A breast fat transfer typically leaves only very small marks where the liposuction and fat injection cannulas were inserted.

These entry points are a few millimetres wide and usually fade over time, often becoming barely noticeable once fully healed. Since no large incisions are required, visible scarring is minimal.

During a consultation, Dr Cope can provide aftercare advice to support proper healing and help reduce any lasting marks. If you’re interested in the procedure or simply have some questions, please contact our team.

A breast augmentation combined with a lift addresses both shape and position in a single procedure.

Dr Charles Cope may recommend this approach for patients who have lost volume or skin firmness due to weight changes, pregnancy, or ageing. The lift repositions the breast tissue higher on the chest, while the augmentation adds volume using breast implants.

Whether or not this approach is suitable for you will depend on your anatomy and goals. If you would like to discuss your suitability for the procedure, please contact our team to schedule a consultation with Dr Cope.

Upper blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that involves removing excess upper eyelid skin through a fine incision placed within the natural crease of the eyelid.

During a consultation, the surgeon will assess your eyelids, discuss whether this procedure may be appropriate for your concerns, and outline the potential risks, recovery considerations and alternatives. Suitability varies for each individual.

To arrange a consultation with Dr Charles Cope, please contact our team.

There is no single ideal weight that applies to everyone before bilateral buttock augmentation surgery. However, it’s generally recommended to be close to a stable, healthy weight that you can maintain long-term.

Significant weight changes after surgery can affect results and skin tightness. Being in good health and having stable body weight also helps with recovery and healing. Before your procedure, you’ll have a consultation with Dr Cope, who will assess your needs and provide personalised advice.

If you would like more information, please contact our team to arrange a consultation.

Six weeks after surgery, these pictures show a 37-year-old patient of Dr Cope, who had an abdominoplasty performed to address the abdominal tissues after pregnancies.

The procedure typically involves removing excess skin, tightening weakened muscles, and addressing abdominal shape. It’s still normal for there to be residual swelling at six months, as, tissues continue to heal. Each recovery journey is unique, depending on factors like overall health, the extent of the procedure and lifestyle.

Please contact our team to book a consultation if you are considering undergoing an abdominoplasty and want to learn more about the procedure.

Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, can sometimes be performed at the same time as other facial procedures, such as a facelift (rhytidectomy) or brow lift (browplasty).

Combining procedures may help reduce the overall downtime of undergoing each procedure separately, but it’s not a suitable approach for everyone. The decision depends on factors such as surgical time, health factors and how the recovery process will be managed. A personalised assessment helps to determine whether or not performing multiple operations together is appropriate.

If you’re considering eyelid surgery and want to discuss combining it with other facial procedures, you are welcome to contact our team to arrange a consultation with Dr Cope.

These before and after pictures show a previous abdominoplasty patient of Dr Cope. The 39-year-old patient underwent a personalised procedure after completing two pregnancies.

The procedure removes stretched abdominal skin and repairs separated muscles, which can occur after pregnancy or weight changes. At this stage, swelling and tightness are still present, but the abdominal contour is becoming more defined as healing progresses. Full recovery and final results continue to develop over the months after the procedure, as the tissues heal and scars mature. Recovery time varies depending on factors like each person’s health and the extensiveness of their procedure steps.

If you would like to discuss whether an abdominoplasty could be appropriate to address your needs, please contact our team to schedule a consultation.

Bilateral buttock augmentation may be performed together with liposuction of the thighs in selected patients. This combined approach may be considered when there is excess tissue or changes in contour following weight variation, ageing, or other factors.

As with any surgical procedure, a consultation is required to determine suitability. Not all patients will be appropriate candidates for gluteal augmentation, or for a combined procedure with liposuction. An individual assessment is necessary to decide on the most appropriate treatment.

Fine lines and changes in the lower eyelid area may sometimes be treated with advanced skin resurfacing technologies such as Halo or Profractional laser.

These treatments target the skin’s surface and deeper layers to address skin texture and reduce visible lines. They do not change the eyelid’s shape but may be considered alongside or instead of surgery, when skin quality is the main concern. Suitability depends on skin type, the degree of skin laxity, and overall treatment goals.

If you would like to discuss your options for addressing lower eyelid skin and fine lines, you are welcome to contact our team and book a consultation.

A common misconception is that blepharoplasty is only for people with signs of ageing – like wrinkles, lines, and loose skin.

But this isn’t the case. There are other reasons for seeking surgery on the eyelids. For example, due to genetics, some people have an excess of tissue around the eyelids naturally, regardless of age.

This can manifest in concerns like:

- ‘Dark’ areas below the eyes
- Excess fat tissue above or below the eyes
- Naturally protruding skin that sits on the upper lashes

People with these natural features may choose to get blepharoplasty to suit their cosmetic goals. In these cases, a personalised treatment plan from Dr Charles Cope is their first step!

Q: How much movement is allowed following my facial fat transfer procedure?

A: After you get a facial fat transfer, you’ll need time to heal. It’s important to minimise your facial movements and expressions, as this could interfere with fat tissue survival.

Dr Cope will advise on the proper protocols for your aftercare. However, generally, it’s advised to:

- Sleep with your head elevated
- Begin getting up and walking as soon as you are able
- Avoid putting any pressure on your treated sites
- Avoid touching or massaging your treated sites
- Reduce your facial movements as much as you can

Adhering to your instructions will help your body recover at its own pace and encourage the transferred fat to settle properly. For more information, reach out to Dr Cope and his qualified team.

20/09/2025

Facial fat transfer takes fat from one part of the body and transfers it to the face. This can help with facial contouring in areas that have lost volume.

Candidates for a facial fat transfer are those who want more facial volume, but who only want to use their natural body tissue. To be a good candidate, you should also have excess fat on your body, as Dr Cope will need to harvest the fat from somewhere (such as the abdomen or thighs).

As always, patients should weigh the pros and cons to decide what works for them. Facial fat transfer can be a good way to treat multiple areas at once using liposuction techniques, but you should also be aware of the risks and recovery involved.

Dr Cope can give you more information about what can be achieved according to your natural contours and body fat. Book a consultation to learn more about facial fat transfer!
