Face Lift / Neck Lift
Face lift Surgery (rhytidectomy) remains a popular procedure. Although non-surgical interventions have come a long way in recent years they are still far from being able to replace the level of rejuvenation that is provided by a face lift.
Facial ageing leads to changes that include sagging skin, wrinkles, deepening folds around the mouth, appearance of jowls and loss of volume. The aim of the face lift is to not only lift and tighten loose and sagging skin but to restore the natural contours of the face by elevating the underlying supporting structures.
Facial changes go hand in hand with ageing of the neck structures resulting in poorly defined jaw lines, loose skin and bands in the neck. Therefore, face lift and neck lift procedures are usually performed in combination to deliver you the ultimate rejuvenation.
Other procedures may be performed in conjunction with a face lift to restore natural balance and proportion to the face such as eyelid lift, brow lift and chin augmentation. To ensure a comprehensive approach to facial rejuvenation Dr Watts also employs advanced non-surgical techniques such as wrinkle relaxers, fillers and skin resurfacing to enhance skin texture, tone and restore fullness and glow. These procedures can be performed before, during or after your face lift procedure.
Dr. Watts appreciates and understands the intricate relationship between facial structure, ageing and beauty. Utilising advanced face lift techniques acquired in New York he will customise an approach to give you a fresher, brighter and rejuvenated appearance.

His precisely tailored techniques will ensure incisions are in harmony with your natural contours, hairline and creases.

PROCEDURE AND RECOVERY PERIOD
Dr Watts usually performs his face lift procedure on an inpatient basis but this can depend on the individual and the type of facelift required. Performed under general anaesthetic face lifts can take 2-4 hours to complete depending on the technique and additional procedures planned. If required, drainage devices will be used and post-operative bandages may be applied. You will be monitored overnight to ensure your initial recovery is progressing well and then allowed to return home the following day with a friend or family member.
Written procedure specific information sheets will be given to you in order for you to prepare for your surgery and the recovery period. You may experience mild discomfort after the procedure and so a postoperative analgesia regime will be tailored to meet your specific needs. A certain degree of swelling and bruising to the face and neck are to be expected but our comprehensive post-operative instructions will arm you with techniques to help minimise and speed your recovery. In general, you can expect the majority of swelling and bruising to have subsided within 2 weeks.
Dr Watts and his team are dedicated to providing ongoing care, support and guidance throughout your entire journey. They will be readily available to answer any further questions you may have to ensure a safe and smooth recovery.
