During an initial consultation, Dr Benjamin Norris will discuss the facial surgical options that may be appropriate for your individual circumstances, which may include a limited lower facelift. He will take a full medical history and discuss your expectations for surgery, which forms an important part of assessing whether a facelift procedure is suitable for you.

A limited lower facelift focuses on the lower face and jowl area specifically, and is one of several approaches Dr Norris may consider depending on an individual's presentation. If a surgical approach is not considered appropriate, Dr Norris may discuss alternative options during the consultation process, including the option of not proceeding with any procedure.

Here you can see an example of Dr Norris' patient one year after a limited lower facelift.

If you'd like to discuss your suitability for the treatment, get in touch with our friendly team.

Cost varies between patients and can differ between Sydney and Bella Vista depending on where your surgery is performed. It depends on what the procedure involves, the type of anaesthetic, and hospital fees. Costs can also change if additional steps are needed, such as gland removal, liposuction, or skin tightening. Medicare and private health insurance may apply in selected cases.

The most accurate way to understand what costs may apply to your situation is to book a consultation with Dr Norris, where a detailed quotation is provided.

Combining gynaecomastia correction with other surgical procedures may be possible, but whether it is appropriate is assessed entirely on an individual basis.

Several factors are taken into consideration. These include the patient's overall health and fitness for surgery, the total time the combined procedures would require under anaesthetic, what the recovery period would involve, and whether the demands of recovering from multiple procedures simultaneously are manageable for that individual. In some cases, combining procedures is a reasonable and suitable option. In others, Dr Norris may recommend staging procedures separately - planning them at different times to allow for full recovery between each one, and to reduce the overall demands on the body.

These questions are all worth raising during the consultation process, where Dr Norris can assess what is realistic and appropriate for each patient individually.

Reach our to Form & Face team if you would like to discuss your individual consultation or discuss additional questions.

Recovery from breast reduction mammoplasty looks different for every patient, but understanding what the general process involves can help with planning and preparation.

Most patients can expect some degree of swelling, bruising, and discomfort in the initial weeks following surgery. A supportive surgical garment is worn during recovery, and activity is reintroduced gradually based on how each patient is healing.

Dr Norris provides detailed post-operative instructions tailored to each individual, and follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor progress throughout recovery.

If you're wondering whether surgery might be suitable for you, please contact Form & Face to arrange a consultation with Dr Norris for individual assessment and advice.

A question Dr Norris is often asked: can gynaecomastia be addressed without surgery?

The answer depends entirely on what is causing the enlargement.

In some cases, identifying and managing a contributing factor, such as a medication, supplement, or hormonal change, may be sufficient. Where the primary concern is excess fatty tissue, weight management may also play a role.

However, where established glandular tissue is present, or where there are significant skin changes, non-surgical options are generally limited in what they can achieve.

This is why Dr Norris begins with a thorough assessment of each patient before any approach is discussed. Understanding the cause is central to determining what, if anything, can be done, and what the most appropriate path forward looks like for that individual.

Y can contact Form & Face to arrange a consultation with Dr Norris to review your history, imaging and options in detail.

Calf augmentation is a procedure that can be approached in more than one way, and the difference matters.

During an initial consultation, Dr Norris evaluates each patient individually to determine whether a calf implant, fat grafting, or a combination of both is the most appropriate option. This assessment takes into account the patient's existing anatomy, degree of asymmetry, overall health, and what they are hoping to address.

If you would like to discuss your suitability for this surgery or have any questions, please get in touch with our friendly team to book a private consultation with Dr Norris.

Can I plan a pregnancy after surgery?

It is one of the more personal questions patients ask before considering breast reduction mammoplasty - and it is an important one.

The short answer is: yes, pregnancy after breast reduction mammoplasty is possible, but there are several things worth understanding before making any decisions.

Depending on the surgical technique used, the procedure may affect a patient's ability to breastfeed. During breast reduction mammoplasty, the ni**le and ar**la are repositioned on the chest wall. In most cases, the blood and nerve supply remains intact - however, in more extensive reductions, this may not always be possible, and some patients may experience changes in ni**le sensation.
It is also worth knowing that pregnancy and breastfeeding can change the size and shape of the breasts over time, which may affect long-term surgical results.

This does not necessarily mean the procedure is not right for someone who may wish to have children in the future - but it is a conversation worth having in full before proceeding.

Dr Norris discusses all of these factors openly during the consultation process, helping each patient weigh their options with complete information.

Brachioplasty is not a single, fixed procedure. The approach Dr Norris takes depends on the nature and degree of each patient's concern, and is determined through careful assessment at the initial consultation.

Generally speaking, the type of incision used will depend on how much excess skin and tissue needs to be addressed. Incisions are most commonly placed under or at the back of the arm. In some cases, excess tissue can also be addressed at the armpit, or the arm can be lifted and tucked in that area instead.

Brachioplasty is also frequently performed alongside liposculpture of the surrounding tissue, where this is considered appropriate for the individual patient.

If you have any questions or would like to book a consultation with Dr Norris, our team is here to help.

Brachioplasty, also known as an arm lift, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin from the upper arms. It is often considered by patients who have experienced significant weight loss or general skin laxity in the upper arm area.

As with all cosmetic surgery, suitability is highly individual. A thorough consultation with Dr Norris is the first step in understanding whether this procedure is appropriate for you, what the process involves, and what recovery may look like.

31/03/2026

A breast lift with implants, also called mastopexy with augmentation, is a combined procedure that both reshapes the existing breast tissue and adds volume with an implant. It may be considered when there is breast ptosis (droop) together with a loss of upper pole volume, which is common after breastfeeding, weight changes or natural ageing.

During consultation, Dr Norris examines your breast shape, ni**le position, skin quality and chest wall, reviews your medical history and previous surgery, and discusses your goals. Based on this assessment, he explains the surgical options, incision patterns and implant choices, including whether a dual-plane, subglandular or submuscular pocket may be suitable for your anatomy.

The patient shown here is six months after mastopexy with implants.

If you would like to discuss whether mastopexy with implants might be suitable for you, feel free to reach out to the team at Form & Face to arrange a consultation.
