Face Surgery

What is Face Surgery?

Facial surgery, also known as facial plastic surgery or facial rejuvenation, encompasses a range of procedures designed to enhance and reshape the face and neck area. These surgeries may address signs of aging, genetics, or specific aesthetic concerns, to help patients achieve their desired facial appearance.

Common Reasons for Face Surgery

Patients may seek facial surgery to address various concerns, including:

  • Sagging skin and loss of facial volume due to aging

  • Deep wrinkles, lines, and creases that affect facial expression

  • Drooping eyelids that may impact vision or appearance

  • Loss of definition in the jawline and neck area

  • Asymmetry or disproportion in facial features

  • Sun damage and skin texture irregularities

  • Enhancing natural facial features for better balance and harmony

The types of Facial Surgery performed by Dr Henry Shepherd include:

Facelift (including deep plane)

A facelift, medically known as rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure that addresses sagging skin, deep wrinkles, and loss of facial volume of the face and neck. Modern facelift techniques, particularly the Deep Plane Facelift, reposition underlying facial structures rather than simply tightening the skin.

Lip Lift

A lip lift is a surgical procedure that shortens the distance between the nose and the upper lip while exposing more of the upper lip's pink portion (vermillion). This can create fuller-looking top lip, and may improve facial proportions.

Blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty, commonly known as eyelid surgery, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin, fat, and sometimes muscle from the upper and/or lower eyelids. This procedure addresses drooping eyelids and subsequent vision issues, under-eye bags, puffiness, and ageing skin.
