Aesthetic Surgery: Face
Facial aesthetic (cosmetic) surgery includes a range of surgical and non-surgical procedures designed to improve the appearance of the face and neck. These treatments aim to rejuvenate facial features, soften signs of ageing, and enhance natural contours, while maintaining a balanced and natural look. As we age, skin loses elasticity, facial fat shifts, and muscles weaken. This can lead to wrinkles, sagging skin, and a tired or heavy appearance.
Our specialist team offer a range of procedures to address these concerns tailored to your goals, anatomy, and lifestyle. Including:
Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) to treat droopy eyelids or under-eye bags
Brow lift to elevate sagging eyebrows and smooth forehead lines
Face lift to reduce jowls and tighten the lower face
Neck lift to address loose skin and excess fat under the chin or neck
Botox injections to soften dynamic wrinkles and prevent deep lines
Gender affirming procedure
People consider surgery for many reasons, including:
Feeling that their appearance no longer reflects how youthful or energetic they feel
Wanting to correct features that contribute to a tired, sad, or aged look
Seeking improved symmetry or balance of facial features
Desiring subtle enhancements or long-term results
These procedures can improve confidence and self-image when performed for the right reasons and with realistic expectations.
What's Involved?
Treatment plans are individualised and may involve one or more procedures. Your specialist plastic surgeon will discuss your goals and advise on the most appropriate options. Our experienced team will guide you through every step of the journey. We take time to understand your goals, provide honest advice, and offer treatments that prioritise safety, natural outcomes, and patient confidence.
Here's an overview of what’s involved in some common treatments.
Recovery
Recovery will vary depending on the type of procedure, but general expectations include:
Swelling and bruising are common in the first 1–2 weeks, especially after surgical procedures.
Mild discomfort or tightness, managed with medications and rest.
Stitches or surgical tape will support healing and are typically removed within 5–10 days.
Downtime may range from a few days (Botox) to several weeks (face and neck lifts).
Aftercare
You’ll be given clear aftercare instructions to help minimise swelling and promote good healing. Most people resume light activities within 1-2 weeks and return to normal routines by 3-4 weeks, depending on the procedure.
Final Results
Final results continue to improve over weeks to months, with scars fading and the face settling into its rejuvenated shape.
