04.01.2022 Facelift surgery, also known asrhytidectomyandmeloplastysurgery, addresses many areas of the face. As the term stands, ‘face’ and ‘lift’, it represents a procedure that is designed to counteract the effects of gravity, and with the latest modern techniques incorporating better understanding of human anatomy, it is now possible to provide long lasting results with facelift-facial rejuvenation. The surgery is no longer just lifting the descended areas and excising exces...s skin, but as we age, we lose volume to many parts on our face, and to achieve rejuvenation it is vital to replace volume to key areas of the face that reflects youth and beauty, and then re-support the face back to its pre-descended position. This is done through tissue re-positioning and lipo-filling (fat grafting). Often the facelift surgery is accompanied with other procedures such as neck lift, brow lift and upper and lower eyelid surgery to address other areas on the face that shows the signs of ageing of wrinkles and lines. It is important that your surgeon is completely trained and qualified with the Royal College of Surgeons. Intricate surgery such as facelift involves meticulous surgical technique and comprehensive anatomical understanding of the face, and even though many of the incision lines are hidden or camouflaged, trained experience is needed for best results. Dr Kwei is a fully trained Australian Aesthetic Plastic Surgeon, a fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons and affiliated with the Australian Society of Plastic Surgeons and International Society Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons.

04.01.2022 Wonderful events such as child-birth can also lead to a permanent change in your body structure, increasing the laxity around your core muscles, making it nearly impossible to re-attain a slim abdomen. And you may even experience back pain post child birth. If you have lost a significant amount of weight, unwanted lax skin can surround your chest and torso, making it difficult to exercise, find clothes and go about your daily activities. Abdominoplasty is an operation that... removes unwanted love handles around your tummy and waist, and the scar is hidden below your waistline. In this operation the loose skin and fat (love-handles) are removed, and your central core muscles are reconstituted to the midline with surgical repair. This issue is often the result of the stretch from child birth and the rectus sheath (around the 6-pack muscle) stretches further apart, and often resulting in back pain and a wide girth. This procedure is usually done with liposculpturing around the waist and mid upper abdomen to really accentuate your tummy and waist line with the aim of placing the scar along your lower abdomen, usually below the waistline. *Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. These risks will be discussed with you in detail. A second opinion is beneficial and advised.

03.01.2022 Healthy lifestyle, good nutrition, and cessation of smoking slows down the process of breakdown of skin dermal proteins, such as collagen and elastin, and also help maintain their integrity. This process can be further augmented when treatment of facial muscle with muscle relaxants are used to soften the contractions and the addition of dermal fillers to support the soft tissue. Dr Kwei has over 15 years of training and experience to accurately dial down the strength of facial muscle contraction with Anti-Wrinkle injections in order to reduce/eliminate actions that produce the signs of ageing. In conjunction with dermal fillers, he is able to produce aesthetic results, offering non-surgical brow lift, cheek and lip rejuvenation, and softening of marionette lines.
