Who Has Facelift Surgery?

First things first, if you have had deep plane facelift surgery, chances are that nobody needs to know except you! The Deep Plane Face and Necklift surgery that I perform is the most advanced.   The facelifts of years gone by, or even of today when performed by inexperienced practitioners who may not have stayed up with the latest advances, could be detected. Typically, the tell-tale signs were an overly ‘pulled’ look of the skin and with features appearing out of proportion.   Recovery time is less with Deep Plane Face and Necklift surgery and scarring is less visible (incisions are made by the hairline which is easily covered),  The patient’s own ligaments are re-tensioned and repositioned.

The stereotypes of the woman who has facelift surgert are also well overdue for an upgrade.

Reality television and mainstream media present images of lives that, while may be entertaining, many women can’t relate to. Stereotypes of ‘trophy wives’ are both derogatory to the person depicted and unhelpful to others when this is the main image presented. Images of men who have had facial plastic surgery are also rarely presented however some men also choose to address the signs of ageing in this way. The women and men who consult with me come from all walks of life. Of course, surgery is serious and should never be entered into without proper consideration. Safety, your recovery period, being both physically and mentally healthy to start with, having realistic expectations, affordability and feeling comfortable with your chosen surgeon and their team are all important things to assess. Part of the process may also involve smashing stereotypes. One of my recent Deep Plane Face and Necklift surgery patients said how much angst was involved in her decision-making process because she couldn’t relate to, or see herself, represented in the stereotypes mentioned above. A mother of five and highly successful businesswoman she had become reclusive, avoiding face to face meetings, and connecting via phone calls over zoom meetings as the changes in her appearance impacted her. Giving herself permission to explore whether facelift surgery was right for her was extra hard because she didn’t see herself as vain or insecure, and she wasn’t. Healthy, confident women and men are empowered to do what they feel is right for them.
