AFTER WEIGHT LOSS
Significant weight loss – through diet and exercise or weight loss surgery – can sometimes result in excess skin that can cause medical issues such as skin irritation. Queensland Plastic Surgery offers a number of procedures that can take place following weight loss to help address these concerns.

CHANGES TO COSMETIC PROCEDURE REQUIREMENTS
Ahpra - the Australian medical board - is introducing significant changes to the way that cosmetic surgery can be performed in Australia from July 2023. This will affect all of our cosmetic surgery patients.

If you are considering undergoing Cosmetic Surgery, or seeking a Consultation for a Cosmetic procedure, please click here to find out more about these new requirements.

NUE CONCEAL
SCAR CAMOUFLAGE

In partnership with Chrysalis Medispa, we offer NUE Conceal, an innovative cosmetic tattooing treatment that uses technology to colour match your skin tone with a bespoke tattoo pigment and camouflage scars and stretch marks.

Find out more here.
Surgical outcomes vary across individuals based on factors including genetics, age, diet and exercise.

All surgery carries risks and requires a recovery period and aftercare regime, including wearing post-operative garments. For more information about these, visit the relevant page for the procedure you are interested in, which you can find on our Services page by clicking here.
AFTER WEIGHT LOSS
Massive weight loss – through diet and exercise or weight loss surgery – is a great achievement and the result of hard work to look and feel your best. QLD Plastic Surgery is here to help with our array of procedures for after weight loss.

There are a number of cosmetic procedures that can help you complete your weight loss transformation by removing excess skin, repairing muscles and contouring your body.
