A torn earlobe doesn't always heal permanently the first time, especially if it's re-injured before it's fully settled.

This patient's earlobe had originally torn due to an earring accident and was repaired, but unfortunately tore again afterward. We offered a same-day repeat repair of the torn earlobe under local anaesthesia, giving her a prompt solution without a long wait for a second procedure.

Recurrent tears can happen, particularly if the area is knocked or put under strain again before the tissue has fully healed, but a further repair can generally be carried out successfully.

A cyst that keeps returning every few months is often a sign that residual cyst tissue was left behind during a previous treatment.

This patient had a recurrent cyst in the lower abdomen, flaring up roughly every 6 months. To finally resolve the issue, the residual cyst tissue and the entire cyst sac were completely excised under local anaesthesia, ensuring nothing was left behind that could cause it to return.

The procedure was performed as same-day surgery, giving the patient a definitive solution rather than another temporary fix.

Complete removal of the cyst wall and sac is key to preventing recurrence, particularly in cases where a cyst has come back multiple times before.

Two cysts, one visit, no need for separate appointments or extra downtime.

This patient had two cysts safely removed together in a single same-day surgery under local anaesthesia, making the process both convenient and affordable compared to treating them separately.

Combining multiple removals into one session means only one round of local anaesthesia and one recovery period, while still ensuring each cyst is properly excised in full to reduce the risk of recurrence.

A "Eurasian fold" is a popular request among patients wanting a natural, open crease that isn't too high or dramatic.

This patient wanted exactly that, a nice, open eyelid fold with a Eurasian look, rather than a more typical parallel Asian double eyelid crease. The photos show her progress at three stages: before surgery, immediately after, and one week later.

At the one-week mark, there is still some residual swelling and bruising present, which is entirely normal at this stage of healing. This will continue to settle over the following weeks, with the final result becoming clearer by her 6-week follow-up appointment.

Achieving the right fold style, whether a classic double eyelid or a softer Eurasian fold, comes down to careful, individualised surgical planning tailored to the patient's request and natural anatomy.

Xanthelasma can affect both the upper and lower eyelids, sometimes appearing on more than one area at once.

This patient had two xanthelasma lesions, one on the upper eyelid and one on the lower eyelid, removed using our CO2 laser xanthelasma technique. The photos were taken 4 weeks after treatment, showing good clearance with some residual redness at the laser sites, which is expected to fade over the coming weeks.

The patient was happy with the result and returned today to have her remaining eyelids treated, addressing the xanthelasma on the other side as well.

Sometimes an upcoming family event is exactly the motivation needed to finally address something you've been putting off.

This patient didn't want under-eye bags to be noticeable at an upcoming family reunion, so she went ahead with laser-assisted lower blepharoplasty under local anaesthesia. The photo shows her result 2 weeks post-op, with the swelling settled and a smoother, more refreshed under-eye area ready in plenty of time for the occasion.

Planning ahead of a big event gives the skin enough time to heal and settle, so patients can look and feel their best when it counts.

This is the result of laser skin whitening treatment after four sessions.

In this case, the primary target for treatment was freckles, one of the most common forms of pigmentation we address. Freckles generally respond very well to laser treatment, with most patients seeing significant clearance after just a few sessions.

Another benefit is longevity, results from freckle treatment tend to last a long time, especially when combined with good sun protection afterward.

Sometimes what appears to be a single lump turns out to be more than expected once surgery begins.

This patient was expected to have one lipoma removed, but on exploration, a second lipoma was found nearby. Both lipomas were successfully removed under local anaesthesia during the same-day procedure, with no need for a separate appointment or additional anaesthesia.

Thorough assessment during surgery ensures that any additional findings like this can be addressed immediately, giving patients a complete result in a single visit.

It's rare to see a 12-month follow-up photo after cyst surgery, as most patients don't return once their sutures are removed and healing is complete.

This patient happened to come back to the clinic for an unrelated reason, giving us a rare opportunity to see exactly how the scar had settled a full 12 months after the original cyst removal.

The result shows just how well these incisions can heal over time, with the scar continuing to soften and fade well beyond the initial recovery period.
