Jakayla USA

Had a deep plane facelift and lower eyelid procedure at AKM Clinic 7 months ago. The results are fantastic - very subtle and natural. I didn’t expect the entire experience to be so comfortable. Hande managed everything and kept in contact even after I returned to USA. I’m beyond pleased with the outcome and the care I received. Would do it again in a heartbeat!

Our patients routinely save up to 70% compared to typical Harley Street fees, whilst receiving identical or superior surgical excellence and luxury amenities.

What are the primary advantages of an Awake Facelift?

Performed under local anaesthesia, it entirely bypasses the risks associated with general anaesthesia, minimises post-operative swelling, and facilitates a significantly swifter recovery.

What is the typical facelift recovery timeline before my return flight?

Can I view facelift before and after portfolio images?

Absolutely. During your consultation, we provide an extensive portfolio of authentic transformations to help you visualise your potential results with absolute discretion.

Will I have visible scarring following my facelift?

We utilise highly advanced incision placement techniques, meticulously concealing any scarring within natural skin folds or the hairline to ensure a virtually imperceptible finish.

Why is a Deep Plane Facelift considered superior to a SMAS Facelift?

While both deliver excellent outcomes, a Deep Plane lift is widely regarded as superior, providing exceptionally natural and enduring results by delicately repositioning the deeper facial structures.

What does your bespoke international healthcare package encompass?

Our bespoke packages encompass the surgeon’s fee, hospital costs, luxury 5-star accommodation, private chauffeur-driven transfers, and all necessary post-operative analgesia.

How long-lasting are the results of a consultant-led facelift?
