Facial surgery at its best produces results that look natural — not "done." Dr Yaprak's approach is rooted in understanding the structure of your face first, then choosing the technique that fits. Some patients benefit from a carefully planned facelift; others from a 45-minute eyelid procedure under local anaesthetic. The consultation is where that decision is made together.

Mini Facelift
A refined lift of the lower face and jawline performed awake, in-rooms, with no overnight stay. Suited to patients at an earlier stage of facial ageing where a full facelift would be more than is needed.

Upper and lower eyelid surgery to remove excess skin, reduce puffiness, and restore a well-rested, alert appearance. Upper lids from $4,500 under local anaesthetic. Southern Cross criteria may apply.

Elevates descended brows, softens forehead lines, and restores an open, refreshed expression. Several techniques available — all performed under local anaesthetic as day-stay surgery.

Tightens and smooths the neck and jawline — addressing loose skin, muscle banding, and excess fat beneath the chin. Often combined with a facelift for a harmonious overall result.

Ear reshaping and repositioning for protruding or asymmetrical ears. Available for adults and children. Typically performed under local anaesthetic, with general anaesthetic available for younger patients.
Learn more →A common question before consultation is whether a procedure has to involve general anaesthesia. For several facial procedures, it doesn't — and for others, general anaesthetic is the safer and more comfortable choice.
You remain awake and comfortable. The area is fully numbed — no sedation, no overnight stay. Often preferred by patients who want a straightforward experience and faster return to normal life.
Performed at Braemar Private Hospital with a specialist anaesthetist. Generally the preferred choice for more extensive procedures, longer operating times, or where patient comfort and precision are the priority — as is often the case for more significant facial rejuvenation.
