Over the course of our lives the skin above our eyes becomes looser and can appear to overhang. Aesthetically, this can affect confidence; functionally, in more serious cases, it can impede vision. An upper blepharoplasty, also known as upper eyelid surgery, is a procedure that allows us to address this.
Over the course of our lives the skin above our eyes becomes looser and can appear to overhang. Aesthetically, this can affect confidence; functionally, in more serious cases, it can impede vision.
An upper blepharoplasty, also known as upper eyelid surgery, is a procedure that allows us to address this. An incision is typically made along the natural crease of your eyelid, where we remove a strip of excess skin, muscle and fat to recontour the eyelid, creating a refreshed eye.
Procedure time:
Results: Become more apparent as the swelling subsides post-operatively, revealing a rejuvenated eye area
Downtime: It’s advisable not to bend down or do any exercise until the swelling subsides, but you should be back to your usual routine within a week or two
Anaesthetic: Local Anaesthetic
Longevity: Blepharoplasty aims to rejuvenate the eye area, however the eyelids will naturally continue to age over time
As we age, the delicate skin around our eyes naturally loses elasticity, resulting in reduced support. A lower eyelid blepharoplasty aims to rejuvenate the lower eyelid area and can issues such skin laxity, hollowing of the lower lid area or fat excess.
As we age, the delicate skin around our eyes naturally loses elasticity, resulting in reduced support and the appearance of under-eye bags and crow's feet, or laughter lines. We can correct this, effectively smoothing out the skin to create a more youthful appearance, with a lower blepharoplasty, or lower eyelid surgery.
This surgery involves making precise incisions, either just below the lash line or inside the lower eyelid to remove or redistribute excess fat and skin; the choice of technique depends on your specific concerns and desired outcomes, which we can discuss in a consultation.
Procedure time:
Results: Become more apparent as the swelling subsides post-op, revealing a rejuvenated eye area
Downtime: Recovery time varies, but most people can resume normal activities within a week or two
Anaesthetic: Local or General Anaesthetic
Longevity: While creating a more rejuvenated, youthful appearance to the lower eyelid area, this area will continue to age with time.

An abdominoplasty involves making a precise incision across your lower abdomen, allowing excess skin and fat around your tummy to be carefully removed, before delicately tightening the skin and your abdominal wall muscles.
Procedure time:
Results: A flatter and more toned abdomen will be seen immediately post surgery. However, full results may not be visible for several months until swelling subsides.
Downtime: It’s advisable to take it easy for the first few weeks post-op, avoiding strenuous exercise for six weeks and heavy lifting for three months
Anaesthetic: General Anaesthetic
Longevity: Excess skin and fat are permanently removed. However, changes in abdominal tissue can be influenced by age, weight gain, pregnancy and exercise
A lipoabdominoplasty is a cosmetic procedure that merges liposuction with a traditional abdominoplasty, removing both excess fat and skin in the abdominal area while also tightening the underlying muscles. It’s becoming increasingly popular for those looking for more comprehensive contouring and sculpting of their abdomen

It’s becoming increasingly popular for those looking for more comprehensive contouring and sculpting of their abdomens.
In liposuction, small incisions are meticulously made in the areas you wish to target stubborn fat, allowing a cannula to be inserted to break down and vacuum out fat cells. Then the traditional abdominoplasty is performed, surgically removing excess skin, to enhance the overall shape of your abdomen.
Procedure time:
Results: A flatter and more contoured abdomen
Downtime: Recovery time for a lipoabdominoplasty is around four weeks. It is advisable to wear a compression garments for a minimum of 6 weeks to minimise swelling and support the healing process. Strenuous exercise and abdominal exercises should be avoided for 4 weeks post- operatively
Anaesthetic: General Anaesthetic
Longevity: Excess skin and fatty tissue are permanently removed. However, changes in the abdominal tissue can be influenced by age, fluctuations in weight, pregnancy and exercise
Our tummies, hips, thighs, arms and buttocks are areas that are typically tricky to contour through diet and exercise alone – liposuction is an effective way of removing stubborn fat, reshaping targeted areas and boosting overall body confidence.

Traditional liposuction involves making precise incisions at the desired points, allowing a cannula to be inserted that breaks up and removes fat deposits. Vaser liposuction is less invasive, using ultrasound technology to selectively target fatty tissue and break it down. As this method is more precise, it can create a more sculpted look. Both techniques can deliver excellent results; which one to choose depends on you and your unique goals, which I will consult with you on.
Procedure time:
Results: A flatter and more contoured abdomen
Downtime: Varies depending on technique and the individual. It’s advisable to avoid strenuous exercise for six weeks after liposuction
Anaesthetic: General Anaesthetic
Longevity: Excess fat is permanently removed, and results are permanent, provided that weight remains stable
Whether due to significant weight loss or via a loss of skin elasticity as we age, it’s common to experience sagging skin in our upper arms. A brachioplasty, commonly known as an arm lift, is a cosmetic procedure designed to improve the contour of this area by removing excess skin and fat, creating a more toned, sculpted appearance.

It might be that your breasts did not develop in the way you’d like aesthetically or that over the course of your life their shape and volume has changed; this surgery can improve symmetry, increase size or restore fullness, and alter shape to improve self image.
There are multiple options for breast augmentation, depending on your desired outcome. Silicone implants can be placed either under your breast tissue or chest muscle; fat transfer injections are another option, where fat is taken from somewhere else on your body and injected into your breast for a subtle enhancement. The combination of the two procedures is also available; fat injections can be used in conjunction with implants to add natural-looking fullness and shape.
Procedure time:
Results: Greater breast volume and enhanced breast shape
Downtime: Vigorous exercise should be avoided for six weeks post surgery; two weeks post injections
Anaesthetic: General Anaesthetic
Longevity: Implants may need replacing over the course of your lifetime

Whether it’s a desire to return to your natural breast size or a preference for a different size or type of implant, your existing implants can be removed to match your current aesthetic goals.
During the surgery, an incision is made at the same location as the initial augmentation to minimise additional scarring. If your implants are being removed, a breast lift is also an option to address any sagging or excess skin that might result from a smaller sized breast. For implant exchange, new implants are inserted, and the placement is adjusted to achieve your desired outcome.
Procedure time:
Results: Reduced breast volume or enhanced breast shape
Downtime: Vigorous exercise should be avoided for six weeks post surgery
Anaesthetic: General Anaesthetic
Longevity: Breast implants may need to be replaced over the course of your lifetime
