This lady wished to improve the jowl area and redefine her jaw. Mr Ross believes that for one to be able to access the neck and the jaw sufficiently that often a full-face incision is required. Elevating the skin away from the underlying tissues allows access for the platysma muscle to be tightened directly. The repositioning of this muscle allows the jaw to be better defined and then the midface lifted higher using the SMAS tissue to give extra volume. The results are shown at a year when the scars have matured and the sensation has improved. Patients often find that for the first 6 weeks the face is very tight and there can be irregularities that take time to settle.
Excess fat which has been removed by liposuction. There is increased fat deposition on the left flank that has been preferentially removed at the same time as liposuction of the hips and buttock regions.
Excess deposition of fat of the upper thighs and in particular the inner thighs. Removal of fat in this region has improved the overall cosmesis of the upper thighs.
This lady has previously had a breast augmentation procedure and a mastopexy performed elsewhere. She developed s capsular contracture with palpability of her implants with asymmetry and ptosis/ drop of the nipple and wished to remove her breast implants. She wished to remove her implants and in doing so the skin excess needed to be removed and the breast envelope tightened. The previous scars of her mastopexy were used along with the traditional anchor incision to move the breast up the chest wall. Fat transfer has also been performed to give some volume in the upper pole at the same time as the implant removal and the skin tightening. The scars are shown at 3 months. There is still some squareness of the breast and some excess of skin in the inframammry fold that will continue to improve over the coming months.

This gentleman has lost a lot of weight and is now weight stable. He is very active and cannot reduce his weight further and cannot shift the excess skin. He has excess skin all the way around his abdomen and flanks and buttocks. A bodylift has been performed and the results seen at 2 months postop. These scars will continue to improve with massage. A bodylift such as this can be performed in under 3 hours without drains and patients mobilized immediately. With help from the physio someone who is fit and well like this gentleman can be walking around the ward with help on the evening of surgery. This early mobilization helps to reduce the chance of DVT / PE.
This lady has had a bodylift. She has a low scar in order to help remove the excess saddlebags and improve the excess skin of the lower abdomen. The scars are seen at 3 months and will continue to improve with massage and scar treatments. A bodylift is the only way to treat the excess saddlebags and help to re-define the hips and waist. This lady is now able to wear the clothes she previously was too embarrassed to try on and her quality of life has been improved.
Significant weight loss often leads to unusual distributions of excess skin that need to be approached on an individual basis. This lady had a lot of excess that was positioned in the lower abdomen, upper buttocks and thighs. In this scenario, a body lift with positioning of the scars in the lower abdomen / buttocks and thighs has allowed as much excess skin to be removed while not compromising wound healing or the position of the scars long term. This lady is pictured at 6 months following her body lift. The scars of the anterior abdomen are progressing well. Often the scars around the flanks and buttocks which are more difficult to massage can become thicker and patients do need to try and spend extra time concentrating on the scars on the flanks and buttocks.
A body lift can remove a significant amount of tissue and the results shown have been achieved in one operation. Because of improved techniques / staff / care the operative time for this procedure is now around 3 hours and patients no longer require drains. Patients are mobilised immediately after surgery and usually go home within 24 hours of surgery. Extremely good results can be obtained from body lifting the correctly chosen patient.

This lady has previously had a breast augmentation procedure performed elsewhere. She developed s capsular contracture with palpability of her implants with asymmetry and ptosis/ drop of the nipple and wished to remove her breast implants. It is important for patients to discuss the pros and cons of lifting and mastopexy at the same time as implant removal. This lady opted just to have her implants removed and consider breast lifting as a second stage. Often this is very sensible way to proceed and the results are seen at 6 weeks.

It is very important for anyone undergoing body contouring surgery to be at their ideal weight prior to surgery. This lady has achieved her ideal weight but has significant excess of fat in her abdomen and flanks. Liposuction in combination with abdominoplasty can help reduce the excess of fat especially in the upper abdomen and the flanks. Abdominal wall tightening helps to improve the contour and once the excess skin has been removed the scar can be placed as low as possible. The scar in this lady is seen at 3 months post op and will continue to improve. This lady has seen a great improvement in her contour and is able to fit into clothes that she has previously felt unable to wear. Her quality of life has been improved and in the correctly selected patient abdominoplasty and liposuction can give improved results.
