Face Surgery

A facelift, also known as rhytidectomy, is a cosmetic surgery procedure that aims to improve the appearance of the face by tightening and repositioning the skin and underlying tissue. The procedure can address wrinkles, sagging skin, and loss of definition in the mid-face, jawline, and neck. The procedure is typically performed under general anaesthesia. It can involve making incisions along the hairline, behind the ears, and under the chin to remove excess skin and reposition the remaining skin and underlying tissue. Fat may be added or removed to enhance facial contours. The procedure can take several hours, and recovery time can vary but may take several weeks.

SMAS facelift, also known as a Superficial Musculo-Aponeurotic System facelift, is a surgical procedure that tightens and lifts the deeper layers of the face and neck, known as the SMAS layer, to improve the appearance of sagging skin and wrinkles. The procedure typically involves making an incision in the hairline, lifting and repositioning the SMAS layer and then re-draping the skin to create a more youthful and refreshed appearance. The procedure is typically performed under general anaesthesia, and recovery time can vary, with most patients returning to normal activities within two weeks.

A deep plane facelift is considered the most advanced facelift technique available and provides the most dramatic results compared with all other techniques of facelifting. Deep plane facelift surgery can significantly reverse the signs of facial ageing and make someone appear significantly younger. A deep plane facelift exceeds the results of a SMAS facelift for a more natural outcome. We are one of the few centres in the UK to specialise in deep plane facelifts, and our surgeons have developed their own specialised variant of a deep plane facelift.

Micro and nano fat grafting are advanced cosmetic procedures that enhance and rejuvenate targeted areas of the body using your own fat. In micro fat grafting, small amounts of fat are harvested from one area of your body and injected into another to add volume or fill wrinkles. Nano fat grafting is a similar process but involves processing the fat further into a more liquid form, enabling it to be used for more delicate areas, like the face. Both procedures are minimally invasive, offer natural-looking results, and have the dual benefit of contouring the area where the fat is harvested.

Mini facelift or lower facelift is a minimally invasive approach to treating the signs of ageing affecting the lower part of the face. It is considered less invasive than a standard facelift with smaller incisions, less scarring and a quicker recovery. The procedure is often combined with complementary treatments including brow lift, eyelid surgery and facial fat grafting. The treatment can produce results that last over 10 years with many patients enjoying the benefits for even longer.

A one-stitch face lift is a minimally invasive procedure designed to address the effects of ageing on the middle part of the face. It is considered a less invasive alternative to a mini or full facelift. Incisions and scarring are virtually invisible, and recovery is very quick, with most patients back to normal activities the next day. A one-stitch facelift can be easily carried out with a local anaesthetic and takes no more than 45 minutes to perform.

A male facelift is designed to get rid of loose and sagging skin in men as a result of the ageing process. Our surgeons are skilled in all facelift techniques to rejuvenate a man’s face including a mini facelift, one stitch facelift and a full facelift. The common signs of ageing can be effectively addressed to produce results that last in excess of 10 years. Facelifts for men are commonly combined with complimentary procedures including eyelid surgery, neck lift and facial fat transfer.

A neck lift, also known as platysmaplasty, is a cosmetic surgery procedure that improves the appearance of the neck by tightening loose or sagging skin, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and creases, and addressing excess fat deposits in the neck area. The procedure can be done alone or in conjunction with other facial procedures, such as a facelift or chin implant. The procedure is usually performed under general anaesthesia, and recovery time can vary, but most people can return to normal activities within two weeks.

A mini neck lift or short scar neck lift that focuses on improving the appearance of the neck and jawline. It is a less invasive alternative to a full neck lift, and it typically involves smaller incisions and a shorter recovery time. During a mini neck lift, a surgeon will make small incisions either behind the ears or under the chin. Excess skin and fat are removed with the tightening of the remaining skin and muscles to create a more youthful, defined appearance. The procedure can be performed using local anaesthesia or light sedation, and most patients can return home the same day. A mini neck lift is best suited for patients who have mild to moderate signs of ageing in the neck area, such as sagging skin, jowls, or a double chin.

Male neck lift surgery is one of the most effective neck rejuvenation procedures for men to achieve a youthful and masculine-looking neck. A neck lift for men can help to get rid of sagging jowls for a well-defined jawline. Loose neck skin and vertical neck bands can be eliminated for a smoother-looking neck. However, a traditional full neck lift is the most common type of neck lift. A mini neck lift can be used for men with milder signs of ageing to remove excess skin.

Chin liposuction, also known as neck liposuction or submental liposuction, focuses on the area beneath the chin by removing unwanted fat in the chin, jowls and lower cheeks. Chin lipo is a good alternative to neck lift surgery in younger patients and is suitable for those with good skin elasticity. Through small incisions made beneath the chin and often behind the ears, submental liposuction is used to remove the desired amount of fat to contour the chin and neck effectively. Morpheus8 and FaceTite can be added for patients with mild to moderate skin laxity.

FaceTite is a minimally invasive procedure that uses radiofrequency energy to tighten and contour the skin on the face and neck. The procedure is performed by inserting a small, thin probe under the skin, which delivers heat energy to the tissues, causing them to contract and tighten. This can help to improve the appearance of sagging skin, wrinkles, and other signs of ageing. The procedure is typically performed under local anaesthesia or IV sedation, and recovery time varies depending on the individual. Usually, the patient can return to normal activities within a week.

AccuTite is a minimally invasive procedure that uses radiofrequency energy to tighten and contour the skin on small, hard-to-treat areas of the face and body, such as the lower eyelids, nasolabial folds, and neck. It is a smaller version of the FaceTite device and allows the surgeon to work on smaller and more delicate areas. The procedure is performed by inserting a small, thin probe under the skin, which delivers heat energy to the tissues, causing them to contract and tighten. The procedure is typically performed under local anaesthesia and recovery time varies depending on the individual. Usually, the patient can return to normal activities within a day or two.

Chin surgery, or genioplasty, is a procedure that reshapes the chin to enhance or reduce its size, creating a more balanced facial appearance. Performed by skilled surgeons, it may involve inserting an implant or modifying the existing bone structure. The surgery can be tailored to individual needs, addressing concerns like a receding or overly prominent chin. Often, it’s carried out to achieve better harmony with other facial features, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing look. The consultation process at Centre for Surgery ensures that the procedure aligns with the patient’s goals, providing a personalised approach to chin augmentation or reduction.

Chin augmentation surgery, or mentoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure that enhances the chin’s prominence, giving it a more defined and balanced appearance. Whether it’s done through custom-fitted silicone implants or bone reshaping, this surgery can transform a weak or receding chin into a strong facial feature. At Centre for Surgery, our experienced surgeons create tailored plans to suit individual facial proportions, ensuring a harmonious result. With minimal downtime and a significant impact on your overall appearance, chin augmentation is an excellent option for anyone looking to improve their facial contours and boost their confidence.
