I cannot speak highly enough of my experience with Dr. Kernohan and the entire team at Pure Visage! From the very beginning, they demonstrated an exceptional level of care, understanding, and professionalism that truly set them apart. My journey to this procedure was not straightforward—four other surgeons turned me down before I even had the chance to consult with them, simply because my procedure is often associated with a different age bracket. However, the team at Pure Visage approached my case with open minds and genuine compassion. They took the time to hear my story, understand my concerns, and explore my ideas without judgment. Dr. Kernohan and his staff went above and beyond, offering me multiple online consultations to ensure I was completely comfortable and informed about the process. This level of accessibility and willingness to address every question I had made me feel truly valued as a patient. Now, three weeks post-op, I am beyond thrilled with the results. Dr. Kernohan's attention to detail and his ability to listen to my concerns about both my current appearance and long-term ageing have left me with results that exceed my expectations. It’s clear that he is not only a skilled surgeon but also someone who genuinely cares about his patients' happiness and confidence. I can confidently say that choosing Pure Visage and Dr. Kernohan was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. The entire process was seamless, and I felt supported every step of the way. If you’re looking for a surgeon who will truly listen and deliver outstanding results, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Kernohan and the Pure Visage team!
Dr Kernohan has been such a wonderful surgeon who was very reassuring towards my surgery. My outcome was better than I expected. Which didn’t surprise me as Dr Kernohan is such a perfectionist that I knew my results would be better than I expected.
Dr kernohan provided me with a double mastectomy as a trans man, his excellent treatment has given me a new quality of life that I am able to appreciate everyday. I cannot recommend him highly enough, great surgeon.
My experience with Dr Michael Kernohan and his team at Pure Visage has been a blessing to me. Dr MK was both professional, personable and knowledgeable. I felt at ease throughout the whole process and he answered all my questions and concerns and I felt he took the time and attention needed at every step to achieve the best result. He achieved for me the outcome that we had discussed. I would also like to commend his team of Anita, Bel, Elise & Sharyn who have been invaluable to me from my initial appointment through to my recovery. I am recommending Dr MK and his team to everyone I know. Do yourself the gift of having him as your Dr.
I will readily recommend Dr Kernohan, his nurse Elise & staff at every opportunity. From the first meeting they have exceeded all my expectations. Their communication & care has been second to none. Look no further.
I highly recommend Dr Kernohan for your plastic surgery needs. Dr Kernohan’s attentive, kind and personable approach to my needs made my surgery experience amazing. Great quality care both pre and post op
My experience with Dr Kernohan was fantastic. As it had been a number of years since my first breast related surgery I wasn’t sure about how to choose a doctor. Too many doctors online! Lucky for me I had a friend recommend Dr Kernohan and from the first meeting I felt I’d made the right decision. Dr K and his team managed all aspects of my treatment (pre and post surgery) very professionally but also with a genuine care for my well being. Cosmetic procedures like this are never cheap but I certainly believe I received value for money.
Dr. Kernohan and his staff are hands down the most knowledgeable, professional, and caring team I have come across. Together, they walked me through every aspect of my surgical process: from understanding the procedure, to finances, to surgery and healing, and beyond after care. I would not hesitate to recommend them and cannot say thank you enough.
I had an amazing experience with Dr Kernohan. I am an extremely nervous person and I was so scared of having my procedure . Dr Kernohan explained everything in full , step by step , and everything he explained happened the same way . After My procedure when I needed to contact Dr Kernohan with questions he would contact me back or as soon as he could which wasn’t long after I contacted him . I would recommend Dr Kernohan to anyone thinking of getting surgery etc . I will be having more surgery with Dr Kernohan in the near future . The procedure I underwent was a fantastic success ! Despite my anxiety I have continual faith in Dr Kernohan for future procedures .
Dr Kernohan is very professional put me ease, explained the process. Have had a few visits now Would highly recommend him. The reception staff are lovely the waiting room is calming & relaxing nice atmosphere.
You drive the agenda, not the surgeon. It is about how you feel. Things to think about - you have circled upper middle and lower facial areas so it is maybe time to think of a more comprehensive solution. If you think about it, you can have work done early which is subtle or leave it until later and have a more transformative result. Ultimately you should aim to keep your natural look. Fillers are great at small corrections but don't overdo it.
If it requires two different surgeons then making sure they are both available at the same moment in time can be a challenge. Hernia repair is often done with abdominoplasty but rarely with breast augmentation. It would be entirely surgeon dependent and you would need a workup for the hernia to work out which repair is needed.
Hi our mid face fact compartments tend to descend with age, genetic and weight loss influences. There isn't an easy fix but there are options including a facelift with a small amount of focused liposuction. You could try liposuction alone but without lifting the soft tissues the results may be disappointing.
A standard facelift often addresses the midface and neck. If the neck needs more work (like an incision under the chin) then it is a neck focused facelift and some would call that a lower facelift. Eyelids, brow lift, fat transfer are all options, tailored to the individual, each adding time and therefore cost. Grafted fat loses 50-60% of its volume but once stabilised it stays forever. In faces it is brave to overfill with fat so a top up can be needed later on. Using your own tissues is always better than synthetic in my view. I just think it causes less problem, looks natural and ages with you.
There really isn't any convincing evidence (randomised controlled trials), that I am aware of, that supports a single dose of steroid. It is however not uncommon practice throughout surgery and the logic is, that it reduces swelling. It has been studied in breast surgery, tonsillectomy, wisdom tooth removal to name a few, most studies are fail to show a convincing benefit. It is known to produce a sense of euphoria and well being which might help in the day procedure setting. Focusing on nerve blocks and systemic pain medication is more valuable in my opinion.
