Questions

We want you to feel confident at every stage of your journey, so here are answers to the questions patients ask most often.

What does facelift surgery involve?

Facelift surgery typically includes tightening deeper facial tissues and removing excess skin to create a smoother, more youthful appearance. The exact technique will depend on your individual needs and the type of facelift performed.

Am I suitable for a mini facelift?

A mini facelift may be ideal if you're looking for subtle improvements with a shorter recovery time. It’s best suited to those with early signs of facial ageing. A consultation will help determine the most appropriate option for you.

How long is recovery after facelift surgery?

Recovery times vary, but most patients resume light activities within two weeks. Swelling and bruising may take several weeks to fully subside. Final results develop gradually as healing continues.

Will I look natural after a facelift?

Our approach prioritises a refreshed, natural result. The goal is to enhance your appearance without changing your identity, restoring facial balance and reducing signs of ageing.

Can I see facelift before and after photos?

Yes. During your consultation, you’ll be shown a selection of facelift before and after images to help set realistic expectations and understand potential outcomes.

The Process

Pre-Treatment

Before surgery, you’ll attend a detailed consultation to discuss your goals, review your medical history, and explore the best surgical approach for your needs. Pre-operative instructions will be clearly explained.

Treatment

Facelift surgery is usually performed under general anaesthetic. Your surgeon will make discreet incisions, reposition underlying tissues, and remove excess skin to create a firmer, smoother facial contour.

Post-Treatment

After surgery, you’ll be closely monitored and provided with guidance on wound care, rest, and follow-up appointments. Ongoing support ensures you feel confident and cared for throughout your recovery.

Sides Effects & Risks

As with any surgical procedure, there are potential risks such as swelling, bruising, scarring, or temporary numbness. Your surgeon will explain all possible risks and how they are managed during your consultation.

Ageing Can Affect Your Confidence
