Procedures

Breast reduction removes breast tissue and excess skin to reduce breast size. The breasts are also lifted and the nipple repositioned.

Mastopexy reshapes and lifts the breast by removing excess skin and repositioning the nipple.

Breast augmentation uses implants to restore or increase breast volume, and can improve breast shape and proportion.

Augmentation mastopexy combines a breast lift with implants to address breast position and volume in one surgical plan.

Breast implant removal is often combined with a mastopexy (uplift), which reshapes the patient’s own breast tissue to restore and enhance natural shape.

Breast asymmetry surgery uses an individual combination of techniques to address differences in breast size, shape or position.

Breast lipomodelling transfers a patient’s own fat to the breast to refine contour, restore volume selectively, or address asymmetry.

Inverted nipples can be corrected by eversion procedures, which are usually performed under local anaesthetic as a day case.

Abdominoplasty removes excess abdominal skin and can tighten separated abdominal muscles to create a firmer abdominal contour.

Liposuction removes localised fat deposits from stubborn areas which may not respond to diet and exercise.

Brachioplasty removes excess skin and tissue from the upper arm to improve contour, commonly after weight loss or loss of skin elasticity.

Thigh lift surgery removes excess skin and tissue to improve the contour of the thighs, often after significant weight loss.

A body lift removes circumferential excess skin and tissue around the lower trunk to improve contour after major weight loss or significant skin laxity.

A mummy makeover is an individual combination of breast and body procedures planned to address changes following pregnancy and childbirth.

Labioplasty surgery refines the contour and symmetry of the labia minora, in patients who have discomfort or other symptoms.

Lipomas are common benign fatty lumps which can be symptomatic or unsightly. They are usually amenable to removal under local anaesthetic.

Upper blepharoplasty removes or reshapes excess upper-eyelid skin and, where appropriate, fat to improve the upper-eyelid contour.

Otoplasty reshapes or repositions prominent ears to bring them into a more balanced relationship with the head.

Earlobe surgery may entail repairing split or stretched earlobes, or reducing the size of large earlobes.

A lip lift shortens the distance between the nose and upper lip to increase upper-lip show and alter lip proportion without adding filler volume.

Selected moles and benign skin lesions may be removed by shave or formal excision depending on their features, location and clinical assessment.

Nipple reconstruction surgery restores a projecting nipple mound following nipple sacrificing mastectomy. It is usually done following breast reconstruction.

Breast reconstruction restores breast shape after mastectomy or other breast surgery. This can be achieved using implants, but the ‘gold standard’ is using the patient’s own tissue.

Reconstruction after skin-cancer removal aims to restore form and function while respecting the requirements of complete cancer treatment.

Breast symmetrisation uses individually tailored surgery to improve breast symmetry following cancer surgery and/or radiotherapy.
