As we begin to age, one of the first places to show the visible signs is our face such as sagging skin or droop. Many do not want to undergo full facelift surgery with long downtimes, or they feel that they do not need full facelift. A one stitch facelift or mini facelift is exactly that, a facelift with one incision point and one stitch within minimal downtime too.

The Private Clinic offer the one stitch and temporal facelift in London. It is proving to be a highly popular procedure in 2020 due to the many advantages it can achieve. Our expert Plastic Surgeons have extensive experience in one stitch and temporal facelifts, book a consultation to find out more. Mr Davood Fallahdar and Mr Roberto Uccellini specialise in facelifts. You can book a consultation in our Harley street clinic.

What is a One Stitch or mini facelift?

The one-stitch facelift or 3D Facelift procedure is much less invasive than a full facelift and can be safely carried out under local anaesthetic. The results are a little more subtle in comparison and very effective in producing a firmer, tighter and more rejuvenated appearance to the face.

What are the advantages of a one stitch or mini facelift?

  • Targets the mid-face and can improve the jaw line
  • Minimal downtime
  • Low risk of swelling & bruising
  • Minimal hidden scarring within the hairline
  • Performed under local anaesthetic
  • Back to work in no time at all
  • No one need know and you will look refreshed and younger

What is a Temporal facelift?

The Temporal Facelift is another minimally invasive facelift procedure that concentrates on the eyebrows to the midface. It is a quick procedure performed under local anaesthetic with a much smaller scar than a traditional facelift. The results are effective in producing a natural looking lift to the face.

What are the advantages of a Temporal facelift?

  • Short 5-6cm scar hidden within the temporal hair line,no one can see it
  • Targets the upper face
  • Performed under local anaesthetic
  • Minimal downtime
  • Low risk of swelling & bruising
  • Back to work in no time at all and no one need know

What to Expect

The Private Clinic has been treating patients for over 35 years with thousands of people placing their trust in us each year. We pride ourselves on being able to offer a personalised service. We have a team of friendly nurses and expert surgeons who understand the importance of this decision and will support you throughout your journey with us.

  • Consultation
  • Pre-Operation
  • The Procedure
  • Aftercare

The Consultation

The first stage of your one stitch facelift treatment journey will be a consultation with one of our expert facelift surgeons.
At your consultation, your surgeon will go through the procedure in detail and examine the area.

Your surgeon will then discuss:

  • Your medical history
  • Your expectations from surgery
  • Risks and Complications of one stitch facelift surgery
  • Aftercare

Following your consultation, you will be introduced to your dedicated patient coordinator who will be your point of contact should you wish to proceed with one stitch facelift surgery.

Pre-Operative Advice

In the interests of patient safety all our patients are assessed against our patient selection criteria. Following your consultation and review of your past medical history, the physician or preoperative nurse will choose any pre-operative tests considered to be appropriate, most of which are routine blood tests.

One-Stitch Mini Facelift Treatment

The one stitch facelift is performed under local anaesthetic so your procedure will start with a small injection to the area being treated which will then eventually become numb.

Once numb your surgeon will then make a small incision within the hairline, so no one will be able to see it. The skin is then removed and a stich is passed through the deep tissue within the cheek which is then tightened and secured before the incision is closed with dissolvable sutures.

The Temporal Facelift is also performed under local anaesthetic so will begin in a similar way with a small injection of local anaesthesia to numb the area being treated. The surgeon will then make an incision above the hairline at the temples. The skin is then separated from the fat and muscle below and the underlying muscle and SMAS membranes are tightened. The skin is then pulled back and any excess is removed and the incision is closed with dissolvable sutures. A blepharoplasty is often performed at the same time as a temporal facelift.

After your One-Stitch Mini Facelift

The results of a one-stitch facelift and temporal facelift are long lasting as the procedure involves removing skin. You will still age as normal so the results of your facelift may change slightly over time but the effects should remain visible for a long time after surgery.

The downtime after a one-stitch facelift and temporal facelift is minimal with many patients feeling able to return to work the next day.
A follow-up appointment with a clinic nurse will be made to check your wounds.

    Excellent treatment guided by Dr.Nicholas Kalavrezos and the Anaesthesia Team led by Dr Martinez. It was mg first time under General A and I wasn’t too excited. From start to finish all the nurses were superb, the room was clean and my food was also yummy. Sometimes it pays to sort your Private Medical Insurance our. The surgery was booked in less than a week after my 2nd consultation. MRSA and Covid Test also were done prior. I can not recommend The Harley Street Clinic enough.Thank you everyone. Regards Monica

    Had a FUE hair transplant on 16 December with Dr Furqan Raja.He and the two nurses he worked with were fantastic!They made me feel very comfortable throughout the procedure and constantly checked in with me. I had 1700 grafts taken from the back of my head and put into the front where I had gone bald either side of my windows peak.It took a bit longer than I thought (about 8.5 hours) but this was due to the high quality, attention to detail and best result they wanted to achieve for me.I had the procedure done at the Leeds clinic but could have chosen Manchester too. I travelled two hours there and back in one day.I am now following the after care information they gave me and also the full kit of products they provided (all included in the price) to help me make sure I look after the new grafts properly.I have follow up appointments with the nurse and access to an emergency on call nurse 24/7 if required. But so far, I have no pain and everything is exactly as described to me in advance of the procedure.I did a LOT of research online and found many of the other national FUE/FUT hair transplant clinics too sales driven and very pushy. Dr Furqan Raja and the team at the private clinic gave me time and space to decide on what was right for me, and importantly they never sold to me but just answered all my questions in a professional, caring and trustworthy manor.This is why I chose them and looking at the early results I am pleased I did!If you speak to other clinics and do your research, make sure you also book a consultation with The Private Clinic. Alex Clair in Manchester was my Patient Coordinator and he went out of his way to help me and gave me lots of free, practical and helpful information up front.Their straightforward, honest and friendly approach was great throughout. Highly recommended Dr Furqan Raja, Alex Clair and the whole team.

    All of a sudden I noticed these veins under my eyes, it was soooo upsetting to see everyday! I didn’t think I could do anything about them. Until I googled and it came up with Harley street and they did removal of under eye veins. I rang the them up and they was so helpful! And from there I was booked in and was so happy to know I can get something done! Everytime I called up nothing was a problem and was always happy to talk to me and answer any questions I had. When it came to the day of the procedure, Marie was so calming and made me feel as relaxed as possible. It was a little uncomfortable but soooo worth it as the results are amazing! Very happy I chose Harley street for the this treatment! Thankyou so much!

    I had treatment with Nurse Marie. She was so kind. The first treatment was rather painful and when I came in for my second round I was very nervous. Marie was so caring, she totally understood and took her time treating. Would definitely recommend.

    Anti – aging treatments with Dr Santa Cruz are a must for me. I have been seeing her for about 3 years now at the Private Clinic of Harley Street. Very knowledgeable and takes before and after photos which have been incredibly helpful when we want to see how much of a difference the treatment has made. I would highly recommend her as her treatments are 100% effective and painless. Also I feel safe with the covid -safe measures they have in place.
