How it works.
What to expect, start to finish.
Your surgeon examines how your face has changed, then plans a lift that addresses the deeper layers, the neck and the jawline together. Surgery takes three to four hours under general anesthesia, you are presentable at two weeks and the result settles over three months.

Good to know.
How long does a facelift last?
The lift turns the clock back rather than stopping it; most clients enjoy the change for ten years or more.
Will the scars show?
Incisions follow the hairline and the natural curves of the ear, and fade to fine lines over the year.
Can it be combined with eyelid surgery?
Yes. Many clients combine a facelift with eyelid surgery or fat grafting in one anesthetic; your surgeon advises at the consultation.
Questions worth bringing.
- What should an individual assessment clarify before I consider facelift & neck lift?
- How will the surgeon assess my health, goals and suitability, including alternatives to surgery?
- Who provides anesthesia, where would surgery take place and how are complications and follow-up handled?
