Dr Yun Phua's procedures aim to improve the function and appearance of every region of the face, including the brow and eyelids, nose, lips, ears, jaw, and neck. Dr Phua offers brow lift, blepharoplasty, rhinoplasty, otoplasty, jaw surgery and genioplasty, and facial contouring with implants.

Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to reshape the nose, enhancing its appearance and/or function. It is often performed alongside a septoplasty, a procedure that corrects a deviated septum to improve nasal airflow.

The goals of a rhinoplasty can vary and may include straightening a crooked nose, refining the nasal tip, restoring dorsal height, altering the size or shape of the nostrils, or reducing a dorsal hump. A rhinoplasty may be used to improve the appearance of the nose due to differences related to congenital conditions, facial trauma, or skin cancer surgery.

A genioplasty is a surgical procedure that alters the position, shape, or size of the chin. It is commonly performed to advance a receding chin or to correct lower facial asymmetry. This procedure can be performed in two ways: by moving the underlying bone or with an implant.

A genioplasty is frequently combined with other facial procedures, such as rhinoplasty or jaw surgery, to achieve a more balanced profile.

A brow lift is a surgical procedure that corrects a sagging or deeply furrowed brow. The procedure is often performed to reduce the creases, or ‘frown lines’, that develop across the forehead and on the bridge of the nose. It can also raise the eyebrows to a more alert and youthful position.

A blepharoplasty is a procedure that removes excess fatty tissue and/or loose skin surrounding the eyes to give the area a more rejuvenated appearance. This can be carried out on the upper and/or lower eyelid.

Other surgeries on the eyelid include correction of ectropion (when the eyelids turn out) or entropion (when the eyelids turn in).

A facelift is a surgical procedure that tightens and removes sagging skin on the face and neck in order to reduce wrinkles and restore a more youthful appearance. This procedure targets signs of aging by addressing skin laxity, deep folds, and loss of facial volume. Fat may be added to areas of the face as part of the procedure and excess fat in other areas may be removed or repositioned.

A neck lift is frequently performed alongside a facelift to address sagging skin, muscle laxity, and excess fat under the chin and jawline, creating a more defined and youthful profile.

Facelift techniques range from mini-facelifts with smaller incisions for mild aging concerns to deep plane facelifts, which provide more dramatic and longer-lasting results by repositioning deeper facial structures. The procedure can be customized to target specific areas such as the midface, jawline, or neck, depending on the patient’s goals.

Facial implants are a form of cosmetic surgery designed to improve and enhance facial contours. Implants are inserted in areas of the face to provide a more harmonious balance to facial features and its overall appearance.

Dr Yun Phua is dedicated to the timely and effective removal of skin cancers, including BCC, SCC, melanoma, and other soft tissue tumours. We prioritise early treatment and an aesthetic reconstruction following skin cancer excision.

Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) is by far the most common type of skin cancer. Fortunately, it’s also the least dangerous. Three-quarters of Australians who have skin cancer have BCC. It tends to grow slowly, and rarely spreads beyond its original site. However, if left untreated, it can grow deep beneath the skin and into the underlying tissue and bone, causing serious damage, particularly if it is located near the eye.

Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) is faster growing than Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC). It frequently appears on the head, neck, hands and forearms, which typically receive more sunlight. SCC is more dangerous than BCC because it can spread to other parts of the body if not treated promptly. SC can become life threatening if left untreated.

SCC looks like a red scaly spot or lump and is usually thickened. It can bleed easily and may ulcerate. It is usually tender to the touch.

Although melanoma is usually highly malignant, it can often be treated successfully if diagnosed early. If it’s not treated quickly, however, malignant melanoma may spread throughout the body and is often deadly. Malignant melanoma can occur on any part of the body, including areas that have not been exposed to the sun. In women, it is more common in the arms and legs, and in men on the face, back and chest. About half of all cases of melanoma develop from moles. The other half develop on previously normal skin as a new lesion.

Other soft tissue tumours include sarcoma, a rare type of cancer that develops in soft tissues such as fat, muscle, blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, nerves.

Reconstructive microsurgery involves the use of an operating microscope to repair small nerves, blood vessels, or lymphatic vessels. It is used in our practice for the transfer of tissue from a distance site (free flap) for head and neck reconstruction, limb reconstruction, and the coverage of complex wounds. Microsurgery can also be used for lymphatic reconstruction in patients with lymphoedema.

Head and neck reconstruction with free flaps is a complex surgical procedure often performed after the excision of tumours of the head and neck region. This reconstruction involves taking tissue from another part of the patient’s body and transferring it to the defect site in the head or neck. The tissue, known as a free flap, is reattached using microsurgical techniques to reconnect blood vessels.

The procedure can involve various types of flaps, including skin, muscle, bone, or combinations of these, depending on the size and nature of the defect. Reconstruction is typically performed immediately after cancer excision, aiming to restore anatomical function and protect vital structures.
