1. We Are Facelift Specialists

As you age, so does your skin – over time it loses elasticity, volume, plumpness and vibrancy, and one extremely effective approach to take in repairing, rejuvenating, and essentially reversing the extremities of sagging skin, is by undergoing a facelift. Luckily at 111 Harley St., Dr Yannis specialises in facelift procedures, where he is able to provide staggering and transformative results using a range of techniques. Some of the different types of procedures we offer at 111 Harley St. are:

Y Facelift

SMAS Facelift

Mini Facelift

Deep Plane Facelift

2. Our care doesn’t stop after surgery

The reason our Harley Street clinics have become globally known is because of our 360-degree care ethos, and as post-surgery care is something not to be taken lightly, we believe that the way you treat your skin both before and after surgery can make all the difference to your recovery time and how the final results may look overall.

We give all our Facelift patients complimentary LED light treatments to encourage the healing processes and the the opportunity to enhance your skin with our range of non-surgical treatments to help diminish any scarring or post-surgery epidermal concerns.

Included in our post-aftercare promise are follow-ups and reviews for up to one year after your surgery. This ensures that we provide you with the most comprehensive care throughout your treatment and recovery. Our amazing Surgical Team will be at your service if you need someone to contact or have any questions. We also promise that, in the unlikely circumstance, you require revision surgery, this will be carried out free of charge too.

3. Not all facelifts are the same

We know this sounds like common sense but what we mean is that each every Facelift is bespoke – no procedure is the same because no face shape or concern is the same.

Often to achieve the best results, a facelift can be combined with another procedure or procedures – most commonly Dr Yannis’ pioneering Y Facelift (which lifts the neck, chin and jawline, immediately diminishing jowling or hyper-visible lower facial laxity) and Submental Liposuction.

4. The procedure takes around an hour

When an expert like Dr Yannis performs facelifts, they seem effortless, uncomplicated, finessed – that’s why he is able to turn back the clock on his patient’s appearance (or at least produce results that seem like it!).

On the day of your hypothetical surgery, you can expect to arrive at the clinic and get changed in your surgical gown in the comfort of a private room. You’ll then see Dr Yannis, who will recap the details your desired outcome, have you complete some consent forms and begin marking your face, preparing you for surgery.

You’ll then enter the theatre where our amazing Anaesthetist, Hish, will administer your general anaesthetic and you’ll then begin gradually drifting off to sleep.

When you next wake up, your Facelift will be over and you can begin the healing process where each day that passes will bring you closer to your final desired look. (Don’t worry, our Surgical Team will be there to support you every step of the way!).
