There’s a lot of talk about how celebrities’ faces are changing — and sometimes, they do start to look a little different from their old selves. While plastic surgery and non-surgical treatments can play a role, it’s important to remember that ageing itself changes our faces too. Skin texture, volume, bone structure — they all shift over time. Not every change is the result of a procedure. Sometimes, it’s just time doing its thing.
Surgery has risks and entails a recovery period. Full details are on our website for each procedure via the link in bio. Always consult a specialist plastic surgeon to see if surgery is right for you.

There’s something special about coming together with colleagues from around the world — sharing ideas, learning new techniques, and reinforcing what we already know. Conferences are where the future of plastic surgery is shaped: where younger surgeons are encouraged to step up to the podium, and where we continue to learn from the giants who paved the way. It’s inspiring, energising, and a reminder of why I love what I do.

Why does the forehead sometimes become less wrinkled after blepharoplasty (eyelid reduction surgery)? I didn’t operate on this man’s forehead. But it is less lined. Why? Because heavy eyelids can cause a person to increase the tone in their forehead muscle to keep their brows raised so that they can see through their heavy eyelids. The forehead muscle sometimes relaxes and the forehead lines can possibly improve after the excess upper lid skin is removed.

Operation: upper and lower lid blepharoplasty
Duration: 1.5 hours
Nights in hospital: 0-1 night
Photos taken: 4 months post op
Age of patient: 70-75 years
Bruising: 2-3 weeks
Time to return to work: desk work at 2 weeks
Time to driving: vision clears by 1 week
Minor complications eg taking more skin in further minor op: 10% risk
Major complications eg bleeding:

Why is abdominoplasty often the first step in body contouring after major weight loss?�🔹 For many patients, the abdomen is the biggest area of concern�🔹 It allows us to see how an individual’s body heals and scars in a likely well-hidden location�🔹 tightening the abdominal contour helps to set the foundation for further tightening in other areas
Every person’s journey is unique, and surgery is not the right choice for everyone and sometimes we leave the abdominoplasty until last! A thorough consultation is essential to discuss goals, risks, and alternatives.
