The Skin Institute

Tuesday, February 26, 2013

As many people already know, The Skin Institute is the non surgical arm of Brighton Plastic Surgery and is located right next door.  It is the place to visit if you are thinking that you would like to enhance your appearance or skin quality but are not looking to have surgery at this time. That said, many of Mr Mutimer’s patients are also clients of The Skin Institute.

The two practices work very closely together to ensure the best result for those who seek improvement in skin quality and overall appearance.  For Mr Mutimer’s clients who opt to also seek treatment at The Skin Institute it can best be summed up as Mr Mutimer is the one who looks after the quantity of skin and The Skin Institute looks after the quality of skin. 

The Skin Institute is staffed by an experienced team including Michelle, Pauline and Colette who are all registered nurses who have worked in the operating theatre with Mr Mutimer for more than 10 years.  This experience working closely with Mr Mutimer has given The Skin Institute staff the benefit of knowing his expectations inside out.   The nursing experience also means that the staff are well equipped to talk about some of the procedures performed at Brighton Plastic Surgery. Working alongside the registered nurses are also Georgia, Eva, Tracey and Fiona.

The Skin Institute offers complimentary consultations.  At this initial consult and depending on your individual needs, a qualified practitioner will provide advice on skin care, skin treatments such as laser and peels, hair removal and acne and wrinkle treatments. All products and procedures utilised are of the highest standard and endorsed by Mr Mutimer.

Recently Mr Mutimer, along with Mr Shayan and Practice Nurses, Chrissy and Simone, attended the Plastic Surgery Congress (PSC) on the Gold Coast.  The Plastic Surgery Congress brings together the best in scientific and medical education from around Australia and the world and involves high quality presentations and networking events with colleagues, peers and opinion leaders.

Keith attended in his role as President of Interplast Australia & New Zealand. At the PSC Interplast supported the ongoing training of Plastic Surgeons in countries with which they run programs- in this case by sponsoring plastic surgeons from some of these countries to attend this event.

Here are a few images from the event:






All You Need To Know About Fat Injections

Plastic surgery related fat injections (h ..

Plastic surgery related fat injections, also referred to as fat grating is becoming quite a popular plastic surgery procedure in Australia with many surgeons now using fat grating techniques as both a stand-alone technique and/or as part of their approach to facelift surgery. 

The procedure involves transferring small amounts of a patients’ own body fat into areas of the body – often the face which is what we are focusing on here.  As we age, we lose volume in our skin. Fat injections aim to replace some of this volume, resulting in a more youthful appearance.

Fat injections can be used in many different areas of the face however most popular areas include the cheeks (resulting in a more rounded, fuller appearance of the cheeks) and also to fill out nasolabial folds (the vertical lines/sagging that appear from your nose down to your mouth). Lower eyelids and corners of the mouth are also commonly treated with fat injections. When used in isolation, fat grafting does not stop the process of ageing but it can often help in postponing more invasive procedures such as a facelift or brow lift.

So, how do you determine if you are a good candidate for fat injections? It is always best to consult with a Plastic Surgeon to determine what, if any, procedure is best suited to you and the results you desire.  Having said that commonly fat injections may work for you if you:

  • Desire large volume enhancements
  • Are physically in good health
  • Have a mild to medium degree of facial ageing
  • Are realistic about what can be achieved with fat injections

Results from fat injections can be long-lasting, however do vary from patient to patient. Fat injections are not permanent and will more often than not, have to be repeated. Although the time in between treatments does vary from patient to patient. We generally say that you should expect to lose around 50% of the initial fullness within the first 6 months.

If you would like to find out more about fat injections or book a consultation with Mr Mutimer feel free to call us on 03 9592 0522 or submit an enquiry through our site.

Interplast Trip To Nepal

Fresh off the plane yesterday, Mr Mutimer recently took part in a whirlwind trip to Nepal in his capacity as President of Interplast Australia & New Zealand.

Whilst in Nepal Keith met with Nepalese Government and Australian Embassy officials along with hospital administrators in Kathmandu to continue strengthening relationships in Nepal so that Interplast may continue their capacity to deliver programs in the area. There was an Interplast team working with the hospital staff during this time and they gave the hospital a sewing machine so that they would be able to make their own garments for their burns patients, a great addition to a hospital that already has remarkable sustainability systems in place.

Coinciding with his visit, Keith was also there to meet and thank members of an Interplast fundraising team, led by the always inspirational Turia Pitt, who departed Kathmandu for the hair raising plane ride into the world’s most dangerous airport (Lukla), and subsequent trek Everest Base Camp.

Keith was also fortunate to meet with Rotary volunteers & visitors whilst in Nepal to thank them for all of their fundraising efforts. A lot to fit into 4 days but an extremely successful and memorable trip.
