Surgical Facelift Options
As we age, our face is responsible for most signs of ageing. In the natural ageing process, our skin loses its elasticity and volume. Combined with gravity, this, unfortunately, causes our face to draw downwards, nearer the bone, often causing unwanted sagginess and pesky folds and OnabotulinumtoxinAAbobotulinumtoxinAIncobotulinumtoxinAPrabotulinumtoxinALetibotulinumtoxinARimabotulinumtoxinBHyaluronic Acid FillersCalcium Hydroxylapatite FillersPoly-L-lactic Acid FillersPolymethylmethacrylate FillersAutologous Fat GraftingForehead Lines TreatmentGlabellar Frown Lines TreatmentCrow's Feet TreatmentBunny Lines TreatmentChemical Brow LiftLip FlipGummy Smile CorrectionMasseter ReductionJaw SlimmingDimpled Chin SmoothingCobblestone Chin SmoothingNefertiti Neck LiftMicro-BotoxMesotoxHyperhidrosis TreatmentChronic Migraine ReliefBruxism TreatmentTMJ TreatmentCervical Dystonia TreatmentNeck Spasm TreatmentBlepharospasm TreatmentLip AugmentationLip ContouringCheekbone EnhancementTear Trough FillersNasolabial Fold SofteningMarionette Line FillersLiquid RhinoplastyNon-Surgical Nose JobJawline ContouringJawline DefinitionChin AugmentationTemple VolumisingHand RejuvenationAcne Scar Subcision Filling.
To help turn back these effects of time, a range of surgical facelift options are available, giving us incredible youthful and natural-looking results. Facelifts represent the most advanced and refined youth restoration procedures available, allowing you to obtain substantial, impressive improvements.
What is a surgical facelift?
A facelift, or rhytidoplasty procedure, is the most comprehensive and appropriate answer to the ageing process and tissue laxity. Softening the features of the face, the procedure restores a fresher, younger look, and creates a tighter and ultimately ‘lifted’ appearance.
With a facelift, major folds and wrinkles of the face can be corrected, excessive sagging skin can be reduced and jowls can be removed. Soft tissue loss from the cheeks can also be corrected and the fallen comers of the mouth, that give a tired and sad look, can be elevated. And how does it work? In the procedure, an incision is made, and skin and tissue ‘lifted,’ then repositioned, and any surplus discarded. Absorbable stitches can then be used to close the incisions.
At The Private Clinic, we only ever used refined and minimally invasive modern Facelift techniques, to ensure you will achieve completely natural-looking results.
There are different variations of the procedure available, targeting different areas. In a surgeon facelift consultation, you can be advised on what is the best treatment for your individual requirements.
What are the different facelift types?
There are several forms of surgical facelift available which vary on the areas targeted and the technique used. In past decades, facelift techniques have evolved greatly and there is a considerable variety of preferences among surgeons.
Regarding areas targeted, at The Private Clinic, we have options to target all major areas. We offer the Full Facelift, Mini Facelift, Forehead and Brow Lift, Mid-Face Lift, and Facelift and Blepharoplasty, tailoring the treatment and technique used to each patient’s unique needs.
Please see outlined below, what can be achieved with each procedure and the scarring and incision lines to expect.
Can improve lines between the nose and mouth, surplus skin in the jowls area, and heavy or low brows, for example. Any sagging below the jaw can be corrected via another incision below the chin
The treatment is the best choice for those with some jowls and experiencing moderate skin laxity.
Minimal scarring compared to the full facelift
The results are more subtle in comparison to a traditional facelift but still can provide a firmer, tighter, and more rejuvenated appearance.
Low risk of swelling & bruising.
Scars are completely hidden under the hairline (5-6cm scar).
Can help to improve the overall look of your face.
Lifts sagging cheeks and gives the face a rejuvenated look.
Can also correct deep nasal folds.
For a blepharoplasty procedure, incisions are made along the upper or lower eyelid, or both, depending on your needs.
