Facelift & Facial Surgery in Melbourne
Dr Rodrigo Teixeira is a Specialist Plastic Surgeon whose practice is focused on facial surgery, particularly facelift and neck lift surgery, eyelid surgery and rhinoplasty. His approach is anatomy-led, with surgical planning tailored to facial structure, function and individual goals.
His facial surgery practice is supported by fellowship training in advanced aesthetic plastic surgery and craniofacial and cleft surgery, together with more than 15 years of facial reconstructive experience in Australia and internationally.
Dr Teixeira is a faculty member of the Mendelson Advanced Facial Anatomy Course (MAFAC), a leading international program in facial anatomy and surgical education for plastic surgeons. His involvement reflects an ongoing commitment to advanced anatomical teaching and careful, individualised planning in facial surgery.
Facial surgery focus
Surgery for the face, nose, eyes, and neck, with aesthetic and reconstructive experience.
Anatomy-led planning
Many visible concerns reflect deeper anatomy rather than surface changes alone.
Why Assessment Matters
Looking Beyond the Surface
Many aesthetic concerns are 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 Areas of Practice
Dr Teixeira’s practice is focused on surgery of the face, nose, eyes, and neck. He also performs selected breast, body contouring, and reconstructive procedures, with recommendations guided by careful assessment and individual anatomy.
Facelift & Neck Lift
Facelift and neck lift surgery may address changes in the lower face, jawline and neck. Planning considers skin quality, soft-tissue descent, facial support and deeper neck anatomy, with the surgical approach tailored to the individual.
Eyelid & Brow Surgery
Upper and lower eyelid surgery and brow lifting may address changes around the eyes and upper face. Treatment is planned with attention to eyelid function, brow position, facial balance and surrounding anatomy.
Rhinoplasty Surgery
Rhinoplasty may address nasal shape, proportion, asymmetry, structural support and breathing. Planning considers the relationship between the nose and the rest of the face, as well as functional requirements where relevant.
Facial Fat Transfer
Facial fat transfer uses the patient’s own fat to restore volume and support facial contour in selected areas. It may be performed alone or alongside other facial procedures, depending on anatomy, volume loss and treatment goals.
Integrated Facial Aesthetics Care
Dr Rodrigo Teixeira has developed his Melbourne practice with a dedicated focus on facial aesthetics, bringing together surgical and non-surgical care through careful assessment, multidisciplinary care, clinical oversight, and long-term treatment planning.
Unveil Aesthetics supports this vision by providing non-surgical care where surgery is not indicated, or where skin quality, preparation, recovery, or maintenance may form part of a broader plan.
Recommendations are made after assessment and may include skin treatments, energy-based therapies, regenerative treatments, or other supportive options where clinically appropriate.
