This procedure is performed to lift and tighten the lower neck area. Operation is performed under local anaesthesia and sedation and most patients may go home on the day of the surgery. An incision is made behind the ear and after the skin has been mobilised, the muscles are tightened and skin is redraped over it.

The bandage stays for 2-3 days and most patients can resume normal activities with 3-5 days. Scars are hidden behind the ear and the hair in the neck.

This procedure addresses the problem of droopiness and laxity in the mid-face /cheek area and outer brows. The operation is performed under local anaesthesia and sedation and most patients may go home on the day of the surgery. An incision is made in the temple area, the cheek fat pad is elevated with the help of stitches and the skin is re-draped over. This creates fullness in the cheek area and reduces the depth of nose to mouth lines, thereby creating a more youthful look. The bandage stays for 1-2 days. Most patients can resume normal activities within 3-5 days. Scars are hidden within the hair.

In some patients Neck Lift or Temple Lift may be combined with S- face Lift to provide total rejuvenation.

Cosmetic surgery, like any other surgery, involves a "trauma" to the human body and there are risks associated with any procedure. Each person's body is different, and your general health, level of fitness, age and genetic profile will all have an effect on the speed of healing and also on the risk of side-effects.

If you smoke, drink alcohol, are overweight and/or take drugs for medical or other reasons, the risk of complication during and after surgery can be greatly increased. Smoking, in particular, is discouraged because it increases the risk both of infection, wound breakdown and thrombosis (blood clots).

After a facelift it is normal for all patients to experience some pain and discomfort, swelling, numbness and bruising. These symptoms can be controlled and reduced by taking regular prescribed medication.

Your surgeon will see you when you have come round from the anaesthetic to check that all is well, and you will usually be discharged the same day. You'll be given medication and post-operative instructions and will wear a small bandage over the incision site for 1-2 days.

Most of our S-Lift patients resume normal activities after 4-5 days, and some return to work in this time. It depends on the individual. You will also receive a check-up with our nurse 7-10 days after surgery to remove your stitches. The puffiness and bruising usually clears up in 2 weeks and normal make-up may then be applied.

Your surgeon will see you again, usually 8-10 weeks after the procedure for a full post-operative consultation.

We're confident that you will be delighted with the results. For that reason, we guarantee that we will provide post-operative cover for a full three years after your procedure. It's our way of ensuring that you have peace of mind and confidence in Linia.
