What to Expect

The Private Clinic has been treating patients for over 40 years with thousands of people placing their trust in us each year. We pride ourselves on being able to offer a personalised service. We have a team of friendly nurses and expert who understand the importance of this decision and will support you throughout your journey with us.

The first stage of your Mini Facelift treatment journey will be a with one of our expert Facelift surgeons.
At your consultation, your surgeon will go through the procedure in detail and examine the area.

Your surgeon will then discuss:

Following your consultation, you will be introduced to your dedicated patient coordinator who will be your point of contact should you wish to proceed with one stitch facelift surgery.

In the interests of patient safety, all our patients are assessed against our patient selection criteria. Following your consultation and review of your past medical history, the physician or preoperative nurse will choose any pre-operative tests considered to be appropriate, most of which are blood tests.

The One Stitch Facelift is performed under local anaesthetic so your will start with a small injection to the area being treated which will then eventually become numb.

Once numb your surgeon will then make a small incision within the hairline, so no one will be able to see it. The skin is then removed and a stitch is passed through the deep tissue within the cheek which is then tightened and secured before the incision is closed with dissolvable sutures.

The Temporal Facelift is also performed under local anaesthetic so will begin in a way with a small injection of local anaesthesia to numb the area being treated. The surgeon will then make an incision above the hairline at the temples. The skin is then separated from the fat and muscle below and the muscle and SMAS membranes are tightened. The skin is then pulled back and any excess is removed and the incision is closed with dissolvable sutures. A blepharoplasty is often performed at the same time as a temporal facelift.

The results of a mini facelift and temporal facelift are still long-lasting as the procedure involves removing the skin. However, you will still age as normal so the results of your facelift may change over time but the effects should remain visible for a long time after surgery.

The downtime after a and Temporal Facelift is minimal with many patients feeling able to return to work the next day.

A follow-up with a clinic nurse will be made 1-2 weeks following your procedure to check your wounds. You will then have a 6 week follow-up appointment with your Surgeon to assess your results.
