The honest truth about facelifts

Why have a facelift?

As we age our faces lose volume and muscle tone, our skin loses elasticity and fat pads shift downwards, the results of gravity can see the lower half of the face become loose and saggy around the chin and jowls; eyelids begin to droop, and nasolabial and marionette lines deepen.

Would you like to look and feel more youthful, more radiant, address lines and wrinkles and say goodbye to jowls? Traditionally, facelifts have been great at smoothing jowls, squaring the jawline and dealing with deeper lines and wrinkles by pulling the skin tighter, but they don’t actually do anything to improve the quality of the skin – until now, that is.

Bella Vou’s selection of trademarked Concept™ Facelift procedures are designed to improve both the structure of the face by smoothing and contouring while also improving the texture and quality of the skin though a suite of specially selected procedures and treatments.

Why is our Full-face Rejuvenation a game-changer?

The Concept™ Facelift has long been remarkable by offering a far less invasive facelift that could be performed under local anaesthetic with stunning results and greatly reduced recovery times.

We’re always innovating and we realised that improving the structure of the face is only one part of giving you the result that you desire, therefore all our Concept™ Facelift procedures follow a revolutionary ‘Three Step Rejuvenation Plan’ that seeks to rejuvenate all aspects of the face.

We offer two types of Concept™ Facelift and both are ‘result driven’, meaning we will use every technique, device and technology to get you the best possible outcome. This allows you to focus on the “destination” (your desired result) and not be confused or confounded by the technicalities of how we get you there.

Walk me through the
"Three Step Rejuvenation Plan"

Step 1. Structure

The Concept™ Facelift has been developed exclusively by Bella Vou. It rejuvenates the face by tightening the skin and underlying muscle in a way that looks naturally sculpted and refreshed rather than tight and mask-like (the ‘wind-tunnel look’). Our procedure is far less invasive than traditional facelifts and is performed under local anaesthetic, offering a quicker recovery, reduced bruising, and less downtime, so that you can get on with your life.

Step 2. Re-volumising (Fat Transfer)

The process of ageing naturally causes fat pads under the skin to decrease or shift position. These changes, together with increased skin laxity, result in lines and wrinkles, all adding to the signs of ageing. Once the facelift has been performed and skin and muscle have been tightened, fat that has been harvested from another part of the face or body can be reintroduced to areas that have become sunken or hollow, even accentuating areas like the cheeks to augment the contouring work already done by the facelift.

Step 3. Skin Quality

Once the skin has been tightened and sculpted and the face has been re-volumized, we can address the final signs of ageing by improving the overall quality of the skin. The treatments used (more detail below) smooth and plump the skin while making it look brighter and more youthful. This plumping action also helps reduce finer lines and wrinkles that the facelift cannot address. In cases of prolonged sun exposure, additional laser resurfacing treatments would be used to further improve the quality and texture of the skin.

What is a Concept™ Facelift?

The Concept™ Facelift is a revolutionary surgical technique to lift and tighten the skin and muscles of the face and neck. It removes wrinkles, jowls, and sagging skin and creates a more fresh and youthful appearance.

The Concept™ Facelift has been developed exclusively by Bella Vou and it rejuvenates the face in a way that looks naturally sculpted and refreshed rather than tight and mask-like. The procedure is less invasive than traditional facelifts. It is performed under local anaesthetic, offering a quicker recovery, reduced bruising, and less downtime, so that you can get on with your life.

We offer two different types of Concept™ Facelift, each especially suited to your unique needs.

Concept™ Facelift MINI vs Concept™ Facelift
Treatment Plans

Concept™ Facelift Mini

Concept™ Facelift

Concept™ Facelift Mini

Facelift: The Concept™ Facelift MINI

Facelift: The Concept™ Facelift MINI 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 just in front of the top of the ear and then trace the natural skin folds inside the ear that then loops under the earlobe to behind the ear. Because the incision is placed in these natural skin folds and creases, the scar is very discreet and not easily seen, and does not cause hair loss. The surgeon performs SMAS-platysma lift, to tighten the muscles of the face and neck and to provide natural-looking, long-lasting more youthful results.

Once the muscles have been tightened the excess skin is removed. The surgeon uses fine dissolvable sutures that the body will naturally absorb over the course of a few weeks to leave a fine white scar that will continue to fade as it matures.

The Concept™ Facelift 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.

As well as the facelift, your surgeon would also use some or all of the following techniques (below) to get you the best possible result.

