Procedures
We understand that having surgery is a big decision and we want our patients to be fully briefed on the details of surgery and have the assurance that they are in safe hands. We therefore place great importance on our consultation process and patient care.
Throughout the consultation, surgery and aftercare process, you will be seen by Lisa Sacks personally as we believe that our relationship with you is paramount. We offer at least two consultations before any major surgery is performed; you have access to before and after photographs of our past patients and the opportunity to speak to them in your own time. Patient satisfaction is our principle consideration and we therefore follow up our cosmetic surgery patients for five years post surgery – all free of charge. We enjoy a high level of loyalty from our patients and a significant number of our patients come to us on recommendation.
We perform a number of procedures and would be happy to discuss them in greater detail with you. For our more popular surgeries, please follow the in-depth pages on the right of this page.
Abdominoplasty or Tummy Tuck
This procedure is where excess skin and fat around the abdomen is removed surgically. In most cases it includes the closure of your abdominal muscles that might have become herniated from pregnancy and weight-gain, allowing for a more aesthetic result and in some cases, the alleviation of back pain.
Reduction Mammoplasty or Breast Reduction
The surgical removal of excess weight from your breasts. This procedure is performed with a vertical scar (also called the lollipop-scar) and elevates the nipples at the same time as reducing the size of your breasts. This procedure can also symmetrise differently sized breasts.
Mastopexy or Breast uplift
This procedure is for women who want to reposition their nipples and change the shape of their breasts, without changing the size of their breasts. Scarring is minimised by using the vertical scar technique, ensuring a pert shape for longer.
Breast Augmentation or Breast Enlargement
This surgery is for women who want bigger breasts, by using an implant. You have the option of different shapes and size increases depending on your requirements and lifestyle.
Macrolane or Non-Surgical Breast Enhancement and Re-shaping
Macrolane is a new application of a filler injection that has been around for years and allows the breasts to be increased by one cup size without the need for an implant or general anaesthetic and without long recovery periods. This is a temporary solution and requires top-up treatments.
Rhinoplasty or Nose Re-shaping
Rhinoplasty surgery alters the shape and size of your nose. In addition to improved aesthetics, this surgery also often improves breathing problems.
Facelift and Necklift Surgery
Facial rejuvenation surgery to remove excess skin and give the face and neck a more youthful appearance. This surgery is often combined with a browlift and/or eyelid surgery.
Blepharoplasty or Eyelid Surgery
Blepharoplasty surgery can be performed on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids or both. Excess skin, muscle and fat is removed as relevant to create a more youthful and refreshed appearance of the eyes.
Skin Lesions and Scar Revisions
We perform the removal of skin lesions for cosmetic and medical reasons. This normally involves a surgical outpatient appointment under local anaesthetic. Lesions are normally sent away for histology. We also offer scar revision surgery, either from previous surgery or from accidents. Scar revision surgery is unique to every patient.
Labia Plasty
This surgery removes excess in the labia minora and involves surgery under general anaesthetic with one week of bed rest. Please contact the practice for more information.
