There are several reasons people might choose to have breast uplift surgery. You may be suitable for a mastopexy if you are experiencing any of the following:
Most breast uplift procedures are performed without an implant. The uplift itself can create a fuller and more youthful breast. However, if you are looking for a larger bust, an implant might be right for you. Your surgeon will discuss this with you during your consultation.
Studies have shown that breast uplifts do not usually interfere with breastfeeding unless you require a free nipple graft. If you are concerned about breastfeeding post-procedure, we recommend you speak to your surgeon.
In your initial consultation, you will have time to discuss your concerns, discover your options and consider which approach will be most suitable for you.
It is always a good idea to have a list of questions you may want to ask in advance. But we understand that there’s often much to discuss.

All operations involve some risk, but it’s relatively low in breast uplift surgery. Possible complications include slow healing of the T-junction, infection, bleeding, scarring, reduced sensation around the nipples, loss of nipple-areola complex, seroma and venous thromboembolism (VTE). Your surgeon will explain the risks and complications associated with your operation in more detail during the consultation.
At The Levant Clinic, our surgeons are accredited by the GMC. They have been selected for their high skills, years of cosmetic surgery experience and professional plastic surgery qualification – FRCS (Plast). We take the utmost care to ensure any risks are minimised.

We are proud to offer Motiva, Mentor and Nagor breast implants. Your expert plastic surgeon will discuss the different breast implant options and help you achieve the look and feel that you want, while placing the highest importance on safety and patient care.
You will have ample time to discuss your concerns, discover your options and consider which approach will be most suitable for you.
It is always a good idea to think of questions in advance. But we understand there’s often much to discuss, so if you forget to ask a question in the consultation, contact our dedicated team. They can go back to your surgeon and get the answer for you. Questions you may want to consider are:
Plastic surgeons in the UK commonly use silicone implants – they are the most popular because they are safe, made to last and look and feel natural.
The alternative is saline implants, which contain sterile saltwater, but they are firmer than silicone versions, more perceptible, and deflate fast should the shell break.
You may already know your breasts’ future cup size, and our experienced surgeons can recommend the implant size that helps you achieve that dream. Every patient is different – breast tissue, body type and skin availability can make the same-sized implant look different.
Your surgeon will take your ideas into account and measure you before suggesting a breast implant size measured in cubic centimetres (CC).
Although breast implants come in many shapes, most patients in the UK find that round breast implants are the best choice for overall volume.
However, your surgeon may suggest an anatomical or teardrop-shaped implant if you have a suitable body shape.
There are four main breast implant profiles – low, medium, high, and extra high.
The breast implant profile determines how much the breast projects forward from the chest wall. To assess the right profile for you, your surgeon will measure your chest and ensure the implant isn’t wider than the breast.
The implant can be placed in either an over (subglandular) or under (submuscular or dual plane) position. You can achieve a significantly different look with each plane depending on the desired goal.
In the subglandular option, the breast implant goes over the chest or pectoral muscles and is the one most surgeons prefer because of faster recovery and it’s more straightforward. A dual plane or submuscular implant is when it is placed below the muscle.
Some surgeons use a Keller Funnel device to insert the breast implant into the chest pocket during breast augmentation. It works with all types of breast implants.
Kevin Keller, a US surgeon, invented the device in 2009 to prevent the implant from touching the skin and keep it sterile – which is why it’s often called the ‘no touch’ or ‘minimal touch’ technique. The funnel is FDA (Federal Drug Administration) approved in the US and is a brand of Allergan, which is now an AbbVie company.
Your surgeon takes your implant straight from its packaging, loads it into a Keller Funnel®️2 gently propels it through the incision to the chest pocket. Using a funnel means smaller incisions, decreased fear of infection, and reduced damage to surrounding tissue. The main benefit is that patients feel more comfortable afterwards.
Ask about the Keller Funnel technique when you book a breast augmentation with us.
All operations involve risk, but the risk is relatively low in our expert surgeons’ hands. Possible complications include infection, bleeding, scarring, reduced sensation around the nipples, seroma (fluid collection), asymmetry, capsular contracture, rupture, rippling, anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (ALCL) and venous thromboembolism.
Your surgeon will explain any risks and complications associated with your operation in more detail during the consultation.

