How the One Stitch Lift Works
This treatment is carried out under local anaesthetic in our minor operating theatre and takes around 45 minutes. Patients can return home the same day.
A small incision is made discreetly in the hairline near the sideburn area. This leaves only a fine scar, often hidden within the hair, and carries a very low risk of hair loss in that area. Dissolving sutures are used, so in most cases there is no need for suture removal.
Most patients are able to return to light activities within 24 hours.
Who is the One Stitch Lift Suitable For?
The One Stitch Lift is a great option if you:
Are looking for a subtle, natural lift rather than a dramatic change
Have good skin quality and elasticity
Are a non-smoker (as smoking can impact healing and results)
Are unable to have a facelift under general anaesthetic due to medical reasons
Have previously had a facelift and are now looking for a gentle refresh
Combining with Other Treatments
The One Stitch Lift can be complemented with other rejuvenating treatments such as dermal fillers, Botox, or energy-based devices. Your doctor will discuss the safest and most effective options for your individual needs.
Results & Maintenance
The results are a subtle, refreshed, and more youthful appearance. To get the best and longest-lasting outcome, we recommend a tailored facial rejuvenation and maintenance programme. Lifestyle choices such as avoiding smoking and protecting skin from sun exposure will also help preserve your results.
If needed, tissues can be retightened in the future under local anaesthetic.
