Nose Reshaping
Nose reshaping is an increasingly popular day case procedure with women opting to reduce the size of the nose, straighten the septum, alter the bridge or change the shape of the tip. There are two surgical techniques: ‘open’ whereby there is a small cut under the nostrils and the skin is lifted to reveal the cartilages and bone; and ‘closed’ whereby entry is through the nostrils. Your consultant will discuss with you and then determine the most suitable technique to achieve the best result. Surgery is delivered under general anaesthetic and takes around two hours.
Eyelid surgery (upper eyelids/lower eyebags)
It is often drooping eyelids or large eye bags that often ‘age’ women or make them look ‘tired’. There is a common belief from consultants that an upper eyelid procedure is for those women looking for a more youthful look as the removal of upper eyelid gives the eyes a more ‘fresher’ look. The surgery is typically delivered under general anaesthetic and takes from 1-2 hours.
Ear Surgery
Prominent Ear Correction - typically a procedure for women who are unhappy with either the size or positioning of their ears. Performed as day case surgery the procedure to reposition, resize or reshape the ears is normally performed under local anaesthetic and takes around one hour. Ear lobe repair whether split, expanded or damaged are minor surgery procedures delivered under local anaesthetic.
Facelift
A facelift is cosmetic surgery that makes your face and neck tighter and smoother to give you a more youthful and fresher appearance. Also known as rhytidoplasty, a facelift treats loose skin, lines and wrinkles, lack of muscle tone, and other signs of ageing by lifting up your skin, deeper tissues and surrounding muscles.
