This patient underwent a post-partum abdominoplasty, mastopexy and breast augmentation - a combined procedure designed to address the physical changes that pregnancy and breastfeeding can bring.

But surgery itself is only part of the story. The quality of your recovery plays an enormous role in your final result, and we take a whole-person approach to healing. Here’s what the evidence supports:
- Nutrition: Protein, vitamin C and zinc are essential for tissue repair. A well-nourished body heals faster and with fewer complications.
- Light based therapy: boosts cellular energy (ATP) production, which accelerates healing, reduces inflammation and improves circulation. That’s why it’s included in our 12 month complimentary aftercare program.
- Social support: Patients with strong support networks experience less stress and anxiety and better pain management.
- Mental wellbeing: The post-operative period can be emotionally challenging. Seeking support when needed is a vital part of recovery.
- Lymphatic drainage: reduces swelling, softens scar tissue and promotes circulation
- Compression: Surgical garments support the tissues, reduce oedema.
- Patience: Full results can take up to a year. Scars take up to 24 months to mature. Trust the process and stay connected to your surgical support team for guidance.
We’re proud to support our patients not just in theatre, but every step of the way.

Our patient underwent a facelift, facial fat grafting and fractionated laser with a clear goal: a result that feels believable, balanced and in harmony with her overall appearance.

Dr Sharp’s approach avoids creating a look that draws attention for the wrong reasons. The eye doesn’t assess the jawline or neck in isolation; it takes in everything at once - skin quality, natural lines around the lips, the upper face, décolletage and even the hands. When these elements don’t align, results can look unusual.

This is why Dr Sharp prioritises subtlety and believability. Adjustments are made to the mid face, jawline and neck - but not at the expense of authenticity. The aim is refinement, not an exaggerated or overdone appearance.

This approach is valued by patients in professional or public-facing roles, where returning to work without attracting attention is important. The goal is to look well rested, not unnatural.

Outcomes vary based on anatomy and stage of ageing. Skin quality, previous facial surgery, weight changes and natural facial structure all influence what can be achieved safely and realistically.

To support a harmonised result, fractionated resurfacing laser, LED and scar microneedling is performed as part of our facelift approach, often alongside:

* Skin therapies for lines around the mouth
* Treatment for upper face static lines
* Ongoing skin maintenance to support skin quality

A thoughtful approach improves outcomes and reduces risks associated with over tightening.

Fast facelift facts:
* Surgery time: 4-5 hours
* Hospital stay: 1 night
* Time off work: at least 3 weeks
* Time off driving: 2 weeks
* Support garment: 24/7 for 3 weeks, then at home for another 3 weeks
* No exercise: 6 weeks
* Minor risk (healthy patients): ~10%
* Major complication risk: ~1%



Facelift is also known as rhytidectomy or meloplasty surgery.

This week we celebrated our wonderful Julie, and the end of an era 💛

First in our Ipswich clinic, then at our Greenslopes Private Hospital practice - and then in our South Brisbane location - she has been a constant, familiar and reassuring presence for so many patients across nearly two decades, often caring for multiple generations within the same family!

As the backbone of our bookings team in recent years, she orchestrated every detail of our patients’ surgeries, behind the scenes - leaving a lasting legacy in our culture, systems and processes.

But what we will miss most is Julie the person; her kindness, generosity, carrot cake, pranks and laughing fits. The meals she’d leave for her team mates on late shifts, and mid-afternoon lemon and mint tea, made fresh from her garden.

Her presence will be profoundly missed, but we are also excited for her next chapter - lots of travel with her Joe, and more time to pour love into her growing brood of grandchildren.

With love and gratitude,
The Sharp Clinic family 💛

This patient underwent breast reduction, abdominoplasty and abdominal liposuction with Dr Sharp, for improved core strength, reduced back pain and waistline definition.

Procedures like this are journeys with chapters. Research matters; not just the technique or the before and after images, but also the preparation, surgical technique, recovery demands, patience and postoperative care.

Good outcomes are built as much in the recovery period as in the operating theatre. Time, trust in the process and realistic expectations are integral.

Combined breast reduction, liposuction and abdominoplasty facts:
• Surgery time: 4.5-6 hours
• Hospital stay: 2-6 nights
• Time off work: 3 wks if sedentary, 6 wks if active
• Time off driving: 2 wks
• Support garment: 6-12wks
• No exercise: 6 weeks
• Drains: yes
• Item number/rebates: may apply for medical reasons, post weightless or pregnancy
• Revision risk: 5-10% depending on risk factors

These procedures may be suitable if you’re experiencing:
• Abdominal core weakness
• A distended or bulging stomach after pregnancy
• Re**us divarication / muscle separation
• Loose, stretched skin or skin hygiene issues
• Back and shoulder pain
