Face and neck lift
As we age, skin loses its elasticity and our facial muscles begin to slacken and youthful volume is lost. The rate at which this occurs varies from person to person, but these changes can be addressed with a face and neck lift. With our surgeon’s skill and experience a natural look can be achieved with a much quicker recovery time.
A lower face lift effectively removes excess skin in the check, jowl and neck area leaving the jaw and neck lines smooth and firm. Deep wrinkles are greatly reduced and the whole face appears refreshed and rejuvenated. An upper face lift or brow lift corrects the forehead and can be combined with eyelid or eye bag correction. The decision as to which type of facelift is performed will depend on your requirements, the current structure and anatomy of your face and the effect that ageing has played on your facial appearance. Our surgeons can advise on the best treatment for your individual needs.
We would recommend Omnilux Revive & Plus light therapy prior to and following this procedure to ensure optimum healing. This can be discussed with your cosmetic surgery advisor in the first instance and if you are interested in this option, then such treatments can be conveniently arranged with our trained medical aestheticians.

Frequently asked questions
Will the wrinkles return?
Yes. During your medical consultation your surgeon will point out that the skin will continue to age. It is important that you understand that the ageing process will not stop after a facelift.
Who is the most suitable facelift patient?
The best patient is someone with jowls, loose neck skin and a general saggy appearance to the skin on the face and neck. If the patients also have lots of wrinkles, non-surgical facial rejuvenation treatment such as Botox or dermal fillers can be combined with a facelift for an improved overall result.
Will I need to take time off work?
Yes, normally 7 -14 days is required off work and the surgeon may advise you to take more time off. Surgery is performed under general anaesthesia and usually takes 2-3 hours and will require an overnight stay in hospital. The surgeon can also combine this procedure with lipoplasty (fat removal) under the chin.
Will I feel pain afterwards?
All patients will feel sore for several days after the operation and pain killers and anti inflammatory medication will be prescribed. The face will be swollen and bruised in the days following surgery and the full results may be obscured by swelling for several weeks which will be explained by your surgeon.
Could I have eye rejuvenation at the same time as a facelift?
Yes, the best results are achieved when these two procedures are combined resulting in an overall improvement.
Will there be scarring after a face lift or combined facial surgery?
In the case of eye rejuvenation an incision is made close to the natural crease of the eyelid. During a facelift incisions are made in front of the ear, in the crease line behind the ear and into the hairline. In both procedures post operative scarring will fade over time and become virtually undetectable. Omnilux Light therapy will assist with optimum healing and should seriously be considered both prior and following treatment.
How much can I expect to pay for this procedure?
Prices start from £5,750 - £6,250 for this procedure (regional variations apply).
