    What Mr Gore’s patients have to say…

    What Is A Good Age For A Facelift?

    There is no specific age for you to get a facelift. Most women find that their skin starts to sag and age around their 40s or 50s, but this could happen earlier or later. Genetics, diet, lifestyle and other factors can affect your skin’s elasticity and appearance. If you are interested in a facelift at any age, Sinclair Gore can provide you with support and guidance throughout the process.

    How Long Do The Effects Of A Facelift Last?

    Every patient is different, and results will vary depending on the type of facelift you choose, but definitive long lasting positive change can be created by using proper reconstructive surgical techniques. Facial ageing does continue and many patients do engage with maintenance surface or injectable treatments, but the tissue repositioning impact of a deep place facelift and necklift should be long-lasting. Sinclair Gore will explain the effects you can expect from each type of facelift and how to get the best possible results during your initial consultation.

    What Is The Most Natural-Looking Facelift?

    A deep plane facelift is often considered to produce the most natural results, as this involves releasing and repositioning facial ligaments and tissues, not just the skin, to create a naturally tighter visage. Sinclair Gore will be happy to discuss your options to help you get the results you want from your facelift.

    How Much Does A Facelift Cost?

    A facelift (deep plane) with a lateral neck lift costs from £16,000. The exact price you will pay depends on the type of facelift procedure you choose and any additional treatments you require. For a bespoke quote and tailored treatment plan, book a consultation with Sinclair Gore.
