Face & Neck Lift
A face and neck lift, often termed a comprehensive rhytidectomy, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to address visible signs of ageing in both the face and neck regions. It aims to tighten sagging skin, diminish deep wrinkles, and enhance overall facial contours for a more youthful appearance.
The surgical process typically involves incisions made around the ears, extending to the hairline and sometimes into the natural creases of the scalp. These incisions allow Mr Bhat access to underlying tissues in both the face and neck. He will then lift and reposition the skin, tightening the muscles and tissues, and eliminating excess fat deposits. Neck muscles may also be adjusted to achieve a more defined neck contour.
The specific technique employed – whether it’s a deep-plane lift, SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) lift, or another method – depends on your individual needs and desired outcomes. Liposuction might be utilised to remove excess fat from the neck area for better sculpting.
Swelling and bruising are common side effects, and all risks will be discussed prior to surgery. Recovery time varies but typically involves a return to light activities and work within 1-2 weeks. Strenuous activities and heavy lifting should be avoided for several weeks to ensure proper healing. You’ll need to maintain a head-elevated position, shield incisions from excessive sun exposure, and adhere to a surgeon-recommended skincare routine.
Regular follow-up appointments with Mr Bhat facilitate monitoring of recovery progress and ensure optimal healing. These are typically arranged at 1 week, 6 weeks and 3 months after surgery.

Frequently asked questions
Am I suitable for a face and neck lift?
Facial ageing often extends to the neck, with wrinkles and sagging skin affecting both areas. These concerns can be addressed with a face and neck lift, achieving a more youthful appearance with long term results.
Is a face and neck lift safe?
Cosmetic surgery is very safe when performed by an experienced surgeon such as Mr Bhat. Patient safety is a priority for Mr Bhat and his team, and every step is taken to ensure the well-being of each patient.
Will it hurt?
A face and neck lift is performed using a general anaesthetic. This ensures the treatment area is totally numb during the procedure, so you won’t feel a thing.
How soon after surgery can I wash?
Your face, neck and hair can be washed using a gentle product around 48 hours after surgery. When drying your skin and / or hair be careful not to rub vigorously, and use a cool setting on your hairdryer.
What results can I expect?
As the swelling subsides and incisions heal, you will notice a more youthful and harmonious appearance in both the face and neck.

What our patients say...

Danielle Grant
I plucked up courage to have upper blepharaplasty with Waseem Bhat, I had two zoom consultations before going ahead with surgery.
I was very nervous but Waseem and Nicki made me feel completely at ease during surgery. Everything was explained to me and I felt in safe hands. I’ve just returned to the clinic for my sutures removing and even though it’s early days I can already see such an improvement I’m extremely pleased. It boosts your confidence and makes you feel so much happier with yourself.