There are several reasons people may choose to have a facelift, including:

By tightening the skin, smoothing lines and wrinkles, and tackling jowls, a facelift gives you a rejuvenated and fresher appearance. We aim to provide you with a more youthful, natural look, and on average, our clients say they feel more confident and look 10 years younger.
The results of facelifts typically last 5 to 10 years, but every patient is different. You can do things to help maintain the facelift’s effects, including a healthy lifestyle and a good skincare routine. As the ageing process continues, you may choose to keep your youthful appearance with aesthetic and cosmetic treatments.
Facelifts are relatively low risk when being carried out by a qualified plastic surgeon, but there are possible complications. These include bleeding beneath the skin (haematoma), numbness, infection, seroma (fluid collection), bruising, delayed healing, facial weakness and venous thromboembolism. Your surgeon will explain the risks and complications associated with your operation in more detail during the consultation.

Many people choose lip lift surgery because:
Contact us today – book a consultation to discuss your options.
Your appearance is younger with a lip lift. The procedure removes and tightens your skin, reduces creases and removes fold lines, giving you a plumper, fresher, curvy lip line to boost your self-esteem.
You can have lip filler after surgery, but it’s best to wait for 2 weeks afterwards to allow for healing. However, in all probability, you won’t need fillers after a lip lift.
A lip lift will be immediate and last a long time (typically 8-10 years) but not forever. It cannot stop your ageing and, in many years, it will look as it did before.
However, every patient is different. With a healthy lifestyle, an excellent skincare routine and possibly other aesthetic, cosmetic and rejuvenating treatments, the lip lift’s effects will last longer.
In your initial consultation, you will have time to discuss your concerns, find your options and consider which approach is most suitable.

Liposuction is not a ‘weight loss’ procedure – results are purely cosmetic. So, if you are overweight and looking for a quick fix weight-loss solution, then liposuction may not be the right procedure for you.

Everyone is different, so the amount extracted varies per patient. However, six litres are the most fat we can remove in one procedure.
Before PAL’s introduction in 1998, surgeons had to physically move cannulas to and fro to suction out body fat. It was tiring for the surgeon and often left some fat in place.
Using PAL’s fast-vibrating cannulas instead of a traditional energy-based cannula reduces the effort it takes to suck out the fat, and it doesn’t use heat. As a result, PAL makes the process faster, more efficient and gentler for the patient, and more fat can be removed.
PAL also allows surgeons to sculpt body areas like the chest and stomach, which is particularly beneficial for men who want better contours.
These latest devices use energy-based lipolysis or fat-melting instead of suction to remove fat deposits and reduce the possibility of bruising caused by other methods.
However, our surgeons were unimpressed by the trials, which found that such devices can lead to skin burns, hardening (fat necrosis), unevenness and patient disappointment with the outcome compared to PAL.
There is no substantial proof that bruising is reduced, either. However, our highly skilled surgeons always minimise bruises, lessen pain and encourage healing.
When comparing energy-based devices to PAL, our surgeons have found no difference in bruising, swelling, post-procedure pain or recovery times.
Recovery time can vary between patients but is mostly dependant on the amount of fat extracted. Liposuction is minimally invasive, but the more fat removed, the longer the recovery time is likely to be.
No, we have found that the operation time with the new energy-based liposuction techniques can be longer.
A shorter general anaesthetic, achieved with PAL, is best to improve patient recovery and reduce the risks and complications that may happen with any surgical procedure.
Liposuction is relatively low risk, but there are possible complications.
Possible complications include bleeding beneath the skin (haematoma), numbness, infection, seroma (fluid collection) and venous thromboembolism (VTE). Your surgeon will explain the risks and complications of your operation in more detail during the consultation.
At The Levant Clinic, all our surgeons are accredited by the General Medical Council (GMC) and hold the FCRS (Plast) qualification. We take every care to ensure any complications are minimised.
Some surgeons believe that energy-based liposuction devices dissipate heat to tighten skin, but nothing has shown this to be the case. In our surgeons’ views, nothing compares to a skilful PAL.

There are possible complications with mummy makeover surgery.

