Common Surgical Services for Patients from Liverpool NSW
1. Breast Reduction Surgery
Breast reduction may help patients who experience physical symptoms such as back or shoulder discomfort due to breast size. Surgery involves removal of excess breast tissue and skin, tailored to the patient’s anatomy. Dr Kernohan performs this procedure in accredited hospitals and provides detailed recovery planning.
2. Abdominal Surgery (Post Weight Loss or Post Pregnancy Changes)
Patients who have lost significant weight or experienced pregnancy may have loose skin or weakened abdominal muscles. Surgery can remove redundant skin and repair muscle separation where indicated. Pre operative assessment guides the most suitable approach.
3. Facial Trauma and Reconstruction
In his hospital work, Dr Kernohan frequently manages facial trauma, including fractures and soft tissue injuries. Reconstructive surgery aims to restore both appearance and function. Each treatment is tailored to the patient’s injury pattern and overall health.
4. Rhinoplasty (Nose Surgery)
Rhinoplasty may be performed for breathing difficulties, trauma, or to adjust nasal shape. Dr Kernohan assesses airway function and nasal anatomy to determine the most appropriate surgical plan. Patients are counselled on risks including swelling, breathing changes, or the possibility of revision.
5. Gynaecomastia Surgery (Male Chest Surgery)
Men with persistent glandular breast tissue may consider gynaecomastia surgery. The procedure can involve tissue excision and liposuction depending on presentation. Assessment includes a review of possible contributing factors such as hormones, weight, or medications.
6. Skin Cancer Surgery and Reconstruction
Dr Kernohan regularly treats skin cancers including basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma. Surgery involves excision followed by reconstructive techniques such as flaps or grafts. Pathology and follow-up care are integral parts of management.
