The desire for the body beautiful can be powerful, especially in today’s image-obsessed world. Surgery can be effective in helping you achieve it. But, going under the knife is a big decision and should only happen when other routes, such as exercise and diet, aren’t working.
Dr Chang is a highly skilled and empathetic surgeon specialising in tummy tucks, liposuction, and arm and body lifts. Before agreeing to any procedure, she’ll discuss your body goals and motivation for the surgery with you and be honest about the results you can expect.
From tummy tucks (abdominoplasty) and liposuction to arm lifts (brachioplasty) and full body lifts, learn more about the procedures Sydney liposuction surgeon Dr Chang offers from her private clinic and hospitals across Sydney.
A tummy tuck is a surgical procedure most commonly requested to tighten separated muscles following pregnancy or remove excess fat or loose skin after massive weight loss. The procedure is performed under general anaesthetic with a specialist anaesthetist.
If you’re looking for a smoother, firmer abdomen, a tummy tuck is an effective way to achieve it. However, we always inform our patients that it’s not a substitute for weight loss or exercise. It’s best to optimise your physical fitness before enhancing your appearance with surgery.
Loose or sagging skin on the upper arms, often referred to as ‘bat wings’, can make us feel self-conscious. Unfortunately, diet and exercise aren’t always enough to shift them. Sometimes, plastic surgery can be the only way to eliminate the flab successfully.
This tailored procedure involves making incisions on the inside of the upper arm. Excess skin and fat are then removed to slim and contour the area. In some cases, we also tighten and reposition the underlying muscle. Recovery can be weeks or a few months.
Liposuction surgery involves reshaping the body by removing excess body fat. Some of the most common areas of the body for a liposuction procedure include the abdomen, arms, thighs, hips, buttocks, back, neck and chin.
Liposuction isn’t a replacement for exercise and weight loss. It’s best suited to patients who are close to their ideal body weight but have stubborn areas of resistant fat. If you’re interested in this procedure, we’ll talk to you about your goals before deciding if it’s suitable.
If you’ve lost a significant amount of weight, have excess fat or skin in more than one area, or would like to improve the contours of your mid to lower body, a body lift may be right for you. In some cases, it can be the only way to achieve a more toned, sculpted appearance.
If you’ve lost a lot of weight, you can be left with a lot of loose-hanging skin that can negatively impact your self-esteem and body image. A body lift can give you a significant boost. It can also reduce skin irritation and discomfort and ultimately improve your quality of life.
