01
Understanding the procedure
A facelift addresses sagging in the lower face and, in selected plans, the neck. The skin and underlying support tissues are assessed together.
02
Is it right for you?
The pattern of laxity, skin quality, general health and expectations guide suitability. Different concerns may require different treatments.
03
Your consultation
Bring your questions and a list of medications, allergies and previous procedures. Discuss goals, alternatives, scars, costs and aftercare. An in-person assessment is essential before confirming a treatment plan.
04
Your treatment plan
Incisions and the depth of tissue work are tailored to anatomy. Discuss scar placement and any proposed neck treatment with your surgeon.
05
What to expect
The aim is improved definition with a natural resting appearance. Surgery does not stop ageing.
06
Time for recovery
Allow time for swelling, bruising and reduced activity. Follow-up guides the return to work and exercise; scars continue to mature.
07
An informed decision
Bleeding, infection, delayed healing, visible scars, sensory changes and facial nerve injury are among the risks discussed.
Your individual risk profile and the full consent discussion are addressed during consultation.PATIENT PHOTOGRAPHY

A little more clarity.
Will a facelift treat every sign of ageing?
No. Skin texture, eyelids and volume changes may need separate consideration.
When can I return to work?
Timing depends on the procedure, healing and your work. Agree on an individual plan with your surgeon.
How much will treatment cost?
A written estimate follows assessment and should clarify the procedure, facility, anaesthesia and follow-up costs where applicable.
