Facial Surgery
Most people tend to shy away from the thought of a facelift.
“Too radical” and “too freaky” are the terms I most commonly hear from patients. To most, a facelift conjures up the image of the windswept, feline-like appearance and cheek bones that reach for the sky. Presumably this look may be preferred by some patients, however it is not the only option.
What is achievable by Facelift surgery?
My personal view on facelifting is that it should not radically change the way you look. Now this is only my personal philosophy but it is important to know what your surgeon is thinking before you sign up for surgery. Personally, I want friends and family who know the patient well to notice a difference without being able to define it.

It is important to remember, any invasive procedure carries risks and individual results may vary depending on factors, not limited to but including age, genetics, diet, lifestyle and existing medical conditions. Before any surgery, we recommend you consult a qualified health practitioner who should discuss with you at length these risks including possible complications and recovery/aftercare instructions specific to your procedure. If unsure, always seek a second opinion from a specialist plastic surgeon.
