Facelift FAQs
1. Who will a facelift operation benefit?
Facelifts are a suitable cosmetic procedure for anyone who has excessive wrinkles, loose skin, visible jowls and deep lines.
2. Are there different types of facelifts?
We offer a range of lift options that can help to refine the appearance of your lower face, jaw line and neck. Depending on your individual circumstances and what you want to achieve, your Surgeon will help you decide on the best lift for you.
3. Who will perform my surgery?
At Transform, you’re in the care of highly qualified and experienced people every step of the way. When you choose Transform for your facelift, you can be confident that your procedure will be carried out by Surgeons selected for their cosmetic surgery skill and knowledge. We regularly review our Surgeons patient satisfaction rate and outcomes to ensure you get the best results possible.
4. Where will my rhytidectomy take place?
Your surgery will take place in one of Transform’s dedicated cosmetic surgery hospitals, not a rented ward in a private hospital.
This means we can ensure the highest standards of clinical excellence and care for our patients. Every patient within the hospital is there for cosmetic surgery and our staff know exactly how to take care of you before, during and after your treatment. You’ll enjoy a friendly welcome, a sympathetic ear and complete discretion at all times.
When you choose to have cosmetic surgery with Transform, you will benefit from being in our care every step of the way.
5. Will I have to stay overnight in the hospital?
Facelift’s are performed under general anaesthetic (you will be fully unconscious) which will require at least one night stay in our comfortable hospital. However long you spend with us, you can rest assured you will experience the highest levels of comfort, hygiene and privacy.
6. Can I combine a facelift with other surgeries?
Many people who undergo a facelift have an overall aim to look younger. Some patients choose to combine their facelift with an eye lift, facial lipoplasty or cheek or chin implants to give a more youthful appearance to the face. Likewise, some cosmetic dentistry procedures will not only enhance your smile, but also give a fuller, younger look to the face.
7. How long is the recovery period from a facelift?
Transform recommends 2 weeks holiday from work; 3 weeks if the eyes are corrected simultaneously. Bruising and swelling will be apparent for up to 2 weeks; thereafter it can take up to 12 weeks for puffiness to subside.
8. What results can I expect from a rhytidectomy?
A smoother and more defined facial and neck contour can be expected - giving you a younger, brighter looking appearance.
9. Will the surgery get rid of all my wrinkles?
No. they work best on the lower half of the face. Other procedures may be required to target the eye and forehead. Line and wrinkle smoothing injections (commonly known as Botox) are often used to enhance or prolong the effects.
10. How long with the results last?
The visual effects of a facelift are long-lasting but depend on the individual. The natural ageing process may cause the skin to sag again.
11. How much does face surgery cost?
Facelift’s cost from £5,625. Here at Transform, we don’t see why finance should be a barrier to your happiness; that’s why we offer 12 months 0% interest free credit. Find out more about flexible finance options.
12. How do I arrange to have a facelift?
You can use our online form or call us to arrange an appointment with a Patient Care Co-ordinator at your local Transform clinic.
Your Patient Care Co-ordinator will take you though the likely costs and the process, from consultation to aftercare so you know exactly what to expect.
13. Do I have to pay to see a Surgeon?
Absolutely not. Unlike many cosmetic surgery providers, your consultation with a Surgeon will be completely free of charge with no obligation to go ahead.
Once you have seen a Patient Care Co-ordinator, you will be invited to a free consultation with a Surgeon. We believe that you shouldn’t have to pay to get the expert medical information you need to make an informed decision about your procedure.
