Combining facelift surgery with facial fat grafting, lip lift and eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) can help balance facial proportions by addressing skin laxity, volume change and heaviness around the upper eyes. Adding fractionated laser during the recovery period improves skin texture, scars and overall skin quality. This comprehensive approach creates a lifted, harmonious result while keeping the focus on facial balance.

Thinking about a facelift in 2026?
• Reach out to your shortlisted surgeons ~6-12 months before your ideal date
• Consult at least two Specialist Plastic Surgeons
• Check credentials, including membership with ASPS

Fast facelift facts:
• Surgery time: 4-5 hours
• Hospital stay: 1 night
• Time off work: 3 weeks
• Time off driving: 2 weeks
• Support garment: 24/7 for 3 wks, then when at home for another 3 wks thereafter
• No exercise: 6 weeks
• Minor risk (in healthy patients): ~10%
• Major complication risk: ~1%

How we plan implant selection: and why one tool is never enough!

Choosing an implant isn’t about picking a cup size or relying on a single image. Every body is different and outcomes depend on proportion, shape, and balance - not only volume.

At The Sharp Clinic, we use multiple planning tools to support patients in making an informed decision:
• 3D simulations
• In-bra sizers
• Detailed measurements during your consultations with Dr Sharp

We recommend at least two sizing sessions before surgery, giving patients time to reflect and feel confident in their choice.

Simulation are a valuable guide, helping shape the discussion, but not defining the final result.

Rather than focusing on resultant cup size, we encourage patients to think about their desired overall look:
• Subtle and discreet
• Fuller, but proportionate
• Or a more significant size increase

This image shows a patient before surgery, her simulation and 3 months after surgery with Dr Sharp using a 335cc full profile round Motiva implant. It demonstrates how simulation can be helpful, but not precise, and why the final result is always the culmination of thoughtful planning, skilled surgery and realistic expectations.
