Treatments

There are many routes to becoming a plastic surgeon, and Dr. Moodley has undertaken the most thorough and demanding training process: qualifying in both general surgery and plastic and reconstructive surgery.

FACE

Dr Sean Moodley is a highly qualified and experienced plastic and reconstructive surgeon. His consultation process includes an extensive analysis of his patients that better equip him with the necessary information to suggest a combination of treatments, in order to give his patients their desired results.

FACETITE

FaceTite technology offers a facial contouring solution where no other currently exists. This technology is ideal for patients that are not yet ready to commit to a facelift, but want optimal outcomes. FaceTite is a procedure that treats loose skin in areas of the face, such as the jaw. The device uses radiofrequency energy to firm the tissue, tighten the skin and stimulate collagen production. The treatment is similar to BodyTite, except a smaller more accurate instrument is used. It is designed to be minimally invasive, with minimal scarring and no stitches required.

Thread lift: non-surgical / surgical

A non-surgical thread lift (Silhouette Soft or PDO threads) is a type of procedure wherein temporary sutures are used to produce a subtle yet visible “lift” in the skin. Instead of removing the patient’s loose facial skin surgically, Dr Sean Moodley simply suspends it. This has the effect of pulling the skin back slightly, subsequently lifting and tightening the face. In addition to being ideal for lifting the skin, threads combat aging in another way: by provoking the body’s “healing response” and causing the body to direct large surges of collagen to treated areas. This is important because of the vital role collagen plays in the aging process.

Facelift - Rhytidectomy

A facelift, also known as rhytidectomy, is a facial surgery procedure designed to help people reduce the visible signs of aging in the face and neck.

By reconstructing your facial features through muscle tightening, fat removal and trimming of excess skin, you will obtain a younger appearance. While facial surgeries are not designed to stop the aging process altogether, they can turn back the clock by as much as five to 15 years.

Mid Face Lift

A mid facelift enables rejuvenation of the face, lower eyelids and cheeks. A mid facelift is not the same as a traditional facelift. A mid facelift uses short incisions and fewer incisions. It treats a smaller area of the face.

Neck Lift

A neck lift, also known as a lower rhytidectomy, reduces or eliminates visible signs of aging in the jawline and neck. The surgery addresses loose neck skin, excess fatty deposits under the chin, excess fat in the lower face and muscle banding in the neck. By doing so, a neck lift procedure restores the natural contours in the face and neck.

Chin Implants

Chin enhancement surgery, referred to as chin augmentation, is typically performed to harmonize the mid and lower face.  This is usually achieved by restoring the golden ratio of the face.

Brow Lift

Brow lift surgery, also known as a forehead lift, is a procedure designed to correct signs of aging by elevating the eyebrows to a naturally relaxed position. This treatment serves to soften creases above the eyes, horizontal lines across the forehead and furrows between the brows that can make you look sad, worried or fatigued.

Eyelid surgery – Blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty, commonly referred to as eyelid surgery or an eyelid lift, allows an individual to remove bags from the lower eyelids and excess skin from the upper eyelids. It frequently is performed for cosmetic reasons but also enables people to eliminate sagging upper eyelids that otherwise can hinder vision.

Buccal fat pad removal

Buccal fat pad removal, also known as cheek fat removal or buccal lipectomy, is a surgery that removes excess fat pads from the cheeks to create a more contoured facial appearance. It is generally used to reduce chubby cheeks (“chipmunk cheeks”) that can be due to genetics, weight gain or age.

Body

“Our body is our temple. It should be treated with respect and reflect who we are in this world. Therefore I always give my patients extensive information on varied treatments by staying up to date with the latest technologies, so that they can make an informed decision and regain the body that truly mirrors them”

– Dr Sean Moodley

Liposuction

Liposuction is a less invasive surgical procedure. In fact it could be more aptly called liposculpture, where the body is artistically sculpted to enhance the natural contours. With more limited liposuction, the procedure can be performed under local anaesthesia. 

READ MORE

BodyTite

Following liposuction to various areas, like the arms, abdomen and inner thighs, there is usually skin laxity or excess.  This is dependant on age as well as individual patient factors. Until now the only solution was to do an excision of the redundant skin to improve the contours. Furthermore some areas like the area above the knee could not be tightened in any way, including excision.

Abdominoplasty

Abdominoplasty or tummy tuck surgery is designed for individuals who desire tight, contoured midsections.

Depending on the needs of his patient, Dr. Sean Moodley may tighten underlying muscles while removing excess tissue. Most tummy tucks are performed under general anaesthesia and require overnight care. This surgery offers some of the most dramatic body contouring enhancement, with results that will last forever if you maintain a healthy lifestyle.

A tummy tuck is almost always combined with liposuction of the midsection. This combination achieves a much greater aesthetic outcome.

Arm Lift – Brachioplasty

This procedure is used to correct skin excess of the upper arms, which is a result of massive weight loss and ageing. This entails removal of skin on the inner arm, sometimes the armpit and very rarely down the chest (extended brachioplasty).

BREAST AUGMENTATION

Breast augmentation, also referred to as augmentation mammoplasty or “boob job” involves using breast implants or fat transfer to increase the size and shape of breasts. This procedure can also restore breast volume lost after weight reduction or pregnancy. This helps in achieving a more aesthetic breast shape or the desired breast size symmetry.

BREAST REDUCTION

Disproportionately large breasts, known as macromastia, can cause both physical and emotional distress for patients. Patients with macromastia may experience physical discomfort resulting from the weight of their breasts. The resulting pain (neck, shoulder and back) can make it challenging for some patients to perform common physical activities. Along with the physical ailments of macromastia, some patients may suffer from emotional distress as a result of their large breasts.

