Face and Neck Lift

Case 1

Case 1 – Comprehensive deep plane face/neck lift (no eyelid surgery)

Not all facelifts involve laxity in the skin or deeper layers. However, for this patient, there were classic laxity indications as well as loss of definition in the face and neck. We addressed these concerns by lifting and tightening the deeper layers of the face to restore a youthful triangular neck and define the jawline.

Case 2

Case 2 – Closed submental recontouring

This patient desired a more slender appearance to her neck but wanted to avoid facelift scars. Submental recontouring helped us do just that by placing a scar in the crease under the chin. There are different members of the ‘family’ of these procedures, tightening each layer as required to lift, shape, and define the neck and under the chin, ensuring natural-looking results tailored to individual needs.

Case 3

Case 3 – Comprehensive deep plane face/neck lift and lower blepharoplasty

In this case, a comprehensive deep plane face/neck lift was used to restore shape, volume, and definition by treating laxity in the ‘deep plane’ of the face and the skin and reshaping the facial fat. The result here was a triangular’, feminine neck and improved definition under the chin and jawline. In addition, a lower blepharoplasty harmonised the eyelid and cheek with the facelift to reflect natural light and banish the shadows with natural contours and hidden scars.

Case 4

Case 4 – The “Y-Light lift” – lower eyelid and cheek

The area where the eyelid and cheek meet is important when it comes to signs of ageing, and that’s why I developed the Y-Light lift. Repositioning the fat pads and reshaping the cheeks restores a youthful appearance, banishing shadows and enhancing natural contours. The result is that light is reflected, and shadows are reduced, as can be seen in this case. This is all achieved as day case ‘twilight’ surgery’ with hidden scars and a quick recovery. It offers long-lasting results without the need for fillers or fat injected from elsewhere on the body.

Case 5

Case 5 – Comprehensive deep plane face/neck lift and upper lip lift (no eyelid surgery)

The comprehensive deep plane facelift is a ‘go-to’ for patients seeking a youthful facial shape and definition in the face jawline and neck. The bespoke procedure can be combined with various techniques to restore facial harmony by lifting and defining the face and neck. An upper lip lift can be performed, as in this case, to enhance the appearance of the lips, restoring youthful proportions and reducing lip lines. This is not a substitute for lip fillers, but, in combination, it can create the “wow factor.” Together, these enhancements achieve a balanced, youthful look with natural contours, as can be seen here.

Case 6

Case 6 – Comprehensive deep plane face/neck lift

Patients often tell us they look older than they feel, and it’s getting them down. This classic procedure is the perfect solution, addressing age-related concerns and boosting confidence and self-esteem. Lifting and shaping the face and neck restores definition, eliminates shadows, and restores the reflection of light. The result is more than technical, enhancing overall well-being and quality of life. Patients will often say “Thank you for restoring my confidence … no more scarves, and I don’t hate photos!”

Eyelids

Case 1

Case 1 – Upper and lower blepharoplasty

This signature procedure is designed to harmonise the eyelids with the face, eliminating tired-looking features and restoring balance. Upper eyelid surgery was used here to remove excess skin and muscle, and reduce lax fat. The result? No more tired folds dropping across the eyelash line, no more smudged make up. Lower eyelid surgery banished the shadows and improved the contours resulting in refreshed youthful eyes. There’s also more definition, balanced contour and loss of ‘weight’ with hidden scars.

Case 2

Case 2 – Upper and lower blepharoplasty

Focused on achieving a balanced, youthful appearance, this procedure enhanced the eyelids’ natural contours while minimising visible scarring. By restoring light reflection and contouring, we achieved harmonious results, boosting the patient’s confidence in their appearance.

Case 3

Case 3 – Upper blepharoplasty
If a patient could choose only one surgery full appearance, function, comfort, and emotion, it would be the upper blepharoplasty. Offering soft, natural results with hidden scars, this procedure restores upper eyelid balance and definition and enhances overall facial harmony, providing both cosmetic and functional benefits. It can be performed under local anaesthetic in an outpatient setting and has a huge impact despite being a small procedure.

Case 4

Case 4 – Upper and lower blepharoplasty (”festoons”)
This rapid recovery, day-case “twilight” procedure targets festoons or under-eye puffiness. It rebalances facial structures, reducing shadows and restoring a uniform contour. With expert planning and precise techniques, it achieves functional and aesthetic improvements, ensuring a refreshed, youthful and natural appearance. It is such a pleasure to see such a powerful personal response allied to a powerful technical operation – rebalancing the layers of the face through hidden scars underneath the eyelash line.

Case 5

Case 5 – Upper and lower blepharoplasty
By improving the upper eyelid shelf show and reducing lower eyelid height, we achieved balanced, natural-looking results for this patient, enhancing both appearance and function. These surgeries are technically rewarding, but the most important thing is the personal and emotional response in generous patient testimonials.

Case 14

Case 14 – Upper blepharoplasty

True hooding occurs when the excess of skin muscle folds in the upper eyelid drop across the eyelash line and this usually begins in the outer third of the upper eyelid. This obstructs vision and creates premature fatigue at the end of the day. Upper eyelid blepharoplasty in an outpatient setting has significant benefits both in terms of functionality and improvement in confidence in appearance.

