About Facelift Treatment
Facelift (Rhytidectomy) begins with a discreet incision placed around the hairline and in front of the ears, sometimes extending slightly behind them depending on your anatomy. The incision follows natural facial creases, helping conceal any facelift scars.
Your surgeon will gently lift the skin and reposition the deeper muscles and tissues to redefine your jawline, cheeks, and lower face. Excess skin is removed for a smoother, firmer look before the incisions are closed with fine sutures.
While some clinics offer mini facelift procedures, at Signature Clinic we specialise in full facelift surgery under local anaesthetic designed to deliver longer-lasting, natural results.

"Dr Sherif Elamari and his team were amazing! He took lots of time to explain everything to me the morning of the procedure. The medical team were lovely throughout and the aftercare was great, I could call anytime I had a query. And my facelift looks great! The first 2 weeks were rough and you have to be able to wait out a period of looking strange. For such a reasonable price, i really wasn't expecting much, but 6 weeks later, I look great and nobody would be able to tell I've had it done."
"I visited Signature's Birmingham Clinic, and the entire team was really warm and welcoming when I arrived and checked in. Dr. Carlo Debbas is exceptionally talented and kind, and I am very pleased with my facelift results. Friends and family have complimented my skin and appearance on numerous occasions. My confidence has grown, and I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Carlos Debbas and Signature Clinic."
"I had a fantastic experience (full facelift). The entire process was explained right from the consultation, the surgery, the outcomes, costs, time off etc which made it easy to plan for the surgery."

Facelift FAQ
How much is a facelift UK?
Facelift prices in the UK typically start from Ā£5,000 to Ā£8,000. At Signature Clinic, our facelift cost UK is Ā£5,200 (fixed), with transparent, all-inclusive pricing and flexible finance plans.
Whatās included in the facelift price?
Your cost covers consultation, surgery, anaesthetic, aftercare, and all review appointments.
What aftercare is provided?
We provide every patient with complimentary out-of-hours aftercare. Our patient promise is to be at the clinic within 60 minutes of your emergency if necessary.
After a facelift, will there be visible scarring?
Scarring is maintained to a minimum using the most cutting-edge facelift techniques now available. The locations of the incisions will be carefully chosen to minimise visibility during healing and over time. Both for men and women, they are also very well hidden.
Often, the hairline and the area around the ears are where a facelift leaves scars. This indicates that your hair can help conceal the scars. Your scars will fade and flatten with time and good care, becoming practically undetectable.
How long does a facelift last?
The effects should endure for several years. The facelift tries to combat the most difficult apparent indicators of ageing because the ageing process is ongoing. You can extend the results of the facelift as long as possible by leading a healthy lifestyle and following good skincare practices.
After a facelift, will there be bruising and swelling?
Swelling is a side effect of all surgical treatments, including facelifts. Bruising following surgery varies depending on the patientās natural healing processes. After two to three weeks, any swelling and bruising should subside and eventually go away.
How long after a facelift can someone exercise?
Itās recommended not to perform strenuous exercise for the first 2-3 weeks following the facelift procedure.
