Brandon Adams Plastic Surgery

Excess skin and fatty tissue in the upper arms may be surgically removed to improve the shape of the arms and improve the fit of clothing.

Excess skin is removed and tailored to fit the smaller body underneath. The improvement in arm shape is exchanged for scars where the skin is removed. Incisions are placed on the inside of the arm which hides them when the arm is by your side but they are visible when your arm is lifted up (when waving). In appropriate cases, small reductions can be performed with a scar concealed in the armpit. Arm lifts are performed under general anaesthetic in a private hospital. Complications of surgery include long or visible scars, wound healing problems, stretched scars, residual folds of skin or stretch marks, and stretching of skin post operatively due to loss of elasticity in the skin.

 A low or heavy brow may give the eyes a tired or aged look. Lifting or stabilising the brow is aimed at reducing the weight of the brow and improving the appearance of the forehead and area around the eye.

Isolated brow droop (ptosis) can be corrected by lifting the brow and suspending it firmly at a higher position. Brow lift is commonly performed in conjunction with face lift and eyelid lift surgery. The lateral temporal suspension brow lift is where the weight of the brow is relieved by suspension sutures to balance the rejuvenation of a blepharoplasty or to complement the improvement in the cheeks and jowls achieved by a facelift. Complications of brow lift surgery include bruising, over correction or under correction, asymmetry, and injury to the nerve that lifts the eyebrow.

 Adolescent males and men of all ages can experience excessive growth of breast tissue which can cause embarrassment and social isolation.

Mr Adams performs a thorough history, examination and investigations to ensure that the cause of your breast growth is understood. Once this is understood the options for improvement of this condition are discussed. Common techniques used include liposuction, surgical excision of glandular and fatty tissue, and when needed, excision of excessive skin and/or nipple reduction and re-positioning. Sometimes staged surgery is needed to get the best result. Undertaking surgery to improve body image and confidence can be psychologically challenging and patients need to be well prepared.

Large or uncomfortable labia can be reduced to change the appearance and reduce discomfort caused by larger labia minora.

Enlarged labia may cause embarrassment with a sexual partner or discomfort in tight clothing, during sporting activities or during sexual intercourse. Some women are born with larger labia, or develop enlargement with age or childbirth. Those who dislike the large size of their labia minora may be suitable to have labial reduction surgery (labiaplasty). There is a wide range of normal labial size and shape. Mr Adams will assess you and discuss what options may be suitable for you if surgery is indicated.

A neck lift is usually performed with a face lift to tighten folds of skin under the chin. Excess fat can be removed with liposuction or direct surgery. In mild conditions the neck may be treated by itself.READ MORE

A careful assessment of your goals and an examination of your neck and face are the key to ensuring the right stategy for you. Mr Adams will focus on your particular situation and develop a safe and appropriate plan for addressing your concerns. Excess fat can be removed with liposuction or direct surgery; the skin is re-draped; and the excess skin is excised with scars placed in inconspicuous places. Complications of neck lift are similar to those of face lift surgery.

Excess skin and fatty tissue from the thighs may be surgically removed to improve the shape of the thighs and improve the fit of clothing.

Excess skin is removed and tailored to fit the smaller body underneath. The improvement in thigh shape is exchanged for scars where the skin is removed. Incisions are placed on the inside of the thigh. In appropriate cases, small reductions can be performed with a scar concealed in the groin only. Thigh lifts are performed under general anaesthetic in a private hospital. Compression garments are worn afterward to get the best results. Complications of surgery include long or visible scars, wound healing problems, stretched scars, labial splaying, residual folds of skin or stretchmarks, and stretching of skin post operatively due to loss of elasticity in the skin.

Unwanted folds of skin and fat on the tummy (abdomen) may be removed to improve the figure and the appearance of the abdomen. Stretch marks on the lower abdomen may be removed.

Abdominoplasty is an operation for treating excess skin and some underlying fat. It is sometimes combined with liposuction when there is excess fatty tissue as well as skin. The skin over the abdomen is lifted up, any hernia or muscle weakness repaired and then skin re-draped, and the excess removed. The tummy button is repositioned. The operation requires a general anaesthetic and an overnight stay in hospital. Complications of abdominoplasty surgery include long scars on the abdomen, a scar around the tummy button (umbilicus), wound healing problems, collections of blood or fluid (seroma), asymmetry, irregular contour of the skin and underlying tissues.
