In this insightful episode, we tackle the often-under discussed topic of post-weight loss brachioplasty surgery. Many individuals, after significant weight loss, find themselves grappling with the trade-off between excess skin and the potential for long scars post-surgery. Our discussion revolves around the concerns associated with the cosmetic implications of arm lift scars versus the physical discomfort and self-consciousness caused by sagging skin. Interestingly, feedback from the post-weight loss community indicates that the overwhelming relief from eliminating hanging skin overshadows the concern for scars, which are generally not visible from the front. The episode also hints at forthcoming topics, including navigating private health funds for surgery and the commonality of wearing long sleeves to mask arm appearance. Tune in to gain a comprehensive understanding of the physical and cosmetic considerations that come with the decision to undergo a brachioplasty after weight loss.

Are you wondering about the current cost of an Abdominoplasty in Australia? You have come to the right place. ’Tummy tuck cost Australia’ is a top Google question for patients when considering abdominoplasty surgery.
Researching tummy tuck prices is frustrating, as you have probably noticed by now. It is hard to get a straight answer. Google and you will be continually met with text saying the “cost will vary” and that the only way to get a price is to book a consultation.
 
Or even worse, vague answers like “prices start at $6000+”.
 
In this podcast, I will discuss my pricing along with what I have found out about what other surgeons charge for an Abdominoplasty in Sydney and Newcastle.

In this podcast, I’m going to talk about the abdominoplasty scar and how to make sure that you get the best outcome for this. The scar is a significant part of the operation and something that many women and men worry about when considering an abdominoplasty.
 
Every patient will have a different scar. There are several aspects of scar that needs to be considered.

Before surgery


Surgical technique


After surgery

We will go though these in detail.

I use VASER liposuction for a lot of my operations, including my Abdominoplasties. In this podcast, I will go through some of the benefits and negatives of this technique.

There are many techniques for abdominoplasty and each patient is unique.
Liposuction can be safely added to an abdominoplasty but not every patient will benefit from liposuction. I treat a lot of post-weight loss patients. Some of these patients have minimal to no additional fat to remove. Adding liposuction in these patients will:


Increase the time it takes to do the operation.


Potentially increase complication rates


Potentially increase the recovery time as well


If you have external fat, you may benefit from liposuction, and this can safely be added to your operation.
There are many different types of liposuction.
The standard or traditional liposuction consists of 2 steps.

Injecting the wetting solution containing adrenalin and lignocaine
Using liposuction cannulas to suck out the fat

This works well, and prior to starting to use the VASER liposuction, which I have done for close to 10 years, I use this method for my abdominoplasties.
VASER liposuction adds an additional step to the liposuction process.
The VASER is an ultrasonic probe, it vibrates at a very high frequency, this disrupts the fat cells making the fat liquid. This liquified fat is then aspirated with the liposuction cannulae.
Why do I like VASER liposuction over traditional liposuction?
In my hands, I find that it is a much gentler way of performing liposuction. I also find that it causes less bruising. I can also get closer to the skin and remove more fat. If significant scar tissue is present, for example, if they have had previous liposuction, then the VASER will help disrupt this as well.
There are some negatives with this method as well.
The main negative is the additional time it takes to perform VASER liposuction, which adds to the operation time.
Also, the liposuction holes are bigger.
Overall I find that VASER has significant benefits and I would normally recommend this method for patients considering liposuction.


I’m able to remove more fat with this method.


I can get closer to the skin surface without getting indentations or irregularities.


There is less bruising.
