Get the Tummy You’ve Always Wanted

At Cosmetic Surgery For Women, we have had an increasing number of patients request this procedure as awareness of this solution is increasing.

Women have varying reasons for why a tummy tuck would be an appropriate solution. The most common concerns of women requesting a tummy-tuck are:

- Feelings of self-consciousness, embarrassment or shyness due to abdominal appearance
- Rashes below the abdomen
- Back discomfort or pain
- Inability to exercise, play sport of lose weight as a result of abdominal size
- Difficulty in buying clothing due to imbalance in body proportions.

Such is the commonality of these issues, this procedure can be completed on both men and women, but at Cosmetic Surgery For Women, this surgery is performed exclusively on women.

In brief, the procedure is the removal of excess fat and skin and lax underlying muscles are tightened. We usually also include liposculpture as part of the procedure to further improve your shape. This often results in a flatter and firmer abdomen.

The procedure is not a replacement for weight loss but is useful particularly after having children or undergoing large weight changes and it may be the first step to a less self conscious and more healthy lifestyle. Obtaining a flatter tummy is the dream of many women and tummy-tuck can help you achieve this. However, patients must note that although tummy tuck surgery results are long lasting they may not be permanent as lifestyle choices can greatly affect results.

The best candidates for a tummy tuck are patients who are in good shape, but with loose abdominal skin. If there is a large fat accumulation on the abdominal wall, especially along the upper part, liposculpture may be required as a primary procedure before the tummy tuck to remove the fatty layer. Women who are planning future pregnancies may be advised to wait, as the vertical muscles in the abdomen that are tightened during surgery will separate again during subsequent pregnancies.

Are you considering breast enlargement surgery?

Cosmetic Surgery For Women, Melbourne ’s premier cosmetic surgery, offers patients a natural breast augmentation procedure with a fully tailored preparation plan and complete after care. Breast augmentation is a straightforward procedure where recovery is rapid and improvement in confidence almost immediate.

In addition, there are many reasons why women want to have this procedure completed. The most common concerns of women who visit us wanting breast augmentation are:

- self-consciousness, embarrassment or shyness
- Returning to their pre-baby breast and body shape
- Difficulty in buying clothing due to imbalance in body proportions
- Dislike of breast size during breast feeding
- Wanting the breasts they had before children

Women of all ages are considering undergoing breast augmentation surgery, as it is entirely normal for women to want to look and feel their best. Breast Augmentation is our most popular cosmetic surgery request. Breasts are an important part of femininity and for those women who wish to have larger, fuller, more feminine and attractive breasts, help is available and we offer many choices.

There are many options available to you. All modern implants have a silicone outer shell but have various surface textures, fillings, sizes and shapes. The implants we use have all been given official clearance for implantation by the TGA (Therapeutic Goods Association of Australia). Realise that each woman is different and what may be appropriate for one woman may not be appropriate for another. A full consultation with us will enable you to visualise which specific series of options will be best and give you the correct information necessary to make an informed decision.

We also have free information seminars held at the Epworth Hospital that focus entirely on Breast Augmentation.

Who Makes Your Experience First Class

Myself and Miss Paterson perform the world class surgery inhouse to all our female patients but we recognise that behind good surgeons are an excellent team there to create the seamless approach you experience.  Here are the other people that contribute to making Cosmetic Surgery For Women a first class experience for you.

Surgical Assistants: Surgical Assistants work with the surgeons in theatre, so Mr Rubinstein and Miss Paterson are fully supported for the duration of a treatment.  At Cosmetic Surgery For Women, we have flexible resources to accommodate any complicated procedures should they arise.

Anaesthetists: The Anaesthetists keep you in complete comfort.  They get you sedated for your procedure and maintain that state throughout the treatment.

Nurses: Our surgical nurses, take care of you in immediate preparation for your surgery, during surgery and when you are in recovery.  Your nurse is an invaluable asset to you during treatment.

Practice Manager: The practice is a complex place with patients, doctors, suppliers and staff all needing to be aligned for the operation to work seamlessly.  The practice manager is the key member of the team to make this happen.

Practice Support Team: Our support team deal with all other operational aspects to the practice such as scheduling to make the practice run smoothly.

Are there any other people who would be considered part of our team.  There probably are and this is a good place in which to thank them and makes prospective patients like yourself realise that a surgery is not run with just one person

Keys To Surgery Successes

Many people are apprehensive when it comes to surgery, especially elective surgery such as cosmetic surgery.  Many women undertake cosmetic surgery just once in their life and for that reason it is important that prospective patients realise that there are cosmetic services and results that can vary greatly. There are ways of significantly reducing your risk just by doing some research.  This research needs to be undertaken before selecting your surgeon and finally deciding to undertake treatment.

Qualification of the Surgeon: For major procedures the only surgeons with the appropriate formal training are Fellows of the Royal Australian College of Surgeons (FRACS) who are in turn eligible to become members of the Australian Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS). No other doctors receive such formal training. Both myself and Miss Jane Paterson are fully qualifed to this level.

Experience of the Surgeon: It is important that the surgeon specializes in your procedure. Ask how many such procedures they have performed in the past 12 months. Ask what complications they have had and how they have dealt with them. I alone have performed over 2000 breast enhancement, breast reductions, breast lift and tummy tuck/liposculpture procedures in the past 10 years of professional practice. These procedures are his area of specialty and he has never had a mal practice action brought against him at any time.

The Best Surgical Procedures: Ensure your procedure will be completed in a wellequipped, safe and properly registered and resourced surgical facility. It must be capable of dealing with all aspects of your surgery. This should ideally be a hospital with a full range of emergency equipment in the event of any unforeseen circumstances.  Cosmetic Surgery For Women keeps abreast of all the breakthroughs in cosmetic surgery testing new techniques and materials, ensuring clients receive the very best treatment available.

A Full Surgical Team: You should insist upon the presence of not just an appropriately qualified surgeon but also an anaesthetist (with qualifications recognized by the State Medical Board), a surgical assistant and a full theatre nursing team.  Cosmetic Surgery For Women have this as standard with more resources available as and when necessary.
Lifetime Support: Insist that your surgeon is committed to looking after you through all stages of your surgery, including recovery and long-term follow up.  At Cosmetic Surgery For Women, each patient goes through an initial consultation, surgery preparation, recovery and after-care support.

Treat the Whole Person: Cosmetic surgery is a very personal decision that is undertaken for many different reasons. It is important that your surgeon (and their team) understands this and deals with you as an individual. This supportive environment is very important before your procedure and may be even more important afterwards.

Benefits of Choosing A Specialist

Being a specialist cosmetic surgeon is a vital component to our current success.  We discovered that there are so many fields of cosmetic surgery available with many elements that it would be impossible to claim to be experts at all treatments. And in doing that would do all of our clients a disservice.  Because Cosmetic Surgery for Women specialises in few procedures that are very popular among women we are able to complete them expertly. Because of this specialisation we are uniquely qualified to address your individual aesthetic concerns regarding these procedures.

At Cosmetic Surgery for Women we only provide the most popular cosmetic surgery procedures. It also means of course, that your surgeon only performs surgery among these procedures, so becomes a true expert in them.  We are dedicated to providing you with the very best care and advice possible. It is our goal to provide you with the most accurate and comprehensive information available, to ensure that you can make the very best decision possible for you.
This is the work of a true specialist and not a surgeon who is a jack-of-all-trades.
