Facelift

Face lifting is a general term, which refers to the tightening of facial skin and deeper tissues. It seeks to improve some lines and wrinkles by removing stretched and lax skin in addition to repositioning other structures such as the cheek fat pad and jowl.

It does this through incisions running from the temple hair-bearing area, in front of the ear, behind and back into the hairline. There is a wealth of terms that may be confusing so a thorough consultation is important.

Rhinoplasty (Nose)

Rhinoplasty means changing nose shape or size, what can be achieved can be demonstrated with computer imaging during the consultation. 
Modern rhinoplasty may be carried out either through incisions made inside the nostrils –

 ‘closed rhinoplasty’ – or with a small additional scar between the nostrils – ‘open rhinoplasty’. 

The latter has become much more common because it allows a much clearer view, thus making the operation more accurate and predictable, especially in difficult noses or those requiring secondary surgery.

Eyelids - upper

Upper Eyelid Surgery or Blepharoplasty

Upper Blepharoplasty is the name for an operation that reshapes the upper eyelids by removing excess skin and in some cases excess fat. It also recreates the natural fold of the upper eyelid that may have been obscured behind redundant skin.

It is important to understand that blepharoplasty cannot remove all lines, especially fine ones and radial brow wrinkles. In some cases, laser or chemical resurfacing in combination with surgery can yield better results than with either alone.

Lower Eyelid Surgery or Blepharoplasty

Lower Blepharoplasty is an operation that refreshes eyelids by removing redundant skin from the lower eyelid. It may also be used to address ‘eyebags’ and recreate the youthful concave contour. 
It is important to understand that blepharoplasty cannot remove all lines, especially fine surface ones and ‘crow's feet’ that extend outside of the eyelid and onto the cheek.

On occasion, laser or chemical resurfacing may be combined with surgery to yield better results than with either alone.

Fat transfer

It is known that fat provides an essential support to skin and ageing process leads to some loss of facial fat. As fat disappears the skin creases and wrinkles excessively.  

Surgeons have always been seeking the ideal material to insert into skin, fat has been at the forefront of their interest as it is completely natural and there is usually plenty in supply for small volumes/areas.

Fat transfer, also known as fat grafting, is very successful in replacing lost fat and filling out deep folds and crevices.  It can also be used to reshape certain areas of the body to improve contour.

Both low brows and forehead lines can be addressed with a brow lift.

Chin and Cheek Augmentation

Facial balance contributes to what is known as facial beauty. There are many different proportions and balances in the face and one of them is the size of the chin which balances the nose. 

Chin and cheek augmentation is often used to shape the face, this can involved using implants or bone reshaping. Using implants is a simpler, with a faster recovery. The decision of implants or bone reshaping is decided at the time of consultation. 

The ideal size of the chin is that when a vertical line drawn between the lower lip and chin meet. Slightly receding, or weak chin, is more feminine than a protruding, or strong chin. Moreover, there is a fine balance between the nose and chin. A weak chin makes a nose look large and strong chin makes it look small. The same applies the other way round; a large nose makes a chin look small and a small nose makes the chin look strong.
