A facelift, also known as a rhytidectomy, aims to address the signs of ageing in the face and neck. This surgical technique involves tightening and elevation of the muscle and connective tissue layer in the face and resection of excess skin. The redraping of tissue positions skin, fat and muscle in an ideal position to create a more youthful appearance. A standard facelift only addresses the lower two-thirds of the face and neck. The forehead, eyelids and lips can be targeted by separate procedures, which could be combined with a facelift.

A neck lift, also known as a lower rhytidectomy, is a procedure that reduces the signs of ageing in the jawline and neck. A neck lift procedure involves removing extra skin and fat deposits from the neck, addressing neckbands and reshaping the neck and jawline to create a more defined and smooth appearance. A neck lift is usually done with a facelift but can be done alone in selected patients.

Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, improves the appearance of the upper and lower eyelids. The upper lids, lower lids, or both can be operated on to reduce the “tired” or "aged” appearance to a vibrant, fresh, youthful look. Dr Moodie will remove excess skin, muscle and fat where indicated to create the desired appearance and restore youthfulness.

Browlift is also known as a forehead lift. This procedure reduces forehead and frown lines while raising the saggy brows to a more youthful position. Brows become problematic in some individuals as they age and may become fairly “heavy" and descend to a lower than ideal position, causing “hooding”.

Scar revision is a type of plastic surgery that improves the appearance of scars on the body. Although a facial scar cannot be entirely removed, Dr Moodie can work to conceal the scar or make it less noticeable. In severe cases, facial scars may cause deformity of sensitive areas (eyelids, nose or mouth). He may use non-surgical or surgical techniques to achieve a more concealed scar or reduce the deforming effects.

An otoplasty is a procedure by which ears are reshaped, resized, or repositioned cosmetically. Otoplasty aims to make the ears appear more “normal”. Otoplasty is usually performed for excessively protruding ears in children. This defect could cause significant physical and emotional distress. To remodel an ear, Dr Moodie makes a small incision behind the ear it to place permanent moulding sutures and remove cartilage as needed.
