A Deep Plane Facelift is built on a thorough understanding of facial anatomy and how it naturally ages over time.
Rather than traditional techniques that pull and stretch the skin and underlying muscle layer (SMAS), the Deep Plane approach tackles the real culprit behind sagging: weakened retaining ligaments.
By addressing the root cause, we can restore your facial tissues to where they naturally belong, giving you results that look genuinely refreshed—not “done.”
Honestly? Much easier than you’d expect.
My patients are always amazed when I tell them there’s virtually no pain involved. You’ll feel some tightness and discomfort for about 10 days, but simple paracetamol does the trick.
Bruising varies from person to person, and yes, you’ll look a bit rough around the edges for 10-15 days. Most people find two weeks off work is plenty before they’re ready to face the world again.

There are several compelling reasons, but these three really stand out:
• Scarring: Because we’re not pulling on the surface, your incisions heal beautifully. No telltale signs like “pixie ears” or thick, obvious scars.
• Natural results: We’re fixing the problem where it starts—sagging ligaments—rather than just pulling skin tight. You won’t get that “windswept” look that screams “facelift,” and your face will move naturally.
• Easier recovery: Working with your body’s natural tissue planes means less trauma, which translates to a much more comfortable healing process.
I’ll be straight with you: mini-lifts are popular for two reasons—they’re easy to market and technically simple to perform, making them attractive to less experienced surgeons.
The reality? They often deliver disappointing results (especially around the neck), don’t last long, and can cause complications like poor scarring and unnatural pulling.
If you’re considering facial rejuvenation, it’s worth doing it properly.

Actually, quite the opposite.
Yes, it’s technically more demanding—it requires years of study and experience to master properly.
That’s precisely why relatively few surgeons offer genuine Deep Plane surgery.
But it’s far gentler on your tissues than conventional methods, which means better results and a smoother recovery.
You’re absolutely right to be cautious. When something becomes trendy, everyone wants a piece of the action.
Here’s a red flag: if your surgeon also advertises nose jobs, breast augmentation, tummy tucks, and everything else under the sun, they’re not a true Deep Plane specialist.
There’s truth in the saying “jack of all trades, master of none”.
I’m seeing more and more patients seeking revision surgery after disappointing results from surgeons who jumped on the Deep Plane bandwagon without proper expertise.
Your face deserves a genuine specialist.
Not even close.
Think of it this way: you could give me and Michelangelo the same paintbrush, but you wouldn’t expect the same masterpiece (I am sorry to disappoint you!).
The technique is just the foundation. The final result depends on surgical skill, artistic eye, and years of dedicated experience.
That’s why nine years ago, I made the decision to focus exclusively on facial surgery—specifically Deep Plane facelifts.
It meant turning away from other procedures, but it allows me to offer you something truly exceptional.
Never.
You might not have heard of hemostatic net (also called A-net), but it’s become quite fashionable recently. Essentially, it involves placing a web of sutures over your skin to prevent bleeding.
If you saw what it looks like, you’d be horrified. I certainly wouldn’t want it done to me.
This net is only necessary when surgeons do extensive, aggressive undermining of the skin.
I use a refined technique called “Preservation Deep Plane” that minimises tissue disruption, which means:
- Faster healing
- Less discomfort
- Reduced bleeding complications—and no need for that net

(You wouldn’t want that for yourself either, would you?)
Here’s the thing about surgical fees: you’re not just paying for a technique—you’re investing in expertise and results.
A £6,000 cataract surgery that restores your sight is infinitely better value than a £1,000 one that leaves you blind.
My Deep Plane facelifts start at £18,000 and may increase depending on additional procedures like eyelid surgery or neck work.
I know it’s a significant investment, but when it comes to your face, you want it done right the first time.
Absolutely. I work with Tu Medicina Financiada to offer flexible payment options, so you can achieve your goals without financial stress.
Yes, like any surgery, we’ll need some basic tests—blood work and an ECG. Occasionally, we might request a chest X-ray.
Nothing too onerous, and we’ll guide you through everything.
I typically recommend staying one night at the clinic with dedicated nursing care, then you’re free to go home the next morning after I’ve seen you and changed your dressings.
Some patients prefer to go home the same day, which is possible if you meet certain criteria for outpatient surgery, but an overnight stay is always more comfortable for you.
Usually, yes, but I understand many people have concerns about going under.
If you’d prefer, and there are no medical reasons against it, I can offer IV sedation with a specialist anaesthetist who’s expert in facial surgery.
It’s straightforward. Use the buttons below to contact via WhatsApp or email, or fill in the online form.
I’ll need some photos first to ensure you’re a good candidate for surgery.
We regularly welcome patients from across the UK and Europe, so we know exactly how to make this work for you.
Don’t worry—we’ve developed a streamlined process specifically for international patients.
We’ll start with photos for initial assessment, then arrange a detailed videoconsultation to discuss your goals and create your personalised treatment plan.
