Treatment Overview

At Top Cosmetic Surgeon, several expert surgeons offer face lift in London. The most common technique used is the SMAS facelift, tightening both the underlying muscular layer and the skin for longer-lasting results.

Your Face Lift Consultation

During your initial consultation, your consultant will thoroughly examine your face and neck and discuss your expectations. They will explain suitable facelift procedures and any additional treatments like brow lifts, cheek implants, chin implants, or liposuction that might help you achieve your goals. Your general health and any previous surgeries will also be discussed.

What to Expect from Face Lift in London

Face lift in London at Top Cosmetic Surgeon typically takes about 2 hours, longer if combined with other procedures. The surgery involves lifting the skin, tightening the underlying muscle, and repositioning the skin, with sutures placed to minimize scarring. Post-surgery, a drain is usually inserted to remove excess fluid and is removed the next day, allowing you to go home after an overnight stay.

Cosmetic Procedures That Can Be Done with a Face Lift in London

• Brow Lift: Endoscopic or open brow lifts to tighten the forehead and raise eyebrows.
• Blepharoplasty: Eyelid reduction and removal of bags under the eyes.
• Cheek Implants: Soft silicone inserts or fat grafts to enhance cheekbones.
• Chin Implant: Soft silicone implants to improve chin definition.
• Facial Liposuction: Reduces excess fatty tissue under the chin and around the jaw.

Recovering from a Face Lift

Post-surgery, you will experience bruising and soreness for a few days but can return to normal activities within 2-3 weeks. Full exercise and activity can be resumed after about 6 weeks. Final results are visible after about 4 months, with scars fading over the following year.