Re-volumising (fat transfer)

As we age we lose fatty deposits in the face such as from the cheeks or beneath the eyes that can result in a gaunt or sunken appearance. Once the overall structure of the face has been addressed through the facelift, areas of the newly lifted face can be augmented and re-volumized through fat transfer or fat grafting.

Fat is harvested from another part of the face (usually below the chin in the submental region) or from another area of the body (usually tummy or hips), the area is first numbed using a simple local anaesthetic injection. Since only a small amount of fat is required to restore volume to the face, the fat is extracted with a needle similar to that used for anti-wrinkle injections or dermal fillers.

Once extracted, the fat is prepared for reinsertion using a device called a Lipocube which enables the surgeon to achieve beautiful results using your own fat. The fat is precisely injected into the areas in need of re-volumising such as deep smile lines, the cheeks and temples.

Morpheus 8

Age, weight loss and sun damage can take their toll on the appearance, leaving the skin lax and droopy and the texture uneven. Morpheus 8 is a powerful and currently the deepest Subdermal Adipose Remodelling Device (SARD) technology. It is a minimally-invasive treatment that combines micro-needling with radiofrequency technology to penetrate deep into the skin to mould and sculpt the fat and tighten the connective fibres within the skin to create a smoother, firmer and more youthful appearance.

You will receive three Morpheus 8 treatments as part of your Concept™ Facelift MINI package with the first taking place 1-week after your facelift to coincide with your 1-week surgical follow-up. The remaining sessions will be scheduled for between 4-to-6-weeks apart for maximum benefit.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a gentle method of skin massage that stimulates the lymphatic system. While MLD therapy is a pleasant experience it’s purpose is not like with other massage techniques, its primary function is to remove the toxins that accumulate as a result of surgery to accelerate the recovery process and materially improve the end result. increasing the removal of waste, swelling and toxins from the area resulting from surgery. The lymphatics are the body’s waste disposal system, collecting any toxins that we need to get rid of.

You will have two MLD sessions after your Concept™ Facelift MINI to support and improve your healing process.

Concept™ Facelift

Facelift: The Concept™ Facelift 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 may make a further tiny incision just under the chin. Through this, they will remove excess fat using VASER Liposculpting to further define the jawline and remove any excess volume from the chin and neck to leave a beautifully contoured neckline.

As well as the facelift, your surgeon would also use some or all of the following techniques (below) to get you the best possible result.

VASER Liposculpting (VASERlipo™)

VASER Liposculpting or VASERlipo™ is an advanced body sculpting procedure. It removes fat to reshape and contour the face and body, giving a slimmer overall appearance. Traditional liposuction methods remove clumps of solid fat from under the skin, which can result in an uneven contour and a dimpled, cellulite appearance to the skin. In contrast, VASER Liposculpting uses ultrasound technology to liquefy and precisely remove fat from targeted areas, resulting in a smooth, toned silhouette that far exceeds the results of traditional liposuction.

VASERlipo™ can precisely target and remove areas of fat under the chin to help smooth and shape the jawline in conjunction with the facelift. A tiny incision just under the chin is all that’s required to accommodate the VASER probe which is no bigger than a knitting needle. This extracted fat can also be used for Re-volumizing of the rest of the face.

Renuvion

Renuvion, or J Plasma, is an innovative, keyhole procedure for skin tightening. The device delivers a precise, controlled supply of energy that contracts the small ligaments and bands that hold the skin to the muscle, tightening the skin from beneath, stimulating collagen production, and rejuvenating the appearance.

The specialist cosmetic surgeons will introduce the Renuvion device under the skin using the same small incision under the chin made for VASERlipo™. The revolutionary technology uses ionized helium gas to deliver plasma energy, which makes the fibrous bands under the skin contract. The skin is pulled closer to the underlying tissue like a vacuum pack, in a way that is gentle but highly effective.

FaceTite™

FaceTite™ is an innovative new aesthetic procedure that stimulates collagen production and firms the skin. The FaceTite™ device delivers radiofrequency energy through a small probe just below the skin in conjunction with another on the surface of the skin to gently, safely and effectively, heat the underlying tissue to melt fat and tighten the skin on the jawline, cheeks, neck and jowls.

Bella Vou offers this cutting-edge treatment to firm and contour the skin on the face and neck, stimulate natural collagen production and provide a smoother, fresher and more youthful appearance.

Re-volumising (fat transfer)

Buccal Fat Removal

The goal of buccal fat removal is to slim down the cheeks, specifically in the area of the cheek hollows. Although fuller cheeks can be considered youthful, some people find that their face feels too full, round or even chubby.

