Body SURGERY on the Gold Coast

Types of body procedures

We offer a range of plastic surgery procedures that change the appearance of different parts of the body. In some cases, multiple surgeries can be performed at the same time, this is known as combined surgery.

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

Abdominoplasty

Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) involves the removal of excess fat and loose skin as well as the adjusting of abdominal muscles. It can be suitable in many cases, including following significant weight loss.

There are two main types of abdominoplasty procedures: full abdominoplasty or partial (mini) abdominoplasty, designed to meet different needs. Read more below.

Combined Surgery

Combined surgery is designed to meet your unique needs; most commonly it includes tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) and a breast surgery such as breast augmentation mammoplasty and/or breast lift mastopexy.

Combined surgeries are customisable and will be made to be best suited to you, as determined following your consultation with Dr. Hertess. 

Eyelid lift (blepharoplasty)

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

This procedure can target vision issues that exist due to excess skin on the upper eyelid.

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 goal 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.
