8 Facial A face and/or neck lift, is one of the most commonly performed cosmetic procedures for both men and women. Many people feel deeply unhappy about ageing on the outside when they still feel young at heart on the inside. It is important to realise that a facelift will not change your life, though many ex-patients have revealed that the psychological benefits exceeded their expectations. The best patient is someone with jowls, loose neck skin and a general saggy appearance to the skin on the face and neck. If you also have wrinkles, a facelift can be combined with non- surgical facial rejuvenation for an improved overall result. Patient before and after neck lift What is involved? Incisions usually begin above the hairline at the temples, follow the natural line in front of the ear, curve behind the earlobe into the crease behind the ear, and into or along the lower scalp. The arrow shows how the area is moved upwards. Facial, neck tissue and muscle may be separated; fat may be trimmed or suctioned and underlying muscle may be tightened. After deep tissues are tightened, the excess skin is pulled up and back, trimmed and sutured into position. Most of the scars will be hidden within your hair and in the normal creases of your skin. 8

9 During your consultation, the Surgeon will evaluate whether or not you are a suitable candidate and will develop an individual surgical plan designed to suit your own particular needs.

10 Eye Eyelid or eyebag surgery, also known as 'blepharoplasty' can reduce wrinkles and rejuvenate your face's appearance. The typical patient is someone with bags under the eyes, wrinkles or drooping layers of skin on the eyelids. These combined together can create a tired or sad looking appearance that may run in families and is common in both men and women. As the eyes are one of the first features we notice, eye surgery can often brighten up the whole face and give the patient an overall rejuvenated appearance. Upper eyelid surgery During upper eyelid surgery, your surgeon will make an incision in the natural skin fold of your eyelid. Next, unwanted skin, fat, and muscle are removed to give the eye more shape. Once the incision is closed, the scar will be hidden inside the natural fold of your upper eyelid. Lower eyelid surgery During lower eyelid surgery, the surgeon moves or removes fat from under-eye bags either through a direct incision just below the lower lashes or through an incision made inside the lower eyelid. A small amount of skin may also be removed, but the muscle that closes the eyelid is not touched. Vicky before eye lift surgery 10

12 Nose A Rhinoplasty not only alters the shape and proportion of the nose itself, but may also enhance the appearance of the whole face. Many people are unhappy with the shape of their nose. It may have a hump, be too long or wide and in addition, there are sometimes problems that contribute to breathing difficulties. All of these conditions can normally be improved with a Rhinoplasty or 'nose job'. What is involved? During your consultation the Surgeon will try to determine the changes that you wish to make to your nose. The Surgeon will then discuss with you the improvements that could be made and develop an individual surgical plan to suit your particular needs. A Rhinoplasty could provide significant enhancement to the appearance of the nose for both men and women it is performed under general anaesthetic and will require an overnight stay in hospital.

14 Ear The aim of Otoplasty, or ear reshaping, is to improve the shape and contour of the ears. Success will be judged by the new shape and profile achieved. An Otoplasty can be carried out from any age as by the age of six the ears have reached approximately 90% of their adult size. However The Hospital Group do not perform ear surgery until the patient is at least 18 years of age. What is involved? During your consultation, the Surgeon will determine the changes that you wish to make to your ears. An Otoplasty could provide significant enhancement to the appearance of the ears for both men and women. It is performed under general anaesthetic and will require an overnight stay in hospital. 14

16 Non-surgical x Botox Anti-Wrinkle injections BOTOX is a purified protein, which is injected to reduce the activity of the facial muscles causing those deep ageing lines. The most popular areas for treatment are: Frown lines between the eyes (glabellar) Forehead lines Crows feet We can also offer more advanced treatments for the lower face, neck and de colletage areas. You will begin to see an improvement within days and the full effect normally within 7-10 days. The results will last between 4-6 months depending on age, sex, life style and skin condition. The good news is that as you continue this treatment, the results will last longer. Juvéderm Dermal Fillers We offer Allergan s latest Juvéderm fillers, which contain a local anaesthetic for a more comfortable experience than other fillers available. The most popular treatment options are: Filling deep lines e.g. forehead lines, crow s feet or nose to mouth lines.

This simple, safe but effective treatment is used to reduce the visible signs of aging, reducing the appearance of fine lines, discolouration, acne scars and blemishes to deliver a fresh, healthy and radiant complexion. They are available in different concentrations and often offered as a course of treatment for best results. Our staff can advise on what s right for you in a consultation.

18 Laser Skin Our new and revolutionary laser machine, can offer a range of laser skin tightening and rejuvenation treatments for the face and body. Skin Tightening and Skin Rejuvenation This is a method to firm and tighten areas of the face and body that have been damaged or affected by old age. The laser targets specific areas to promote the production of new collagen and cell repair for a more youthful and revitalised appearance. Significant visible results can be achieved in just one single treatment through a combination of ablation and coagulation. Skin Rejuvenation Patient before and after treatment How does it work? In a skin tightening treatment a laser targets the area deep within the skin causing the collagen within the skin to contract. This process removes sun damaged tissue, before stimulating the production of new, healtheer skin cells and rebuilding fresh collagen in the skin. This plumps the skin from below whilst repairing photo-damage and other skin imperfections. Skin Rejuvenation Patient before and after treatment 18

19 Hair Removal We also offer the full range of laser hair removal for body and face. This is a quick, effective way to deal with unwanted hair and a very practical alternative to shaving or waxing. Laser hair removal is normally delivered in a course of 6 treatments to eliminate all the hair, although the difference is often noticeable after the first session. Treatable areas include the upper lip, chin, upper eyebrows, beard area or full face. Vein Reduction (Vascular) Treatment If you suffer from unsightly red or purple veins on your face and body, whether they are caused by smoking, alcohol consumption, hormone changes or temperature changes; they are very hard to get rid of naturally. Laser vein treatment provides a very successful option in terms of reducing and removing these veins. Small, facial veins can be treated quickly without bruising or complication. The laser beams target the affected area and homes in on the small red blood vessels underneath the skin which are causing the problem. The warmth of the laser also heats up collagen fibres, which in turn rebuild and support the blood vessels, this helps to delay the development of more thread veins. Treatable areas include: Forehead and cheeks, Eyebrows, Wrinkles around the eyes, Thighs, Arms, Abdomen, and Buttocks. 19
