The face is probably the most cosmetically sensitive area of the body. The effects of aging show most quickly here, often accelerated by smoking and sun exposure. Many techniques are available to reduce the signs of aging. These techniques can alter the appearance of the face, neck and the eyes.
Face lift procedures are designed to rejuvenate the face by a combination of reducing wrinkles and tightening facial structures to restore a more youthful appearance. Techniques vary depending on individual facial characteristics. All techniques involve scar placement in discreet areas. Mr Morley has a particular interest in minimal access facelift techniques, including the MACS lift (Minimal Access Cranial Suspension), Endotine Ribbon neck lift and endoscopic face lift. He acts as a tutor in minimal access facial surgery teaching these techniques to other aesthetic surgeons. Fat transfer techniques can also be utilised to augment thinning tissues. A successful result will lead to a more youthful appearance of the face and neck.
Surgery on the upper or lower eyelids can be successful at reducing wrinkled skin and puffiness. Standard techniques aim to remove skin, muscle or fat depending on the precise requirements of each patient. This can reduce the impression of tiredness associated with excess eyelid tissue and bags under the eyes. Techniques offered can address excess skin and fat in both upper and lower eyelids and can be combined with either conventional facelift or minimal access mid-face lifts. Removal of eye bags using a 'no scar' technique can also be offered to suitable patients.
Brow lift techniques can lift the brow, leading to wrinkle removal and uplift of the eyebrow position. Techniques can involve endoscopic, minimal access or open surgery and this procedure is now commonplace in facial rejuvenation surgery. Mr Morley has particular experience in minimal access techniques utilising the most up to date fixation techniques. Brow lift procedures are often combined with eyelid surgery, depending on the precise effect desired. Benefits of this surgery include facial rejuvenation and a reduction in the look of severity which can be associated with a heavy or drooping brow.
