Mr Gary Ross exclusively invited for expert comment on a four page feature in Reveal Magazine September 2018, on how various celebrities have changed their faces over the years.
The cosmetic surgery landscape has changed vastly in the last 10 years. Most notably cosmetic surgery for men has seen a year on year rise.
It’s often thought that women are the main driving force in cosmetic procedures, however, in the UK we see more and more men seeking cosmetic treatment.
Popular cosmetic surgery for men may include fat transfer, male breast reduction, and rhinoplasty procedures.
This is down to many factors. Social media and the way male celebrities are viewed within the media cannot be underestimated.
With TV shows like Love Island and The Only Way is Essex also proving popular with young men, it’s no longer just about anti ageing.
Rather than male patients all being over 50 like in times gone by many men are now seeking cosmetic procedures at a young age.
This depends on the age of the men. Younger men are seeking body sculpting and facial contouring procedures, including nose jobs.
Middle-aged men who may be unhappy with their ‘dad bod’ are opting for male breast reduction surgery. For the same reason, fat removal procedures are proving popular.
For the older men visiting the clinic, we hear requests for facial rejuvenation surgery. This can include neck lift surgery, facelift surgery or blepharoplasty procedures. These include upper or lower eyelid reduction; in some cases, it’s both.
This is entirely down to the patient. Some men find the surgery helps as an anti ageing solution, so will likely only seek it later in life.
For young men, it may be that they’re unhappy with their body in their twenties. Every patient’s journey is different.
If you’re considering facial rejuvenation surgery or body contouring surgery it’s important to seek the advice of an expert. There is a helpful article here if you need some help choosing a cosmetic surgeon.
Picking a plastic surgeon who understands these procedures mentioned above inside out is the best option. Mr Ross is a consultant with many years of experience in offering cosmetic surgery for men.
We welcome you to come and meet the team. Book a consultation with Mr Ross if you wish to discuss your aesthetic concerns.

For many reasons, more and more patients have chosen to undergo cosmetic surgery abroad. While the lower costs may make this seem like a good idea, there are risks associated with leaving the UK for procedures.
Picking plastic surgery UK instead of overseas means you’ll be getting a service that’s been regulated. Your surgeon will be part of a health organisation and your hospital will be able to deal with any issues as they arise.
This week a young English mother died at a cosmetic clinic in Turkey after complications associated with buttock augmentation surgery. While issues can occur in any country, in the UK the hospitals can be more equipped to help.
In this week’s blog, we look at the reasons you should choose to undergo cosmetic procedures such as facelift surgery, fat transfer or rhinoplasty here in the UK.
The main reason a patient chooses cosmetic surgery abroad is likely to be the cost. In countries such as Turkey, the price of procedures can be as little as half of that as plastic surgery UK.
Unfortunately, you often get what you pay for. The reasons costs are higher in the UK is because training and surgeon standards are often higher.
Cost should not be the sole factor in choosing your surgeon or hospital for cosmetic surgery. If you would like a quote for a procedure with Mr Ross please email the clinic.
In the UK surgeons are trained to incredibly high standards. All reputable surgeons are members of safety organisations.
As well as this, abroad you may not even meet your surgeon prior to the procedure taking place, meaning you don’t get to form a relationship.
A fancy website may make your hospital look more like a spa retreat, but the truth is that cosmetic procedures are serious operations. You need to be in a regulated hospital facility.
In the UK we have excellent private hospital facilities and the staff that work in them understand how to help patients. The care you receive before and after treatment is important.
In keeping with the last point, it’s helpful to speak the language. A procedure in Europe may save you £1000 but how much do you value communication.
Some clinics abroad may not speak English, with makes communicating any wants or concerns tricky.
Sometimes things go wrong. Even in the best hospitals with the best surgeons, things can go differently than expected. In the event that issues arise it’s comforting to know you can trace your surgeon or hospital to report any problems.
If you have cosmetic surgery abroad you might not be able to communicate with the surgical team. We hear many stories about botched surgeries that the clinics abroad then won’t fix – worse still, any communication regarding the matter is ignored.
Being close to home means if something doesn’t go to plan you not only have access to premium health care you also have your family and friends.
You will need someone to drive you home once you’re released from the hospital in the UK, but in Europe, you may have to fly home alone. This can be a daunting experience.

