Winter gifts opportunity to dig deeper into body and wellness. And, with a wealth of information at our fingertips, honing trusted expertise and quantity over quality has never been more important. From breast matters to skincare protection, to liposuction and tissue tightening, we’ve got you covered.
Accessing breast information – implants, surgical options, revision – has never been more readily available or instantaneous. In the past decade, breast implants and augmentation especially, have endured their fair share of bad press. Affirming, that arming yourself, and your breasts, with reputable guidance and a trusted surgical hand is more important than ever before.
So, what are some of the home truths and key takeaways around breast implants?
When it comes to breast enlargement and breast lifting (augmentation mastopexy) the implant and the surgical techniques used, are crucial to satisfactory and safe outcomes.
“A focus on high-quality breast implants and stabilising the inframammary crease to deliver best outcomes, was supported by multiple presenters at the most recent ASAPs (Australasian Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons) conference,” explains Da Vinci Plastic Surgery Clinic’s cosmetic and reconstructive plastic surgeon, Dr Brandon Adams. “Carefully listening to patients to ensure that outcomes match a desired look, should always lead decision-making. With choice of technique, implant location and careful surgery consistently essential to good outcomes.”
Da Vinci Plastic Surgery Clinic have been using Motiva implants for the last nine years and to-date this new generation of implants have not been associated with BIA-ALCL (Breast Implant Associated Anaplastic Large-Cell Lymphoma).
Motiva Minimal Scar® revolutionary technology enables DaVinci Plastic Surgery Clinic surgeons to engage small incisions – 2.5 cm – around half the size of the current industry standard. And because Motiva Implants® are uniquely flexible and durable, they’re designed to mimic the look, feel, and movement of natural breast tissue.
With any breast surgery, engaging a surgeon who bears RACs, Royal Australasian College of Surgeons, qualifications (like Dr Adams, Dr Bialostocki and Dr Butler) ensures you receive the best in surgical standards, education and professionalism.
As the weather cools there’s less moisture in the air and our skin’s natural barrier is compromised. This can result in dry –sometimes flaky – and acne prone skin which less able to fight off infections and bacteria. But, before you go piling on your serums and oils, tune into skincare that protects and builds hydration, and restore facial collagen stores from the outside in with Sofwave™.
Not just ‘another’ ultra therapy skin tightening solution. Sofwave™ stands on its own two feet. This FDA approved skin tightening treatment is making its mark on the cosmetic world stage. Gently stimulating collagen and elastin at a controlled temp at just the right depth below the skins surface, this FDA-approved skin tightening treatment boosts collagen, remedies laxity, and gifts greater lift and overall facial rejuvenation. Unlike Ultratherapy® where ultrasound technology is delivered to three different skin layers – reaching 4.5 mm at its deepest. Sofwave™ sends ultrasound to only one depth — 1.5 millimetres — just below the surface of the skin, where collagen is most abundant. Its controlled depth and temperature means nerves, fat and blood vessels aren’t damaged.

Eliminate and Contract . . . Liposuction andRenuvion are defining partners
Liposuction has a firm hand in targeting and eliminating fat in those stubborn areas – hips, tummy, thighs, upper arms – but it doesn’t assist with skin retraction. However, where liposuction falls short, skin tightening steps in.
If your skin is showcasing looseness, sagging or reduced firmness, revolutionary skin technologies, like Renuvion, deliver dual radio frequency and helium plasma below the skin to shrink-wrap tissues and stimulate collagen and elastin production.
Following liposuction, the Renuvion wand is placed sub-dermally under the skin, via the small incisions surgeons made to excise the fat, where it then tightens and shrinks the skin tissues from within. This energy-based treatment continues working across several months to a year.
The result of this lipo Renuvion combo is greater contracture, definition and contouring of the body area.
However, there are limitations. If you are experiencing extensive sagging and laxity, Renuvion may not be enough as it is minimally invasive. Instead, your surgeon may recommend excising the excess skin and tightening underlying muscles.
