Plastic Surgery
About the Speciality
Our Department of Plastic, Reconstructive & Microvascular Surgery offers comprehensive care for both functional and cosmetic needs, handling routine aesthetic procedures as well as complex reconstructions that other centres may refer to. Our surgeons are trained in microvascular “free tissue transfer” for head and neck reconstruction. We treat congenital differences, trauma and burns, cancer-related defects, hand conditions and complex vascular problems, and provide a full suite of cosmetic options from rhinoplasty and eyelid surgery to liposuction and non-surgical skin treatments. Supported by a craniofacial unit, dedicated burn services, lymphedema care and specialist operating theatres, the team works closely with oncologists, ENT, maxillofacial and rehabilitation specialists to plan each case.
Relevant diseases
& conditions
Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a "tummy tuck," is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the abdominal wall and tighten weakened or separated muscles (diastasis recti), resulting in a smoother, firmer abdominal profile.
Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that alters the shape, size, or function of the nose. It can be performed for cosmetic enhancement, functional improvement (e.g., breathing difficulties), or reconstructive purposes (e.g., trauma repair).
Reconstructive Surgery
Reconstructive surgery is a branch of plastic surgery focused on restoring form and function to body structures affected by congenital defects, trauma, infection, tumors, or other diseases. It aims to improve both physical appearance and functional capability through surgical repair and tissue rearrangement.
Botox Injections (Botulinum Toxin Type A)
Botox injections involve the controlled administration of purified botulinum toxin type A, a purified neurotoxic protein derived from Clostridium botulinum, used in highly controlled medical doses, to temporarily inhibit acetylcholine release at neuromuscular junctions. This results in targeted muscle relaxation or paralysis, with both cosmetic and therapeutic applications.
Procedures & treatments provided
Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)
Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the abdominal area while tightening the underlying muscles. It's particularly beneficial for individuals who have experienced significant weight loss or women who have had multiple pregnancies, as these situations often result in stretched skin and weakened abdominal muscles that cannot be improved through diet and exercise alone. The procedure creates a flatter, more toned abdominal profile and can dramatically improve body contour.
Blepharoplasty
Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure to correct excess eyelid skin, muscle, or fat for functional or cosmetic purposes. It can improve the visual field in cases of upper eyelid redundancy, reduce eyelid heaviness, or rejuvenate the eyelid appearance. The surgery involves making skin crease incisions on the upper or lower lids, removing or repositioning fat and skin, and is performed under local or general anaesthesia. Small dissolvable sutures are typically used. Preoperative assessment includes visual field testing, eyelid measurements, photography, and evaluation for anaesthesia fitness. Postoperative care ensures proper healing and minimal complications.
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation, also known as augmentation mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to increase breast size, improve breast shape, or restore breast volume lost after weight reduction or pregnancy. It's one of the most popular cosmetic procedures worldwide, with options including silicone gel implants, saline implants, or fat transfer. The procedure can address concerns such as naturally small breasts, loss of volume after pregnancy, asymmetry between breasts, or breast volume loss after significant weight loss.
Breast Reduction (Reduction Mammoplasty)
Breast reduction, or reduction mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess breast fat, glandular tissue, and skin to achieve a breast size more proportionate to the body. It's commonly sought by women with overly large breasts (macromastia) who experience physical discomfort including chronic neck, shoulder, and back pain, skin irritation, poor posture, and limitations in physical activity. Beyond physical relief, breast reduction can significantly improve self-image and quality of life. The procedure can be performed on both women and men with gynecomastia (enlarged male breast tissue).
Facelift (Rhytidectomy)
A facelift, technically known as rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure designed to reduce visible signs of aging in the face and neck. It addresses sagging skin, deep creases, loss of facial fat, and weakened muscle tone that develop with age. Unlike non-surgical treatments that address surface concerns, a facelift targets the deeper structural tissues for more dramatic and longer-lasting results. Modern techniques focus on natural-looking rejuvenation rather than the "pulled" appearance sometimes associated with older facelift methods. The procedure can be tailored to address specific concerns and may be combined with other procedures such as eyelid surgery or brow lift for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
Liposuction
Liposuction is a body contouring procedure that removes localized fat deposits from specific areas of the body that are resistant to diet and exercise. It's not a weight loss solution but rather a method to improve body proportions by targeting stubborn fat pockets. Common treatment areas include the abdomen, flanks ("love handles"), thighs, hips, back, arms, and chin. Modern liposuction techniques have evolved to include various technologies such as tumescent liposuction, ultrasound-assisted liposuction (UAL), and laser-assisted liposuction (LAL), each offering specific benefits for different fat types and body areas.
Rhinoplasty (Nose Job)
Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a nose job, is one of the most frequently performed cosmetic surgical procedures worldwide. It's designed to reshape the nose for aesthetic improvement or to correct functional problems such as breathing difficulties. The procedure can address various concerns including the size of the nose in relation to facial balance, the width of the bridge, profile irregularities, nasal tip characteristics, and nostril shape. Rhinoplasty can significantly enhance facial harmony and boost self-confidence while potentially improving respiratory function.
