Addressing Your Concerns

It is entirely natural to have questions before considering facial surgery. Two concerns come up more than any other, and both deserve a direct answer.

Will I still look like myself?

This is the question at the heart of Mr Solomos’s approach. Using the Deep Plane technique, the deeper muscle and fat layers of the face are repositioned and tightened as a single unit, rather than the skin alone being pulled tight. The result is a face that looks rested and refreshed, never altered.

Is a facelift painful?

Most patients describe the recovery as a sensation of tightness rather than significant pain, and any discomfort is well controlled with standard prescribed medication. Mr Solomos’s integrated recovery programme, including aftercare at Sciene, is designed to support you comfortably through every stage of healing.

The Benefits of a Facelift & Neck Lift

• Firmer, tension-free skin without a pulled or artificial look
• A more rested, vibrant appearance that reflects how you feel
• Results that respect your natural bone structure and age gracefully
• Renewed confidence, without ever losing your identity
• Reversing the signs of gravity, tightening more on a vertical vector, not pulling laterally giving a ‘windswept’ look

The Solomos Difference: Natural, Personalised, Consultant-Led Results

In an industry increasingly shaped by high-volume clinic models, Mr Solomos offers a strictly consultant-led experience. You are never assessed or sold to by a patient coordinator. From your first consultation through to surgery and every follow-up appointment, you remain under the direct, personal care of Mr Solomos.

This continuity means the surgeon who designs your bespoke facial rejuvenation plan is the same expert who carries it out, a level of personalised, measured care that high-volume clinics cannot replicate.

Understanding the Procedure

What to Expect During a Facelift

A facelift repositions and tightens the deeper structures of the face and neck, addressing volume loss, skin laxity and lost muscular support. Depending on your anatomy and goals, treatment may focus on the mid-face, lower face, neck, or a combination of all three.

Facelift & Neck Lift Techniques

• The Deep Plane Facelift – the gold standard: releases, tightens and repositions the SMAS muscle layer as a single unit for a tension-free, natural-looking result with durability. This technique essentially turns back the clock and delivers permanent results.
• The Mid-Face Endoscopic Facelift: A scarless approach to address mid-face area, especially good for younger patients without significant skin laxity.
• The Neck Lift: corrects neck laxity, loose muscles and vertical banding, often performed alongside a facelift for a harmonious result.
• Bespoke adjuncts: where appropriate, you may want to also include fat grafting to restore lost volume, or blepharoplasty to refresh tired eyes. 
• Brow lift: addressing the upper third of the face and brows, aiming to avoid skin bunching in the temporal area after a face lift.
• Lip lift: a small procedure Involving an Invisible scar at the base of the nose, that can be done as a stand alone under local anaesthetic, but often as part of a combined total facial rejuvenation

Every facelift is planned around the individual. The right combination of techniques is determined together, during your consultation with Mr Solomos, not prescribed as a standard package.

Important Considerations

Are You a Suitable Candidate?

Good candidates are typically experiencing sagging skin, deep folds or jowls, are in good general health, and hold realistic expectations for the outcome. Patients typically range from their 40s to 70s. Skin elasticity and overall health are both considered during assessment.

Your Consultation

Your consultation is where your individual concerns, goals and anatomy are discussed in full, and where Mr Solomos will recommend the approach best suited to you. If a procedure will not achieve a natural, harmonious result, he will say so, honestly and without pressure.

Facelift & Neck Lift FAQs

Will I still look like me?

Yes. Alleviating this concern is the foundation of Mr Solomos’s approach. The Deep Plane technique elevates your existing features without tension, so you look like a fresher, firmer version of yourself, not a different person.

Is a facelift painful?

Most patients experience tightness and mild discomfort rather than significant pain, easily managed with standard prescribed medication.

What about scarring?

Incisions are placed discreetly within the natural folds around the ears and hidden within the hairline. With time and Mr Solomos’s scar management protocols, they become exceptionally difficult to detect.

How long is the recovery?

Bruising and swelling peak in the first few days. Most patients return to light daily activities and desk work within 10 to 14 days, with results emerging over the following weeks and months.

How long will the results last?

A well-performed structural facelift typically lasts over 10 years, often longer with the Deep Plane technique. The clock is reset permanently so the patient always looks better that their actual age. Maintaining a stable weight, protecting your skin from UV damage, and avoiding smoking will help prolong your results.

Can a neck lift be performed on its own?

Yes. While often combined with a facelift for a harmonious result, a neck lift can be performed independently for patients whose primary concern is neck laxity or banding, with the approach confirmed during consultation.
