Face, eyelids and nose
Eyelids, nose, ears and the lower face and neck. The aim is always to look like yourself on a rested day, and our surgeons will often suggest less than you came in for.

Our approach
Faces carry heritage and family resemblance. Our face surgeon, Dr Oghenero Efe-Akpovi, plans with hand drawings over a printed photo you keep, never with borrowed pictures of other people.
Melanin-rich skin can scar more visibly and change colour after surgery, so incisions are placed in natural creases and inside the nose wherever possible, and you are given a scar care plan from day one.
Every result is personal and no outcome is promised. Surgery carries real risks, which your surgeon explains in person before you decide anything.
Procedures in this area
Fees include the surgeon, anaesthetist, theatre, the stated stay, garments and a year of follow-up. Your written estimate after consultation is the one that counts.
Removes a little loose skin above the eye so the lid looks less heavy, with the scar hidden in the natural crease.
Softens puffiness under the eye by repositioning fat, with care taken over deeper skin that can mark easily.
Refines the shape of the nose while respecting your features and heritage, planned with drawn sketches rather than borrowed photos.
Lifts the deeper layers of the lower face and neck for a rested look, never a pulled one.
Sets prominent ears closer to the head, for adults and for children over seven with parental consent.
Your consultation
Recovery
Everyone heals differently. Your surgeon gives you a written version for your own plan.
Swelling and bruising peak. Cold compresses, head raised, rest.
Stitches or splint removed at the clinic.
Most people return to desk work and go out with light make-up.
Swelling mostly settled, though the nose can take a year.
Final review with your surgeon.
Risks, in plain words
Every operation carries risk. These are the main ones for this area. Your surgeon explains how likely each is for you.
We illustrate plans with drawings like these and with your own measurements. We never show other people’s bodies to sell a procedure.
Questions
No, and we will not try. We refine your own features in proportion to your face.
Usually after four weeks. Until then the coordinators can help with taped frames or contact lenses.
Occasionally, when heavy lids block eyesight and a field test shows it. We can arrange the test.
After day surgery, the next day. After a face lift, we suggest five nights near Effurun.