Case 15

Case 15 – Upper blepharoplasty and the “Y-Light” lift

A combination of upper-lower blepharoplasty and the “Y-Light lift” is such a powerful technique. Our patients report high levels of satisfaction in terms of both comfort and appearance. Here, we see the upper eyelid shelf show youthfully defined. In the lower eyelid and cheek, the “ski-slope” of light and shadow has been effaced by the surgery to provide a uniform contour between the lower eyelid and the cheek for a uniform reflection of light. The scars are beautifully hidden, and the result is youthful, natural and balanced. “Out’ goes the fatigue, and ‘in” comes the confidence.

Browlift

Case 1

Case 1 – Browlift, no blepharoplasty

This procedure elevated the hairline eyebrow and rejuvenated the upper face, reducing tension and improving comfort for this patient. With discreet scars hidden behind the hairline, it opened up her upper visual field, bringing more light into the eyes and boosting confidence in her appearance. As with so many of these types of procedures, there is a “family” of associated browlift procedures in different layers of the forehead and brow, which can powerfully “shape” the eyebrows to provide symptomatic benefits as well as boost confidence.

Rhinoplasty

Case 1

Case 1 – Functional rhinoplasty to improve function and confidence in appearance

This patient had facial asymmetry, with a gentle twist to the face and no centre line for the rhinoplasty. The ‘before’ shows a boxy asymmetrical tip and a collapsed left sidewall, which was causing breathing obstruction. Reshaping the nasal pyramid and improving symmetry relieved symptoms and helped us achieve greater nasal balance, resulting in a more confident, harmonious look.

Case 2

Case 2 – Rhinoplasty for confidence in appearance

This case was focused on removing the dorsal hump and balancing the nasal bridge and tip. Creating a harmonious nasal profile boosts confidence and enhances facial symmetry, providing a pleasing appearance both in person and in photographs. The technique used is known as ‘open ultrasonic rhinoplasty’ and is performed with hidden scars.

Case 3

Case 3 – Rhinoplasty for confidence in appearance

Removing a dorsal hump and balancing the bridge of the nose with the tip is one of the most requested rhinoplasty procedures. It gives patients great confidence in terms of their profile view. The surgery is day-case open rhinoplasty and the ‘ultrasonic piezo technique’. It provides rapid recovery, minimal bruising and swelling, and precision confident results.

Case 4

Case 4 – Tip rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty involves reshaping the ‘framework’ of the nose, bone, and cartilage so that the ‘envelope’ of skin and soft tissue can ‘re-drape’ and bring confidence in appearance. This surgery restores the ’supra-tip break’ and the shape of the tip, with a straight line of light down the nose from the bridge to the remodelled tip.

Breast

Case 1

Case 1 – Mastopexy (breast uplift)

Ideal for those seeking a natural breast lift without implants, this classic uplift elevates the breasts and restores volume to the upper pole. With scars discreetly positioned below the bra line, it relieves neck and back tension and increases confidence in appearance. The surgery is done as a day case, with comfortable recovery.

Case 2

Case 2 – Breast uplift (mastopexy), with implants in a single-stage

Combining a breast uplift with implants restores breast shape and projection, enhances femininity and restores confidence. Careful surgical planning helps us achieve natural-looking results with hidden scars, which, in turn, ensures satisfaction and comfort. The surgery generates wonderful feedback and satisfaction scores despite the scars around the areolar and vertical limb, which suggests how powerful this intervention is for our patients. This lady gave a moving and supportive testimonial for which we are very grateful.

Case 3

Case 3 – Breast augmentation with implants

My instruction was to deliver upper-pole fullness, projection, and the wow factor! I think we did that, do you? These are round implants with high cohesivity and projection placed in a pocket above the muscle and below the breast. They are fully natural and comfortable, providing confidence in appearance.

Case 4

Case 4 – Breast augmentation with implants

In this patient, we were debating in clinic – uplift or augmentation? The pre-op clinic markings, in fact, are for uplift/mastopexy; nonetheless, the brief favoured augmentation with implants. What was I directed to achieve? Projection, increased cup size, nipple lift, and upper pole fullness; seeking to minimise visible scars. These round, micro-textured, high-projection implants delivered the result, reflected in a supportive, generous testimonial and the referral of a friend… a lovely transfer of trust!

Case 5

Case 5 – Breast uplift/mastopexy

“Mr Britto, can you lift the nipple on the breast and give me a ‘happier’ shape?” “Yes, we can!” This mastopexy reshapes the ‘bottomed out’ ‘before’ breast, where the nipple points down to the ‘happy’ and youthful ‘after’ breast, where the youthful nipple/areolar complex faces forward and up, with a regular round shape and soft, supple, stable, and slim scars.

Case 6

Case 6 – Breast augmentation with implants

If the aim is to restore the ’slack’ breast, post breastfeeding, the solution must include breast augmentation to reconstruct the lost volume of the involuted breast. The implant restores upper pole fullness, nipple projection, proportion and the very personal sensibilities of femininity. The scars are well hidden and become less visible over time. The implant placement above the muscle reduces the unnatural look that sometimes arises with placement under the muscle – where the implant and muscle move one way and the breast the other!
