Face Lift:
Most frequently asked questions
Is face lift for me?
Face lift is suitable for men and women with wrinkled, loose, saggy skin
to the face and neck. If your wrinkles are very pronounced, laser facial
resurfacing can be combined with a face lift in order to give you a much
younger appearance. During consultation your plastic surgeon will decide
if you are a suitable candidate and will advise you accordingly.
When will I see the results?
Even though you will be looking bruised and swollen, physically you will
be feeling fine a few days after surgery. As the end result is not instantaneous,
this could leave you feeling slightly down after the operation. However,
this is quite normal and as you begin to recover, the result will be become
apparent.
When can I start my normal activities again?
After surgery it is important to avoid strenuous exercise for 3-4 weeks.
Your surgeon will advise as appropriate. You must ensure you attend your
follow up appointments to make sure that the incisions are healing as
expected and there is no infection.
What is your surgeons' experience?
All Continental Medical Services Ltd's surgeons are fully registered with
the General Medical Council and are NHS trained and approved. They operate
in fully registered private hospitals. Their qualifications can be viewed
on request at consultation.
Would I have any scars?
The resultant scars are inconspicuous because the incisions are made on
either side of the face from inside the hairline.
Are there any associated risks?
There are inherent risks with face lift as there are with any surgery.
Our plastic surgeons are, however, highly qualified and complications
are rare and usually only minor. The complications that may occur are
a reaction to the anaesthesia, infections or poor healing of resultants
scars. You should discuss any concerns you might have with your surgeon
before your surgery is performed.
After surgery?
During the first few days you can expect a certain amount of bruising,
swelling, pain or discomfort which can be eased with mild analgesic.
Is the initial consultation free?
