Why Assessment Matters

Facial Assessment

Looking Beyond the Surface

Many aesthetic concerns are simply surface expressions of deeper anatomy. What appears to be a single visible issue may reflect underlying bone, cartilage, soft tissue support, movement, skin quality, or function. Because ultimately, everything we do comes back to anatomy. This is also where experience makes a difference. Assessment is not only about identifying what is visible, but understanding what is driving it, what may be changed safely, and whether surgery is the most appropriate option. In some cases, this may mean surgery. In others, it may mean a different procedure, a staged plan, or no surgical treatment at all.

Surgical Procedures

Dr Teixeira provides a range of reconstructive plastic and cosmetic surgery procedures, personalised to the individual patient and realistic expectations.

Nose

Rhinoplasty, or nose surgery, can alter the shape and size of the nose for both cosmetic enhancement and improved function. This procedure addresses aesthetic concerns and helps alleviate breathing or airway difficulties.

Face

We offer a range of facial procedures, from non-invasive treatments to surgeries such as blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) and meloplasty (facelift). Each treatment is tailored to your unique facial structure and aesthetic goals.

Breast

Breast surgery procedures can improve the size and shape of your breasts, whether you want to enhance your curves with breast augmentation, reduce discomfort with breast reduction, or lift and firm them with a mastopexy.

Body

Body contouring surgery removes excess skin, reduces fat, and tightens tissues to alter body contour. Procedures like abdominoplasty, thigh lift, arm lift, and liposuction can improve comfort and function in daily life.

Non-Surgical Treatments

Dr. Teixeira and his team offer a comprehensive range of non-surgical facial and body treatments for patients seeking minimally invasive options or complementary procedures alongside surgery.

Our treatments include premium skin care, signature facials, chemical peels, laser therapy, radiofrequency, and ultrasound, as well as options for skin preparation before surgery and therapies to support post-operative recovery.

Each treatment is tailored to optimise and maintain your results.
