Lipo, short for “liposuction,” is a widely sought after cosmetic surgery. In fact, unattractive fat deposits known variously as “love handles,” “muffin tops,” and “bra rolls” are notoriously difficult to shift even rigorous dietary restrictions and demanding physical labour. Particularly when combined with skin tightening methods, liposuction can be used to precisely shape fat and generate more attractive curves. Face and neck, upper arms, breasts (male breasts in gynecomastia), back, belly, flanks, buttocks, hips, thighs, knees, ankles, and calves are all potential areas of application for liposuction. These areas are predisposed to fat storage as a result of genetics and are consequently resistant to exercise.

Plastic Surgery in South African has gained increasing popularity due to the fact that Plastic Surgeons are of an outstanding standard and keep up to date with all of the latest techniques world-wide through ISAPS (The International Association of Plastic Surgery)of which Dr van der Poel is a member.
Having graduated from the University of Cape Town (UCT) in 1976, in 1984 Dr van der Poel became a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh.
He specialized at Wits University and then completed a fellowship with Prof. Thomas Rees, Head of Cosmetic Surgery at NYU, in New York 1986. He was awarded a second fellowship with Prof. Ivor Pitanguy in Rio De Janeiro, a pioneer in body sculpting. In 1987 he furthered his studies in New Orleans with the Lipoplasty Society of North America. He consulted at the Wits University until 1988 when he opened his Private Practice at the Rosebank Hospital in Johannesburg where he is still practicing. Rick is married with four children.
He is a Member of the Association of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons of Southern Africa (APRSSA) as well as the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS).
On consultation Dr van der Poel will be able to advise you as to which procedure best suits your needs. Dr van der Poel has a wonderful bedside manner, patients are put at ease on first introduction. He takes time to listen to his patients to ensure that their needs as well as their expectations are met. Patients do not feel rushed during their consultations as we allow enough time for the procedures to be discussed at length.
Dr Van der Poel performs a range of cosmetic procedures. He is conservative in his approach and will give honest feed back as to whether you are a fitting candidate for the procedure. It is also important to establish whether your expectations are realistic.
In some cases it is necessary for pateints to lose weight prior to surgery in order to achieve the best result. This would be the case in procedures such as Abdominoplasty or Tummy Tuck’s where the excess skin is removed after weight loss.
It is therefore advisable to have lost all the weight you intend losing before having the procedure as weigh loss after surgery would result in further sagging of the skin.
A Full Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) is fitting for a patient who has lost a large amount of weight and has loose skin which would need to be removed. The scar is more extensive than in a Mini Tummy Tuck and would extend from Hip bone to hip bone. This can be combined with liposuction to the abdominal area.
A Mini-Tummy Tuck procedure is performed when patients require a small amount of liposuction to their abdominal area. Performing liposuction alone to the abdominal area can result in loose skin. It combines well therefore with a mini Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty). Dr van der Poel would be able to advise you on consultation whether you would do better with a Mini or Full Abdominoplasty.
Dr van der Poel performs many breast surgeries, he pays careful attention to scarring and achieving a natural result.
Breast Reduction (Reduction Mastopexy) surgery is one of our most rewarding procedures as in some cases it can transform the lives of patients. Patients often comment that had they know what a difference it would make to their lives they would have had it done sooner.
Breast Lift Surgery/Mastopexy is a surgery to lift the breasts to their optimal height. The nipple is repositioned and where necessary reduced. The scar line is the same as with a Breast Lift procedure which is around the areola, down the infra-mammary fold and underneath the breast. The breasts are taped carefully for six weeks post operatively to take any tension of the scars as they heal. We also advise our patients to apply the RegimA Scar Repair cream twice daily massaging gently along the scar line to break down scar tissue and soften the scar.
Face Lift (Rhytidectomy) surgery, the extent of the procedure depends on the specific needs of the patient. In some patients a Mini Face Lift or Lower Face Lift is required. This would be discussed and decided at consultation. Eyelid surgery (Blepharoplasty) is often performed with the Face Lift surgery. This may involve removing skin or excess from the upper eyelid as as well as tightening the skin under the lower eyelid and removing extra fat from the fat pads under the eyes.
Liposuction (Suction assisted Lipoplasty/SAL) often referred to as body contouring or body sculpting is a very popular procedure. The ideal patient is someone who is close to their ideal weight however they have areas which are out of proportion with the rest of their body. You are born with a certain number of fat cells which are distributed over your body. For some people they their fat cells are distributed more in certain problem areas such as hips or abdominal area. Once these fat cells have been removed and the patients the patient is sculpted to be more in proportion. This makes future weight loss or gain more proportionate.