GYNAECOMASTIA

Gynaecomastia is a condition of overdeveloped or enlarged breasts in men that can occur at any age. The condition can be the result of hormonal changes, heredity, obesity or the use of certain drugs. Gynaecomastia can either involve one breast (unilateral) or both breasts (bilateral).

MALE CHEST ENHANCEMENT

Pectoral implants are used in men with poorly developed stubborn pectoral muscles which have often not responded to traditional resistance training. 

The placement of pectoral implants is a surgical procedure performed to add fullness, size, and shape to the male chest. This is achieved by inserting a soft high grade solid silicone implant under the pectoral muscle through a small incision in the armpit. This procedure is often aided by the use of an endoscope to ensure correct placement of the implant and to obtain a much more aesthetic outcome. 

Dr Moodley is an expert body sculptor and has years of experience in sculpting the male body to the desired look that his patient seeks.

Calf Augmentation

Calf augmentation is the use of implants and/ or fat to increase the shape and size of the calf muscles.

RECONSTRUCTIVE surgery

reconstructive surgery

Reconstructive surgery is performed to treat deformities of the body structures that have been affected aesthetically or functionally. This could be due to congenital defects, developmental abnormalities, trauma, infection, tumours or disease. Reconstructive surgeries are often done to improve function and ability, but may also be performed to achieve a more normal appearance of the affected structure.

MORPHEUS 8 - RADIO FREQUENCY MICRONEEDLING

Morpheus 8 is a non-surgical advanced microneedling treatment. As we age our skin begins to lose elasticity, resulting in wrinkles, lines, and a sagging appearance.

Morpheus8 combines radiofrequency technology, microneedling and fractional treatments to stimulate collagen production. This tightens and smoothens out wrinkles on both the face and body. Tiny needles penetrate the skin and heat the tissue to stimulate the production of collagen. This is achieved by the direct action of heat and by the activation of the wound healing cascade at a higher level than conventional microneedling.

PRP (PLATELET RICH PLASMA)

PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) is a treatment designed to improve tissue regeneration, increase collagen production and rejuvenate the skin in the most natural and chemical-free manner. It is our popular effective choice for the regeneration of hair in both men and women.

The technique involves using one’s own blood that is separated into different components within special tubes after being centrifuged.

CHEMICAL PEELS

A chemical peel uses a chemical solution to improve the texture and tone of your skin by removing the damaged outer layers.

Although chemical peels are used mostly on the face, they can also be used to improve the skin on your neck and hands. Sun exposure, acne or even just aging can leave your skin tone uneven, wrinkled, spotted or scarred.

LIGHT THERAPY

Light Therapy is often used following all facial procedures to speed up recovery and enhance results. This entails using a combination of different lights at different times to reduce bruising and swelling facilitating healing. Light Therapy enhances DNA synthesis and also promotes cellular tissue regeneration.

Omnilux light treatments are performed by qualified skin therapists at the Renaissance Skin Science Institute.

REGENERATIVE MEDICINE:

The future of health

Regenerative medicine is the science of replacing, engineering or regenerating human cells, tissues or organs to restore or establish normal form and function. This broadly encompasses the use of cells, tissues, drugs, synthetic biomaterials and devices to help patients heal effectively from trauma, cancer therapy, other disease processes and birth anomalies. Regenerative medicine therapies aim to heal damaged tissues and the formation of new tissue.

STEM CELL THERAPY

Stem Cell Therapy refers to the science of using stem cells to regenerate cells and tissues in the human body.  Stem cells are commonly sourced from the umbilical cord, bone marrow and body fat (adipose tissue).

Dr Sean Moodley uses adipose-derived stem cells in his practice for its ease of acquisition, minimisation of side effects and problems as well as contouring of the recipient area (abdominal wall and inner thighs).

The first thing that surprised me about Dr Moodley is that he takes a much more holistic approach, taking your background, lifestyle and overall health into account, rather than purely focusing on aesthetic considerations.

He not only listened to my concerns, but the results of procedures were also natural and exactly as per request.”

– Kevin B, London, UK

Dr Moodley is a fantastic facial surgeon. He was the only surgeon willing to restore my face after a serious surfing accident. Throughout this tremendous traumatic time, he remained calm and friendly. I could only but completely trust him. The operation was only one step in a long process to full recovery. His care didn’t stop after surgery. He made me follow a strict aftercare skin treatment plan. Today my facial nerves are restored, I have virtually no scar and my face looks fantastically beautiful and balanced. Dr Moodley is a magician: he gave me my face back. Forever grateful.

– Lies Deneys, Brussels / Cape Town, Belgium / South Africa

“At the age of 66, I came from the U.K. to see Dr. Moodley with a badly sun damaged face and neck. I had no specific requests, or expectations. Within minutes of meeting him, I felt completely confident in his hands and knew I could trust him not to do too much. He explained clearly and concise what was possible, and carried out the procedures with meticulous care and patience. He made me feel relaxed and secure throughout the surgery, and I could not be more delighted with the results. I healed quickly and there are no scars. There was no pain. Whilst family and friends comment that I look refreshed and younger, I do not look as though I have had “work” done. Dr Moodley has a warm, engaging personality and is a genius in his field. I would have no hesitation in recommending him.”

– Lorelle Garland, London, UK 

Dr Moodley is a treasure amongst the many in his profession. His holistic approach and genuine care make his treatment more than just the pragmatic applications to the issues you may be facing aesthetically. He takes time to know you as a person and understand you. He then moulds his treatment to be as unique and individual as you are. You will never be a number or statistic in his care. Rather he carefully works together with you to allow you to be the best dream you can be for yourself. He is a perfectionist and gives you 100 percent of himself upon every visit.
