Time, sun damage, gravity, stress, and weight loss can all take their toll on the appearance, making the jawline slack, the neck saggy, and the skin wrinkled and loose. Facial drooping and deep lines and creases can make you look cross and tired, no matter how happy and rested you feel.

If you’re unhappy with your appearance, or the ravages of time are affecting your confidence and self-esteem, Bella Vou's expert cosmetic surgeons can help. The Concept™ Face and Neck Lift tightens and smooths the skin and muscles on the face and neck to define the jawline and restore a fresher, more youthful appearance.

Ageing of the face and neck go hand in hand. Performing surgery on one can highlight ageing in the other. The Concept™ Face and Neck Lift is usually formed as a single procedure to create a more natural, blended, and harmonious result.

The Concept™ Face and Neck Lift is usually performed under local anaesthetic, although sedation and general anaesthesia are also available. It is a day case procedure, so you won’t need to stay in the hospital overnight.

The surgeon will make short incisions from the front of the ear to behind the ear. The cut is placed in the skin’s natural folds and creases, so that is discreet and doesn’t cause hair loss. The surgeon performs SMAS-platysma lift, to tighten the muscles of the face and neck and provide natural-looking, long-lasting results.

The surgeon may make a further small incision under the chin. Through this, they will remove any excess fat from the neck and jaw. They will then lift and pull the skin closely over the underlying structures, smoothing the surface and trimming any excess tissue. They will close the wound with fine sutures that will dissolve over time.

Following surgery, you will be able to go home, with no drips, drains, or bulky bandages. The Concept™ Lift is much less invasive than traditional Face and Neck Lift surgery, which can cause significant facial trauma, making it difficult to work and socialise for up to eight weeks.

You will have minimal bruising, swelling, or scarring following the Concept™ Face and Neck Lift. Most people can return to their regular routine within a matter of days. However, it's important to remember that although on the outside, you will look healthy and healed, your body will still need to allow six to eight weeks for your body to recover fully.