The specialist surgeon would remove the buccal fat pads (as shown in the image below) from each cheek hollow through a small incision that runs along the gum line inside the mouth, thus leaving no visible scarring while results are instantly noticeable.

Morpheus 8

You will receive 3 Morpheus 8 treatments as part of your Concept™ Facelift MINI package with the first taking place 1-week after your facelift to coincide with your 1-week surgical follow-up. The remaining sessions will be scheduled for between 4-to-6-weeks apart for maximum benefit.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage

You will have two MLD sessions after your Concept™ Facelift to support and improve your healing process.

Overview

How long is the recovery time for a Concept™ Facelift

Busy modern lifestyles leave little time for slow, painful and lengthy recoveries. The Concept™ Facelift procedures are much less invasive than a traditional facelift surgery, which causes significant facial trauma, making it difficult to work and socialise for up to eight weeks.

You will have little bruising, swelling, or scarring following a Concept™ Facelift. Most people can return to their normal routine within a matter of days. However, it’s important to remember that although your outward appearance will look healthy and healed, it will still take six to eight weeks to fully recover, internally.

Is there an optimum age for a Concept™ Facelift?

The Concept™ Facelift is not limited by age; however, people in their twenties are unlikely to have the loose skin and age-related changes that can benefit from a facelift. A typical age where people present tends to be around 50, especially for women. That’s because the hormonal changes of the menopause can affect the appearance.

The majority of Bella Vou’s patients age from late 40s to 55 and say that they feel they look tired and want a more refreshed look. New paragraph: Sometimes people present earlier, in their early forties and the procedure can be successful in the seventies, eighties or even nineties. The advantage of the Concept™ Facelift is that it is under local, not a general anaesthetic, making it safer for people with existing medical problems.

FAQs

Isn’t it frightening having a facelift while you’re awake?

Most of Bella Vou's patients find the experience relaxing and stress-free. We are meticulous about making sure the area is completely numb, and we chat throughout the procedure so that each individual is confident that they are in safe hands.

‘As a surgeon, it helps me get to know my patients even better and builds a bond with them, which isn't possible with a general anaesthetic. But don’t just take my word for it, look at videos of real patient experiences on the website, our patients really are Bella Vou’s best adverts.’ - Amir Nakhdjevani, Consultant Plastic Surgeon, Bella Vou

What is the best age to have a facelift?

Your age is really just a guide that helps us assess if somebody would benefit from a Concept™ Facelift, ultimately though the amount of loose skin will determine your suitability. You may find that you’re not yet ready for a Concept™ Facelift but would like to address looseness in your neck and jowls. Fortunately, we also offer FaceTite™ as a stand-alone procedure which can significantly tighten the skin of the lower face and neck.

FaceTite™ is an innovative new aesthetic procedure that stimulates collagen production and firms the skin. The FaceTite™ device delivers radiofrequency energy to melt fat and tighten the skin on the jawline, cheeks, neck and jowls.

Morpheus 8 can be used in conjunction with FaceTite (or completely independently depending on what you are looking to achieve) to assist in addressing skin laxity and improving uneven texture. This revolutionary new device stimulates the increase of Elastin and Collagen production while tightening connective fibres to lift, firm, smooth and contour the face and body.

Do facelifts ever look natural?

The Concept™ Facelift has been developed to give a fresh and natural look. This type of facelift surgery does not result in the very tight, mask-like appearance that some traditional facelifts can create. It is also not intended to make people look 20 years old again, but rather to address the signs of ageing that have made you look tired or older than your years.

Following surgery, your friends and family should notice that you look well and fresh, but it should not be immediately apparent that you have had an operation.

When can I sleep on my side after a facelift?

Most people are generally able to sleep on their side two to four weeks after a facelift.

The recovery timeline can vary from patient to patient, so your surgeon will monitor your progress and let you know when you are able to sleep on your side again.

This may vary depending on how well the healing process is going and how extensive the procedure is — you may be able to start sleeping on your side again sooner than this.

How painful is a face lift?

Most facelift patients will experience some discomfort during and after their facelift. You will likely have some swelling, bruising, tenderness and mild pain after the procedure, but this should improve and settle down after a few days. Recovery typically takes around two weeks.

Recovery from traditional facelift surgery can be longer and more painful than the less invasive Concept™ Facelift.

The Concept™ Facelift is performed under local anaesthetic so that you have reduced bruising and faster recovery. There will be some minor bruising, swelling and mild pain following the Concept™ Facelift, but your healthcare team will provide any pain relief needed to keep you comfortable and support your recovery.

