Facelift Surgery

Refresh and redefine your facial and neck contours with expert facelift and neck lift surgery, performed by Hiroshi at The Westbourne Centre in Birmingham. Signs of ageing aren’t limited to the eyes or cheeks, the jawline and neck often show changes first. That’s why Hiroshi considers both areas together, combining facelift and neck lift techniques for a balanced, natural result. This approach smooths sagging skin, softens deep lines and enhances definition. With over 25 years of experience, Hiroshi is a GMC Specialist Registered consultant plastic surgeon offering personalised care and advanced techniques under local anaesthetic and sedation. You’ll benefit from minimal downtime, faster recovery and a result that feels like you again.

What Is a Facelift and Neck Lift?

A facelift, known medically as Rhytidectomy,  lifts and repositions the skin and deeper layers of the face. When combined with a neck lift, it also addresses the lower face and under the chin for a more complete rejuvenation.

This combined procedure can:

  • Lift jowls and improve definition along the jawline
  • Soften deep creases between the nose and mouth
  • Smooth and tighten sagging skin on the neck
  • Correct visible neck bands or “turkey neck”
  • Restore overall balance to your facial profile

Many patients also choose to combine facelift and neck lift surgery with blepharoplasty, which targets excess skin and puffiness around the eyes for a more refreshed and youthful appearance overall.

Who Is It For

If you’re starting to feel that your outer appearance no longer reflects how youthful and energetic you feel on the inside, this combined procedure may be a good fit.

You might be a good candidate for this combined procedure if:

  • Your reflection looks more tired than you feel
  • You’ve noticed skin laxity, jowls or deeper facial folds
  • Your jawline and neck feel less defined
  • You want results beyond what non-surgical treatments can offer
  • You prefer same-day surgery under local anaesthetic and sedation

At your consultation, Hiroshi will explore your goals and advise whether a facelift alone or with a neck lift is the most effective option.

Types of Facelift Techniques

Facelift surgery is never one-size-fits-all. Hiroshi tailors each procedure to your age, anatomy and expectations, always including the neck when needed for a harmonious result.

SMAS Facelift

This approach lifts both the skin and deeper muscle layer (SMAS), creating results that last and look natural.

  • Ideal for moderate to more advanced ageing changes
  • Targets the midface, jawline and neck

Mini Facelift

A smaller lift with reduced downtime. Ideal for early signs of ageing.

  • Focuses on cheek and jaw definition
  • Shorter incisions and quicker recovery

Neck Lift (as part of facelift)

Involves tightening loose skin, removing fat and reshaping the neck.

  • Reduces fullness or sagging under the chin
  • Defines the jawline and corrects muscle laxity

What to Expect From the Procedure

Your surgery takes place at The Westbourne Centre in Birmingham under local anaesthetic and sedation, ensuring a comfortable experience tailored to your needs.

During Surgery

  • Incisions made discreetly around the ears and hairline
  • Deep tissues are lifted and repositioned
  • Excess skin and fat are removed
  • The neck is refined as part of the overall contouring
  • For a full face and neck lift the operation typically takes 3 to 4 hours
  • You can return home the same day

Aftercare and Recovery

Hiroshi provides tailored support at every stage of your recovery:

  • Day 1–3: Swelling and tightness are expected; pain is usually mild
  • 1 Week: Most patients resume light daily activity
  • 2–3 Weeks: Swelling settles and you’ll see early results
  • 6 Weeks: Results become fully visible and scars fade naturally

Unlimited aftercare is included to give you peace of mind.

Risks and Considerations

All surgery carries risks, but they are low when performed by a specialist like Hiroshi. These include:

  • Temporary swelling, bruising or numbness
  • Scarring (discreet and well-placed)
  • Infection or bleeding (rare)
  • Minor asymmetry or adjustment needs (addressed in follow-up)

You’ll have a full opportunity to discuss any concerns at your consultation.

How is the risk of infection during surgery minimised?

Infection is prevented by the appropriate surgical technique. This means very strict sterility of instruments and the technique has to be meticulous. The environment and correct theatre air flow conditions are very important and there are very strict safeguard controls concerning this. We also reduce infection rates by making sure that the patient is fit and healthy and is MRSA negative pre operatively.

Can I combine this with other surgery?

Yes. Many patients choose to combine facelift surgery with blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) or other facial procedures for more complete results.

How long do the results last?

Most patients enjoy the benefits for 10 years or more, with the ageing process continuing gradually.

Is the procedure painful?

You’ll be sedated during surgery and any post-operative discomfort is manageable with appropriate medication.

Will this improve my neck and jawline?

Yes, the neck is always assessed and treated alongside the face to ensure balanced, natural results.
