Body Contouring on the Gold Coast

Types of body procedures

We offer a range of plastic surgery procedures that improve the appearance of different parts of the body. In some cases, multiple surgeries can be performed at the same time, such as our Mummy Makeover package.

Explore our procedures below and contact us today if you would like more information or to book an appointment.

Tummy tuck

If diet and exercise alone are not enough to shift that stubborn stomach fat, particularly the fat that sits just below the belly button, tummy tuck surgery may be for you!

Also known as abdominoplasty, tummy tuck removes excess fat and loose skin and tightens abdominal muscles, resulting in a taut and flat tummy.

There are two main types of tummy tuck procedures: full tummy tuck or partial (mini) tummy tuck, designed to meet different needs.

Mummy makeover

Pregnancy and childbirth is a miraculous experience that shows the strength and power of the female body.

And on the journey comes tremendous physical changes to a woman’s body.

Mummy makeover is a tailored package designed to meet your unique needs; most commonly it includes tummy tuck and breast surgery such as breast augmentation and/or breast lift.

Eyelid lift

Also known as blepharoplasty, upper eyelid lift surgery is designed to remove fatty deposits from the upper part of the eye.

Drooping, heavy eyelids can make you look older and more tired than you feel.

This procedure opens up the eye area, resulting in a fresher and more alert appearance, while maintaining natural results.

Is body surgery right for me?

Consider the following to help you determine whether body surgery may be suitable for you:

• You are generally healthy and at or close to your ideal weight

• You understand that body surgery is NOT a substitute for weight loss

• You have realistic expectations from surgery

• You understand that no matter how skilled a surgeon is, they can never guarantee results.
