What surgery is Dr Kwei performing today?

Dr Kwei is performing an upper blepharoplasty combined with a mini brow lift. This approach can help open up the eye area by addressing excess upper eyelid skin while providing a subtle elevation to the brow, reducing the degree of hooding.

Many patients are often surprised to find that this procedure involves minimal discomfort during recovery.

12-month result following abdominoplasty with re**us diastasis repair.

This patient underwent a full abdominoplasty after significant weight loss and two previous pregnancies. The procedure included repair of re**us divarication (abdominal muscle separation) to restore core strength and contour.

She spent five nights in hospital, where the use of a Pain Buster device made her post-operative recovery more comfortable during her stay.

Fat grafting uses your own fat to restore or add volume to areas such as the breasts, face, or body.

It requires both a suitable donor area (where fat can be safely harvested) and a healthy recipient site with good blood supply to support the transferred cells.

Before-and-after sequence of Breast Reduction (BBR). Our lovely patient, burdened by DD/E cup breasts, sought relief from exercise limitations, neck and shoulder strain, bra strap indentations, and seasonal intertrigo.

My approach is tailored to each individual’s needs. I focus on providing relief, restoring comfort, and improving function. It’s about more than just reshaping - I aim to help my patients experience a renewed sense of ease and freedom.

Breast reduction:
Surgery time: ~3 hours
Hospital admission: 1 night
Time off driving: 1-2 weeks
Time wearing post surgery bra: 6 weeks
Gently ease back into normal exercises after 6 weeks

Not every patient is looking for a dramatic transformation.

For some, a subtle change - such as a one-cup size difference - can best align with their desires as well as their proportions.

During consultation, we discuss your preferences in detail and assess your individual anatomy to determine what’s most suitable for you.

emoval of breast implants & mastopexy – 3-month results.

This patient had breast implants for over 40 years, wearing D-cup bras, but experienced heaviness and sagging that no longer suited her active lifestyle. She had grade 3 ptosis, bilateral waterfall deformity, and submuscular implants, with capsular contracture confirmed on imaging.

She chose to have her implants removed along with a breast lift. Three months post-surgery, she feels lighter and more comfortable. Most importantly, the size (now a B cup) and shape of her lifted breasts complement her active way of life.

What surgery is Dr Kwei performing today?

Dr Kwei is performing an abdominoplasty for a patient with re**us divarication (abdominal muscle separation). This procedure repairs the separation of the abdominal muscles and removes excess tissue to restore abdominal function and contour.

An important part of preparation is ensuring a BMI under 30, as research shows this can positively influence healing, recovery, and the risk of complications such as infection. Dr Kwei works closely with each patient to optimise their health before surgery for the best possible outcome.

Swelling is a normal and expected part of the healing process after surgery.

The degree and duration can vary depending on factors such as the type of procedure, individual healing response, and whether a patient has had previous surgery in the same area.

As a general guide, most swelling settles within 4–6 weeks, but this will be discussed in detail during your consultation and post-operative care.
