Breast augmentation is one of the most frequently performed cosmetic surgery procedures.  It is usually performed in order to improve breast size and shape in women who have by nature a relative small breast, or who have experienced a decrease in breast size following pregnancy, weight loss and/or with advancing age and desire a fuller breast appearance.

 T

he operation consists of making an incision (4-5cm), usually in the natural crease below the breast.

A pocket is created, within which the implant is placed.

The operation takes about 45 minutes to 1 hour, under a combination of general and local anaesthetic.

Breast augmentation generally has no consequences on fertility, pregnancy or ability to breast-feed.  There is no conclusive medical evidence in support of implants causing breast cancer, or being responsible for the onset of connective tissue disease.  When mammograms or other investigations are required, special views may be needed.  Implants can sometimes actually make lumps easier to feel.

Extremely droopy and pendulous breasts can be a major source of embarrassment.  Apart from difficulty of finding clothes that fit and look elegant, they tend to interfere with sports.  In addition, breast pain and shoulder discomfort and backache are prevalent and the weight of the breasts make the bra straps dig in over the shoulders.  These difficulties may sometimes be severe enough to impair normal respiration and to a lesser extent, there is also the tendency towards skin problems especially within the crease of the breasts.  With time they will droop causing the skin to become stretched and nipples displaced.

Breast reduction is a major operation.

Several techniques are used but they all cause significant scarring.

Functional and aesthetic considerations figure in the selection of a specific procedure.

The popular method leaves a scar, which runs around the edge of the nipple (areola), and one in the crease underneath the breast and a vertical scar linking the two.

These scars are not visible outside an ordinary bra or bikini top.

Although in most patients they fade in time but they do not disappear.

Before the operation, the new site for the nipple is marked on each side. Generally this is a few inches above the original nipple.

This procedure involves reducing the breast skin and restoration of normal contour, including replacement or repositioning of the nipple to a new level consistent with the remaining breast.

Bat ear is an inherited condition where one or both of the ears may not grow into the normal shape.  Often, the size, shape and position of the normal ear is most often a familiar characteristic.  Deformities of the ear are also of similar nature, including conditions, which present variations of cartilage and contour and the protruding ear, especially when both sides are involved.

Children are often subjected to callous remarks, whilst adults may not express such attitudes openly, but instead harbour sensitivities that were present during childhood, often project feelings of self-consciousness, rejection and hostility.

Surgical intervention is often very helpful in improving the ears and can be performed quite effectively as early as four, five or six years of age, although it may not be possible to achieve an entirely normal appearance, especially in the worst cases.

In adults the operation is often performed with a local anaesthetic.

The operation is performed, by repositioning or otherwise altering the flexible cartilage structures.

The ultimate aim of surgery is to reduce the protrusion and at the same time, to provide a normal configuration when the ear is viewed from the side.

Incisions are generally placed behind the ear where any remaining surface scars are required; these are often placed inconspicuously within the normal contours.

Following the operation, a total head bandage (turban-type) is necessary so that both ears can be protected, swelling minimised and discomfort limited.

The head dressing is ordinarily worn for 5-7 days after which time the remaining swelling will gradually subside.

Thereafter, a headband (e.g. tennis headband) is worn for a few weeks at night.

Some variations in management should be anticipated, depending largely upon the specific correction undertaken.

Nose is the most prominent feature of your face, second only to your eyes. Its size and shape may be the most defining characteristic of your face. If you are unhappy with your nose, you are not alone. Every year hundreds of thousands of people through out the United Kingdom elect to improve the appearance and/or function of their nose through nose surgery or Rhinoplasty. Some people want a different size or shape. Others want to repair damage caused by injury. And some just want to breathe easier. If you have been wondering how nose surgery might change you looks, improve your self- confidence or your breathing; you should schedule a consultation with a qualified surgeon.

The ideal nose varies form face-to-face depending on the skin type, ethnic background, age and other variables. During your initial cosmetic consultation, your surgeon will discuss other concerns about your nose, your expectations, and explain the probable outcome of your procedure. We will show you several before and after treatment photographs of patients having similar noses, and will explain the treatment you can receive. Before and after photographs will be taken to document your results.

Before making the decision to have rhinoplasty, ask your surgeon if there are any additional procedures that may enhance the effects of your nose surgery. Many patients elect to have chin or cheek implants to enhance and balance their facial features.

Abdominoplasty is a 3 dimensional sculpting procedure that helps to return the abdomen to an appealing shape, along with strengthening of the associated muscles. This is often complimented with lipoplasty that provides an all around improvement involving the front and side of the abdominal area.

Substantial weight loss, muscle weakness following multiple pregnancies, single pregnancy with a large baby, or heredity can all contribute to loose, wrinkled abdominal skin and excess fat in the abdomen. In most cases diet and exercise alone cannot remove the skin laxity or muscle weakness that comes from pregnancy and/or weight fluctuations.

In the case of a protruding abdomen with marked excess fat and lax skin, it is recommended to have a 2 staged procedure for maximum improvement. Liposuction to remove the excess fat is performed as the first stage, followed by abdominoplasty, to remove the lax skin and tighten the muscle.

Abdominoplasty is recommended only after family completion (no further pregnancies).

Abdominoplasty is a major surgical procedure that tightens the abdominal skin (removes excess skin), when necessary, can reduce fat and modify muscles. It will also help reduce stretch marks on the lower abdomen.

Women who have had pregnancies, may have developed a condition called diastasis (diverication of rectus muscle) in which the muscles of the abdominal wall have separated vertically and cannot return to normal; this can also be successfully treated at the time of abdominoplasty. Hernias can also be repaired during the surgery.

The best results can be achieved by careful attention to incision placement, skin and fat removal, recreating a natural umbilicus (belly button) and proper but not excessive tightening of the loose stomach muscles.

If you are wondering if you could benefit from chin and/or cheek implants, call our office and arrange a consultation.

Facial implants have proven to provide a safe, predictable, low-cost risk cosmetic surgical procedure. To date, millions of facial implants made from non-toxic materials such as silicone and expanded polyteraflouroethylene [ePTFE] have been implanted, with no reported cases of allergic reaction. The implants, designed specifically for use in the midfacial cheek area and the chin come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. These implants can be custom-trimmed by your surgeon for a more natural fit.
