If you are looking for a world-class facial surgeon in London, contact the Elena Prousskaia Clinic about a facelift.
Many of Elena’s patients are unhappy with the way that the passage of time has affected their facial appearance. Ageing happens to all of us eventually, but Elena understands that looking fresh and youthful is essential for your self-esteem.
The Elena Prousskaia Clinic offers safe and effective facelift surgery to rejuvenate your features.
Elena has had a successful career as a cosmetic surgeon for over two decades.
She was a consultant plastic surgeon in the NHS for many years and won international recognition for her pioneering work in microsurgery and breast reconstruction surgery.
Elena now has several private clinics in the UK, with a London clinic in the Welbeck Hospital near Harley Street.
Elena is renowned for her surgical skill but also for the artistry of her work and the stunning but natural results that she creates.
You can see some testimonials from delighted patients here.
Young skin is firm and smooth. This fresh look is created by high levels of collagen and elastin in the lower levels of the skin. These vital substances make the skin plump and elastic so that it can spring back into place.
As you age, your collagen and elastin production slows, and vital stores are lost.
You may notice your skin becoming slacker and your facial features losing definition. Gravity takes its toll, and your skin begins a downward trajectory with lines around the eyes, mouth and nose deepening.
Skincare can only do so much, but the surgical facelift can dramatically improve the way you look – and feel.
In Elena’s skilled hands, a facelift will transform your face, making its contours more defined and your skin look firmer.
Elena’s work will enhance your natural beauty without making your skin look taut or overdone.
During a facelift, Elena makes an incision and detaches the facial skin from the deeper structures, pulling it gently up and backward, trimming the excess skin.
During the procedure, Elena may use various techniques to give you the desired result.
For example, she may take the opportunity to redefine your facial contours and restore fullness to your features using fat transfer.
She could use liposuction to remove fat deposits from under your chin.
If you have unsightly neckbands, Elena can remove them by tightening the muscles under the skin of your neck.
Every facelift is a bespoke procedure to suit your particular requirements.
Like all surgeries, your facelift will carry a risk of bruising and numbness which can last up to 14 days.
Once the bruising and residual swelling has disappeared, you will be delighted with your face’s smooth and lifted appearance.
Your surgical scars will be placed so discreetly that it will be difficult to find them.
Ms Prousskaia will be able to advise you about when is the right time for you to have surgery.
If she feels you are not yet a good candidate for a surgical facelift, she may recommend the clinic’s four-step rejuvenating programme, which uses Botox, Profhilo and fillers.
The cost of a facelift depends on which techniques Elena decides to use to achieve the best results for you.
A typical cost would be around £15 950 plus the cost of your initial consultation, which costs between £200 and £250.
The London clinic is in the London Welbeck Hospital, which has been providing outstanding healthcare for decades.
The Welbeck is close to Harley Street, the world-famous centre of medical excellence since the nineteenth century. Mayfair and Regent’s Park are within walking distance.
This area of West London offers plenty of high-quality accommodation for clients who travel to consult Elena.

Our Amazing Results

Elena lifts the skin off the deeper facial structures, gently pulls the skin in an upward and posterior direction, removes the excess skin and perform tightening or remodelling of the deeper tissues of the face (SMAS lift). Fat transfer is often performed to improve areas of missing volume which is crucial for juvenile looking face. A small incision, or cut, may be made under the chin to tighten the skin and deeper tissue of the neck. The underlying muscle called platysma may be tightened to remove unfavourable looking neck bands (platismoplasty procedure). Chin liposuction is often performed to remove fat excess under the chin.
It is common to experience swelling, bruising, and some areas of numbness after your procedure. Most of the bruising after a facelift takes 10-14 days to resolve. Swelling will steadily improve over about two weeks, and some areas will recover much quicker than others. Certain areas may hold onto swelling longer.
A mini facelift reduces minor sagging on the lower face and neck. It is a minimal skin tightening procedure which offers shorter-lived results than a traditional facelift.
This will depend on your life style – drinking, smoking and sun damage will accelerate the aging process for you and the lasting effects of your surgery. In healthy individuals with good diet balance and healthy lifestyle the results tend to last longer.
If you present early signs of ageing you may be willing to start with our personalized 4 steps non-surgical rejuvenation program with combination of Botox, Profhilo and fillers before moving to surgical treatments. Please contact us for more information.
A skilled facelift surgeon can rejuvenate your face and neck, replacing the signs of ageing with taut skin, a youthful complexion, and the restoration of natural angularity. In particular, Elena’s approach to these procedures is to emphasis a completely natural look above all, avoiding any impression that you’ve been operated on or that the resulting skin has an overly taut appearance. Excess skin will be removed and underlying tissues, such as muscles and fascia, will be tightened and reshaped. The incisions will be discretely positioned and the resulting scars well hidden. Often done as part of a facelift procedure, necklift surgery aims to remedy loose skin around the neck. Some people are unhappy with what are called neck bands: an age-related condition that begins to appear when the platysma muscle becomes thick and cord-like, resulting in the appearance of bands across the front of the neck. Necklift surgery can make a huge difference to these issues, using a combination of liposuction, suspension stitches and incision to trim excess neck skin.
The process of lifting up the eyebrows, sometimes to help smooth out the horizontal expression lines that come with age, is known as an eyebrow lift. Again this procedure is often done as part of an overall rejuvenation package.
