Dominic Bray turns an ugly duckling into the Duchess of Sussex. Jacono and Bray do FLs under local anaesthetic alone. Bray: However, as this is comprehensive deep plane surgery it is never rushed and can take up to 4 hours. That is a long time to lie in one position so I prefer to make the time pass comfortably for my patients with a little sedation.

Jacono is very expensive

You serious?!! I get heart palpitations thinking of this!

I should think some IV sedation would be preferable, if not required (at least for me).

For those who forgot how I looked like before, here I am outside the clinic for my free one hour consultation appointment with Nick Rhodes on June 19 next to my 1 month post last week after a £3495 vertical VR macs suspension facelift (following Professor Tonnard’s technique) on July 5. Nick posted on IG that it should last 4-10 years. As my weight is stable and I do not smoke, try to avoid the sun and drink very little, I am hoping this lasts the full 10 years! I love how my face looks smaller! I wish I had this done at 50. Could have enjoyed a life without watching my diet, water intake, salt intake, cake intake... Removing 5 cms of loose facial skin is a lot! And I love my v line smas lift. Remember if you get too many fat grafts that expand your face or any bone contour surgery that makes you lose the bony scaffold for your soft tissues and skin, the need for a facelift is a given. And you don’t need to spend £29k or $120k! Remember like breast implants are not for life, so is a facelift. You need to save every decade for an affordable facelift.

Its not so much the Macs lift that has this complication. Its more when its performed using the vertical vector since this technique seeks to manipulate additional tissue planes. Ah thats a good point actually. Excessive facial stretching can further increase the risk of suture tearing.

And yeh for the type of lifting you had it usually lasts 5 years. But I believe because you seem to have good tissue structure it should last longer. I was told by my facelift surgeon that ulthera helps increase the longevity of a lift but i just cbf doing it because I never notice much (if any)difference each time i do it. Mine was a smas lift and i actually requested mine to be pulled horizontally from the malar region deliberately because I know the smas lift can cause a slanty eye effect for people with more anterior projection like myself. My scars are not visible in the slightest though because it was done within the hairline not at (in front of). I opted for that because I wanted a lift that lasts 10 years and up since knowing myself, the moment i notice any sign of sagging i will rush to do something. And while repeated facelifts is fine, the incision site and form thicking scars the more you do it which could be difficult to conceal. Im such a junky the other day I counted I've literally done like 21 lots of surgeries over the years Sheessssh. Once the quarantine is no longer required ima fly to korea to do a forehead lift, not because Im sagging there but because my eyebrows are naturally lower, giving me resting betch face -_-/

I know Dr lee in Korea does the deep planes. Crazy expensive prices. A friend of mine paid like 25k-30k usd i believe to do it with similar results to a smas. She was kinda pissed after but at least she looks good now. Actually Mendelson who is a facelift master himself is also retiring by mid next year. Dude is ancient now too lol. He was meant to retire last year but due to covid he decided to extend it.

All the best with your recovery x

i would totally do my forehead lift with him if i didnt have to pay 30k LOL. Also he is one year away from retiring and i dunno how id feel letting a surgeon that old operate on me. When he did my concentric malar lift it was like more than 13 years ago!

@Ms Orange….Omg .You look amazing…as always. Just in time I have been obsessively following Dr Jacono ..would have to sell a body part to afford him Your results are fantastic. Was this a skin only vertical face lift/ mini lift or a smas lift? Sorry to make you repeat yourself if you already mentioned it.
