This is a very common procedure carried out by Transform's facial surgeon's and the results are excellent , giving those that have this procedure a firmer more youthful face.

Who will facelift surgery benefit?

People who feel that their face looks excessively old or tired, due to sagging, drooping, excessive facial creases, or a slack jaw and neck line, will benefit from facelift surgery. This procedure is very popular with both men and women. Patients who have undergone other facial surgery, particularly blepharoplasty (eye lift) will benefit from a facelift (or a brow lift), as the tauter skin on the forehead, temple and brow helps keep the eyes appear bright, open and wide-awake looking. 

How is a facelift done?

There are 6 different types of facelifts available; the selection will depend on your specific requirements, which you and your surgeon can discuss to find the best option for you. Facelift surgery is performed under general anaesthetic (you will be fully unconscious), with small, discreet incisions made to enable the surgeon to make your face lie tauter over your face. Some patients may also benefit from simultaneous procedures to improve the effect of the facelift, such as eye lift or eyelid correction, a brow lift, or lipoplasty to the chin and jaw area.

How long will a facelift take?

As general anaesthetic is required, you will required to stay overnight in the comfortable surroundings of your local Transform clinic. Find your local Transform clinic here.

What results can I expect from a facelift?

Patients who undergo facelift surgery can expect smoother, tauter skin on the face and neck. The appearance of the face will be brighter, fresher and more youthful.

How long is the recovery period from a facelift?

An overnight stay is required as you will be under general anaesthetic. As movement is restructured straight after surgery, patients are advised not to drive for 5 days immediately after the operation. Transform recommends 2 weeks’ holiday from work; 3 weeks if the eyes are corrected simultaneously. Full bandages are removed after 24 normally. Bruising and swelling will be apparent for up to 2 weeks; thereafter it can take up to 12 weeks for puffiness to subside. Dependant on the type of facelift, full recovery and return of all sensation could take up to 12 months.

Are there any after effects to facelift surgery?

Bruising and swelling, and puffiness with some loss of sensation for a period (see above). Aside from normal, post-surgery discomfort, you should not experience side effects from a facelift. If anything abnormal is happening, you are encouraged to get in touch with the clinic as soon as possible so we can see if there is any problem is and, if so, put it right straight away. We offer a comprehensive and extensive post-operative care programme, which includes detailed post-operative instructions and follow-up appointments with your surgeon at your local Transform clinic to ensure a speedy recovery, all at no additional cost.
