Skin
Wrinkled and sun damaged skin can become much smoother, clean and refreshed as a result of a laser treatment. Lasers remove the sun damaged layers.
The erbium laser is for used for face resurfacing to remove any surface imperfections and to smooth out the wrinkles. Dr Lanzer will not do this on olive skin or Mediterranean dark skin as there is a risk of post operation pigmentation. The ideal patient has fair skin and wrinkles on the upper lip and around the eyes together with blotchy sun damage. The results from resurfacing can last many years.
Lift
There are many different types of Suture lifts, Dr Lanzer uses, thin threads that are passed just under the skin to pull the outer skin layer upwards and outwards. The thread is fixed to the ear cartilage and produces an immediate lift in the skin without the need to excise any skin from the face.
The suture skin lift elevates the droopy skin. We recommend to patients to do a mirror test on yourself, by pushing their skin towards their ear and that appearance is an idea as to how they may look. The disadvantage of this procedure is it does not last for ever and there will be a fold or wrinkle in front of the ear.
Eyes
The lower bags beneath the eye can be removed without cutting the skin on the outside. The fat that causes the bulge and the tired looking shadow effect is easily accessible from the inside surface of the eyelid using laser to create a very fine incision, through which the fat comes out.
There are no stitches, no visible skin marks and the result is a more rejuvenated eyelid. Excess skin on the upper eyelid can also be removed using this technique, resulting in a more open-looking eye. The Co2 laser is used for the eye areas.
Lips and cheeks
Many women seek fillers for lip and cheek enhancement to replace lost volume that typically occurs with ageing.
Tightening
The Venus Freeze is a non-surgical device that Dr Lanzer has helped introduce to Australia for face and body treatments. The device allows for anti-ageing treatments, circumferential reduction, cellulite reduction and skin tightening. The treatment is virtually painless, a massage like experience for the patient that promotes natural skin healing without injuring delicate skin. The Ulthera is the new Ultrasound face skin tightening therapy that helps tighten and lift the skin. As it is non-surgical results can vary.
Liposculpture of the neck area
Liposculpture will produce a long lasting effect which tightens the neck line area.
Non-Surgical Facial shaping treatments
Fillers:
Dermal fillers and anti-wrinkle injections can be used to rejuvenate, volumise, lift and reshape the face without the need for surgery.
A makeover may benefit from some non surgical options such as face muscle relaxants, face fillers and cheek volume fillers.
Areas include:
Frown, Brow, Forehead, Crows Feet, Nasolabial folds, Lip augmentation, Accordian lines, Lip rejuvenation, Chin, Mouth frown, Marionette lines
Lip enhancement: can be injected into the lips and the areas around the lips to promote volume, shape and size of the lips
Cheek enhancement: can help to replace the volume in the cheeks that has been lost with ageing.
Muscle relaxants or Anti-wrinkle injections help to relax muscles in the face and wrinkle areas leaving a soft and natural appearance.
Makeover and Makeup
Dr Lanzer is a great advocate of makeup. Firstly makeup protects the skin from sun damage which is the primary cause of aged skin. A sunblock cream relies on a chemical reaction to block the sun rays whilst the makeup is a physical barrier almost like putting a curtain in front of the sun. Naturally the makeup is stronger. A lot of research has gone into sun blocks and Dr Lanzer prefers mineral makeup which still allows the skin to breathe somewhat. Dr Lanzer strongly recommends makeup after a face erbium laser or face makeover because it covers the initial pink skin, protects from the sun and most of all it enhances the result. Makeup on wrinkled skin does not always look good but on a fresh lasered skin always makes the results look better.
Make-over and Makeup – The 3 Sisters story
Here is a collection of photos of three sisters who altogether underwent a “makeover with Dr Lanzer” and was featured on the Today Tonight program on channel Seven in 2009.
Part of the makeover was surgical but they also had a cosmetic makeover. This means they have had their hair done and are wearing makeup and new clothes. Please take this into consideration when assessing the results of the surgical makeover.
Also note, these are not meant to demonstrate before and after shots in the surgical sense as they are in different poses. The purpose of the photos is to outline how an overall change including a cosmetic makeover can lead to a nice natural result.
MAKEOVER & MAKEUP
All photographs represent one person’s experience, and results may vary for each patient. All photographs are of actual patients of Dr Lanzer. The visible change in these photographs has occurred as a result of the procedure/s undertaken. Best results are obtained when the procedure is combined with a balanced diet and exercise.
Some before and after photos shown are not exact, in that they vary in light, contrast, clothing, background, distance from camera, hairstyle and make-up.

We offer a FREE, No Obligation Cosmetic Surgery Consultation and a detailed explanation of the procedure.
Dr Lanzer can email all patients a detailed consent form which provides information related to the surgery. This information is made available to all patients before surgery, allowing enough time for the patient to ask any questions they may have.
