Geraldton to go under the knife

Face lifts, liposuction and other forms of cosmetic surgery will soon be available in Geraldton.

Suncity Cosmetics has now opened with doctor Ehsan Jadoon working in conjunction with doctors from the Suncity Skin Cancer Clinic.

Dr Jadoon has been working in Australia for eight years and has spent the past four years in cosmetic surgery.

Dr Jadoon said many health conditions resulted in poor self-esteem for patients and by having cosmetic surgery it helped them to feel better about themselves.

“Cosmetic surgery should be about enhancing who you are, not turning you into someone else,” he said.

“The majority of people just want a small procedure done.”

Dr Jadoon said initially he would be focusing on injectable cosmetics and laser treatments and would expand to offer face lifts and liposuction in the near future.

“In a place like Geraldton where there is so much sun damage, these treatments will reduce the visual effects of premature aging.”

Dr Jadoon said there was still a stigma in country towns about cosmetic surgery.

“We are a long way behind America and Europe in terms of the acceptance of cosmetic surgery,” he said.

“We will also be working alongside skin cancer doctors to prescribe appropriate care and follow-up treatments.

“Cosmetic medicine is all about skin health.”