How many facelifts can you have in a lifetime?

There is no real limit to the number of facelifts you can have in a lifetime, particularly if a facelift is performed well and you are in good health. If you feel like the effects of your facelift have worn off over time, you may wish to have another to rejuvenate your appearance.

However, it is worth noting that too many facelift procedures can give your face a tight, pulled effect and the appearance may be mask-like or artificial.

The Concept™ Facelift procedure will give natural-looking results and leave you with a fresh and youthful appearance that can last for up to 10+ years. While a facelift does not stop the ageing process, it does turn the clock back and you will continue to age, but from this new more-youthful look onward.

When can I return to work after a facelift?

Most people can return to their normal routine within a few days of having the procedure, including work.

It is important, however, to allow your body some time to recover. If your work involves anything strenuous or heavy lifting, you should speak to your surgeon for further guidance. You may need to avoid strenuous physical activity for four to six weeks.

It is also important to remember that you will have some bruising and swelling following the facelift procedure. If you feel self-conscious, you may want to take additional time off work while any swelling settles down and bruising fades.

JOURNEY

YOUR SIMPLE 5 STEP JOURNEY

Step 1. Free, no-obligation consultation

Bella Vou offers every client a free consultation with an expert, accredited cosmetic surgeon with no obligation to proceed to treatment. The consultation is an opportunity to discuss any concerns you have with your skin and your appearance, the results you want to achieve, and whether the Concept™ Facelift can help you reach those goals.

Bella Vou will always give you an honest and impartial professional opinion. Mr Amir Nakhdjevani says:

‘We make sure that we advise people correctly about whether surgery is right for them. We treat everyone as if they were our family. We might turn people away, suggest alternative treatments, or we may suggest that they go to a different specialist at another establishment. If someone is uncertain about an operation, we're happy to see them several times, without a consultation charge. At Bella Vou, we never pressurise people or try to sell procedures. It's always about giving an honest opinion and honest advice.’

Step 2. Meet your specialist

During your consultation with the specialist who will perform your Concept™ Facelift, you are given a chance to find out more about the procedure and ask any questions you like.

Step 3. Preparation for Concept™ Facelift

Preparation for your procedure can help reduce the risk of infection and improve recovery. Shower and wash hair daily and stop smoking cigarettes and e-cigarettes to reduce the risk of healing complications.

On the day of your Concept™ Facelift, you’ll be personally welcomed to Bella Vou, given a gown to wear and escorted to the state-of-the-art operating theatre. As you will be awake throughout the surgery, you will be greeted by your surgeon, and you can even choose the music you would like to hear during your operation.

All your additional treatments will also be booked prior to your surgery at times that are most convenient for you.

Step 4. What happens during Concept™ Facelift?

In the Bella Vou theatre, your surgeon will chat with you throughout the procedure. It makes the experience relaxed, stress-free, and helps develop a close bond between you and your consultant. Your face will be cleaned, and local anaesthetic injected to prevent any pain or discomfort.

Concept™ Facelift MINI

A short incision will be made from the front of the ear to behind the ear, resulting in a smaller scar and less hair loss than traditional techniques. The surgeon will carefully tighten the skin, remove any excess, and perform a muscle tightening SMAS lift. The procedure will smooth the skin of the cheeks, lift them to their original position and remove jowls to restore definition to the jawline.

Your surgeon will stitch the skin closed with fine, absorbable sutures that do not need to be removed. The procedure lasts about two hours.

Concept™ Facelift

A short incision will be made from the mid-temple to the front of the ear, along the skin fold and behind the ear, resulting in a smaller scar and less hair loss than traditional techniques. The surgeon will carefully tighten the skin, remove any excess, and perform a muscle tightening SMAS lift. The procedure will smooth the skin of the cheeks, lift them to their original position and remove jowls to restore definition to the jawline.

Your surgeon will stitch the skin closed with fine, absorbable sutures that do not need to be removed. The procedure lasts about two hours.

Buccal Fat Removal

The specialist surgeon would remove the buccal fat pads from each cheek hollow through a small incision that runs along the gum line inside the mouth, thus leaving no visible scarring while results are instantly noticeable. It is advisable that you eat soft food for the week following Buccal Fat Removal surgery to ensure that you do not disturb the sutures.

