Choosing a facelift surgeon and undergoing facial rejuvenation surgery
Choosing to undergo facial rejuvenation surgery means picking a facelift surgeon that you feel can offer you the best service. It is important to pick a plastic surgeon who you feel has the right skills and experience to provide you with the best results possible.

Things to consider when choosing a facelift surgeon
1. Qualifications and experience – are they a member of a safety organisation like BAAPS or BAPRAS?
2. Your surgeon should be polite, helpful and understanding.
3. Does the surgeon appreciate your goals?
4. Ask to see previous cases if you feel this would help you.
5. Do not commit to undergoing facelift surgery or any other form of facial rejuvenation surgery unless you feel completely comfortable with the surgeon during consultation.
6. You should be given time to consider whether facelift surgery is indeed to the right option for you, and so a second consultation should be booked a week or so later if you wish to move forward.
