Plastic surgery involves a broad spectrum of procedures that aim to adjust any areas of concern with your body. The most common causes of concern with the body are due to weight change, prior procedures and pregnancy. Both men and women can be candidates for a wide range of procedures to address these issues, ranging from a localised concern to complex whole-body adjustments.
Every concern with ones’ body is unique and can potentially be addressed by the correct plastic surgery procedure to the body. Dr Bernie is committed to working with you to develop a tailored surgical plan by carefully considering and addressing your unique situation through a personalised consultation process.
Dr Bernie offers a wide range of body procedures, the most common of which are listed below.

N abdominoplasty is a surgical procedure in which excessive skin and fat in the abdominal region is removed and the abdominal muscles are tightened.

The appearance of breasts in men is not uncommon. Gynaecomastia Correction is a surgical procedure to remove excess breast tissue and restore a more masculine appearance to the chest.
