BREASTS

Breast Augmentation
A breast augmentation is a procedure that can increase the size of your breasts to enhance their shape and aesthetic appearance. Also known as a boob job or mammoplasty it usually involves implants and lifting your breasts to give a perkier, more uplifted and fuller appearance.

Breast Implants
Breast implants increase the size of your bust. The question often asked: which is better – Saline or Silicone breast implants?
What are Saline Breast Implants?
Saline breast implants are actually made of silicone on the outside but filled with saline or salt water. They are inserted first and once in place are filled with the sterile salt water.
What are Silicone Breast Implants?
Silicone breast implants are also encased in a silicone shell but are filled with liquid silicone – a thick, sticky fluid similar in consistency to human fat but is in fact a plastic gel.
Fat Transfer to the Breasts
Fat transfer for boob jobs is a more organic approach to increasing breast size as it involves the transfer of the patients’ own fat from more fatty areas to the breasts and does not require the use of any foreign material to be inserted into the body.

Breast Lift
A breast lift is also known as a mastopexy and is usually requested by women whose breasts have sagged with time due to gravity, or who have endured the unflattering side effects of motherhood. Other women may seek advice for a breast lift if they have experienced extreme weight loss, which has left their breasts ‘droopy’.

Breast Reduction
Breast reduction is also known as reduction mammoplasty and is a procedure to reduce the size of your breasts. It can assist in alleviating back pain, discomfort or embarrassment from oversized breasts.

Breast Implant Revision
Breast implants may need revision for various reasons including rupture, rippling, movement of implant and more. Generally, implants last for years, however occasionally they may need replacing or removing.

Breast Removal/Mastectomy
Breast removal is performed as part of the treatment for breast cancer, or as a preventative measure.

MUMMY MAKEOVER
A mummy makeover involves a combination of two or more procedures to assist women to regain their bodies after bearing children. The procedures usually considered in a Mummy Makeover can include breast lift/augmentation, tummy tuck (abdominoplasty), buttock augmentation, liposuction or thigh lift, but basically any procedure with intention to restore a woman’s body to what it was before childbirth. These procedures are usually performed in the one operation, under the one general anaesthetic which can assist in reducing the recovery time and give a more complete outcome at the one time.

RHINOPLASTY
Also known as a nose job, rhinoplasty is a procedure to alter the shape or size of your nose to improve its appearance, structural abnormalities or function (for those with breathing issues).

ABDOMINOPLASTY
Commonly known as a tummy tuck this is an operation that flattens the abdomen by removing excess skin and fat, and tightens muscles in the abdominal wall.

A tummy tuck can be ideal for a number of reasons including the after-effects of pregnancy, ageing or extreme weight loss. Any of these can cause skin in the stomach area to become weak and lose its elasticity, leaving it to sag and look unattractive.

LIPOSUCTION
Liposuction can also be known as lipoplasty, liposculpture, fat sculpture or suction assisted fat removal. Liposuction can be performed on almost any area of the body including the most popular areas; stomach, hips, buttock, thighs, arms and neck. It is best for shaping and contouring and is not able to remove large amounts of fat or cellulite and should not be considered a weight loss tool.

BLEPHAROPLASTY
Blepharoplasty is an operation to remove excess skin or wrinkles (“crow’s feet”) around the eye area. It can help to open the eyes and improve vision. Blepharoplasty can also mean the removal of the pockets of fat that often gather and store underneath the eyes.

BUTTOCK AUGMENTATION
Buttock augmentation, also known as a butt lift, is a very popular procedure at the moment that is performed in order to create a more rounded, lifted appearance to your bottom, or bum. It involves liposuction of fat from other areas of your body to inject into your bum to give it a fuller appearance.

FACE LIFT
The lesser known medical term for a face lift is Rhytidectomy and is performed to remove wrinkles and fine lines, signs of ageing, and excess skin which becomes stretched over time and loses its elasticity. The usual places where you can find skin like this is under the eyes, around the mouth, under the chin and around the jaw line. A good facelift can bring a more youthful and hopefully natural appearance back to the patient.