In this video, we discuss what causes the ageing process and the impacts of ageing. When ageing occurs the biggest effect it has on the skin is in the facial area. Many patients find that they wish to rejuvenate their skin through a face rejuvenation procedure because they are beginning to develop ageing facial skin. As the skin changes with age, it goes through several stages that can be visible on the facial area. The video provides visual aids that go into further detail about the impacts of ageing on the face and the signs that you can look for on an ageing face.
As well as the skin, the video also explains how the impacts of ageing can occur in the facial layers that are deeper than the skin surface. As a result, it has an impact on the neck, causing excess skin to occur from the ligament and cartilage changes that have occurred from ageing. There is also further detail provided about the impacts it has on the skull as ageing of the skin in the internal structures can change the shape and size of the skull. During a facial rejuvenation procedure, it’s important that muscle and nerve damage doesn’t occur as it can have a detrimental effect on patients.

An increasingly popular form of fat grafting is rapidly becoming a go-to anti-ageing procedure for patients.
Autologous fat transfer can be completed as a stand-alone procedure or as part of a wider treatment plan. They can be used to provide facial volume and rejuvenate the face.
Unlike non-surgical facial rejuvenation treatments like dermal fillers, the results of fat grafting using autologous fat transfer are long-lasting.
Many patients choose this alternative to facial filler because the results are incredibly natural looking. It is also ideal for patients that wish to try an alternative to dermal fillers and volumising injections.
This is a cosmetic procedure designed to move fat from one area to another to provide volume. In the case of facial rejuvenation, fat is taken from the body and replaced in an area of the face.
Areas of the face that can be rejuvenated using autologous fat transfer include the cheeks, lower face and neck.
Because fat grafting uses a natural product there is less chance of reaction and complications.
Fat is taken from an area of the body and replaced to an area of the face that requires volume or smoothing. It is common to take fat from the abdomen or hips.
This form of aesthetic treatment takes around an hour, and no overnight stay is required.
To ascertain suitability you’ll need to book a consultation to meet with Mr Ross.
They most certainly can be and most patients are happy with the results of their fat transfer treatments.
Results can last for a few years and look perfectly natural. Treatment may need to be completed again in the future to maintain the results.
Some patients also choose to combine fat transfer with surgical facial rejuvenation procedure like facelift surgery.
Fat grafting is only available from a medical professional trained to offer autologous fat transfer. Mr Ross has advanced training in this type of anti ageing procedure and uses the Body-jet device.
All cosmetic procedures carry some risk. Patients may experience some bruising or swelling. Results will not be seen in full for a few weeks, which you should keep in mind after undergoing this type of treatment.
Mr Gary Ross offers a selection of facial rejuvenation procedures. You can read more about Body-jet and this form of anti ageing treatment on the autologous fat transfer treatment page.
Call or email the clinic if you wish to book a consultation and discover more fat transfer procedures.
Neck lift surgery falls under the facial rejuvenation procedure umbrella. It’s a popular and common form of cosmetic surgery designed to make the neck look more youthful.
Both men and women are suitable for this type of anti ageing surgery. Neck lift surgery patients are usually over 40.
The reasons for undergoing neck lift surgery may vary, but there are six undeniable benefits to choosing it.
Below you will find some of the top benefits for picking a neck lift as part of your facial rejuvenation makeover. If you would like more information about neck lifting or anti ageing surgery please email the clinic.
Like many facial rejuvenation procedures such as a facelift, neck lift surgery reduces excess skin. During surgery, sagging skin is removed to enable muscles below to be tightened. This collectively gives a smoother, more toned appearance to the neck and lower face.
Unlike dermal fillers which soften fine lines, neck lift surgery can minimise the appearance of deep wrinkles around the lower face and neck. This helps the patient appear more youthful and is a successful form of anti ageing.
Once the excess skin has been removed the muscles below are tightened. This ensures a smoother result. After the muscles have been tightened the lower face and neck should appear more youthful. While this procedure doesn’t stop the ageing process, it does keep the neck looking younger for longer.
A common complaint regarding the aesthetic of the neck is platysmal bands. This is especially common in older female patients. Platysmal bands are the two strips of muscles that start at the base of your neck. They run up the front left and right sides of the neck. Neck lift surgery can help to reduce the appearance of these bands, leaving the neck looking smoother.
Not only can neck lift surgery reduce sagging skin and smooth jowls, it is also a contouring tool. Contouring the chin and jawline, neck lift surgery is a facial rejuvenation procedure that sculpts the lower face. This provides definition and a more youthful lower face. This can take years off a person’s appearance.
One of the main benefits that patients enjoy is the long-lasting results. A neck lift can help keep further ageing at bay, although it cannot stop ageing altogether.
Generally speaking, someone who has had a neck lift will look more youthful than someone of the same age that hasn’t.
The results of neck lift surgery and facial rejuvenation surgery offer long-lasting results, often up to 10 years.
If you would like more information about treating the neck with surgery or facial rejuvenation procedures for the lower face, please contact the clinic.
