Brazilian Tummy Tuck

Brazilian Tummy Tuck vs Standard Tummy Tuck I have just been asked to talk about the Brazilian tummy tuck. There are often catchy names and new techniques that come out and I can see how someone considering a tummy tuck might want to know about the latest developments.

Why Would Anyone Have Breast Implants?

Why Would Anyone Ever Want To Have Breast Implants? I keep seeing adverse publicity about breast implants in the media. Whether it be breast implant illness, ALCL or a celebrity with out of proportion breast implants or with visible rippling or strange looking breasts.

It is a way to remove fat without having surgery (or dieting). I’ve spoken to the companies and studied the technologies. The science behind […]

Liposuction for Man Boobs

Liposuction for man boobs (or gynaecomastia, which is the medical term) is the mainstay of treatment. However, it is often not enough to perform liposuction on its own. Man Boobs are caused by an excess of breast tissue in a male, and males have breast tissue as well as females. Breast tissue is made up […]

Special Announcement re: Breast Implants

You may have heard news about a recent decision by the French authorities to withdraw certain types of breast implants from the market. The implants affected are textured silicone and polyurethane foam implants. The decision has been made because of a link between this type of implant and a rare form of cancer called ALCL.
