Tumescent Liposuction at Renew Plastic Surgery

Liposuction is a very useful and versatile surgical procedure to reduce fatty deposits in many areas of the body.  It is one of the most commonly performed cosmetic surgery procedures in the world. Liposuction is not used as a weight reduction technique, but rather is used to treat specific areas of contour deformity or fat deposition that have resisted the efforts of diet and exercise.

Large breasts can be a significant burden for many women.  They can cause neck and back pain, shoulder pain from bra straps, problems with rashes and infections beneath the breasts, difficulty with exercise and attempts at weight loss, and problems with finding correctly fitting bras and clothing, especially if the breast size is out of proportion to the rest of the body. 

Many women are unhappy with the size and shape of their breasts, whether from a lack of development, or from the changes associated with pregnancy or ageing. 

An abdominoplasty (or tummy tuck) is an operation performed to reduce the bulk of the lower abdomen.  At Renew Plastic Surgery in Melbourne we routinely perform the tummy tuck procedure on patients seeking a flat and smooth tummy. This excess tissue is very common after pregnancy, and also after weight loss.

Breast reconstruction involves making a new breast mound using either a breast implant or the patients own tissues.  Breast implants can be filled with either silicone or saline, and may need a preliminary stage of gradual inflation over time to allow the tissues to stretch before inserting the final prosthesis.

Most commonly due to a combination of pregnancy, breastfeeding, and the effects of gravity, some womens breasts will drop from their original position on the front of the chest.  Although the volume may remain sufficient, without the support of a good bra the shape of the breast is often disappointing and can lead to a lack of confidence, especially when it comes to wearing swimwear.

Regardless of the cause, gynaecomastia can cause significant emotional distress and embarrassment, and a lack of self-confidence, especially during the summer months or during activities such as swimming when the contour of the chest is visible.

With ageing, many of the support structures of the face, including the skin and muscles, tend to sag or loosen.  A face and neck lift can improve the appearance of the jaw line and lower face, and the shape and contour of the neck, by repositioning and tightening the deep supporting structures of these areas. At Renew Plastic Surgery in Melbourne we can help improve the appearance of your face and neck with our unique treatment designed to tighten and contour.

Our goal is to produce a nose that appears natural, functions properly, and is in harmony with the rest of your face.  Your wishes about the type of nose you want are listened to carefully, and you will be given a realistic appraisal as to what can be achieved with surgery. 

The eyelids can develop excess skin that droops over the upper eyelids or falls loosely under the lower eyelids.  Some of the fatty tissue behind the eyelids can also bulge out, creating the appearance of ˜bags under the eyes.  This can create the appearance of tiredness or sadness, and can even result in partial obstruction of vision. 

This procedure is designed to improve the appearance of a ˜heavy or ˜tired upper face, and can also be of benefit in situations where the upper eyelids are also ˜heavy.  The aim is to tighten and lift the brow and to open up the area around the eyes.  The forehead is usually smoother, the eyebrows are elevated to a more pleasing level, and the eyes are opened up, making you look more refreshed and awake

Bodylift surgery can dramatically improve your abdominal silhouette and the contour of your buttocks, arms, thighs, breasts, and pubic area.  It also removes a significant amount of weight that is carried in the excess tissue.

This surgery aims to sculpt and shape the cartilage of the ear and to reposition the ear closer to the scalp.  Although there is no ˜normal ear shape, this surgery aims to alter the shape of the ear so that it appears more ˜average and will no longer be noticed as being different.
