilisation Wrap are similar, if not superior, to the properties of the material used in the manufacture of... N95 masks. Our Face Masks are designed not only to prevent droplet dispersion but also to protect the wearer. They are reusable and can be hand washed. We are pleased to be able to supply these face masks to our family, friends and valued customers. Visit our store. https://bit.ly/32rlNac

01.01.2022 Can breast implants make you ill? After many years of denial, surgeons are realising that the answer to this question is a resounding YES. Especially textured breast implants! Today I saw a woman for her 3 month post-operative review. I had taken out her textured silicone implants. Her breasts were then reconstructed by grafting her own fat to replace volume and a breast lift to tighten her stretched skin.... Not only was she very happy with the appearance of her new all natural breasts but she remarked that she felt so much better since her implants had been removed. Although she never thought of herself as a person suffering from Breast Implant Associated Illness, she said that that her terrible headaches had gone, the vagueness that she had been experiencing had gone, her energy levels had increased and she was no sleeping so much better since her implants had been removed. So, YES she said, I feel much healthier now that my implants have been removed. I never even realised at the time that my symptoms could have been caused by my breast implants. Interestingly, pathological examination of the capsules around her implants showed chronic inflammation. The implants were not leaking. It is my opinion that it is this inflammation of the capsule (which is especially severe around textured breast implants) that causes the symptoms we now recognise as Breast Implant Associated Illness.

01.01.2022 No. There may be a little tingling in the nipples for a few weeks after the surgery, but nipple sensation is not altered by this procedure. - Dr Allan Kalus
