Your face is your most personal, unique feature. It’s the first thing someone notices about you, and it’s what makes you, you. So what do you do when the face you present to the world no longer represents the more youthful, self-confident person you feel on the inside? While ageing is a fact of life, you can feel good at any age. There are many ways the Eden Institute team can help you discover a refreshed, more youthful look by removing lines, excess fat and sagginess.
Helping you look 5 to 10 years younger, a facelift can be an effective, comprehensive way to treat sagging cheeks and jowls, loose skin and deep creases around your eyes and mouth. Basically, a facelift involves an incision along the hairline which allows your underlying facial tissue to be tightened.
Dr Edinburg’s approach is to deliver the most natural, professional results, without an obvious ‘facelift’ look. He works with you to come up with a treatment plan that is realistic and addresses your specific needs. Your consultation with Dr Edinburg gives both of you time to explore all options, so that you can have your concerns addressed by a highly a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon.
For a more subtle, natural-looking change, you may wish to consider a short scar facelift procedure. Also known as a mini facelift, this cosmetic surgery requires less recovery time than traditional facelifts.
The SMAS Facelift is great for people with facial ageing particularly in the lower two thirds of the face and upper neck.
The revolutionary new SMAS (superficial musculo-aponeurotic system) procedure involves tightening the deeper layers under the skin and minimises skin stretching.
It involves
It results in almost unnoticeable scars at the front of the ear and within the sideburn hair and no incisions or scars behind the ears.
Practically, no two facelifts are the same, as this is not ‘off the shelf’ surgery. Each person has the surgery tailored according to what you specifically require to address your unique concerns. Dr Edinburg has the skill and expertise to devise, alter, modify and adapt the surgery technique.
Other treatments that can complement a facelift include a necklift, browlift, eyelift, lip enhancement, liposuction, fat transfer, chin augmentation, nose job and smile line improvement, as well as a variety of personally tailored skin laser treatments, all of which may be performed at the same time.
A facelift procedure usually takes around 3 to 5 hours, normally conducted under general anaesthetic.
Normally your hospital stay lasts 1 to 2 days, after which time you should be up and about. You should rest for about a week afterwards.
Swelling and bruising will settle within 1 to 3 weeks, with the best results seen in 1 to 2 months. Most scarring will refine over the next year.
An Eden Institute facelift aims to give you that ‘just returned from holidays’ look, so instead of realising you have had a facelift, people may instead notice how refreshed and well you look.
Your surgery will be personalised by Dr Edinburg, so that you have only the best enhancement procedure for your needs. For example, some people require an eyelid lift as part of their facelift, while others need a browlift.
Dr Edinburg will work with you to tailor your facelift to meet your individual needs.
To minimise scarring, facelift incisions are made along the hairline and in the creases behind your ears. Dr Edinburg personalise each facelift, so your scarlines may be differently placed when compared with another person. Dr Edinburg will always use his specialist expertise to ensure you obtain the best possible scars for your face’s contours and features.
Whilst we continue to age after we have had surgery, the improvement you get from your facelift lasts for a lifetime.
Cost will depend on the method and extent of the lift but may range from $9,000 (surgeon’s fee). Once Dr Edinburg has had the opportunity to meet with you and discuss your concerns, we will supply a full estimate of fees for your proposed surgery, so that you know all your facts and figures - medical and financial - before you make your decision.
If you feel as though you have a heavy forehead that gives you a furrowed brow or makes your eyes look droopy, the latest cosmetic surgery techniques can help.
A heavily lined brow not only makes us look older but can give us a permanently worried or tired expression. That’s where a browlift from a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon can help reduce the creases in your forehead, improve your frown lines and elevate drooping eyelids.
Brow lift procedures can reverse tell-tale lines and give you a more refreshed, youthful look. There are varying degrees of surgery, ranging from a simple procedure under local anaesthetic to procedures requiring day stay surgery under general anaesthetic.
Your Hills area plastic surgeon, Dr Edinburg is a specialist in brow lift procedures, and will assess your unique needs to give the refreshed yet natural look you desire.
His years of experience as a qualified plastic cosmetic surgeon mean you will benefit from the highest level of expertise and care. Dr Edinburg will assess with you, and plan together with you to decide whether a browlift, facelift, or eyelid rejuvenation is the correct procedure for you. If appropriate in your case, he may suggest a combination. Dr Edinburg’s skill and expertise mean that he has a repertoire of treatment choices available, and will search for the right treatment option for you.
As procedures vary depending on your needs, a browlift takes anything from less than an hour to two hours under local or general anaesthetic.
A tight feeling and headaches are possible a few days after a browlift, but these can be relieved with painkillers.
You will generally fully recover in around 7 to 10 days, when swelling and bruising will subside, ready to go out and about.
Most people return to work within 10 days of their browlift. If you work from home and your job isn’t too physical, you may be able to resume work sooner.
The modern procedures employed by Dr Edinburg mean you will only need a few small incisions hidden in your hairline.
Cost will depend on the method and extent of surgery but may range from $3000.

