Abdominoplasty is performed on women and men to remove excess skin which can result from a dramatic loss in weight. Abdominoplasty can also remove stretched and scarred skin following pregnancy. An abdominoplasty is much more than a cosmetic procedure, as when performed correctly it can also restore core strength and function to the body and repair the damage done to the body during pregnancy. Dr Taylor is highly experienced in performing functional abdominoplasty surgeries.
Massive weight loss can often lead to significant skin redundancy. Once the weight is lost, the skin rarely retracts and the excess skin is left behind. Body lift surgery is designed to modify the body’s size or shape by removing this excess skin, such as to contour the waist, abdomen, thighs, buttocks, upper torso and upper arms.
Liposuction is a surgical procedure that assists in removing fat accumulations from specific areas of the body. It can be used to modify the shape of legs, buttocks and hips, waist and abdomen, breasts, chest and back, overdeveloped male breasts (gynaecomastia), the back of the upper arms, and the neck and chin.
Breast Augmentation (augmentation mammoplasty) is a surgical procedure which should be tailored to the individual. Type, size and placement of implants, as well as the method of insertion should be determined following a discussion of lifestyle, medical history and expectations. Dr Taylor has performed thousands of these procedures over the years and has seen and repaired many more.
Breast Reduction is a procedure to reduce the size of, or reshape, the breast. Breast Reduction involves the removal of excessive skin and breast material, and an elevation of the nipples. In some women the removal of only excess skin without material, or a mastopexy, may be all that is required. There are several different techniques currently practiced for reduction mammaplasty; all aim to locate these scars in as inconspicuous areas as possible.
There may come a time in a women’s life when she no longer wants breast implants. The cautious removal and reconstruction of the natural breast tissue is therefore a very important consideration.
Rhinoplasty or corrective nasal surgery is the medical term for nose surgery. A rhinoplasty can correct post-traumatic nasal deformity, congenital nasal deformity or features of the nose such as bulbous tips or dorsal humps. The procedure can also aid breathing difficulties.
Facelifts are performed on both women and men with the aim of reducing the natural changes of ageing that give rise to wrinkles and skin laxity. Excess skin is removed from the face and neck and the facial structure is tightened internally to reduce signs of ageing. Dr Taylor favours a technique which addresses the problems of cheek sagging, ‘jowling’, and lower eyelid lengthening.
Blepharoplasty is the medical term to describe eye surgery / surgery around the eye region. Upper and lower blepharoplasties are performed on both men and women to remove excess skin and fat from around the eyes. Upper blepharoplasties are often performed when upper eyelid skin obstructs vision.
As we age, the upper eyelids appear to come down and cause problems with visual obstruction. This sagging occurs mostly laterally leading to deepening crows feet lines. The problem is ageing across the forehead and descent of the eyebrows onto the upper eyelid. Brow lift Surgery lifts the forehead and upper eyelids without excessively lifting the eyebrows, restoring visual clarity.
