  • Dr. Mark Vucak: A Plastic Surgery Icon in Australia

    Queensland, Townsville, Australia — Dr. Mark Vucak was born in Kuwait. As a young child, Dr. Mark had lots of experience travelling here and there. This may not come as a surprise as his father was an aircraft engineer while his mother was an air hostess. He had an adventurous life and one might not have thought of him going into the surgery industry. He used to participate in international canoeing competitions and also represented Australia in chess competitions when he was much younger. He decided not to follow his parents’ footsteps and created his own path.

    Upon completing his education, he began to work as a surgical consultant at the Royal Perth Hospital, Freemantle Hospital and Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital. While working as a surgical consultant, he gained more practical first-hand knowledge of surgical operations.

    As for plastic surgery in Queensland, Dr. Mark is a pioneer in regional Queensland. In 1994, Dr. Mark established the first plastic surgery practice in Townsville, Queensland Plastic Surgery. Additional offices were also opened in Mackay, Cairns and Rockhampton. This has been a great outcome for Townsville.

    Allowing people to undergo procedures without having to travel out of North Queensland has made it more affordable for patients and helped with their recovery. When people decide to have plastic surgery, they have to undertake additional heavy costs on transportation. They might have to fly to big cities to get their surgeries done. Queensland Plastic Surgery saves these costs and provides optimum service and after care.

    As someone dedicated to making people feel more comfortable in their bodies, Dr. Vucak became known for his plastic surgery. In 2000, he went on and established Chrysalis Medispa, also in Townsville.

    According to him, treating multiple members of a family is something he finds fulfilling about working in North Queensland. The people of North Queensland are grateful to him for bringing such advanced practice to the neighbourhood. In the region alone, Dr. Mark Vucak has operated on over 70,000 patients.

    As the years roll by and technological improvements evolve, plastic surgery has also evolved. Dr Vucak has seen significant changes in the techniques and trends for plastic surgery. He revealed that, while breast augmentation used to be the commonest and most preferred type of surgery in the 80s and ’90s, breast reduction has become more popular recently.

    Dr. Vucak also recognizes the way social media has contributed to growth in plastic surgery. With the evolution of social media, people are encouraged when they see a before and after picture of someone, they know who has had a tummy tuck or breast reduction. They see how possible it is to make these changes.

    Dr. Vucak’s extensive experience is an important part of his success. As he has gained experience in his field and grown more confident in surgical techniques, his focus has turned more to his patients, seeing how people’s lives change as a result of their procedure.

    As a very successful surgeon, Dr. Vucak has performed thousands of breast reductions, tummy tucks and other procedures, and more than 10,000 breast augmentations. Aside from carrying out plastic surgeries, he also shares his knowledge with surgical trainees and interns at James Cook University.

    Outside of his work, he is enjoys spending time with his family, which includes his two young daughters. While he continues to be busy at Queensland Plastic Surgery,

    Dr. Mark Vucak tries to balance his work life and family life. With two daughters, his family enjoys spending time in nature and exploring beautiful North Queensland. Dr. Mark strongly believes that they are lucky to live in Queensland. Having travelled far and wide, he sees Queensland as a very beautiful treasure.

  • Dr. Franco – Delving Deeper into Technological Evolution in the Field of Plastic Surgery 

    New York/United States– Dr. Johnny Franco, owner of Austin Plastic Surgeon in Austin and San Antonio, Texas, has always been at the forefront of plastic surgery technology and innovation. In his specialty, in his industry, if he’s not ahead of the tech curve, then his patients are not availed to the best options on the market. For Dr. Franco, that’s not an option.

    “It’s crucial to stay on top of new technologies in plastic surgery because techniques, tools, various kinds of lasers and what not are always improving patient experiences, final results, reducing down time, pain and swelling, treatment time, level of invasiveness and sometimes lower treatment costs. It is very important that we know what’s being FDA approved and how these new treatments work, how they benefit our patients and open more doors for optimal treatment planning and post-care results,” said Dr. Franco.

    Currently, he’s seeing excellent advancements in the fat-burning space. He and his team have been using EON laser treatment to target stubborn fat pockets on healthy patients looking to spot-treat specific areas. While he can treat any large area below the clavicle that fat frequently builds up, he sees a lot of success in the abdomen, where it was first approved to treat. In clinical trials, most people saw about a 20% – 25% fat reduction. In those same trials, 96% of the responding patients reported that they would recommend EON treatments to others.

    Breast augmentation has always been one of the most popular aesthetic procedures in the world. As plastic surgeons they are always exploring options to enhance their results for their patients. One of the newest technologies in breast implant surgery is creating this internal bra by use of a soft tissue support mesh. This support sling is made of the same material they use for the sutures that they use during surgery and dissolve over the next year. The concept is that the “internal bra” created by this support allows the implant to stay in the perfect position without relying on the skin to hold the implant into place. Once the pocket for the breast implant has had time to heal, the soft tissue support mesh dissolves so there is no residual material left in the breast over time. The soft tissue support is most commonly used around breast implants, however it can also be used to create an internal bra for breast reductions and breast lifts.

    “I’m seeing the popularity of these different special support devices rise because people don’t want to get a secondary procedure down the road. There’s been a big push recently where our goal is not just to have a look and feel of natural breasts, but also maintain those satisfying results for a longer period of time,” said Franco.

    This soft tissue support technology isn’t a replacement or exchange for the new silicone implants, which people refer to as ‘gummy bear’ or highly cohesive gel implants, which is still very popular and effective. He doesn’t see those options going away because implants consistently give people such a good appearance in terms of being full, but still natural and soft. The true benefit is the combination of both of these medical advances.

    “With these soft tissue support mesh devices, the idea is that they’re going to help take the weight off of the breast in supporting those new gummy bear implants. The concept is to give patients a natural, full gorgeous appearance that is going to last over time. These combination treatments are truly exciting advancements for plastics surgeons and patient,” said Dr. Franco.
