The Art of the Modern Facelift

Timeless Results with London’s Leading Surgeon

Do you look in the mirror and see a reflection that no longer matches your inner energy? For many, the appearance of jowls, deep lines, and a tired jawline can be a source of frustration.

As one of London’s most trusted consultant plastic surgeons, Mr. Mark Solomos specialises in advanced facial rejuvenation that goes beyond superficial tightening. His focus is on the Deep Plane Facelift—the gold-standard technique for achieving profoundly natural and long-lasting results. Forget the “pulled” look of the past; this is about restoring the real you, refreshed and full of confidence.

Discover how a bespoke facelift in London can redefine your contours and reverse the visible signs of ageing.

What Is a Face Lift?

A facelift, also known as rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure that lifts and tightens the underlying structures of the face and neck. By removing excess skin, repositioning facial muscles, and restoring volume where it’s been lost, the procedure reverses the most visible signs of ageing — all without ever making you look “done” or unnatural.

Whether you’re concerned about jowls, deep nasolabial folds, sagging skin, or a tired jawline, a Face Lift in London with Mr. Solomos can be tailored to your specific needs and aesthetic goals.

A Return to You: The Transformative Power of a Bespoke Facelift

A modern facelift isn’t just about smoothing wrinkles; it’s about restoring the elegant structure and vibrant appearance of your youth.

• Redefine Your Jawline & Neck: Eliminate jowls and sagging skin to reveal a crisp, elegant neckline and jaw.
• Restore Youthful Volume: Lift and reposition fallen cheek tissue, softening deep folds around the nose and mouth.
• Achieve Genuinely Natural Results: Our advanced techniques ensure you look refreshed and revitalised, never “done.”
• Enjoy Long-Lasting Confidence: This is a structural improvement that lasts for years, not a temporary fix.

Your Bespoke Facelift in London: A Solution for Every Goal

True artistry lies in tailoring the technique to the individual. While I offer a range of procedures, my focus is on delivering the most sophisticated and durable results possible.

The Gold Standard: The Deep Plane Facelift

This is the cornerstone of my practice and the most advanced facelift technique available today. By working beneath the deeper muscle layer (the SMAS), I don’t just pull the skin—I release and reposition the face’s underlying foundations as a single unit.

Who It’s For: The discerning client seeking the most significant and natural-looking rejuvenation for jowls, deep folds, and neck laxity.

The Advantage: Delivers longer-lasting results (10+ years), a completely tension-free and natural finish, and powerfully rejuvenates the mid-face and neck. This is the premier solution for reversing the signs of ageing.

Targeted Solutions for Specific Concerns

For patients with less advanced signs of ageing, more targeted approaches can be effective:

• The Mini-Facelift: Ideal for addressing early jowling with minimal downtime. Focuses on the lower face via shorter incisions.
• The Mid-Face Lift: Specifically targets sagging cheeks to restore volume and soften lines beneath the eyes.
• The Neck Lift: A dedicated procedure to eliminate a “turkey neck” and define the chin and jawline, often performed alongside a facelift for harmonious results.

What to Expect from Your Face Lift

At your consultation with Mr. Solomos, we’ll carefully assess your goals, facial structure, skin quality, and general health to recommend the most effective surgical plan for you.

The procedure itself typically involves:

• Precise incisions placed along the hairline or around the ears to minimise visible scarring
• Accessing and repositioning deeper facial tissues (such as in a deep plane face lift) for long-lasting, natural support
• Removal of excess skin
• Additional volume restoration with fat grafting if needed
• Optional procedures such as a lip lift or brow lift depending on your personalised plan

You’ll go home with a refreshed version of yourself — not a different person.

Recovery: What’s the Downtime Like?

Most patients are surprised by how manageable recovery can be:

• Discomfort is usually minimal and well-controlled with prescribed medication
• Bruising and swelling peak within the first few days and steadily improve
• Most people feel confident returning to light daily activities in about two weeks
• Full results can be appreciated as swelling subsides over the following weeks

You’ll be provided with detailed aftercare instructions, and Mr. Solomos will be with you every step of the way.

Will I Still Look Like Me?

Absolutely. One of the most common concerns we hear is, “Will I look unnatural?”
The answer: No. With modern techniques such as the deep plane face lift and a careful, artistic approach, a facelift enhances your existing features without making you look pulled or frozen.

You’ll still look like you — just fresher, firmer, and more vibrant.

How Long Will My Results Last?

A well-performed facelift offers results that typically last 7 to 10 years, depending on your skin type, lifestyle, and genetics.

While no surgery can stop time, your face will always look younger and more refreshed than it would have without the procedure.

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, avoiding smoking, and protecting your skin from sun damage can help prolong your results.

FAQs About Face Lift Surgery

Is a facelift painful?
Most patients experience only mild discomfort, which is easily managed with medication. You’ll feel tightness or mild swelling, but not significant pain.

Will there be scarring?
All surgeries involve incisions, but we place them discreetly within natural folds or hairlines to minimise visibility. Over time, scars fade significantly.

Can I combine a facelift with other procedures?
Yes! Many patients choose to combine a facelift with a neck lift, brow lift, eyelid surgery, or even fat grafting for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

Am I too young (or too old) for a facelift?
There’s no set age — it’s more about your facial anatomy and skin quality. Patients typically range from their 40s to 70s.

How long is the recovery?
Most people return to normal activities within 10–14 days, with more visible results developing over the following month. Full healing may take several months.

Let Mr. Solomos help you rediscover a younger version of yourself — with subtlety, precision, and compassion.