Contact us today – book a consultation to discuss your options.
A neck lift creates a youthful, refreshed appearance that boosts your confidence and self-esteem because it removes and tightens your skin and reduces creases and banding to give you a more defined neckline and profile.
Although a neck lift cannot halt the ageing process, you will see an immediate effect. It will typically last 5-10 years, but every patient is different.
However, self-help like a daily skincare routine and healthy eating can help maintain your new neck lift’s effects. Various aesthetic, rejuvenating and cosmetic treatments can also help.
In your first consultation, we learn about your goals and answer questions. We’ll discuss your concerns, find out your options and consider which approach to a neck lift will be most suitable for you.

People may choose to have eyelid or eye bag surgery for several reasons. You may be suitable for this procedure if:
Contact us today to discuss your options.
While ageing is the most common cause of eyelid droop and the onset of eye bags; there are other lifestyle factors which can accelerate this natural process:
A blepharoplasty will rejuvenate your appearance, making you look fresher and younger. On average, clients feel more confident and look 5 to 10 years younger. This is because our eyes tend to be the first part of our face that starts to give away the tell-tale signs of ageing. So, eyelid surgery can transform and rejuvenate the appearance of your face.
If you have only wrinkles and fine lines around your eyes, you may be more suited to non-surgical wrinkle treatments, such as anti-ageing injectables. At The Levant Clinic, our anti-wrinkle injectable treatments are all performed by our highly skilled cosmetic surgeons.
The results of eyelid surgery typically last 8 to 10 years, but every patient is different. A healthy lifestyle and good skincare routine will help you maintain the effects of your blepharoplasty for as long as possible. However, the ageing process doesn’t stop after a blepharoplasty, so you may wish to keep your new appearance with aesthetic and rejuvenating treatments.
Eyelid and eye bag surgery are relatively low risk when being carried out by a qualified plastic surgeon, but there are possible complications.
With an upper blepharoplasty, most patients find it difficult to close their eyes for the first few days. With both upper and lower eyelid surgery, you may experience dry or watery eyes for up to three months after your procedure.
Further complications include bleeding beneath the skin (haematoma), numbness, infection and venous thromboembolism (VTE). Rare complications include drooping of the lower eyelid (ectropion) and vision loss. Your surgeon will explain the risks and complications associated with your operation in more detail during the consultation.

The dermal fillers we use at The Levant Clinic contain hyaluronic acid in gel form. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance.
Dermal filler treatments are generally safe. However, it’s essential to choose qualified and experienced practitioners. We recommend not opting for this treatment from your local hair or beauty salon.
At The Levant Clinic, safety is our top priority, so your anti-wrinkle injections will only ever be administered by a plastic surgeon who:
If you’re thinking about having dermal treatments, don’t be worried about asking your surgeon what qualifications they possess and the training they have received.
Dermal fillers are a quick and inexpensive way to treat signs of ageing. However, a consultation before your treatment is essential to ensure the treatment is proper for you.
Dermal filler treatment may be inappropriate if you:

You’ll see an immediate difference in the treated areas, and any swelling will settle within 24-48 hours. You will continue to see improvements in the following few weeks as the hyaluronic acid starts to bind moisture and plump the skin.
On average, dermal fillers last four to six months, depending on the product used and the area treated. After six months, your body naturally breaks down hyaluronic acid fillers, so you’ll need to get touch-ups to maintain your desired look.
At The Levant Clinic, we offer the UK’s most trusted dermal fillers, including Juvederm™ and Restylane™, to add volume, smooth, soften, contour and tone your skin, depending on your unique needs. With over 50 million treatments worldwide, they are FDA approved and have an international reputation for safety and results.
Hyaluronic acid is found naturally in the body and is an essential building block of our skin. Hyaluronic acid attracts water, helping your skin stay hydrated and firm. Roughly half of our body’s hyaluronic acid is in our skin.
As we age, hyaluronic acid levels decline, up to 75 per cent less than in young people.
A synthetic form of hyaluronic acid is used in dermal fillers to plump and enhance the skin. They have been designed to give you a natural-looking and expressive face.
Hyaluronic acid injections have been used cosmetically for wrinkles and other anti-ageing treatments for many years and they’re also FDA-approved.
Safety is our top priority. Our dermal filler treatments are considered low risk as they are carried out by highly qualified plastic surgeons, using world-renowned dermal filler brands approved by the FDA.
The common side effects of the treatment are bruising, redness, swelling and pain, all of which should go away within two weeks. You can lessen bruising by avoiding aspirin and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as ibuprofen, before your treatment.
Complications can occur with any procedure, and for dermal fillers, they include:

