Surgical
Facelift
A facelift lifts and re-drapes sagging skin and deeper tissue along the cheeks, jawline and neck to restore a firmer, more youthful contour while preserving your natural expression. Rather than simply tightening skin, modern technique repositions the deeper layers, which gives a more natural and longer-lasting result.

Who it's for
A facelift suits people noticing mid-face descent, jowls, loss of jawline definition or neck laxity that creams and non-surgical treatments no longer address. Good general health and realistic expectations are important. At consultation we assess your skin, tissue and goals to recommend the most appropriate approach — which may be a full or a more limited lift.
What the procedure involves
Following a thorough consultation, the surgeon agrees a plan and places incisions discreetly around the ear and hairline. The deeper facial layers are repositioned, excess skin is removed, and the contour is refined so the result looks natural and unforced. The extent is tailored to your anatomy and the changes you wish to address.
Recovery & downtime
Most swelling and bruising settle within two to three weeks, and many people return to social activities within a few weeks. Scars are placed to be discreet and continue to fade over months. We provide a structured aftercare plan with scheduled reviews throughout your recovery.
Risks & considerations
As a surgical procedure, a facelift carries risks including swelling, bruising, altered sensation and scarring, which we discuss fully. A facelift turns back the clock but does not stop ageing; results are long-lasting but your face continues to mature naturally. We will advise honestly whether surgical or non-surgical options best suit your goals.

- How long do results last?

- Is a full facelift always needed?
- No. Depending on your concerns, a more limited lift or a combination of treatments may be more appropriate.
