We are happy to share our client’s fantastic results.

When I perform a facelift, I always turn to the Deep Plane technique—here’s why it makes all the difference:

• Deeper Release, Smoother Lift – Not only do we work under the skin but also under the SMAS to free the fibrous layer, so your cheeks, jowls & neck lift together as one seamless unit.

• Natural Contours Restored – By mobilising fat pads as a group, you get realignment, not just a tight face.

• Built‑In Longevity – Anchored on a sturdier foundation, your results last longer and age more gracefully—no wind‑blown look, just timeless confidence.

Furthermore, I work on the SMAS for a beautifully anchored lift. The —the Superficial Musculo-Aponeurotic System—is the fibrous web just under your skin that links muscles to your face’s surface. By lifting on this plane, we can:

🖋️Sculpt your mid‑face and jaw with surgical precision.
🫦 Reduce skin tension (think finer, less noticeable scars)Give your results rock‑solid support for a long‑lasting, natural look.

✨ Transformation Spotlight ✨

This patient came to us looking for a solution for .

Gynaecomastia is the enlargement of breast tissue in males, often caused by a hormone imbalance, certain medications, or genetics. It can affect one or both sides of the chest and is often resistant to diet and exercise. While not harmful, it can impact self-confidence — which is why many choose surgical treatment to restore a flatter, more masculine chest.

After a successful gynaecomastia repair, our client is feeling more confident, comfortable, and ready to enjoy his active and outdoor life to the fullest. 💪☀️

We’re so pleased he’s happy with his results — and proud to be part of his journey.

📍Every transformation is personal. If gynaecomastia is holding you back, we’re here to help.

Winter Skin & Surgery 👨🏼‍⚕️

Thinking about this winter? Colder months are actually one of the best times to plan your . Here’s why winter may be the ideal season for your transformation:

✨ 1. More Time to Recover Discreetly:
Scarves, hats, and cozy layers help you heal in comfort — and privacy. Winter wardrobes make it easier to conceal swelling or dressings while you recover.
🕒 2. Flexible Schedules:
With holidays and time off from work, many patients find it easier to schedule their procedures — and rest — without missing major events.
🌤 3. Less Sun = Better Healing:
Cooler weather and shorter days mean less sun exposure, which helps protect incisions and minimizes the risk of pigmentation changes or scarring.
💆‍♀️ 4. Get Ready for Spring:
Winter is the perfect time to plan ahead. By starting now, you’ll be fully healed and glowing in time for spring and summer events.
