Every person’s goals and surgical journey are unique and a thorough consultation is required to determine if tummy tuck surgery is suitable for you. To take the first step and find out more, call our patient support team on 3202 4744.

Happy Father’s Day 💙

Today we remember Dr Sharp’s father, Noel. Though he passed before David began studying medicine, his encouragement shaped the father and doctor David is today.

Now a proud dad of four daughters, Dr Sharp carries those lessons of love, hard work and perseverance forward.

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads and father figures who make such a difference.

What does a facelift really address?

Despite its name, a facelift doesn’t treat the entire face - and it certainly isn’t one-size-fits-all.

In the hands of an experienced specialist plastic surgeon, a facelift is tailored to suit each patient’s unique facial structure and ageing features.

Typically, it targets laxity and volume descent in the mid face, lower face and upper neck - areas where patients often notice sagging, jowls or loss of definition along the jawline.

Many people who initially enquire about a mini facelift, S lift or neck lift often discover during their consultation with Dr Sharp that a standard facelift is the most appropriate option to address their concerns thoroughly.

This patient underwent a facelift with neck liposuction, followed by fractionated laser, and is shown here 3 years post op.

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

A facelift might be suitable if you’re experiencing:
• Mid-face hollowing (fat grafting may be used for volume restoration)
• Jowls or soft jawline definition
• Loose, crepey skin in the mid/lower face
• Lax neck skin or visible neck bands
• Fullness or loose skin beneath the chin

Detailed risks and recovery information is available on our website. A consultation is required to assess suitability.

Homelessness can affect anyone, and it’s growing fastest among women over 45.
Right now, more than 54,000 women in Australia don’t have a safe place to sleep. In Queensland alone, over 48,000 people are on the public housing waitlist.

Dr David Sharp is participating in the Vinnies CEO Sleepout, spending a night outdoors to raise awareness and vital funds for those facing homelessness.

We know one night isn’t a solution, but it can be the start of one! It’s our way of giving back, beyond the operating room, helping change the story for vulnerable Australians.

At The Sharp Clinics, we are guided by our values of compassion, support and respect - and we’re proud to stand with Vinnies for this important cause.

💙 Visit https://bit.ly/drsharpsleepout for Dr Sharp’s fundraising page. Every donation helps open a door to shelter, support and hope.
