Facial rejuvenation is an overarching term which can be used to describe any combination of plastic surgery that aims to restore a youthful appearance.
It’s useful when talking to patients who don’t necessarily want a specific treatment such as a facelift or a browlift, but instead want advice on what to do to reduce the signs of ageing.
There are a number of options when it comes to facial rejuvenation. It may be appropriate to have one treatment or a combination, depending on your unique physiology and the results you want to achieve.
These include:
Full facelift
The full facelift is the most extensive procedure you can have as it addresses the sagging and loss of elasticity of the skin which goes hand-in-hand with the ageing process. Of course, it’s a longer and more complex surgery than the mini facelift and will involve a more prolonged recovery period. However, it’s a great way to restore the tightness, remove fine lines and wrinkles and reverse the general downward sag of your skin for the long-term.
Mini facelift
This is a great alternative if you have surgery before the signs of ageing become too extensive. It improves the lower third of your face including the cheeks, the jawline and the top of the neck to some extent. It’s often possible to carry out a mini facelift using a general anaesthetic only, and the recovery period is usually quicker than the full facelift.
Brow lift
As the name suggests, the brow lift concentrates on the area from the eyebrows to the hairline, lifting a sagging brow but also smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles, particularly those awkward frown lines which all too often make us look permanently angry or grumpy.
Although a relatively straight-forward procedure, the brow lift does require a general anaesthetic which means at least one night in hospital.
Eye area
Blepharoplasty is the treatment for rejuvenating the eye area. We can remove loose eyelid skin, solving the problem of hooded eyes and helping to open the eye area which immediately makes you look more energised. We can also reduce under eye bags, smoothing this area to give a more youthful appearance.
Getting the right combination
It’s in facial rejuvenation that the experience of your chosen surgeon comes to the fore. Because we have undertaken hundreds of facial plastic surgery treatments over the years, we know how best to achieve good, natural-looking results.
The type of surgery, along with the skill of the surgeon, makes all the difference to achieving a more youthful appearance without going so far so that people can tell you’ve had surgery. Our ultimate goal is for people to comment on how well you look, with discreet surgery which means they can’t quite put their finger on the reason!
