Face and necklift operations improve the changes which in the face with increasing age.
Commonly jowls, neck sagging and wrinkles and improved.
A facelift is done usually under a general anaesthetic, and is often combined with other surgical procedures including eyelid surgery, and involves a 2 day stay in hospital.
The operation itself can take three or more hours. There is early bruising and swelling which settles over 10 days to two weeks. A feeling of tightness and numbness in the face settles over very many months.
The position of the scar varies depending on whether we do a full face lift or a short scar operation, this in turn depending on your age and what the features are which we are setting out to improve.
Necklift surgery may also require a scar under the chin. The scars heal in a variable way but most of the scarring following a facelift is good.
As restrictions have eased a little, I am happy to be able to see patients again. Clinics are opening at the One Hospital Ashford and the Chaucer Hospital in Canterbury.
Waiting times for new consultations may be longer than usual but I am working on this. Surgery space is still restricted as the NHS still has the use of the private hospitals. However things are changing all the time.
