25.01.2022 Needing a breast reduction at a young age? Having very large, heavy breasts at any age is a problem. They cause neck and shoulder pain, shoulder grooves from tight bra straps, make it difficult or impossible to fit clothes and bathing suits, make exercise hard, not to mention the feelings of self-consciousness. Almost every patient that decides to have a breast reduction is a happy one, and wonders why they didn't do it years before! . #breastreduction #cupsize #breastshape #breastsurgery #plasticsurgery #cosmeticsurgery #femaleplasticsurgeon #curves #specialistplasticsurgeon

22.01.2022 When your tummy bulge is more about muscle separation than skin excess an abdominoplasty is still the best solution. It restores the six pack muscles back to the midline to support your core, flatten the stomach and often help lower pack strain. And if there’s skin excess, that can be addressed too! #tummytuck #abdominoplasty #bulge #rectusmuscle #muscle separation #slimpatient #postpregnancybody #flatstomach #plasticsurgery #melbourneplasticsurgeon #femaleplasticsurgeon

19.01.2022 Balance is everything... hump reduction and increased projection and a little upward rotation of the tip for this patient has made all the difference to her facial profile. #melbournerhinoplasty #rhinoplasty #tipprojection #humpreduction #plasticsurgeon #plasticsurgery #nasalsurgery #cosmeticsurgery #facialbalance #aestheticsurgery #femaleplasticsurgeon

16.01.2022 Wish your clothes fit better? This beautiful patient had a tummy tuck and thigh reduction which helped her fit into the skirts she likes wearing at work. The thigh lift included extensive liposuction to contour her shape over the outer thighs and around the knees with skin removal from the inner thigh.

11.01.2022 Breast lift with implants reshapes the breast and replaces lost volume often the result of breast feeding. . . #plasticsurgery #breastlift #mastopexy #breastimplants #mummymakeover #breastfeeding #cosmeticsurgery #melbourneplasticsurgery #femaleplasticsurgeon #reshape

09.01.2022 Moving the upper and lower jaws is done to fix the bite (occlusion) or to fix the facial profile. These days we have access to computer software that helps us virtual plan the movements of the jaw bones before surgery. This patient’s upper jaw had been moved forwards and the lower jaw set back a little and rotated to bring the teeth into a better bite as well as improve her facial profile. #virtualsurgicalplanning #bsso #bimax #sagittalsplitosteotomy #lefort1osteotomy #doublejawsurgery #orthognathicsurgery #facialprofile #occlusion #crossbite #plasticsurgery

08.01.2022 Wondering what a Neck Lift does? There are different surgical techniques to correct different problems around the neck. There can be fat to remove, muscle to tighten, and skin to tighten or remove. Incisions are tailored depending on which of these needs to be addressed. When young, the skin is good and the problem is fat pockets. As we age there is a deflated appearance to the skin that can only be corrected with skin removal with an incision in front of the ear and around t...he ear lobe. An incision under the chin would depend on the appearance of the front of the neck under the chin and in front of the voice-box. If there is fullness here or lack of definition, sometimes this is necessary to either remove fat, or corset the platysma muscle for support and a better appearance from the side profile. #necklift #jowl #turkeyneck #necksurgery #jawline #facelift #platysma #platysmaplasty #weightloss #looseskin #necklipo #plasticsurgery #melbournesurgeon #aestheticsurgery

07.01.2022 Facial Profiling... It is so important to assess your overall facial proportions and how each component balances the other. Reducing the size of your nose can make a small chin look more in balance with the face. Or bringing the chin forward can help balance the size of the nose. . . #rhinoplasty #nosejob #cosmeticsurgery #plasticsurgery #breathing #function #airway #nasalsurgery #facialbalance #profile #chin #nose #projection #genioplasty #chinimplant #specialistplasticsurgeon #femaleplasticsurgeon #fracs #asps

04.01.2022 Breast lift or Breast reduction? If you’d like a better breast shape and aren’t sure which is for you then answer this... Are you happy with your size/volume in a bra? If you are, then you’ll just need a lift. Feel too big in a bra then a breast reduction will give you better shape and reduce volume. Feel too small and you may need an implant with a lift. #breastsurgery #breastlift #breastreduction #mastopexy #mastopexyaugment #plasticsurgery #specialistplasticsurgeon #femaleplasticsurgeon #melbourneplasticsurgery #breastshape #droopy
