Plastic surgery is an opportunity to enhance how you look and feel. There are many possibilities and each depend on your unique personal goals. Dr. McInnes is a caring surgeon with extensive training who can help deliver the results you’re looking for.
The human face is one of the most privileged areas with respect to our appearance, as unlike much of our bodies, the face conveys our beauty and emotions. There are many aspects of our facial appearance that can be altered, either to enhance natural beauty or restore youthfulness. Below is a common list of Facial Procedures:
Descent and lowering of the eyebrow is a common scenario with age, and often produces an older, fatigued appearance to the eyes. Fortunately, there are both surgical and non-surgical options for a descending brow that can help restore a more youthful and rested appearance.
Deep-Plane Face and Neck Lift surgery are the most powerful options to address the signs of aging on the face and provide you with a more youthful look. As humans age there are multiple changes which affect our facial appearance, including descent of facial fat pads, decreased facial volume, loose and inelastic skin, and even changes in our bone structure.
Deep-plane neck contouring is an aggressive form of neck contouring which can produce dramatic and lasting results not available by any other procedure.
Liposuction of the neck in the submental region (ie. just below the chin) is a great procedure for correcting mild to moderate amount of fatty excess and improving the contour on the neck. It removes fullness and can make a great improvement in the neck contour, in the right patient.
Cheek contouring is a technique used to slim down fullness in the cheeks. For patients who feel they have “chubby cheeks”, it can be a good option. The procedure involves removing some of the cheek fat through a relatively small incision placed inside the mouth.
Like elsewhere in the body, the upper lip will lengthen with age as it loses skin elasticity. A long upper lip contributes to the appearance of facial ageing. As such, an upper lip lift is an increasingly popular procedure to reduce signs of ageing (a long upper lip) and increase the appearance of full looking lips (much like lip fillers, without the repeat injections). This can also be done to improve dental show if your upper teeth are always hidden below a long upper lip.
Blepharoplasty surgery is a powerful technique to address excess skin and fat in the upper and lower eyelids. The incision on the upper eyelid is carefully hidden in the eyelid crease.
There are several options for chin augmentation that Dr. McInnes will offer, including a chin implant, deep fat grafting, or filler placement.
Plastic surgery of the ear can be done for a variety of cosmetic reasons, but is most commonly done to correct over-protrusion of the ears. Other cosmetic treatments include treating a split ear (from an earring that has pulled through), gage ear deformity (from looped rings that have stretched the ear lobule), and prominent ear lobes.
Breast size and shape are commonly associated with the female form, and remain one of the most common reasons for seeking plastic surgery. Like the rest of the body, breasts come in all variety of shapes, position, and sizes. There are many options for improving or restoring the look of your breasts, and Dr. McInnes will help you find the most appropriate solution to your aesthetic concern.
Below is a common list of Breast Procedures:
Breast augmentation surgery typically involves using implants or fat transfer to increase the size of your breasts or restore breast volume. It is commonly requested after weight loss or pregnancy
For patients who don’t want to use implants, fat grafting to the breast can be used a standalone procedure for modest increases in breast volume.
Unlike a breast reduction, a breast lift is designed to contour and shape the breast, and lift the nipple. Conversely, breast reduction surgery is aimed at aggressively reducing the size of the breasts, to help with upper back and neck pain.
There are various reasons some patients choose to have their breast implants removed, and Dr. McInnes is knowledgeable and skilled at helping these patients. Much like information about vaccines, allergies, and various diets, there is an exceptional amount of information about breast implants online, some true, but much of it false.
Patients seek correction for various conditions of the nipple areolar complex, including nipple enlargement, inversion, widened areola, and areolar asymmetry, among others. Fortunately, there are usually effective solutions to these conditions.
Breast reduction surgery is often helpful for symptoms of back and neck pain, and from bra straps that dig in to the shoulders. Significant reductions in the weight of the breasts can greatly improve these symptoms.
The human body comes in all sorts of different shapes and sizes, and changes over our lifetimes. Body shape concerns are a common presenting concern, and there are a multitude of options available. Dr. McInnes will assess your concern and help you find the most appropriate treatment option. Below is a common list of Body Procedures:
Drainless HD-abdominoplasty (aka tummy tuck) is a powerful technique to recontour the abdomen. Unlike non-invasive procedures, which are often costly and insufficient to achieved the desired results, abdominoplasty removes excess fat and skin from the abdomen that can be present following weigh fluctuations, maternity, or ageing.
Brazilian butt lift (BBL) surgery consists of two techniques to enhance the shape of the buttock. The first is liposuction, and this is done both to harvest the fat for grafting, but also to sculp out the desired shape. Liposculpting will usually take place just above the buttock in the hollow of the lower back, the flanks to accentuate the curves of the torso, and likely the abdomen and inner thighs.
Patients who have lost a very significant amount of weight, either through diet and exercise, or weight loss bariatric surgery, are often left with excess loose skin. These are some of the most pleasant patients, and they do require body contouring to “complete” their weight loss journey.
Hands are often the last telltale sign of ageing, as there can be age-spots, and prominent veins and tendons. Much like elsewhere in the body, as hands age the skin and fat thins, producing and aged appearance. Fortunately, there are treatments for this, including fat grafting to hide prominent structures and chemical peels to help refresh the skin.
Labiaplasty aims to rejuvenate the appearance of the vulva by reducing excess skin, usually of the labia minora. This can be due to ageing, changes during puberty, or congenital.
Our skin is critical to our overall appearance, as the nicest face or body often doesn’t get a chance to shine without beautiful skin. There are many skin treatment options available, both listed and unlisted, and Dr. McInnes is happy to help your find the most suitable solution to your skin care needs. Below is a common list of Skin Procedures:
Many patients have nevi or “moles” they don’t like, or various other benign lumps and bumps, and would like them removed. Dr. McInnes excises many benign and malignant lesions every week and is happy to provide this service to surgical candidates.
Many patients have scars they don’t like or would like improved. Scars that are thick, have widened, hypertrophied, or are otherwise suboptimal can usually be improved by excision and re-closure using plastic surgery techniques.
Botox (ona-botulimum-toxin A) is a neuromodulator that acts on specific nerves at the neuromuscular junction to paralyse specific muscles. Since it originally came into use for blepharospasm (twitching eyelids), its use has greatly expanded.
Facial fillers are made of a substance found in the collagen of the skin called hyaluronic acid. They’re commonly used to restore volume to the face, lips, improve facial contour, fill skin creases, and provide a more youthful appearance.
Dermabrasion is considered the “gold standard” in perioral rejuvenation for lines around the mouth.
Cosmetic procedures among men are quickly becoming just as common and mainstream as their female counterparts. Below is a common list of procedures for Men:
Facelift & necklift surgery are the most powerful options to address the signs of aging on the face and provide you with a more youthful look. As humans age there are multiple changes which affect our facial appearance, including descent of facial fat pads, decreased facial volume, loose and inelastic skin, and even changes in our bone structure.
Anti-wrinkle injections are a neuromodulator that acts on specific nerves at the neuromuscular junction to paralyse specific muscles. Since it originally came into use for blepharospasm (twitching eyelids), its use has greatly expanded.
