Face Surgery & Treatments
A brow lift is a surgical procedure that may be used to adjust the position of the brow and address forehead or brow tissue laxity in selected patients. It can be considered when brow position contributes to upper eyelid heaviness or facial balance concerns. A consultation is required to confirm suitability, discuss scarring, risks and alternatives.

Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) is performed to address excess upper or lower eyelid skin and, in selected cases, fatty tissue that may contribute to eyelid heaviness or under‑eye fullness. In some patients, upper eyelid skin can contribute to visual field obstruction. A consultation is required to confirm suitability, discuss scarring, risks, and alternatives.
Chin (submental) liposuction is a surgical procedure that may be considered to remove small volumes of fat from under the chin and upper neck in selected patients. Suitability depends on fat distribution, skin quality, and underlying anatomy. A consultation is required to discuss whether liposuction, skin‑tightening procedures, or other options are more appropriate. All surgery results in scars, and results vary.
A facelift (rhytidectomy) is a surgical procedure that may be used to address facial laxity and ageing‑related changes in the mid‑face and lower face/neck region. A consultation is required to determine suitability, discuss technique options, scarring, recovery and risks.
“Ponytail facelift” is a non‑standard term commonly used to describe a group of short‑scar/temporal lift approaches that may be used to reposition tissues in the upper and mid‑face in selected patients. Technique selection depends on anatomy and the areas being addressed. A consultation is required to confirm suitability and to discuss expected change, scarring, recovery, and risks. Scars are always present after surgery and vary in appearance.
“Endoface” and “posterior lift” are non‑standard terms sometimes used to describe facelift approaches that place incisions in and around the hairline/ear region. Despite the phrase “invisible scar”, all surgical approaches require incisions and result in permanent scars. A consultation is required to discuss suitability, technique options and risks.
Autologous fat transfer (fat grafting) involves harvesting fat from one part of the patient’s body and reinjecting it into another area, such as the face or chin, to add volume to address volume deficiency in selected patients. A consultation is required to determine suitability, discuss alternatives (including implants or fillers), and explain variability in fat survival (“take”), scarring, recovery, and risks.
A neck lift is a surgical procedure that may be considered to address neck tissue laxity, muscle banding, and/or localised fat, depending on anatomy. It may be performed alone or combined with a facelift in selected cases. A consultation is required to confirm suitability and to discuss the likely degree of change, scarring, recovery, and risks. Outcomes vary.
Otoplasty is a surgical procedure that may be considered to change ear shape, position, or symmetry in selected patients. It is commonly discussed for prominent ears or ear asymmetry. A consultation is required to confirm suitability and to discuss expected change, scarring, recovery, and risks. Outcomes vary.
Earlobe reduction is a procedure that may be used to adjust the size or shape of enlarged, stretched or elongated earlobes. It is commonly considered after stretching, trauma, or age‑related changes. A consultation is required to confirm suitability and discuss scarring and risks.
A lip lift is a surgical procedure that may be considered to change the position of the upper lip and the relationship between the lip and nose (philtrum length), depending on anatomy. A consultation is required to confirm suitability, discuss expected change and limitations, and explain scarring, recovery, and risks.
