Facelift, Eye Lid Surgery, Chin Implant Placement and More – Sydney Area Practice

Facial cosmetic surgery is a delicate art that requires a keen artistic eye and masterful surgical skill. With 30 years of experience, Dr. Warwick Harper is knowledgeable in the latest techniques and utilizes the most advanced technology to perform a variety of facial enhancement procedures, including cheek implant, facelift, eyelid surgery, and chin implants. Consultations are available at our North Sydney, Nowra, Dee Why and Manly Peninsula Plastic Surgery locations. Read on to learn more about the procedures we offer:

Facelift - Meloplasty

We offer facelift to those patients who desire comprehensive facial rejuvenation by reducing loose skin, wrinkling, and sagging caused by aging. Facelift involves the tightening of the skin and underlying structures of the face to achieve a naturally smooth lifted appearance. Surgical repositioning of the muscles ensures a long lasting result that looks balanced and symmetrical. Dr. Harper may lift and sculpt the fat pads within the mid-face to improve contours and elevate the cheeks to a more youthful position. In the final stage of facelift surgery, Dr. Harper redrapes the facial skin over the refined bone and muscle structure, removes the excess skin, and carefully closes the incision within the hairline.

Often the results of facelift are enhanced with other procedures including eyelid surgery, chin implant placement or skin rejuvenation treatments such as laser skin resurfacing or BOTOX® Cosmetic therapy. For more information about facelift and other cosmetic procedures contact Sydney-based Peninsula Plastic Surgery to schedule a consultation with Dr. Warwick Harper in Manly, North Sydney, Nowra or Dee Why.

Short Scar Facelift

The short scar facelift, also known as the MACS-lift (Minimal Access Cranial Suspension lift), was recently pioneered in Belgium and is rapidly gaining popularity throughout the world. Unlike traditional horizontal facelifts that can sometimes produce severe, “windswept" looks, the short scar facelift offers a vertical solution for counteracting the effects of gravity. In the MACS-lift, special sutures are used to lift the middle layer of muscle and tissue vertically - producing more natural, subtle looking results.

This advanced procedure features many other significant advantages. Traditional facelifts can leave scaring along the area behind the ear; however, the short scar facelift leaves a less conspicuous, “shorter scar” hidden within the hairline above the ear and the crease in front of the ear. Now patients do not have to style their hair to cover facelift scars; they are free to wear their hair up or in a ponytail. The less invasive shorter scar facelift results in fewer complications, shorter operating time, and faster recovery. The procedure is ideal for younger women who are primarily concerned about rejuvenating the appearance of the mid-face region.

Eyelid Surgery - Blepharoplasty

Through eyelid surgery (also called blepharoplasty) offered at our four offices in and around Sydney, Dr. Harper can greatly improve the appearance of aging eyes by removing the excess skin and fat that causes puffiness and drooping. After eyelid surgery the eyes appear smoother and the natural inside crease of the eye is restored creating a more youthful, alert look. This is a popular procedure for both women and men for subtly reducing the effects of aging with minimal downtime and virtually no scarring. Eyelid surgery can be performed on the upper or lower eye lids, or both. Eyelid surgery commonly accompanies facelift to provide comprehensive rejuvenation.

Chin Augmentation - Chin Implant Surgery

A chin implant can be added through a small incision in the natural crease beneath the chin to strengthen the jaw line and improve facial structure. The chin implant is effective in correcting an underdeveloped or recessed chin. In some cases a reconstructive jaw surgery may be necessary to achieve proper function and a natural cosmetic appearance. A consultation with Dr. Harper is necessary to determine the best surgical approach and chin implant size for improving your appearance. Contact Peninsula Plastic Surgery today for further information about chin implant surgery; we have four offices throughout Sydney and the surrounding areas to serve you.

Brow Lift

The brow lift procedure allows patients to address several concerns associated with the brow and forehead region. The aging process can cause the eyelids to droop and sag, causing them to lose their youthful arch; in addition, deep furrows may develop between the eyebrows. As a result, some patients may appear to have a permanently tired or unintentionally angry expression. To counteract these negative effects of time and gravity, brow lift surgery raises the eyebrows to a more aesthetically pleasing position and restores the arch. Brow lift surgery also smoothes severe horizontal wrinkling along the forehead, in addition to eliminating deep creases and excess muscle tissue between the brows. To achieve comprehensive facial rejuvenation, brow lift may be combined with facelift and/or eyelid surgery with excellent results . Schedule a free consultation at Peninsula Plastic Surgery to see if brow lift surgery or a combination of facial procedures can benefit your appearance.

Cheek Implants

Cheek implants can be used to lift the contours of the mid-face and restore depleted facial volume. Cheek augmentation is completed through an incision within the mouth so that there is no visible scarring after surgery. The semi-solid implant fits though the incision and is carefully moved into place. After surgery patients’ facial proportions are improved and the face appears smoother and gracefully recontoured. For those who have lost a dramatic amount of facial volume and skin elasticity due to aging, cheek implants and a chin implant combined with facelift may provide excellent aesthetic improvement.
