Facelifts

A facelift is an operation to reposition underlying muscle and fat and remove excess skin from your face and neck. The aim is to tighten the skin and create a smoother appearance, creating a more youthful look.

• Full Face and Neck Lift: A procedure to rejuvenate the entire face, including the jowls and neck area.
• Temporal Lift: A surgical technique to improve sagging or drooping skin in the upper area of the face, focusing in particular on the temples.
• SMAS Facelift: A procedure that tightens and repositions the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) layer of muscle and fascia to help create an improved facial contour.
• Mini Facelift: This shorter version of a traditional facelift focuses specifically on areas around the ears and jaws.
• Mid-Facelift: The version of the standard facelift is modified for people looking for improvements only to the midface area.
• Lower Facelift: A surgery to address sagging skin, wrinkles and lines in the lower part of your face.
• Jowl Lift: The procedure treats sagging jowls, where the surgeon removes excess skin around the jawline for tighter, more youthful results.

These procedures create a smoother and more youthful look, restoring confidence and allowing patients to see natural-looking results.

Neck Lift

A neck lift surgery is a minimally invasive procedure that can remove excess fat and tighten loose skin and muscles in the neck. Depending on the desired results, our facial plastic surgeon may also suggest liposuction to improve the neck's appearance.

Fat Removal to the Neck

Neck liposuction involves using specialised equipment to remove excess fat cells from beneath the surface of your skin for a slim neck profile. We often use this procedure alongside other facial plastic surgeries, such as facelifts or neck lifts, when excess fat affects how these procedures achieve their desired results.

Blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty is an eyelid surgery that removes excess skin folds around the eyelids. This can give you a more open-eyed look with fewer wrinkles and bags around your eyes. It can also help with vision problems caused by droopy upper eyelids blocking peripheral vision.

Blepharoplasty can also improve the shape and position of the upper eyelids by making them more symmetrical. This procedure is suitable for all skin types. It requires minimal downtime, resulting in youthful, vibrant eyes with a naturally refreshed look.

Upper Eyelid Lift

An upper eyelid lift involves making small incisions at or above your lash line. This procedure can help remove excess skin for a refreshed look with fewer wrinkles around the eyes. This cosmetic approach can help improve vision issues caused by overhanging upper lids that block part of your view when looking up or down.

The upper eyelid lift surgery can also remove excess fat deposits and any excess skin, restoring the youthful and vibrant appearance of the eyes. This procedure requires minimal downtime so that you can resume your activities, such as low-impact sports, within a week after surgery. Our medical team will advise you.

Brow Lift or temporal lift

A brow lift helps reshape and tighten the forehead to give users a more youthful, alert look. It can reduce wrinkles or hoods around the eyes while lifting the eyebrows into a higher position. By having this surgery, you can expect smoother forehead skin and a more refreshed appearance. Many enjoy long-lasting results and may enhance them further with other procedures like blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery).

Eye Bag Removal

Eye bag removal is a surgical procedure that erases puffiness and bags under the eyes of the lower eyelid. By removing the extra fat beneath the eye, this procedure can give users a more awake, youthful appearance. It can also help reduce wrinkles around the eyes and create a refreshed-looking appearance. Patients typically experience minimal recovery time with no visible scars and long-lasting results.

Nose reshaping or rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty is a popular surgical procedure used to reshape and alter the size or structure of the nose. The surgeon trims cartilage, removes bone, and injects filler material to achieve the desired shape and size according to the individual's preferences. Rhinoplasty results can range from subtle changes to dramatic transformations—providing patients with a more symmetrical and balanced facial profile.