Re-volumizing

Re-volumizing through fat transfer will be carried out after the facelift has been completed. Fat is harvested from below the chin or the stomach region and after it has been conditioned it is injected into the areas that need volumizing, usually to restore plumpness to sunken cheeks, fill hollowness under the eyes, accentuate the cheekbones, fill hollowness in the temples, lift the brows, plump forehead, reshape the chin, fill nasolabial folds and fill marionette lines.

VASER Liposculpting (as part of the Concept™ Facelift):

A tiny incision just under the chin is all that’s required to accommodate the VASER probe which is no bigger than a knitting needle. VASERlipo™ can precisely target and remove areas of fat under the chin to help smooth and shape the jawline in conjunction with the facelift. This extracted fat can also be used for Re-volumizing the rest of the face.

Renuvion (as part of the Concept™ Facelift):

FaceTite™:

The specialist cosmetic doctors use FaceTite™ to apply controlled radiofrequency energy under the skin. The energy gently, safely and effectively heats the underlying tissue making the skin tighten and contract. The FaceTite probe is inserted below the skin through tiny “punctures” made at the back of either side of the jaw. Once complete these puncture sites do not even require a stitch, instead two small plasters will be used to keep the areas sterile.

Step 5. Recovery from Concept™ Facelift?

After the operation, you can relax in the comfort of Bella Vou's recovery suites. The supportive staff will offer you a drink and biscuits after surgery and explain your aftercare and what to expect as you recover.

You'll be able to go home the same day with no drains, drips, or bandages. However, you may choose to wear a scarf for discretion. It's essential to arrange a friend or family member to pick you up and escort you home.

One of the Bella Vou team will give you a call the day after surgery to make sure you're well, have had a good night, and to answer any questions.

After one week, you should have follow-up with our nurse and wound care specialist. You will also have your first of two Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) massages which will assist with reducing any swelling and pain while removing build-up of fluids or toxins. These MLD sessions will dramatically improve recovery. At one week you will also have your first of 3 Morpheus 8 treatments which will kick off the process of stimulating the production of collagen and elastin to plump as well as improve the texture and radiance of the skin. Each follow-on Morpheus 8 session will be booked 6 to 8 weeks apart.

At around six weeks, your surgeon will check your progress, and you will have a second MLD session at this point. At six months the nurse and wound care specialist will see you again to ensure that you remain healthy, well, and happy with your results. However, if you're worried, the staff are always on hand to answer questions on the phone or in person.

★★★★★

I had CONCEPT face and neck lift 3 weeks ago under local anaesthetic. I felt very anxious but I didn’t feel any pain or discomfort at all. From the begging to an end, Amir was understanding, helpful and very professional. Amir is an amazing surgeon who has done an excellent job, I couldn’t be happier with the results and I 100% recommend him.

Amir is a amazing surgeon, after having botched surgery 7 years ago and never feeling happy with my result, I went to amir who was very professional explained that he will correct but not to expect a miracle and that is what he did, my body no longer looks saggy and old, he has made me love my body again, I’m so pleased with the result and have already recommended Amir to two of my friends.

Professional service from start to finish. The clinic is beautiful and all of the staff are friendly. Dr Amir ensured I was having the procedure for the right reasons and actually talked me out of lower eye surgery that he felt I did not need. I have recommended Dr Amir to everyone and would not hesitate to go back for other procedures.

A friendly but professional team of people that made me feel super at ease at every appointment. I am amazed at the results of my recent treatment with Rohit and can’t begin to thank him enough for the difference it’s made and neither can my husband.

First-class without a doubt. Amir explained the procedure in detail, how long it would take etc. The consultation was made in a straightforward, honest and considerate manner, at no time did I feel rushed or limited to a strict timetable. The appointment was made for 3 weeks later, the results exceeded my expectations. All the staff at Bella Vou are friendly and thoroughly professional.

Absolutely wonderful experience with Amir. I’m so happy I chose to go ahead with my procedure with Bella Vou. My scars are barely visible and the customer service is incredible. I’ve had nothing but compliments, and I feel much more confident. 10/10! Amir made me feel completely at ease, I didn’t feel nervous at all.

After meeting Amir for the 1st time, I felt that I had made the right decision. The procedure was speedy and well-performed, with the assistance of his great team. I have minimal scars, which are healing nicely and I never had bruising, in itself a miracle for me. A big Thank You to Amir and his excellent team.

I have had 3 procedures now with Amir and I can honestly say, after having several cosmetic surgeries with top plastic surgeons up and down the Uk and in Poland, Amir is the best surgeon, my reasons why, professionalism, precise, skills are attention to detail and finesse is phenomenal.
