Mr Karri very carefully plans each of his facelifts to ensure that the facelift scars are barely visible.

This particular patient was unhappy with the fat around her ankles, and so after a consultation to check there were no other underlying health problems, Mr Karri undertook ankle (cankle) contouring to give them a new, slim shape.

Your areolas are the pigmented areas surrounding your nipples. Like breasts, areolas vary widely in size, colour, and shape. It’s perfectly normal to have large or differently sized areolas, but if you’re uncomfortable with the size of your areolas, a reduction is entirely possible and a relatively simple surgery.

There is no bigger feeling of accomplishment than losing a dramatic amount of weight, whether through diet and exercise or after bariatric (weight loss) surgery. Unfortunately, after shedding a large number of pounds, inches of sagging skin may still remain - this excess skin often acts as a reminder of a patient's previous larger shape and can make them unhappy, especially when no amount of time in the gym will be able to rid the frame of this stretched, lifeless tissue.
19 September 2018
This lady told us she was very unhappy with her deflated, sagging breasts. After a long conversation about the look and size she desired, she underwent breast enlargement surgery under Mr Karri with 325cc round, moderate-profile implants, placed under the muscle.
