Many UK patients see a \u00a33,650 SMAS facelift<\/a> and assume the deep-layer work must be cut back to hit the price. It isn’t. The saving is economic \u2014 a favourable exchange rate, lower overheads and bundled logistics \u2014 with the full SMAS lift led by a consultant in a JCI-accredited hospital using CE-marked materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The comparison is rarely like-for-like, either. A UK quote usually lists the surgeon’s fee, then adds the anaesthetist, theatre and follow-ups on top, which is how a \u00a39,000 headline reaches well past \u00a312,000. Our price folds all of it into one all-inclusive figure, fixed before you travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SMAS facelift earns its place as the modern standard because it lifts the deep muscle layer rather than dragging the skin tight \u2014 which is exactly why it looks natural and holds for around a decade. That depends entirely on the surgeon’s judgement near the facial nerves, so your lift is planned and performed by a consultant, in keeping with our “rejuvenation, not alteration” approach. And because swelling settles over months, our aftercare follows you home to the UK rather than ending at the airport.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"treatment_name":"SMAS Facelift","_description":"

At AKM Clinic a SMAS facelift starts at \u00a33,650 all-inclusive, with the technique confirmed at consultation. Privately in the UK it typically runs \u00a39,000\u2013\u00a315,000, more on Harley Street.<\/p>\n","question_2":"What is the SMAS, and why does this lift last longer?","answer_2":"

The SMAS is the deep layer of muscle and connective tissue beneath the skin. Lifting it \u2014 rather than just the skin \u2014 is what gives a natural result that holds for around a decade.<\/p>\n","question_3":"What's the difference between SMAS plication and a SMASectomy?","answer_3":"

Plication folds and stitches the layer to lift it; a SMASectomy removes a strip for a slightly tighter result. Your surgeon chooses based on your anatomy.<\/p>\n","question_4":"Is a SMAS facelift better than a deep plane facelift?","answer_4":"

Both lift deep tissue. A deep plane lift releases the ligaments for more midface movement and costs more; the SMAS lift is the proven standard that suits most patients well.<\/p>\n","question_5":"How long is recovery from a SMAS facelift?","answer_5":"

Most people return to everyday activities in around two to three weeks, with swelling settling over the following months.<\/p>\n","question_6":"","answer_6":"","question_7":"","answer_7":"","extra_content_1_header":"","extra_content_1":"","extra_content_2_header":"","extra_content_2":""},"cost-categories":[],"class_list":["post-26082","costs","type-costs","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/akmclinic.com\/en-gb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/costs\/26082","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/akmclinic.com\/en-gb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/costs"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/akmclinic.com\/en-gb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/costs"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/akmclinic.com\/en-gb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26082"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"cost-categories","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/akmclinic.com\/en-gb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cost-categories?post=26082"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
