Face Lift Surgery
Personalised surgery. Natural-looking results. Consultant-led care.
A facelift is a highly effective facial rejuvenation procedure designed to restore a smoother, firmer and more youthful appearance by addressing sagging skin, deep facial folds and loss of definition. Rather than changing the way you look, a facelift enhances your natural features, helping you look refreshed and revitalised.
At Battersea Hospital, our consultant plastic surgeons use advanced facelift techniques tailored to your individual facial anatomy, delivering elegant, natural-looking results that restore confidence while preserving your unique character.
BOOK A CONSULTATION MEET OUR SURGEONSWhat is a Face Lift?
A facelift, also known as a rhytidectomy, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that lifts and repositions the deeper tissues of the face while removing excess skin to reduce visible signs of ageing. It restores definition to the jawline, softens deep folds around the nose and mouth, and improves sagging in the cheeks and lower face.
As we age, the skin loses elasticity, facial fat diminishes and the supporting structures beneath the skin gradually weaken. This can result in jowls, loose skin and a tired or aged appearance. A facelift addresses these changes by tightening the underlying tissues rather than simply pulling the skin, creating a more natural and long-lasting result.
Modern facelift techniques focus on restoring youthful contours while maintaining normal facial movement and expression. The goal is to help you look like a refreshed version of yourself—not someone different.
Many patients choose to combine a facelift with complementary procedures such as a neck lift, eyelid surgery or facial fat transfer to achieve more comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

Can a facelift be combined with other procedures?
Yes. A facelift is commonly combined with a neck lift, eyelid surgery, brow lift or facial fat transfer to achieve comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
Is there an ideal age for a facelift?
There is no ideal age. The best candidates are those with visible signs of facial ageing who remain in good general health and have realistic expectations.
