The Philosophy
“A facelift shouldn't change who you are; it should simply reveal the vitality and youthfulness you still feel inside.”
Dr Hassan
Dr. Hassan Soueid Lead Surgeon

As we age, the structural support beneath our skin begins to diminish. Gravity, sun exposure, and daily stress take their toll, leading to jowls, deep folds, and a loss of definition in the neck and jawline. At Kensington Cosmetic Clinic, we approach the facelift not as a procedure to pull skin tight, but as a complex structural restoration.

Using the advanced Deep Plane SMAS technique, Dr. Hassan re-suspends the underlying muscle and tissue layers (the SMAS) to their original, youthful position. By lifting the foundation rather than pulling the superficial skin, the results are impeccably natural, avoiding the dreaded 'windblown' look entirely.

The Necklift Synergy

A beautifully rejuvenated face demands a sharply contoured jawline and a smooth neck. Rarely is a facelift performed in our clinic without simultaneously addressing the neck. Through tiny, hidden incisions, excess fat is sculpted, and the platysma muscle bands are tightened, restoring an elegant, swan-like contour to the lower face and neck profile.

Facelift & Detail

Is This Right For You?

Ideal candidates are typically in their late 40s to 70s, experiencing significant laxity in the lower face and neck. During your comprehensive consultation, Dr. Hassan will conduct a highly detailed facial analysis, mapping your unique bone structure and tissue elasticity to determine the exact surgical vector required for your bespoke transformation. Consider complementing the lift with Upper & Lower Blepharoplasty for total harmony.

Questions

Dr. Hassan employs meticulous surgical techniques to ensure incisions are hidden within the natural contours of your ear and extending into the hairline. Over time, these fine lines fade significantly, becoming virtually undetectable to the untrained eye.
While a facelift resets the clock, it does not stop it. Due to the deep-plane SMAS technique used, results typically last between 10 to 15 years. Maintaining a stable weight, protecting your skin from the sun, and following a good skincare regimen will prolong your results.
Most patients are surprised by how little pain they experience. You will be under anesthesia during the surgery. Post-operatively, patients describe a feeling of 'tightness' rather than sharp pain, which is easily managed with prescribed medication for the first few days.
Absolutely. It is highly common to combine a Facelift with Upper or Lower Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), or even fat transfer, to ensure a harmonious, full-face rejuvenation with a single recovery period.