Enhancing a small chin or reducing a large one, chin remodelling can bring balance and symmetry to you face.
Chin reduction involves reshaping the bone to achieve a smoother contour while chin augmentation involves implants or repositioning of bone.
It is not uncommon for either of these procedures to be performed in conjunction with a face lift or nose reshaping.
A qualified and experienced plastic surgeon with years of experience in improving people’s faces, Dr Edinburg will discuss the latest techniques for the most appropriate solution for you.
If possible, your own natural tissue will be used for a chin reconstruction. Other options include placing a contoured piece of silicone at the front of your jawbone or moving part of your jawbone forward.
To give you the best possible aesthetic outcome, your cosmetic surgery may include a chin procedure in conjunction with a nose job. No matter which procedure you undergo, you can rest assured that the Sydney plastic surgery team at the Eden Institute is dedicated to making sure your experience exceeds your expectations of comfort and professionalism.
Genioplasty is carried out in hospital as a day stay, or longer if your jawbone is moved. Surgery takes 1-2 hours.
After a chin procedure, some patients experience discomfort and find that smiling and talking can be difficult in those first few days, but painkillers will relieve this.
Recovery from chin reshaping normally takes 7-10 days, after which time you can go back to work and resume normal activities. Vigorous exercise should be postponed for the first few weeks after surgery.
Because most incisions for chin reshaping are made on the inside of your mouth, you shouldn’t have any visible scarring. If you need an incision under the chin, you will have a small, well-concealed scar.
Cost will depend on the method and extent of surgery but may range from $ 7000. This form of surgery is highly personalised to each person, so costs will depend on the proposed surgery tailored for you.

As we age, our necks become susceptible to sagging skin, excess fat and a loosening of the muscles. If you feel your neck makes you look older than you feel, we can offer you a range of cosmetic surgery procedures, such as necklifts or neck liposuction, to improve the appearance of your neck and make you want to show it off again.
Necklifts use the latest techniques include tightening of loose, sagging skin and muscles, as well as liposuction, liposculpture or fat transfer. By talking to you about your particular needs and expectations, as a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon Dr Edinburg may also recommend combining a necklift or neck liposuction with a facelift or non-surgical skin rejuvenation, such as laser resurfacing to smooth out those wrinkles in your skin and removal of brown spots to give you optimum results to your neck, jawline and skin.
Depending on your needs and the procedure required, a surgical necklift takes 1 to 3 hours under general anaesthetic, with a day or overnight stay.
You may feel slightly bruised and swollen, with discomfort improving over the first couple of weeks.
Most patients recover fully in around 7 to 10 days.

As with so many of our treatments, the specialist skills provided by Dr Edinburg and his team mean that costs depend on which one of our numerous treatment options will be right for you.
Eyelid rejuvenation (blepharoplasty) removes the excess skin and fat from your upper or lower eyelids to help you look as youthful and rested as you feel. It can also be combined with the latest techniques such as a facelift or browlift, as well as laser resurfacing, peels or wrinkle treatment injections, to improve lines in the lid area.
As a Sydney cosmetic plastic surgeon with years of experience in eyelid surgery, Dr Edinburg will ensure you experience the highest level of comfort and confidence. It is vital that the correct surgery is planned for you. For example, some patients need those little fat pockets removed, and in some patients, a different approach is needed, as removal of those fat pockets would result in a hollowed-out look. Dr Edinburg has the expertise to plan, modify or adapt the appropriate surgery for you.
Eyelid rejuvenation (upper or lower) can usually be performed in around an hour, while more complicated procedures may take longer.
This will vary according to individual patient’s requirements. Your eyelid lift can often be done at the Eden Institute, unless you require a more complicated procedure which would require hospital day surgery.
Some lower eyelid procedures may involve laser treatment only, with no surgery. This can be done at the Eden Institute, either under local anaesthetic or with sedation. Dr Edinburg will help you determine which option is best for your eyes.
An eyelid lift can normally be performed under local anaesthetic and sedation at the Eden Institute, though more complex procedures may need to be done under general anaesthetic.
Laser (MicroLaserPeel and/or Profractional) treatments can be done under local anaesthetic or with sedation.
Sutures from surgery are usually removed at one week, and any visible scars can be covered with makeup the next day. You should be fully recovered in around 7 to 10 days, with bruising taking slightly longer in a few cases.
By working with a highly qualified and experienced eyelift surgeon such as Dr Edinburg, you can be assured that you will achieve the most natural result available.
Cost will depend on the method and extent of surgery but may range from $3500. Medicare and Health Fund rebates may be applicable for some upper eyelid surgeries. Our expert team will assist you to work out all medical and financial information.

You must also wear a headband at night for 4 weeks and avoid contact sport for 6 weeks.
Otoplasty is generally not overtly painful. You will be prescribed pain medication to assist any pain you may have.
Dr Edinburg has helped children as young as five, and will consult with you and your child to determine the best age considering the relevant physical and psychological factors.
