There are many reasons why a woman may wish to have a breast augmentation. Many women wish to restore a youthful look through breast surgery after the effects of age, pregnancy and lactation surface. Others women may wish to achieve breasts of a size, shape or symmetry that they have always wanted.

Dr Clarke will carefully consider your desired outcome alongside factors such as your current breast tissue and body weight in order to define the best implant size and placement, and create a beautiful result.

A breast lift is a cosmetic surgery procedure that elevates and reshapes breasts. This procedure may also be combined with the insertion of breast implants to restore or enlarge breast size as desired.

Dr Clarke uses the most up to date mammoplasty techniques (vertical or short scar technique) and will give you beautifully contoured breasts with minimal scarring, relieving the day-to-day physical problems of large breasts at the same time as improving your body image and self-confidence.

Surgery removes glandular tissue and reduces fat from the breasts to improve contour and give a more masculine appearance.

The most common type of nipple surgery is to resolve the issue of inverted nipples in one or more breasts. This issue can be a concern for women due to aesthetic reasons and can also cause significant breastfeeding difficulty. Surgical correction restores nipple projection and depending on the severity of the nipple inversion, Dr Clarke can also preserve the milk ducts thereby improving the ability to breastfeed.

A tummy tuck or abdominoplasty is a cosmetic surgery technique to address the problems of excessive loose abdominal skin and/or bulging of the abdominal wall due to muscle weakness or separation. These issues are often due to changes following pregnancy but they may also occur after weight loss or simply with ageing. The outcome of a tummy tuck is a flatter, firmer abdomen with an improved contour and greater abdominal strength.

Dr Clarke is an expert in the latest tummy tuck techniques and has worked with internationally recognised surgeons in abdominoplasty including Dr Pollock in Dallas USA, who pioneered the progressive tension suturing technique. In select patients this avoids the need for drains following abdominoplasty, results in less postoperative discomfort, earlier discharge from hospital, faster recovery and scar minimisation.

The surgery allows a return to normal body form and skin function and allows patients to fully take advantage of their changed physique.

The main use for anti-wrinkle injections is to improve lines around the eye, eyebrow and forehead. Carefully placed injections (Botox®, Dysport®) temporarily weaken the specific muscles which cause lines, smoothing the overlying skin and reducing the appearance of wrinkles. With the right surgeon, it is an extremely effective and safe way to achieve a more youthful and relaxed appearance.

These injections are also used in a variety of medical treatments such as migraine and excessive sweating.

Blepharoplasty improves the appearance of tiredness and ageing by removing excess skin, tightening loosened support structures and removing fat, achieving a more youthful and vital result. Dr Clarke has a subspecialty interest in plastic surgery around the eye (oculoplastics) and offers the most up-to-date techniques for this type of cosmetic surgery.

The effects of aging, gravity and sun exposure may result in the eyebrows descending down. Brow lift surgery repositions the eyebrows and restores a more youthful appearance.

Dr Clarke ensures that your face lift will leave you rejuvenated, with the appearance of vitality and youth, rather than the stretched look so commonly seen in magazines. He uses careful decision-making in consultation with yourself and expert surgical skill to discreetly restore your youthful
self – giving you the opportunity to look the age you feel.

Fat grafting (from another part of the body) is an elegant and very effective method of restoring or creating new volume in the face and unlike synthetic fillers, it is permanent.

The ear is settled closer to the head by manipulating the cartilage through a small incision in the back of the ear, leaving an inconspicuous scar.

Scar revision surgery or scar management is performed on old scars to minimise and disguise scars, improving the appearance and also restoring normal function to an area, for example by reducing excess skin tightening caused by scarring.

There are many types of non-cancerous skin lesions including moles, birthmarks and cysts that may develop over a person’s lifetime. These benign lesions can be aesthetically displeasing, inconvenient or even uncomfortable. Dr Clarke will remove your lesions using superior plastic surgical techniques, leaving you with the most discreet result.
