A large part of my practice involves making people's faces more attractive. I enjoy the challenge of working with a patient who is positive thinking and forward looking, who has come to the realisation that their face does not reflect the way they want to appear and has decided to do something about it.

People seeking glamorisation surgery usually have a good aesthetic eye and an appreciation of detail, and for this reason they usually seek facial correction to satisfy themselves and not impress someone else. Often they sense that something is not quite right about their faces, but are unable to pinpoint exactly what is required. When I examine the regions of their face, and explain the options to them, the recommendations are frequently a revelation to them, as the type of correction required suddenly seems so obvious.

These people usually derive great satisfaction from their surgery as they find their facial appearance then matches their positive self-image. This matching of their inner and outer selves, and the vindication of their decision to seek surgery, also provides a quiet boost to their self-esteem.

There are many different types of attractive face and every face has the basis for being attractive. The key to beauty depends less on specific features, such as the nose or eyes, than on the relationship between the parts of the face. The correct proportions create a harmonious balance between the parts of the face, which makes it appear attractive to our eye.

Nature itself provides the source of our appreciation, as the same pleasing proportions and ratios occur across all living things which we find beautiful. As human beings, our natural instinct is to find those things which accord with nature's proportions to be harmonious and pleasing. Often, this means that a small correction of only one part of the face changes the overall proportion and makes a plain face attractive.

Altering the prominence of the contours of the face is increasingly the common link between the main facial glamorisation procedures. Good bone structure is the basis of an attractive face and the key to pleasing proportion between the features. Faces which can benefit from glamorisation usually have either an area of under-developed bone structure, or sagging soft tissue which is concealing the bone structure.

The most common procedures I perform, alone or in combination and depending upon the age of the patient, are:

Upper eyelid contouring (blepharoplasty)
Implants - cheek bone enhancement
- enhancement of jawline definition or prominence
Temporal Lift
Facelift
Rhinoplasty and Secondary Rhinoplasty
Liposuction of areas of the face
