As we age, it’s natural for the skin to lose elasticity and volume, especially around the lower face and neck. This can lead to visible signs such as sagging cheeks, jowls and looseness along the jawline and neck. While skincare and non-surgical treatments may offer temporary improvement, they often cannot fully address deeper structural changes.
Facelift surgery in London offers a long-lasting solution by lifting and repositioning the underlying facial tissues, helping to restore a more defined and balanced appearance. When combined with a neck lift, this procedure provides comprehensive facial rejuvenation, targeting both the face and neck for harmonious, natural-looking results.
What Is a Facelift?
A facelift is a surgical procedure that targets the mid and lower regions of the face to improve visible signs of ageing. By tightening the underlying muscles, removing excess skin and repositioning soft tissue, facelift surgery restores facial contours and improves overall definition.
Many individuals also choose to undergo a neck lift at the same time, especially if they experience concerns such as neck bands, sagging skin or loss of jawline definition. Together, these procedures address both facial and neck ageing for a more complete and balanced outcome.
Facelift surgery can be tailored to your specific needs, with options such as:
- Full facelift: addresses significant sagging and volume loss
- Mini facelift: targets early signs of ageing with minimal intervention
- Neck lift: tightens and smooths the neck area for a firmer profile
Key Benefits of Facelift Surgery
A well-executed facelift procedure can offer a range of aesthetic and structural improvements:
- Smoother jawline with reduced jowls
- Restored cheek volume and midface definition
- Tighter skin and improved facial contours
- Reduced sagging in the lower face and neck
- Long-lasting, natural-looking results
- Enhanced harmony between the face and neck
- Can be combined with other procedures for comprehensive rejuvenation

What Does a Facelift Involve?
Facelift surgery typically involves making discreet incisions around the ears and hairline, allowing your surgeon to lift and reposition the underlying tissue and muscles. Any excess skin is carefully removed, creating a smoother, more youthful contour. The procedure is usually performed under general anaesthesia and can take several hours, depending on the extent of the surgery.
A neck lift may be included to tighten loose skin beneath the jawline and address banding or fullness in the neck. This combined approach ensures a seamless transition between the face and neck, avoiding the imbalance that can occur when only one area is treated.
The Process: What to Expect
1. Initial Consultation
Your journey begins with a detailed assessment at our London clinic. During this consultation, we will evaluate your facial structure, discuss your goals and recommend the most suitable procedure.
2. Personalised Surgical Plan
Based on your consultation, we will design a customised treatment plan that outlines the recommended surgical techniques, recovery timeline and expected outcomes.
3. Surgery Day
Your facelift surgery will be performed under general anaesthetic in our fully equipped theatre. If you are having a neck lift as well, this will usually be done during the same session for a unified result.
4. Aftercare and Follow-Up
You will receive full post-operative guidance to support your recovery, along with scheduled follow-ups to monitor your progress and healing.
Recovery Timeline
Recovery from facelift surgery is a gradual process, with improvements becoming more noticeable over time. Here is a general guide:
- First Week: Some swelling, bruising and tightness are expected. You’ll be advised to rest and avoid strenuous activity.
- 2–3 Weeks: Most clients feel comfortable returning to work and light daily tasks.
- 4–6 Weeks: Healing continues and normal routines – including light exercise – can usually be resumed.
- 3–6 Months: Swelling fully subsides and final results begin to take shape. Incision lines continue to fade over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a facelift involve?
A facelift typically involves lifting and repositioning the deeper facial tissues to improve sagging skin and redefine facial contours. It’s performed under general anaesthetic with incisions placed discreetly around the hairline and ears.
Is a neck lift included in a facelift?
Not always. While a facelift focuses on the lower face, a neck lift is often added to address sagging skin and muscle laxity in the neck for more cohesive results. This can be discussed during your consultation.
What is the recovery time for facelift surgery?
Most people return to light activities within 2–3 weeks, with full recovery taking 6–8 weeks. Swelling and bruising gradually subside during this time and final results typically develop over several months.
How long does facelift surgery last?
Results from a facelift can last 8–10 years, depending on factors such as skin quality, lifestyle and ageing. While the procedure doesn’t stop the ageing process, it can reset the clock significantly.
Best age to get a facelift?
There’s no fixed age, but many clients consider a facelift in their 40s to 60s when visible signs of ageing become more prominent and non-surgical options are no longer sufficient.
