Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery
Plastic and reconstructive surgeons at the San’s day surgery facility in Hornsby provide the full range of surgical procedures required to alter, correct or enhance a person’s physical appearance. Plastic and cosmetic surgery services are provided for both adult and paediatric patients and may be used to correct congenital abnormalities, restore features post trauma or to satisfy personal preferences.
Specialist plastic surgery services
The team of plastic surgeons at our North Shore private hospital facility have extensive experience in reconstructive surgery, as well as providing diagnostic surgical procedures and cosmetic surgery. Plastic and cosmetic day surgery services fall broadly into three categories:
Diagnostic surgery: involves procedures used to identify or confirm a medical condition or disease. Diagnostic surgeons typically take tissue samples, explore internal structures to assess abnormalities or to help visualise and diagnose specific medical issues. Common examples of diagnostic surgeries include all types of skin cancer surgery, the removal of cysts and the removal of other benign lesions.
Reconstructive surgery: looks to restore function and/or appearance of body parts or tissues, which may be the result of injury, trauma, surgery or congenital defects. Reconstructive surgeons work to repair or rebuild the damaged areas to reinstate bodily functions. Common types of reconstructive surgery includes skin grafts, breast reconstruction after cancer treatments, or reconstructive surgical procedures following removal of benign and malignant skin lesions.
Aesthetic surgery: is more commonly known as cosmetic surgery and is used to enhance a person’s appearance by altering body features, generally without involving any underlying medical issues. The goal of cosmetic surgery is often to improve improving proportions, symmetry or to give a more youthful appearance, aimed at enhancing a patient’s confidence and self-esteem.
Cosmetic surgical procedures to enhance physical appearance include:
- Face and neck lifts: to give a more youthful appearance, cosmetic surgeons can tighten the skin and underlying tissues of the face and neck, reducing the signs of aging.
- Blepharoplasty: more commonly known as eyelid surgery, this procedure is used by the eyelid surgeon to correct saggy or droopy eyelids; removing the excess skin gives the eye a more alert appearance.
- Breast augmentation or reduction: alterations to the size, shape, or position of the breasts may be either by breast augmentation (enlarging with implants or fat transfer) or reduction; may be used to restore symmetry, cater to individual preferences or to alleviate discomfort.
- Liposuction: to reshape areas of the body, liposuction surgeons remove excess fat deposits; common areas are the abdomen, thighs, hips, or arms.
Other types of cosmetic surgery available include the revision of scars and other facial and body deformities to restore or enhance visual appearances to promote an individual’s self-confidence.
Comprehensive care
Our comprehensive approach to cosmetic and plastic surgery begins with the pre-operative evaluation, conduct of the surgical procedure, followed by post-operative care, with all phases focused on delivering optimum patient comfort and well-being in comfort of the private hospital setting.
Following cosmetic surgery, we ensure our patients are closely monitored in a recovery area and provide detailed instructions for post-operative care. This may include post-surgery medications, or protective measures to be observed during the healing process.
