At Peninsula Plastic Surgery we provide a full range of body contouring enhancements, including a variety of lift procedures , liposuction and tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) to our patients from throughout Sydney and surrounding areas. Our plastic surgeon, Warwick Harper has extensive experience performing body contouring procedures and achieves excellent results that can dramatically improve the appearance of the figure.

Read on to learn more about the procedures we offer:

Liposuction

Liposuction, or suction lipectomy, is an effective fat removal technique that reduces unwanted fat deposits from specific areas of the body, most often the abdomen, lower back, thighs, buttocks, hips, and upper arms.

Advancements in liposuction methods and equipment now make it possible for fat to be removed from the inner-knee, along with the ankles, neck, and below the chin with smooth, natural looking results.

We do not recommend liposuction as a substitute for weight loss; liposuction is best used as a method of removing localized fat that does not respond to dieting and exercise.

Tummy Tuck

Tummy tuck, also called abdominoplasty, is a specialized contouring procedure for enhancing the appearance of the midsection. Through the removal of excess skin and fat from around the abdomen, smoothing of the skin and tightening of the abdominal muscles, abdominoplasty can dramatically reduce the appearance of a drooping or protruding belly.

Tummy tuck is an ideal procedure for women seeking to flatten their abdomen after pregnancy or men and women who would like to attain a more toned, slender midsection.

To perfect the results achieved with tummy tuck, Dr. Harper uses liposuction techniques during the procedure for additional sculpting and providing a tighter, smoother appearance. Additionally, Dr. Harper secures the tightened abdominal muscles with carefully placed sutures.

Results of abdominoplasty can be maintained long into the future by following a healthy regimen of diet and exercise.

Body Lift

Full-body lift is ideal for men and women who have lost a considerable amount of weight through diet, exercise or weight loss (bariatric) surgery and are left with areas of drooping skin and fat.

This procedure focuses on tightening the skin between the ribs and the upper portion of the knee, as well as around the abdomen from the front to the back.
