Facial Surgery in Melbourne
Dr Rodrigo Teixeira is a Specialist Plastic Surgeon whose practice is focused on surgery of the face, eyes, nose and neck, including facelift and neck lift surgery, eyelid and brow surgery, rhinoplasty and facial fat transfer.
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. These include skincare, facials, chemical peels, laser therapy, radiofrequency, and ultrasound technologies. Treatments may assist with skin preparation before surgery or promote recovery and maintenance based on individual needs.
Other Plastic Surgery
Breast Surgery
Selected breast procedures include breast augmentation, reduction and mastopexy, with treatment planned according to individual anatomy, proportions, functional concerns and goals.
Body Contouring
Selected body contouring procedures include abdominoplasty and other procedures for changes in skin and soft tissue following weight change, pregnancy or ageing.
Cleft, Craniofacial & Facial Reconstructive Surgery
Dr Teixeira’s facial surgery practice is built on a reconstructive foundation, including fellowship training in craniofacial and cleft surgery and experience in facial trauma. This background in facial structure, function and growth continues to inform his planning in aesthetic facial surgery.
He continues to care for patients with cleft lip and palate at The Royal Children’s Hospital as part of a multidisciplinary team, working with specialists in paediatrics, ENT, speech pathology, dentistry, orthodontics and maxillofacial surgery. In private practice, reconstructive facial procedures include cleft rhinoplasty and skin cancer removal and reconstruction of the face.
Other Reconstructive Surgery
Dr Teixeira also performs reconstructive plastic surgery to restore form and function after injury, skin cancer or other conditions, including:
- Skin cancer removal and reconstruction on the limbs and body
- Hand surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome, Dupuytren’s disease, trigger finger, ganglions and hand injuries
A referral from your GP or specialist is recommended, and treatment is planned in collaboration with your other treating doctors where appropriate.
