Areas of Facial Surgery
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 techniques may address changes around the eyes, brow, temple and upper face. Planning considers eyelid function, brow position, tissue descent and overall facial balance.
Rhinoplasty Surgery
Rhinoplasty may address nasal shape, proportion, asymmetry, structural support and breathing. Planning considers both the nose and its relationship to the rest of the face, with functional considerations where relevant.
Facial Fat Transfer
Facial fat transfer uses the patient’s own fat to add volume, support and contouring to selected areas of the face. It can also be performed in combination with other procedures, depending on anatomy and treatment goals.
Non-Surgical Treatments
Unveil Aesthetics in Melbourne offers a range of non-surgical facial and body treatments designed to support surgical outcomes or serve as standalone options.

Treatments may assist with skin preparation before surgery or promote recovery and maintenance based on individual needs.
