‘Ozempic face’ is a growing phenomenon and with a direct correlation to increasing number of men and women using weight loss injections - all brands

Fat losses in the face can be sudden which does not give the skin time to contract. Fat losses in this instance are most marked in the temple and cheek area (buccal fat pockets), leading to deepening nose to mouth lines (nasolabial folds), hollow eyes and sagging jawline.

One solution: SCULPTRA injections. This tried, tested and safe injectable treatment offers predictable results, softening facial contours - especially in the temple, cheek and jowl areas.

A necklift is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to enhance the appearance of the neck by removing excess skin and fat, and tightening the underlying muscles, restoring a smooth and well-defined profile.

**The Procedure

The necklift procedure typically involves incisions behind the ears and under the chin. Through these incisions, the surgeon can remove or reposition fat deposits, tighten muscles, and trim away excess skin. The result is a more streamlined and youthful neck. In some cases, a necklift is combined with other procedures like a facelift or liposuction to achieve optimal results. There are different options such as an anterior (short scar) necklift or a deep plane(extended) necklift

**Recovery and Results

Recovery from a necklift varies from person to person, but most individuals can expect some swelling and bruising for the first few weeks. It’s crucial to follow post-operative care instructions to ensure a smooth recovery. The results of a necklift can be long-lasting, particularly when combined with a healthy lifestyle and good skincare routine.

If you’re bothered by a “turkey neck,” excess fat, or loose skin around your jawline and neck, a necklift might be an excellent option for you.

Remember, while a necklift can significantly enhance your appearance, it’s essential to have realistic expectations and understand that results can vary.

A very elegant example of primary rhinoplasty with rib graft augmentation of the dorsum, detailed tip definition and balanced reduction of the alar base . This is technically challenging surgery made possible with the use of ultrasonic instruments. The aim is to naturally refine and enhance a beautiful profile and requires extensive repeating 3D planning.

This is a wonderful example of enhancing facial aesthetics with an elegant technique from a skilled surgeon, Mr Lucian Ion.
Primary rhinoplasty, often simply called a «nose job,» is a surgical procedure that reshapes or resizes the nose. It’s termed «primary» when it’s the first rhinoplasty procedure on a nose, distinguishing it from secondary or revision rhinoplasty which corrects or refines a previous rhinoplasty.
**Procedure Steps:**
✅Consultation:** A preoperative assessment where the surgeon discusses the patient’s goals and evaluates the anatomy of the nose and face.
✅Anesthesia:** Rhinoplasty can be performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on the complexity and patient/surgeon preference.
✅Incisions:** There are two primary approaches:
- **Closed Rhinoplasty:** Incisions are hidden inside the nose.
- **Open Rhinoplasty:** An incision is made across the narrow strip of tissue that separates the nostrils (columella), allowing better visibility and access to nasal structures.
✅Reshaping:** The surgeon might remove bone and cartilage, or tissue might be added (from another part of the body or using a synthetic filler).
✅Straightening:** The septum is straightened if deviated, which can improve breathing.
✅Closing Incisions:** After reshaping, the nasal skin and tissues are redraped and incisions are closed.
✅Recovery:** Splints, tapes, or gauze might be applied to support the nose and protect it while healing.
- Swelling, bruising, and discomfort are common initial side effects.
- Most patients feel ready to return to work or school within 1-2 weeks, but full activity, especially strenuous exercise, might be restricted for several weeks.
🔥Risks:**
- Anesthesia risks.
- Poor wound healing or scarring.
- Unsatisfactory aesthetic results.
- Difficulty breathing.
- Persistent swelling or numbness.
- Need for revision surgery.

👍The surgeon’s expertise plays a significant role in achieving desired outcomes and minimizing potential complications. It’s also vital for patients to set realistic expectations and follow post-operative care guidelines diligently.

We are so grateful to our lovely patient for allowing us to share her photos with you. She had a primary rhinoplasty with precision ultrasonic instruments allowing for super well defined tip. This was combined with a short scar facelift for natural rejuvenation. This type of facelift combines SMAS plication with a limited skin excision for a fast recovery. We can’t stop admiring the wonderful effect on the cheekbones and jawline.

✍️ An interesting piece by Harriet Walker in the Sunday Times Magazine and I was very happy to be included. This is an important topic to highlight involving young, impressionable women - and men - seeking (sometimes non-reversible) aesthetic cosmetic treatments.

🤳 Selfie obsession has been driving some very unhealthy preoccupations and when combined with filters can give the viewer a very distorted and unnatural image. Some celebrities have begun to fight back (think Baywatch star Pamela Anderson’s red carpet fresh face drive) but the young are not seeming to follow - yet anyway!

🩺 Luckily my patients in the main are professional women and men aged 35 - 70 and their goals are to ‘freshen, not change’ their looks, but I do see a small but sadly growing number of 20 somethings seeking, often inappropriate, interventions.
