Types of facelift
A good facelift is the cornerstone of comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Facelifting is an umbrella term describing a number of techniques to lift the lower part of the cheek volume which improves the jowls and defines the jawline. There is a facelift procedure to suit women of all ages, although most patients range between 40 and 70. Sinclair Gore can help you to find the right solution to create the look you’ve always wanted. As an experienced cosmetic surgeon, he can also carry out other procedures concurrently or at a later date to transform your appearance.
Deep Plane Facelift: Sinclair Gore specialises in deep plane facelifts, which offers you the chance to get natural-looking results that will rejuvenate your face. The procedure involves releasing and repositioning facial ligaments and tissue layers, not just the skin. This advanced procedure needs to be carried out by an experienced plastic surgeon like Sinclair Gore.
Full Facelift: A full facelift usually incorporates an upper neck lift procedure to tighten the neck and jawline, as well as the skin of the face. This procedure can help patients who wish to enhance their upper neck and define their jawline, and can give you a cohesive, youthful visage.
Other Procedures: In addition to these facelift options, patients can also choose to incorporate other facial reconstruction or rejuvenation procedures to create the perfect look. Every area of the face and neck, including the jowls, eyes and cheeks, can be enhanced to create the look you want. Because Sinclair Gore has expertise carrying out a range of procedures, he can take your ideas and build a plan that will give you the best chance of success. As well as aesthetic goals, he’ll also factor in recovery time, face shape and other factors to ensure you enjoy the optimal plastic surgery experience.

FAQ
Facelift FAQs
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.
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.
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.