In your first consultation, our surgeon will listen to you, examine your nose and face and recommend the best technique. Both have benefits and drawbacks, so it is essential to understand how the surgeon performs them and the potential complications before deciding. Closed rhinoplasty is best suited to subtle changes in the nose’s shape, whereas open rhinoplasty is used when more extensive changes to the nose shape and tip are required.
If you have difficulty breathing through your nose during the day or at night, a septorhinoplasty may be right for you. The procedure combines a nose job with a septoplasty (breaking and straightening the septum).
In your first consultation, you will have time to discuss your concerns, find your options and consider which approach will be most suitable for you.
It is always a good idea to have a list of questions you may want to ask in advance. But we understand that there’s often much to discuss, so if you forget to ask a question during the consultation, you can contact our dedicated team, who can return to your surgeon and get the answer. Questions you may want to consider are:
Rhinoplasty is a relatively low risk procedure when performed by a qualified plastic surgeon, but there are possible complications.
They include bleeding from the nose, numbness, infection, venous thromboembolism (VTE), altered sense of smell, breathing trouble, asymmetry and the need for revision. Your surgeon will explain the risks and complications associated with your operation in more detail during the consultation.
At The Levant Clinic, all our surgeons are accredited by the GMC and hold the FCRS (Plast) qualification. We take the utmost care to ensure we minimise complications.
Safety is our top priority. Our injectable anti-ageing treatments are considered low risk as only highly qualified plastic surgeons carry them out using premium anti-wrinkle injectables approved by the FDA/MHRA.
The most common side effects include redness, bruising, swelling and pain, all of which should go away within two weeks. By avoiding the use of aspirin and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as ibuprofen, before your treatment, you can reduce the amount of bruising.
Complications can occur with any procedure. For injectable anti-ageing treatments, they include undesirable appearance, such as asymmetry, lumps, or over-correction of wrinkles; skin damage that causes a wound, infection, or scarring; and muscle weakness, blindness or other vision problems. Others include trouble speaking and swallowing, death of skin cells due to loss of blood flow to the area and breathing problems.
There are three botulinum toxin type-A medicines available for cosmetic use in the UK:
They work by temporarily relaxing specific muscles, effectively preventing them from creasing or wrinkling the skin.
We have experience with all three formulations at The Levant Clinic but mainly use Azzalure. We don’t suggest that one brand is superior to another; inevitably, it’s simply the practitioner who chooses their preferred product. The UK’s MHRA and the FDA in the USA regulate Azzalure.
During your consultation, we’ll tell you which botulinum toxin product we will use in your treatment.
On average, injectable anti-ageing dermal treatments last three-six months, depending on the product used and the area treated. After six months, your body naturally breaks down the botulinum toxin type A, so you’ll need to get touch-ups to maintain your desired look.
You’ll see a difference in the treated areas within three to five days and will continue to see improvements in the following two weeks.
We encourage you to ask questions in the consultation, but we understand that there’s often much to discuss. So if you forget to ask a question, you can contact our dedicated team, who can return to your surgeon and get the answer.

Wrinkle filling injectables are a quick and inexpensive way to treat signs of ageing. However, a consultation before your treatment is essential to ensure the treatment is proper for you.
A common worry for new clients is the fear of looking ‘over-treated’. The Levant Clinic is committed to delivering natural results, so you’ll have a fresher and more youthful appearance.
The treatment won’t be suitable if you:
Anti-ageing injections contain botulinum toxin type A. It has been used worldwide as a medical treatment for more than 30 years. In the UK, it’s been used as a cosmetic treatment for 20 years. It is considered safe and comfortable, and its effects are consistent.
Injectable anti-ageing treatments are generally considered safe, but it is important you choose a qualified medical professional.
At The Levant Clinic, safety is our top priority, so your anti-wrinkle injections will only ever be administered by a plastic surgeon who:
