Removes excess breast tissue, fat and skin to reduce the size and weight of the breasts and reshape them. It is often considered for physical discomfort such as back, neck and shoulder pain, as well as for appearance.

Raises and reshapes sagging breasts by removing excess skin and repositioning the breast tissue and nipple. It can be combined with an implant where appropriate.

Increases breast size or improves breast shape and balance, most commonly with breast implants. Implant size, shape and position are chosen together with you, based on your anatomy and goals.

Rebuilds the shape of the breast after mastectomy or other breast surgery, often for breast cancer. Options include implants, your own tissue, or a combination, and timing can be planned around your cancer treatment.

Removes breast implants, with or without the surrounding scar tissue, and may be combined with a breast lift to reshape the breast. Reasons for removal differ from patient to patient.

Treats enlarged breast tissue in men (gynaecomastia) by removing excess glandular tissue and fat, and sometimes skin, to create a flatter, more masculine chest contour.

Removes localised pockets of stubborn fat to improve body contour. It is a contouring procedure and not a treatment for weight loss.

Removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen and tightens the abdominal muscles where needed, for a smoother, firmer contour. It is often considered after pregnancy or weight loss.

Removes excess skin and fat from the upper arms to create smoother, firmer contours. It is often considered after significant weight loss.

Removes excess skin and fat from the thighs to improve their shape and contour. It is often considered after significant weight loss.

Removes the loose, excess skin and tissue that can remain after major weight loss and cause discomfort, skin irritation and difficulty with clothing. Treatment is planned around the areas that concern you most.

Repairs and restores the appearance and function of areas of the body affected by injury, including complex wounds and soft-tissue loss.

Rebuilds tissue removed during cancer surgery, restoring shape and function using techniques such as local tissue, flaps or grafts. Planning is coordinated with the rest of your treatment team.

Removes skin cancers and repairs the area afterwards, aiming to clear the cancer while preserving as much function and appearance as possible.

Improves the appearance or function of a scar, for example one that is raised, widened, tight or uncomfortable, by revising it surgically or using other treatments. The best approach depends on the scar, and results vary.

Treats raised, overgrown scars (keloids) that extend beyond the original wound. Management may combine surgery with other treatments to reduce the chance of the keloid returning.

Treats the effects of burn injury, including wound closure, skin grafting and later reconstruction of scars and tight areas of skin, to restore movement and function and improve appearance.

Reconstructive surgery for conditions present from birth, such as cleft lip and palate and other differences of the face, hands or body, to improve function and appearance.

Raises drooping brows and softens forehead lines, so the upper face looks more open and rested.

Eyelid surgery that removes excess skin and, where needed, fat from the upper or lower eyelids to refresh the eyes and, in some cases, to improve vision blocked by drooping lids.

Shortens the distance between the nose and the upper lip to show more of the upper lip and refine its shape.

Botox softens expression lines by relaxing specific facial muscles, and dermal fillers restore volume and refine contours. Neither involves surgery, and results are temporary, so treatments are repeated over time.

Assessment and removal of lumps and bumps in the skin and soft tissue, such as fatty lumps (lipomas). Any new or changing lump should be checked, and removed tissue is commonly sent for laboratory examination.

Removal of cysts, such as sebaceous or epidermoid cysts, that can become sore, infected or bothersome. Removing the whole cyst helps reduce the chance of it returning.

Removal of moles, whether because a mole is changing or concerning, or because it is bothersome or you would like it removed. Removed moles are commonly sent for laboratory examination.
