Operation: Bilateral gynaecomastia excision (via periareolar ni**le incision) + liposuction

Outcome: Before and 6 weeks after surgery. This patient presented with gynaecomastia resulting in a prominent chest which was out of proportion to his body.

A small spot can say a lot. If a mole or skin mark changes in size, colour, shape or sensation, it is worth getting it assessed.

Asymmetry, uneven colour, irregular borders, larger diameter, change over time, or new growth should not be ignored.

After significant weight loss, some patients consider surgery to address excess skin, skin irritation, hygiene concerns, or physical discomfort.

Not every patient is ready for surgery straight away. Stable weight, nutrition, smoking status, healing capacity, and overall health all need to be reviewed.

Dr Matthew Cheng can assess whether surgery may be suitable and discuss options based on your anatomy and goals.

Operation: Revision bilateral upper blepharoplasty with medial fat pad excision, and excision of a left nasal alar basal cell carcinoma with full-thickness skin graft reconstruction.

Outcome: Before and three months after surgery. This patient presented with recurrent upper eyelid skin excess and persistent fullness at the inner corners of her upper eyelids following a previous blepharoplasty performed elsewhere. She also had a basal cell carcinoma on the left nasal alar. I performed a revision upper blepharoplasty to remove the excess skin and reduce the prominent medial fat pads. The basal cell carcinoma was excised with clear margins, and the resulting nasal defect was reconstructed with a full-thickness skin graft. Three months after surgery, her upper eyelids show improved contour, and the skin graft has healed well.

Surgery duration: 1 hour
Admission: Day surgery Recovery: Bruising and swelling for 2 weeks

Scarring is an expected part of thigh lift surgery because incisions are required to remove excess skin. The position and length of the scar can vary depending on the amount of skin involved, tissue quality, and the surgical approach.

During consultation, Dr Matthew Cheng discusses incision placement, scar maturation, wound care, activity restrictions, and the healing process so patients understand what to expect after surgery.
