Annette’s story

Annette, a 51-year-old health and safety worker from Surrey, had a Concept Face and Neck Lift with Liposuction to Chin in September 2021. Here she shares her experience with us, with an emphasis on the recovery process and how everyone heals at different rates.

My neck and jowls had been bothering me for years and making me look older than I felt. It wasn’t that I looked at my face and wanted to stop the aging process, I just felt that I looked really tired. I had just got a new job, I was in a new position higher up the ladder, and during Zoom calls I would reposition the camera so that people couldn’t see my neck. I wanted to look more professional, more fresh-faced and more alive! I wanted to look the age that I felt, and not look like the older person in every meeting.

I had known Mr Amir Nakhdjevani since 2014, and I’d had surgery with him in the past - he did my upper eyelid surgery for me - and I’d always said I wouldn’t go with anyone else for future work. You hear horror stories of other people’s experiences at different clinics - from being forced to sign on the dotted line before you even get to meet a consultant to surgery that makes you look plastic - but I know I can trust Amir. He tells you exactly what to expect, there’s no hard sell and he makes you look like you, not like a plastic mannequin. In fact, he even asks if you’re absolutely sure this is what you want to do, so the opposite of a hard sell!
