The truth about plastic surgery is rarely what you see on social media.

Before considering surgery, it's important to understand that:
• There is no such thing as a ‘perfect’ result
• Swelling, bruising, scars and emotional ups and downs are a normal part of recovery
• Healing takes time, and early results are not the final outcome
• Factors such as genetics, skin quality and your body's natural healing response all influence the final result
• Every surgical procedure carries potential risks, and outcomes vary from person to person

Making an informed decision starts with understanding both the benefits and the limitations of surgery. A thorough consultation with an appropriately qualified medical practitioner can help determine whether a procedure is suitable for your individual circumstances.

Did you know?

Specialist plastic surgeons in Australia complete extensive medical, surgical and specialist training before achieving specialist registration.

A consultation is an important part of the patient journey. It provides an opportunity to discuss your medical history, treatment options, recovery process, and potential risks and complications, as well as determine whether a procedure is appropriate for your individual circumstances.

Recovery experiences vary between individuals and depend on a range of factors, including the type of procedure and individual health considerations.

All surgical procedures carry risks, and these should be carefully considered before proceeding.

A consultation with a qualified health practitioner is required to determine suitability for treatment.

In recognition of Men’s Health Month, this month is a reminder for men to prioritise their health and seek help early for concerns that can often be overlooked.

At Coastal Aesthetics, Dr Matthew Starr provides assessment and surgical care for a range of common male concerns. These include gynaecomastia, skin cancer removal and reconstruction, blepharoplasty for excess eyelid skin, and abdominoplasty for abdominal contour concerns.

These conditions are more common than many realise and can affect both comfort and confidence. Early assessment is important, particularly for skin lesions and changes that may require further investigation.

If you have concerns, a consultation can help determine the most appropriate management options based on individual needs.

Understanding Staged Surgical Reconstruction

Not all surgical procedures are performed in a single stage. In reconstructive surgery, treatment may sometimes be planned across multiple stages depending on the procedure involved, healing progress, and individual clinical circumstances.

A staged approach can allow time for tissues to heal, swelling to settle, and outcomes of earlier procedures to be assessed before proceeding to the next step. The number of stages and timing between procedures can vary significantly between individuals.

Examples of staged reconstruction may include procedures performed following mastectomy, trauma, skin cancer treatment, removal of implants, or other circumstances requiring restoration of form or function.

Treatment planning is highly individualised and takes into account anatomy, previous procedures, medical history, and patient goals.

Dr Starr will discuss the most appropriate surgical pathway, expected timelines, and any relevant considerations during consultation.

What Happens If a Breast Implant Ruptures?

Breast implant rupture is a recognised complication that may occur over time or following trauma, depending on the type of implant and individual circumstances.

The way a rupture presents can vary. In saline implants, changes in size or shape may become noticeable as the saline is absorbed by the body. In silicone implants, rupture may be less obvious and in some cases may only be identified through imaging or clinical assessment.

Possible signs may include changes in breast shape, firmness, discomfort, swelling, or concerns raised during routine review. Some individuals may have no obvious symptoms.

Where rupture is suspected, further assessment with a breast Ultrasound or MRI will be recommended to determine if there is a rupture. Treatment options vary depending on the implant type, clinical findings, and patient circumstances.

Dr Starr will discuss suitable investigations and management options where relevant.
