Facial surgery includes procedures that refine or rejuvenate specific features of the face. Whether a procedure is appropriate depends on your individual anatomy, health and goals, and is decided together at consultation. Every option carries risks and a recovery period, and outcomes differ from person to person.
Procedures are provided to adults (18+) following individual consultation and assessment. This page is general information only and is not a substitute for medical advice. Results vary between individuals and no specific outcome is promised.
The procedures below are described in general terms. Which, if any, suits you is a clinical decision made together at consultation, after assessing your anatomy, health and goals. Photographs of past results are not shown here, but relevant examples can be reviewed privately, with your consent, at an appointment.
Addresses excess skin or puffiness of the upper or lower eyelids. It involves fine incisions, some scarring and a recovery period, all discussed in detail beforehand.
Adjusts the proportion and position of the upper lip. Suitability and the likely result are assessed individually, and it involves a small incision and resulting scar.
General risks of surgery and anaesthesia, as well as risks specific to the procedure being considered, are explained in detail and in writing before any decision is made.
Facial surgery involves a recovery period that differs between individuals. You receive guidance on what to expect, activity restrictions and aftercare, with follow-up appointments to support healing.
Facial procedures involve incisions and resulting scars. These are placed as discreetly as possible and settle over time, but remain permanent. Their likely position is discussed beforehand.
Outcomes depend on individual factors and no specific result can be promised. In some cases, further or revision procedures may be needed. These possibilities are discussed openly.
The starting point is an individual consultation, where your goals, suitability, the available options, risks and recovery are discussed in full. If you have a referral from your GP, please bring it. There is no obligation to proceed.
