Considering Cosmetic Surgery
Some people notice changes in their appearance over time and may consider cosmetic procedures as one option when exploring ways to address these concerns. For others, lifestyle factors such as diet, exercise, or weight changes may also influence how they feel about their body.
Cosmetic procedures can include non-surgical treatments such as wrinkle-reduction injections and dermal fillers, as well as surgical procedures including facelifts, breast procedures, abdominoplasty and liposuction.
Liposuction and Body Contouring
Some individuals seek procedures that focus on body contouring in areas where fat may persist despite diet and exercise. Liposuction is a surgical procedure that may be used to reshape certain areas of the body, including the abdomen, hips, thighs and knees.
In some situations, liposuction may be performed together with abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) surgery. Abdominoplasty involves the removal of excess skin that can occur after significant weight loss or pregnancy.
It is important to understand that these procedures are not intended as weight-loss treatments and do not replace healthy lifestyle habits. Long-term outcomes vary between individuals and may depend on maintaining balanced nutrition and regular physical activity.
What to Expect
At My Cosmetic Clinic, liposuction may be performed as a day procedure for suitable patients following a medical consultation. Abdominoplasty surgery generally takes two to
three hours, although this may vary depending on factors such as the amount of excess skin and whether the abdominal muscles require tightening.
Dr Ansari emphasises
“It is a misconception to think that surgery replaces lifestyle changes, including a balanced diet and regular exercise. Surgical procedures do not replace these habits and should not be viewed as a long-term substitute. Ongoing lifestyle choices may influence outcomes both before and after surgery.”
Training and Approach
Dr Masood Ansari trained in the United Kingdom, where he became a member of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh. After relocating to Australia, he completed further training and obtained a Fellowship in Cosmetic Surgery from the Australasian College of Cosmetic Surgery.
He describes his approach as holistic, considering a range of techniques when discussing treatment options with patients. At My Cosmetic Clinic, consultations are sought by both women and men who wish to discuss procedures such as liposuction or abdominoplasty. Men may enquire about body contouring in areas including the chest, abdomen, neck and back.
Book a Consultation
All surgical and non-surgical procedures involve potential risks and complications. These should be discussed with a qualified medical practitioner during a consultation to determine whether a procedure may be suitable for an individual.
