Male Facelift & Neck Lift in Harley Street, London
Clare Halliday2024-06-12I would like to share my experience of my face and neck lift with Dr De Silva. First and foremost I will tell you truthfully, that with all I now know for my experience, I would go through it all again tomorrow if I had too. It was so different from what you hear, and all the botched jobs you see. I picked Dr De Silva after much research, and the fact that he only specialises on the face, I made my appointment. From my first consultation till my 1yr check up, I can only but give him and his team 100% Dr De Silva has an extremely calming way with him. He puts you at your ease and explains EVERYTHING in minuet detail. He leaves nothing out, everything he said happened in that way. From having pre op’s till the day of surgery nurses Ellie and Josie were fantastic, so helpful and friendly. I was told by Dr De Silva that It would not be painful, just a bit uncomfortable, that was true. I had no pain at all at anytime from start till now, Swollen and bruised yes, the bruising had all gone in 2 weeks. Swelling took a little longer. I was also told it would be quite numb for some time. It was, but it didn’t bother me, and now I have very little numbness left. It can take up to 9 months I think. I didn’t want to look different, I didn’t want to change anything, all I wanted was to look rested and fresher, a better version of myself. I am soooo happy with my lovely tight neck and no more loose skin and hanging jowls. It has made the biggest difference to my confidence. No one has asked have I had work done, they just say “ you are looking great”. If you are thinking of a face lift or any facial work done, I can 100% guarantee you will not find a better surgeon… anywhere. My extreme gratitude to Dr De Silva, Dr Andre (anaesthetist). Nurse’s Ellie & Josie and to Sarah who sorted all the paperwork etc.
Angela Haines2024-06-11Best of the Best! Incredible experience all round and natural looking results. I had originally seen Dr Julian De Silva for a consultation back in 2017 and had followed his work for years, so I was familiar with his style of surgery and artistry. I had studied his work of the ‘Golden Ratio’ and even bought his book years ago. At my first consultation, Dr Julian and his team immediately made me feel at ease. His wonderful team - Sarah, Mags, Mackez, Adam and the lovely nurses Alice, Josie and Kelly were all very kind and welcoming. I instantly felt at home. It’s a lovely energy when you go into 23 Harley Street and everything, including the operating theatre is there. Dr Julian De Silva’s kind and calm nature made him stand out from the rest of top surgeons that I had seen over the years. I didn't feel rushed, and he listened and understood my concerns. He explained to me about hyper mobility, where the skin can stretch at a younger age and this made sense why I was seeing premature signs of ageing such as ptosis and jowls forming. I felt relieved that finally a surgeon understood how I was feeling and didn't immediately turn me away dismissing me because of my age, saying I was too young etc. I knew he was the surgeon for me. A strong gut feeling and I trusted him 100%. I knew of his natural looking results from his previous work with other patients. He is truly an artist and has very fine attention to detail in his work. - Just look at his analysis of Renee Zellweger video on YouTube and you’ll understand what I mean. It is just over 3 months now since I had the operation and I am delighted with the results! My jowls have completely gone and I have my v shape jawline back. Dr Julian told me that the skin had dropped 2.5 centimeters and that is how much he had to lift it up again, which is a lot for someone my age and testament to the hypermobility. I can now wear eyeshadow without it creasing and my eyebrows are back to where they were pre ptosis! My confidence has come back and I am feeling so much more positive about how I look. My experience with Dr Julian De Silva and his team was second to none - No other surgeon could have done a better job. What I like about Dr Julian De Silva is his humbleness and integrity. He is not only a surgeon but an artist - He will look at the symmetry of your face and treat it like a work of art ; this goes beyond just surgery, this is artistry. From my results, especially around my eyes I can see how intricate and finely done with attention to detail he has perfected everything which makes for such natural results. The whole experience from the first consultation right through to the 3 month mark with several visits in between has been so enjoyable for me. I loved the whole experience of my trips up to 23 Harley Street. He has a great team who make you feel at home and comfortable straight away, they are very accommodating and always on hand with any questions or concerns you may have. It’s a lovely energy there. I have had consultations with other top surgeons in London and met their teams over the years but none have been on this level. Julian and his team are a rare find. I’m so pleased and grateful I picked Dr Julian De Silva and his team - I want to go back and get more things done for the joy of the whole experience, which says a lot!
