Services
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation enhances breast size and shape using saline or silicone implants. Ideal for women seeking volume restoration post-pregnancy, improved symmetry, or enhanced proportions. Dr. Morwood tailors implant selection to individual anatomy and goals, ensuring natural results. Recovery typically allows return to work within days, with full results visible after swelling subsides.
Facelift
A facelift addresses sagging skin and deep wrinkles to restore youthful facial contours. Dr. Morwood employs advanced techniques like deep plane or SMAS lifts for natural, long-lasting results. Patients enjoy improved jawline definition and reduced jowls, with recovery spanning 12 weeks for initial healing and 46 weeks for strenuous activities.
Liposuction
Liposuction removes stubborn fat deposits from areas like the abdomen, thighs, and arms to sculpt the body. Dr. Morwood uses tumescent or ultrasound-assisted techniques for precision, with results becoming permanent when maintained through diet and exercise. Most patients resume light activities within 12 weeks.
Eyelid Surgery
Eyelid surgery rejuvenates tired, sagging eyes by removing excess skin and fat. Dr. Morwood customizes procedures to address upper or lower lids, often combining with brow lifts for comprehensive rejuvenation. Recovery includes 710 days before returning to work, with final results emerging after swelling resolves.
Natural Neck Lift
A natural neck lift tightens sagging skin and muscles to redefine the jawline and neck. Dr. Morwood focuses on subtle, balanced results, avoiding over-tightening. Patients recover within 12 weeks, with long-term outcomes enhanced by proper skincare and lifestyle habits.
