Our next vlog discusses excess skin removal after weight loss with a mummy makeover plastic surgery. Many women develop excess skin in their abdominal region when they go through dramatic weight loss, especially after pregnancy. Therefore, they’ll be looking at ways of how to tighten loose belly skin after weight loss.

In this video, we go into more detail about how a mummy makeover plastic surgery can help to remove the excess skin removal after weight loss and how methods can be combined with the procedure for better results. Also, further details are shared on the way a breast reconstruction using fat transfer can be used to rejuvenate the breasts during the mummy makeover plastic surgery.

A case study is provided showing a patient going through a mommy makeover, with before and after pictures. In the pictures, you can see how much loose abdominal skin has been removed after the surgery has taken place. The patient also decided to have breast reconstruction using the fat transfer procedure so that her breasts appear fuller than what they originally were.

Make sure you’re ready for eyebrow lift surgery

An increasingly popular facial rejuvenation procedure is eyebrow lift surgery. Otherwise known as a brow lift, this procedure is designed to rejuvenate the area above the eyes.

As you age you may find that your brow has become droopy, resulting in a ‘moody’ looking expression left constantly on the face. A brow lift can address this issue and leave you with a youthful looking upper eye/brow area.

Unlike eyelid rejuvenation procedures such as upper blepharoplasty, the purpose of eyebrow lift surgery is to lift the brows. In turn, this gives a more youthful appearance to the upper face.

Why choose brow lift surgery?

Patients may choose to undergo eyebrow lift surgery as an anti ageing facial rejuvenation treatment. This procedure can help to open up the eye area and upper face, giving a softer and ‘happier’ appearance.

It is also sought by patients with naturally sagging or low brows. For that reason, the average age of patients undergoing a brow lift varies. This is a surgical procedure and, therefore, comes with the same risks as any invasive procedure.

What happens during this procedure?

The ‘open’ brow lift is the more traditional technique, where an incision is made at ear level going along or slightly behind your natural hairline.

The skin is lifted, some of the tissue underneath is removed and the muscles are tightened before removing excess skin and closing the incision.

You can find out more about eyebrow lift surgery itself on the treatment page.

Is there a non-surgical alternative?

If you wish to try a non-surgical brow lift, there are ways of transforming the brows with injectables like dermal fillers and muscle relaxing injections. This cosmetic treatment is non-invasive.

‘Botox’ is a medical toxin that is strategically placed around the eyes, most commonly above the eyes, in order to lift the brow. A wider-eyed appearance is just one of the numerous benefits this kind of facial rejuvenation treatment can offer.

The other benefits of using Botox around the eyes can include improving droopy eyelids and lifting the eyes.

A consultation is recommended to ensure you understand the risks associated with surgery of this nature, as well as the rewards it offers, and you’ll have the chance to ask any questions you may have.

Brow lift cost

Brow lift cost differs from patient to patient. Each person will need a tailored procedure, and some require more technical work than others.

When it comes to brow lift cost, most patients agree the results make the cost worthwhile. You can find out more about eyebrow lift surgery and fees via the brow rejuvenation treatment page.

A step by step guide to breast augmentation recovery

When considering a boob job, having an understanding of breast augmentation recovery is vital. Breast enlargement surgery is an invasive procedure as will require a recuperation period.

Mr Ross performs may breast enlargement and rejuvenation procedures every year. The most popular remains breast augmentation, which is designed to make the breast bigger using implants.

Understanding the breast augmentation aftercare stages is helpful in ensuring a swift and safe recovery. Every patient is different, so it’s important to note this will not be exactly the same for every woman.

Below you will find some commonly asked questions to help you make sense of breast augmentation recovery, and how to maximise your recovery period.

If you have any other questions you can email the clinic.

What happens straight after breast augmentation surgery?

Immediately after breast augmentation surgery you’ll be taken to a recovery ward. How long you stay here depends on your surgical outcome, and how well you respond to the anaesthetic.

You will be in bandages and will not be able to drive. It’s advised you have a family member to help you leave the hospital.

Does it take a long time to recover from a breast augmentation?

This is entirely down to the patient and the surgical outcome. Initially, patients may experience some discomfort and swelling post surgery. You will not immediately be able to tell the results of breast augmentation surgery due to bruising and swelling.

You’ll be given breast augmentation aftercare advice upon leaving the hospital. This will include washing, sleeping and clothing guidance. If you follow the advice given by your surgeon you can expect to have a swift recovery.

Can I do anything to speed up my recovery?

Not specifically. But you can do things to aid your recovery. Following the aftercare advice is very important to avoid infections and complications post breast augmentation.

Do you have any breast augmentation aftercare advice?

Wear your post-surgery garments as instructed. Take the time to recover, and let the body heal. Ask for help from family or friends, and avoid excessive movements initially.

It’s also important to massage your scars. There’s more information on this in this recent blog post on scar massage.

When can I go back to work?

Usually within 2-4 weeks of breast augmentation surgery.

When can I exercise again?

Usually within 2-3 weeks, but it should only be light exercise like swimming.

What changes should I expect aside from physically?

Sensation usually changes following breast augmentation and the nipples may be hyper or hypo sensitive. It is uncommon to have permanent changes in sensation but can take a number of months to return back to normal.

Due to the recent pandemic of COVID-19, there have been strict measures announced by the government to ensure everybody’s safety. Therefore, we have taken up the difficult decision to close our surgery until further notice. This decision has been taken based on the government’s health guidelines.

Our main priority is to ensure your safety and the people around you. By staying at home, we can all ensure that this is the case. Therefore, all non-essential aesthetic surgery and treatments will be suspended for the time being.

During this period, we will be contacting all of our patients regarding the current situation with consultations. We will stick to the commitment to remain in contact with you during this time of uncertainty.

Please stay safe.

Are non-surgical aesthetic treatments classed as essential treatments?

Non-surgical aesthetic treatments are not essential treatments. This is the main reason why we have taken the decision to close our surgery until further notice. Although many would see these as essential treatments to improve the quality of life, this is not the case.

All businesses that provide non-surgical and facial treatments have currently suspended their practices. This is because these forms of treatments have a high risk of transmission of the Coronavirus. If you don’t adhere to the guidelines provided, you will be putting your own safety at risk as well as others around you.

Will I still be able to attend consultations with you?

Due to the current uncertainty, we have temporarily suspended face-to-face consultations. Despite this, we are still assessing options to provide virtual consultations for you. However, you must be made aware that this does not provide any guarantees in relation to your cosmetic surgery treatment. Once we have more clarity of the future, we can provide an update moving forward.

Due to these changes, we are in the process of contacting all patients we have on our list at the moment. We’ll be advising patients to cancel their future consultations and provide further guidance around them.

Once we have a process in place to provide virtual consultations, we will make you aware of this.

Are there treatments for COVID-19?

It’s always important to provide awareness in these uncertain times. However, social media platforms have unfortunately been riddled with fake news and advice also. Treatments have been offered which claim to treat for COVID-19. The WHO is currently evaluating all these treatments, checking whether they’ve been used for previous viruses or if there are any new antibody treatments.

You must take care when reading information online and not experiment with drugs that are being offered. Instead, we should only utilise the information released by the WHO and The Department of Health. As clinicians, we’ll also be doing the same when advising our patients on treatments that are available. You should not be spreading information or advice on treatments or attempt to self-treat yourself unless advised by WHO and The Department of Health.
