Due to the current Corona Virus Crisis, the Private Hospitals and Clinics from where I normally consult have been closed and we are only able to see urgent patients. I apologise for the inconvenience.
If there is anything that you wish to discuss with me, then could you please contact Debbie my private secretary on 07502036457 or at debbiewood147@gmail.com, with your contact details and I will telephone you with advice and if it is necessary I will make arrangements to see you at the nearest private hospital to you.
No-one knows exactly how long this situation is going to continue, but one would estimate it will probably be between three and six months before we get back to normal. I look forward to seeing you at that time and wish you and your families all the very best.

A mid face lift procedure is carried out on a more specific area of the face. The mid face lift procedure can is used to raise the lips, refine nasal counters and raise saggy cheeks. It can be performed as a stand alone operation or in tandom with other surgical procedures such as a full face lift, neck lift, laser resurfacing and a brow lift.
Preparation
Before undergoing a mid face lift consideration and preparation are vital elements. Those who are considering the procedure should clearly outline their targets, and openly discuss this with their consultant. Those who are considering the procedure should be aware of the risks and complications that can arise, as well as the practical changes that are needed prior to surgery. Patients are required to stop taking medication which alters blood viscosity including aspirin. In preparation of surgery it is also highly recommended that patients avoid smoking, to provide a quicker recovery.
After the Operation
Following the surgery, an elastic support bandage is applied to the face in order to reduce the risk of haematoma in the cheeks. The patient will then spend a period in recovery of around one hour to ensure there is no bleeding and will remain in hospital overnight.
Once home, the patient is advised to rest in a reclined position whilst avoiding movement in the neck. Those who have under gone the procedure are restricted to a liquid diet and advised to use ice to reduce swelling.
Patients are prescribed antibiotics until the first stitches are removed at around five days. Those who under go the procedure should expect the remaining stitches to be removed within ten days, whilst expecting in excess of two weeks to fully recover.
Recovering from facelift surgery
For the large majority of adults who under go mid face lift surgery the results will be a success with no unforeseen consequences. Despite this, the capacity for risks and complications remain, as is the case for almost all surgical procedures.
Risks and complications
By nature, all medical procedures carry an element of risk. While the majority of patients do not experience any complication during a mid face lift procedure, before embarking on any medical procedure, it is advisable to consult fully with the Mclean Academy so that our qualified staff can discuss any risk or concerns that your procedure may pose.
Body-Jet is an innovative technique, which can be used for re-sculpturing without the potential complications of more traditional methods of liposuction.
