Face and neck lift
Discussing skin laxity and tissue changes with realistic expectations.
A CONVERSATION COMES FIRST
What does the assessment consider?
A face and neck lift addresses certain changes associated with tissue laxity. The appropriate approach depends on the area and skin condition. Surgery does not stop ageing, and non-surgical treatments do not provide equivalent results in every situation.
An approach to fit the details.
Your goals and individual assessment guide the plan.
Techniques and options to discuss
Surgical upper lip lift
A separate procedure from a face or neck lift, shortening the distance between the base of the nose and upper lip by removing a portion of skin. Suitability depends on facial proportions, with incision placement and possible visible scarring discussed before surgery.
SELECTED RESULTS
The difference is in the details.

How to read clinical photographsMake an informed decision.
Could this be right for you?
- General health and factors that can impair wound healing, including smoking, are reviewed.
- Goals should be realistic; a lift does not stop ageing or change the fundamental identity of the face.
Risks and limits
Examples for discussion, not a complete list. Risks depend on the procedure and your health. Discuss your individual risks and alternatives, including no treatment.
- Bleeding, fluid collection or infection.
- Facial nerve injury with weakness, or altered sensation.
- Impaired healing, skin loss or unfavourable scars.
- Asymmetry or prolonged swelling; anaesthetic and blood-clot risks also need discussion.
Care continues after your procedure.
Recovery and follow-up
Dressings and temporary drains may be used; care depends on the operative plan.
Ask specifically about face washing, hair care and returning to activity rather than following another person’s routine.
This information helps you prepare for a consultation. It does not determine suitability or replace a medical examination.
Room for your questions.
You do not need to have made a decision before your consultation.
Questions worth asking
- Which part of the face or neck needs attention?
- What are the alternatives and their limits?
- How do scars and recovery affect my decision?
Frequently asked questions
Does a lift mean a result that never changes?
No. Tissues continue to change with age; consultation should clarify the limits of expected improvement.
Are results guaranteed or identical to the photographs?
No result is guaranteed. Anatomy and healing vary from person to person. Case photographs and simulations are not a promise of your outcome.
What about recovery and returning to work?
This depends on the procedure, your health and your work. Discuss expected downtime, restrictions, follow-up and when to seek urgent advice before scheduling treatment.
