When it comes to breast implants, Dr Craig uses Motiva implants for carefully considered clinical reasons.

While there are a number of implant options available and each surgeon’s approach is different, Dr Craig has been using Motiva implants for several years as part of his practice.

Motiva implants are smooth-surface implants and have not been associated with Breast Implant–Associated Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma (BIA-ALCL), a rare condition linked to certain textured implants.

They are designed with advanced gel technology to help the implant retain its shape even if the shell is compromised, and are manufactured to high international medical standards.

While Motiva implants are engineered for durability and are often expected to last at least 10 years, no breast implant is considered lifetime, and individual outcomes can vary.

Every patient’s anatomy, goals, and medical history are different — which is why a personalised consultation is essential.

Book a consultation with Dr Craig to discuss whether a breast augmentation is right for you!

Recovery is a season of slowing down and for many of us, that can feel unfamiliar.

Women are often used to putting others first, juggling busy schedules, caring for family, working and showing up for everyone around them. Taking time for yourself doesn’t always come easily.

After surgery, it’s okay to pause.
It’s okay to rest without guilt, to move gently and to let healing become your main focus for a while. This is not weakness, it is part of the process.

Some days you may feel hopeful and full of energy and other days you may feel tired, emotional, or questioning your decision. Feelings of happiness, relief, doubt or sadness are all very normal as your body heals and your mind adjusts.

With time, patients find that this becomes easier physically and emotionally as they settle into this new chapter.

This is your gentle reminder to be kind to yourself, honour where you are today and trust that healing takes time.

Our Coco Ruby team is here to support you through every step of your recovery journey 🤍

For many of Dr Craig Rubinstein’s patients who are suitable for an abdominoplasty, assisted liposuction may be carefully performed at the beginning of surgery. This is commonly directed to the outer hips, mons and central abdomen, while the upper abdomen is typically avoided due to a higher risk of complications in this area.

Once this step is complete, a low incision from hip to hip is made. The skin and tissue are gently lifted to allow access to the underlying abdominal muscles.
If a muscle separation (re**us diastasis) is present — which can occur following pregnancy — permanent sutures are used to repair the muscle layer.

Once the muscle repair is complete, the tissue is carefully pulled back down and any overlapping tissue is removed. Dr Craig will then use dissolving stitches and create a new opening so the belly button can be repositioned through the skin.

If you would like to learn more or have questions about your individual circumstances, please contact our team to arrange a consultation on (03) 8849 1400.

Morning & Night Skincare: Why Both Matter 🤍

Your skin has different needs throughout the day and night, which is why a consistent AM and PM routine is important.

✨ Morning skincare focuses on protecting and supporting your skin barrier throughout the day, including hydration and sun protection.

🌙 Night skincare is about cleansing away the day and supporting your skin while it naturally renews overnight.

There’s no one-size-fits-all routine — skin type, concerns and lifestyle all play a role, which is why personalised advice matters.

If you’re unsure which products or routine are right for you, our experienced dermal clinicians Hayley and Jen are here to help with tailored skin assessments and guidance.
