Your Journey
We specialize in facial aesthetic (cosmetic surgery) such as Facelift, Neck Lifts, eyelid and ear surgeries. We use the gold standard techniques for achieving a comprehensively rejuvenated, natural-looking appearance. Combining a Facelift to address the mid-to-lower face and a Neck Lift to eliminate a “turkey neck” or platysma bands offers the most harmonious and long-lasting results. Facelift and Neck lift along with other facial surgery procedures can be customised to restore a smoother, tighter, and more vibrant profile, boosting your self-confidence for years to come.
We offer an initial no-charge introductory cosmetic appointment with one of our Plastic Surgery staff members to meet at our office and go through the thoughts you may have for surgery. This appointment is about understanding what might be possible with facial surgery including facelifts and neck lifts. This gives you a chance to meet our staff and feel what the practice is like.
You are welcome to proceed straight to a Surgeon Consultation with me. We will go through what your goals are, examine your face and tailor a plan. There is a charge for this appointment but the subsequent second consultation appointment is at no charge.
Following the first consultation we will provide you with some reading information about the proposed procedure, a letter with a summary of the consultation and an estimate for what I would expect the planned procedure to cost. It may be that this estimate changes as we further discuss and consider what procedure or procedures are needed to achieve the results that you seek.
Once you have booked in the procedure, the Anaesthetist will be in touch just prior to the operation if you are having a general anaesthetic. The operation will either be at 243 Surgical Centre which is on the ground floor of our office or it could be at Auckland Surgical Centre in St Marks Road.
We will be careful to provide all the information we think is important for you to understand during your recovery. It is likely that you may have other questions during your recovery or concerns about how you are healing. We are here to help and we can answer your questions during your post-operative appointments or feel free to call us at the office.
I hope you find these guides helpful in preparation for surgery and for your recovery. It will cover general details of surgery and the normal way that individual’s recover after facial surgery.
About
Great results from surgery on the face are achieved with a thoughtful plan, meticulous surgery and a sound post-operative plan. Cosmetic facial surgery and reconstructive facial surgery are closely linked. The lessons in reconstruction are valuable for cosmetic surgery and vice versa. Internationally, the best facial cosmetic surgeons are those with a strong reconstructive foundation in Craniofacial surgery.
