Understanding Facelift Procedures
A facelift is a surgical procedure that addresses physical changes to the lower face and neck, which may occur with age or due to other factors. This includes changes in skin elasticity, muscle tone, and the position of facial fat. There are several types of facelift procedures. The approach recommended depends on the area being addressed and the individual’s specific anatomical features.
Traditional Facelift Gold Coast
A traditional facelift generally involves surgical repositioning of deeper facial structures, the removal of excess skin, and tightening of underlying tissue. It typically focuses on the midface, jawline, and neck. This procedure is generally considered for individuals with more pronounced changes to these areas.

Mini Facelift Gold Coast
A mini facelift is a less extensive procedure involving shorter incisions and a more limited scope. It typically targets the lower face and jawline. This option may be considered in cases where the changes are less advanced or where a shorter recovery period is preferred. Outcomes vary depending on the individual’s skin condition, facial structure, and other factors.
Otoplasty: Reshaping the Ears
Otoplasty is a procedure that adjusts the shape, position, or proportion of the ears. It may be used to address prominent or asymmetrical ears or other structural concerns. The procedure can be performed on both adults and children and can be tailored to suit a wide range of ear shapes.

Is Face Surgery Right for You?
Face procedures may be considered by individuals with specific structural or age-related concerns. A thorough consultation is important to assess whether a surgical approach is appropriate. Factors such as general health, skin condition, and expectations are all taken into account during the assessment process. Results will differ based on individual anatomy and surgical techniques.
The Consultation Process
During the consultation, Dr Doyle discusses your medical history, examines the relevant facial features, and explains the available surgical options. This process is designed to support informed decision-making. Patients are encouraged to ask questions and to consider all information before proceeding.
Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery timelines vary based on the type and extent of surgery. Most procedures involve an initial recovery period where rest is recommended. Swelling, bruising, and temporary changes in sensation are common during this time. Follow-up appointments and adherence to aftercare instructions are an important part of the recovery process.
