Turning Back Time with a Ground-breaking Facelift Technique

We are excited to introduce a revolutionary facelift technique here in the UK: Vertical Restoration (VR). Devised by top plastic surgeons, this novel method is designed to give your face and neck a youthful uplift.

Ageing is an inevitable that leads to various changes in our faces. The deep fascia, a layer of fibrous tissue beneath the skin, begins to droop over time. This causes noticeable signs of facial ageing, such as hollow cheeks, drooping eyelids, sagging jowls, and loose skin on the neck.

The traditional methods of primarily focus on tightening loose skin by pulling it laterally, which can result in an unnatural ‘stretched’ look.

In contrast, the VR facelift lifts facial and neck tissues vertically, restoring them to their youthful positions. The key is that, rather than merely pulling the skin, the VR technique adjusts the deep fascia layer. This revolutionary approach helps to address signs of ageing across multiple areas of the face, including temples, jawline, mid-face, and neck.

What’s remarkable is that the VR facelift not only looks extremely natural but also offers long-lasting results. The fundamental premise of VR is not about stretching, but restoring the position of deeper facial tissues, making the outcomes more durable and authentic.

Here at Centre for Surgery, London, our highly experienced surgeons have dedicated a significant portion of their surgical careers to this advanced VR technique. Their expertise and commitment to the craft aim to help our patients the aesthetic goals they desire by offering this cutting-edge procedure in the most effective and personalised manner possible.

What Is Vertical Restore Facelift?

The vertical restore facelift, also known as the VR facelift, is an surgical process aimed at addressing the sagging of facial tissues due to age. It effectively rejuvenates the entire face, including the external brow, midface, jawline, and neck, thus providing a more natural and youthful look.

As we age, the persistent pull of causes our facial tissues to move downwards. This results in several noticeable signs of ageing such as:

What makes the VR facelift stand out is its comprehensive approach. Rather than treating each of these ageing concerns individually, the vertical restoration technique addresses all affected areas simultaneously in a single procedure. This holistic approach not only makes the process more efficient but also ensures that the rejuvenation is balanced and harmonious across the whole face.

How Is Vertical Restore Facelift Different From a Traditional Facelift?

The vertical restore facelift (VR facelift) differs from a traditional facelift in its approach to treating facial ageing and the type of results it provides. Here’s how:

The VR facelift offers a gentler, less harsh facial rejuvenation than a conventional facelift, yet delivers similarly striking, if not more impressive, results. In contrast to traditional methods that typically the skin horizontally, the VR lift the neck, jawline, and cheeks vertically, effectively returning them to their original positions. As a result, the effects are more natural-looking and give a less "worked on" appearance, since the procedure puts less stress on the skin and treats all facial layers together.

A crucial distinction between a traditional facelift and a VR facelift lies in their focus areas. The VR facelift targets the deeper layers of the face – specifically, the fascia. The fascia is the deep facial layer consisting of muscles and connective tissues, a critical area often responsible for the signs of ageing.

The VR facelift ???vertically restores’ the deep facial layer to its former, higher position, addressing the root of your facial aesthetic concerns rather than just camouflaging them. By lifting the deep facial layer and the skin together, it effectively addresses sagging from the core, resulting in a rejuvenated, youthful appearance.

Vertical Restore vs Deep Plane Facelift

A vertical restore facelift and a  are two distinct facelift techniques, both using a vertical approach to lift the face rather than pulling the skin sideways. They each have their unique method and purpose, depending on the extent of facial ageing and the desired .

The deep-plane facelift procedure involves lifting the skin and the underlying muscle layers simultaneously as a Single Mole Check unit. This means the skin and the deeper fascia (the tissue beneath the skin that includes muscle and connective tissue) are repositioned together. It’s a great choice for younger or for those with moderate facial ageing signs. It can be paired with a cheek lift or fat grafting for a more complete facial rejuvenation.

In contrast, a vertical restore (VR) facelift separates the skin from the underlying tissue first. This provides the surgeon with flexibility to initially adjust the deeper facial tissues, and then the skin is afterwards. This separation and individual treatment of layers allows the surgeon to rejuvenate the face more extensively. As a result, a VR facelift can effectively tackle more significant changes in the face the need for procedures.

Benefits of a Vertical Restore facelift

The vertical restore facelift, also known as a VR facelift, offers several significant benefits that set it apart from a traditional facelift. These include:

Unlike a traditional facelift, a VR facelift works on the deeper layers of facial tissue where ageing primarily occurs.

The VR is designed to address various signs of ageing across the entire face simultaneously, meaning that all the parts of your face are rejuvenated together in one procedure.

This technique can make substantial improvements to pronounced jowls, deep lines, hollow cheeks, and substantial facial skin excess.

A VR facelift can also create a more youthful, heart-shaped appearance to the cheeks, emphasising the cheekbones the need for implants.

Unlike traditional facelifts, which can sometimes result in an ‘pulled’ look, the VR facelift gives a more result.

The VR facelift includes treatment for the neck, enhancing the contour and reducing sagging, for a more youthful neck and jawline.

By treating the entire face, the VR facelift ensures that all your facial features remain balanced and harmonious.

The results of a VR facelift are long-lasting and can maintain your rejuvenated appearance for years.

Since it treats the whole face, you won’t require additional procedures like fat transfers, cheek lifts, or neck lifts.

Am I suitable for a Vertical Restore Facelift?

Does a Vertical Restore Facelift produce natural-looking results?

The vertical restore facelift (VR facelift) achieves a more natural look by preserving your face’s original shape and simply reinstating your facial skin and tissue to their youthful positions.

Facial skin laxity often results from the sagging of a deeper facial layer, the fascia. The fascia holds many of your facial muscles together and extends from your temples down to your neck. It connects various areas of your face, including your cheeks, the corners of your mouth, and your neck. Over time, as you age, the fascia stretches and elongates, making your face appear longer.

The beauty of the vertical restore technique lies in its ability to counteract this ageing effect. It aims to shorten the face and reposition the skin and facial features to their original locations, back before they became stretched and elongated. Moreover, a VR facelift includes treatment for the neck as well, ensuring a balanced and harmonious look across the entire face and neck.

Therefore, after a VR facelift, you won’t look like a different person. Instead, you’ll look like a more youthful, vibrant version of your true self, which is what gives this technique its natural appeal.

What areas of the face can a VR facelift target?

The vertical restore facelift, or VR facelift, is a comprehensive procedure that rejuvenates several areas of the face in a single operation, giving your entire face a fresher, younger appearance. Here’s a rundown of the facial regions that a VR facelift addresses:

FAQs about Vertical Restore Facelift

During a vertical restore facelift, incisions are made high up in your hairline and then extend behind your ear, falling into the deep crease there. As a result, any resultant scars from the procedure are well concealed within your natural hairline and behind your ear. Frequently, hair will regrow along the incision line, further camouflaging any facelift scars. As such, even when you aren’t wearing any makeup or if you choose to wear your hair up in a ponytail, the scars from your facelift shouldn’t be noticeable.

A vertical restore targets the deep facial fascia, which tends to descend with age, leading to visible signs of ageing. Traditional facelifts address these signs by stretching the facial skin backwards, whereas a VR facelift lifts the deeper fascia, addressing the heart of your ageing concerns. This in a more youthful that can typically last 10 to 15 years.

A mini vertical lift is a less invasive version of the vertical restore facelift that primarily focuses on the lower portion of your face. It’s used to treat moderate facial skin sagging, particularly in younger patients. The process involves the surgeon making smaller incisions to adjust the deeper fascia layer, effectively addressing milder signs of ageing on the face and neck.
