Introduction
Cosmetic surgery procedures as highlighted in this section overview several popular techniques commonly requested by patients. For more information on all cosmetic surgical procedures as available through Dr Briggs, please contact us for an individualised assessment of your needs.
Breast Augmentation or Breast Enlargement
Women choose to have breast augmentation for different reasons. Some desire larger breasts, others want to replace a breast contour that has diminished during pregnancy or through weight loss. In the breast augmentation procedure, breast implants are placed underneath the breast tissue. Sometimes breast implants are placed under the chest muscles. The position of breast implants is a choice based on the shape of your current breast, the amount of breast tissue and overall body size. Incisions are made in one of three locations: under the nipple, under the breast or in the underarm. Dr Briggs, as your cosmetic surgeon, will help you determine the breast implant for you, where surgical incisions will be made, risks related to breast augmentation, and what you should expect during your recovery. Dr Briggs can create dramatic results with breast augmentation, giving you the fit and look you want to achieve. People who are body conscious will enjoy the new contours provided by breast augmentation surgery.

Tummy Tuck or Abdominoplasty
After pregnancy, weight loss, or through normal aging, many people find themselves with excess skin and fat around the belly and decreased tone of the abdominal muscles beneath. Tummy Tuck or abdominoplasty addresses these problems for both women and men. The result of a tummy tuck is an improved body contour and a smoother shape of the abdomen. During the Tummy Tuck surgery, an incision is made within the ‘bikini’ or ‘boxer’ line under the abdomen; this helps to hide the surgical scar under clothes. Excess skin and fat are removed, the muscle beneath is tightened, the skin is redraped to provide a more pleasing body shape, and often the belly button is moved to a new position within the newly contoured abdomen. Dr Briggs as your cosmetic surgeon will work with you to discuss your specific Tummy Tuck surgery. For those who have grown tired of their girth and weight issues, Tummy Tuck surgery helps you achieve a lighter, more agile frame allowing you to enjoy the lifestyle you seek.

Liposuction or Liposculture
For people looking at cosmetic surgery to deal with fat deposits that have become problem areas, liposuction or liposculpture can spot reduce areas of unwanted fat deposit. Irrespective of diet or exercise, there are some with body types that accumulate fat in certain areas. This makes liposuction a more fitting choice than other cosmetic surgery procedures for those who don’t need fat reduction from their entire body. People looking for the sculpturing benefits of liposuction and an ideal body shape should talk immediately with Dr Briggs about the suitability of this procedure for your body.

Breast Lift or Mastoplexy
Breast list surgery or mastoplexy is a cosmetic surgery procedure to lift and reshape sagging breasts and is one of the top cosmetic surgery procedures in Perth Western Australia. Causes of breast sagging in women are pregnancy and nursing, aging, large breasts, and significant weight loss. Sometimes a breast lift is combined with a breast augmentation procedure to restore breasts to a fuller enhanced appearance. At other times breast lift surgery is combined with breast reduction surgery with the aim of lifting while reducing the size of the breasts to a more proportionate contour. Dr Briggs would review your Breast Lift and Mastoplexy options, including the pros and cons of each procedure, potential risks and complications, recovery course, pre- and post-operative instructions, and aesthetic outcomes. Like breast augmentation surgery, breast lift surgery can give you the lift, firmness, and side profile you want to achieve. People who are body conscious will enjoy the new contours provided by breast lift surgery.

Breast Reduction
Women with large sagging breasts tend to have neck, shoulder, and back pain. Patients find breast reduction surgery greatly relieves their symptoms allowing them the ability to live a more active lifestyle and wear more fitting clothes. Of all surgeries that cosmetic surgeons perform, breast reduction ranks among the highest in patient satisfaction. You may be a good candidate for breast reduction if you have any of the following problems: 1. Neck, back or shoulder pain. 2. Shoulder notching from your bra strap. 3. Heavy sagging breasts. 4. Breasts that are too large for your body size. 5. Irritation and rash beneath your breasts. 6. One breast that is significantly larger than the other creating a significant asymmetry. During breast reduction surgery, fatty tissue in the breast along with glandular tissue and excess skin are removed. By removing these elements, the breast can be pulled tighter making them lighter, smaller, and firmer. For more information on breast reduction, please contact Dr Briggs for a consultation.

Body Lift
A Body Lift is similar to a face lift, except that it involves the centre of the body. A Body Lift is the surgical contouring of arms, thighs, abdomen and breasts to remove excessive hanging skin. The body lift procedure is designed for people who have lost large amounts of weight either through diet and exercise or through gastric/intestinal bypass surgery. Other candidates for the Body Lift procedure are those who have excessive sagging skin from aging or pregnancy. After a certain age, our skin does not have enough elastin or collagen needed for tight and tone skin. Sagging, loose or stretched skin can be improved by a body lift procedure which can give your body normal contours and tighter, smoother and younger looking skin. For more information on body lifts, please contact Dr Briggs for a consultation.

Male Breast Reduction or Gynaecomastia
This is often an embarrassing, but yet relatively common problem among men. It involves excess breast tissue, which is comprised of both fatty tissue and mammary gland tissue, causing the male chest area to resemble breasts. The existence of these “breasts” may be due to an imbalance in hormones, the use of medications such as steroids, or even to liver disease.
