Facial Surgery in Marylebone, London

A full face-lift involves an incision in front of the ear, behind the ear, and across the hairline. The underlying connective tissue (the ‘SMAS’ layer) is tightened and redundant skin is removed. Various techniques are available and the right one chosen based on the patient’s anatomy and shape of face.

Due to the increasing popularity of non-surgical procedures such as Botox, dermal fillers, and Profhilo (a skin booster injectable), the demand for face lift surgery has dipped, although the results of surgery can’t be matched by these other measures, however effective they are. Mr Khoda will advise you of all your surgical and non-surgical options so you can make the best choice for you.

Mr Khoda is an expert in facial surgeries, regularly performing face and neck lifts, blepharoplasty (eyelids surgery), rhinoplasty (a nose job), otoplasty (prominent ear correction), lip lifts, and liposuction to the neck.

We understand that for many patients, facial symmetry and balance is the goal, and that this might involve more than one procedure. Mr Khoda will listen carefully during your consultation, assessing your facial anatomy and understanding your concerns and aesthetic goals. He will advise you on all your options, including doing nothing, and ensure you understand the risk involved in any procedures you are considering.

This depends on the surgeries chosen. Mr Khoda will ensure you are fully informed of all the necessary preparations you should make prior to surgery.

All surgeries can lead to complications, but Mr Khoda works in a safe and consistent manner to minimise any risks. He uses the non-touch technique, avoiding skin contact with any part of the wound or any substance or surface that will come into contact with the wound, such as the inner surface of dressings. The most common complications with surgery are bleeding, haematomas, infection, numbness, alteration in nipple sensation, and the need to return to theatre for further procedures. Surgery also presents a risk of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. Face and neck lift is not permanent and longevity is dependent on elasticity of tissues.
