IGuide® Minimally Invasive. Maximum Results.

Melbourne Institute of Plastic Surgery is pleased to introduce iGuide® the ground breaking new standard for redefining the neck line to its patients.  The iGuide® Surgical Suture System offers an unprecedented, minimally invasive technique that can be performed without general anaesthesia and with minimal incisions, giving you all the benefits of a necklift, without the tell tale scarring. 

With the minimally invasive iGuide® patients can expect to experience:

• Immediate results
• Short recovery time
• Local anaesthesia
• Minimal bruising and swelling
• Minimal to no scarring

iGuide®was developed by US Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Dr Greg Mueller to improve neck, face and brow contours inherited through aging and genetics.

Calf implants or calf augmentation is a poular procedure that will create a cosmetic fullness in the lower leg area. Calf implants are best suited for lower leg sculpting and can also correct muscle imbalance as a result of both physical and congenital defects such as clubfoot, spina bifida, polio and disproportionate calf development.   The calf implants are made of a solid but soft silicone and once inserted they look very natural.  The shape and size of the implant can be tailored to the specific requirements of the patient.  As with all surgical procedures, there are associated risks with the calf augmentation procedure  including bleeding, infections, DVT and malposition.

Macrolane is a Hyaluronic Acid filler for soft tissue areas of the body including buttocks, calves and breasts.  It is performed under local anaesthetic and will leave no scarring. In realation to Breast Augmentation, Macrolane can only be used for patients wanting a small Breast Augmentation, usually one cup size. Currently, to administer Macrolane to patients, the clinic would be required to obtain TGA approval on a case by case basis.