Angela Irwin2024-06-11Thank you to everyone for their professionalism and care. PS love the results week 1 to week 6. Completely pain free throughout, thanks again xxx
alexis val2024-05-15I recently had a chin implant by Julian. It’s something I had considered for years but had felt apprehensive about, not knowing where to go and whom to trust. It’s a serious surgery and it was a bit stressful at the start, knowing where to look to find someone I could trust. I started by googling about chin implants and came across a few people in London who do them. I did as much research as possible by looking at before and afters, reading Google reviews, reviews on other sites like Realself, and looking into doctors abroad, etc… The great thing about Julian is that he has a lot of YouTube videos and content on Instagram that show him and his personality, along with people's experiences. Specifically, there are a few video diaries on his YouTube channel of people who have had this surgery, with a day-by-day step of their recovery. This really helped me and gave me peace of mind. I decided to have a consultation with Julian. The consultation wasn’t free but was definitely worth it. I felt listened to and didn’t feel rushed. I had an hour-long chat where I basically asked him to tell me which elements of my face could be treated to improve my appearance. Julian gave me concise information and it made complete sense. I was quoted for a couple of surgeries that I could have which would make a bit of difference to help balance things but from our discussion it was obvious that the chin implant would make the most difference. I took a few months to think about it but I decided to go for the chin implant. The operation was performed under twilight anesthesia. I hadn’t had this before and was a bit apprehensive but honestly it was absolutely fine and actually quite relaxing. All I remember is going into the theater, surrounded by lovely friendly nurses, feeling a bit sleepy, and next thing I know I’ve woken up in the theater. It felt like time had passed, I wasn’t groggy and within 30 minutes I was on my feet and could leave. For the next week after the surgery I was on quite a few different pills and I did feel quite out of it. Definitely do not have anything planned for the week following surgery, you will want to be at home with a few Netflix series ready to watch as you will need to rest up and let your body heal. It was a bit strange to smile for a few weeks after the surgery and my chin area felt a bit tight at first but you start to forget it’s there after a while. The result is very natural and I feel that I look a lot better, nobody has asked me if I have had something done but people have mentioned that I’m looking good but they aren't quite sure why haha. This is exactly the result I was looking for. The surgery isn’t cheap, it was upwards of £10,000 but was it worth it? For me, 100% yes. I just wish I had got it sooner tbh. There are other surgeons who are cheaper, you could go abroad to Turkey to get surgery or find someone based outside of London but in my opinion if you want this kind of surgery there is no point in trying to find a cheap option with a risk that it’s not going to be exactly how you want it. With Julian you have peace of mind that you’re with one of the leading plastic surgeons in the country, he also uses a technique that uses two titanium screws which attach the implant to the skull so that it doesn’t move. A lot of other surgeons do not use this technique and from reading reviews a lot of these people have had to get revision surgery to get an implant as it has moved over time because it wasn’t attached like the way Julian does them. Honestly, If you want a chin implant and want the best in the business, this is the doctor you want.
Ashka C2024-05-10I had a wonderful experience with Dr de Silva and his incredible staff. He is such a gifted and caring surgeon and I cannot recommend the London Centre highly enough.
Michael Chan2024-04-29I am a timid young man plagued by hereditary eye bags. Used all my options from the latest creams advertised to the newest hacks trending to no avail. I concluded that facial surgery is my only way forward as it was starting to affect my mental health. Discovering his accessible YouTube channel was invaluable to my research. Alongside his detailed website, this gave me the confidence to reach out to the clinic. I met Julian and his team back in February for my consultation and proceeded with my surgery in March. (2024) From the consultation with Julian I was immediately relieved from all my questions and worries about the procedure I was enquiring (lower blepharoplasty). Informed by his wealthy knowledge and articulate descriptions. His respectful manner helped alleviate any stress induced from my own research. I had my complete trust in him and he proved it to me with his vast portfolio of successful clients who've had the same procedure. In that instance I knew I had come to the right place and could set my mind at ease. The team are supportive with great communication. Professional and friendly. Nothing but respect and gratitude for them all. From my experience with Julian's practice I felt welcome, positive and hopeful. Also the twilight sedation that he recommends is excellent! You go into surgery and it’s like falling asleep, and once it’s over the nurse wakes you up and you’re alert and aware. Thank you so much! I can finally smile with my eyes again. Highly recommend Julian to anyone that is considering facial surgery.

Alice Tibaldi Chiesa2023-12-27Dr Da Silva and his all team are very professional, always available for follow up and very clear communication. Thank you
Ruth Johnson2023-12-12Almost one year in ... I am still delighted. Surgery is not for the faint hearted. You need to be brave, and prepared for some bumpy times in recovery. But it's worth it. Julian de Silva is on another plane. Not only an exceptional (world class) technician, he is also an artist who doesn't paint by numbers. So easy for me to recommend ...

With cosmetic procedures for men rising in popularity every year, more male patients are looking to refresh their appearance with male facelift and neck lift procedures. Our patients want to look completely natural, reversing the signs of ageing that give men a tired appearance – loose skin and bands in the neck, loss of smooth jawline with increased lines, and wrinkles.
Male Facelift & Neck Lift Surgery, ‘Less is more approach‘ is key for male patients with less ageing. Key is preserving the character of a man’s face, for example the eyes and eye shape must be kept the same. Too many celebrities have had procedures that open up their eyes and feminise their appearance, this can be completely avoided with Natural Male Facelift surgery e.g. Tom Jones, Mickey Rouke.
Male facelift scars must be discrete and hidden, this must be tailored to the individual and depends on the degree of skin laxity. For some patients these can be placed in hidden creases around the ears, in others the natural beard growth must be observed, Dr De Silva discussed the most optimal procedure with each individual patient.
Combination Facelift & Neck lift procedures. Some patients required other procedures to give the very best results. Dr Julian De Silva advises all patients on eyelid changes (blepharoplasty), brow position, volume loss (Fat transfer, implants), jaw line strengthening (e.g. Chin implant). Often these procedures when used in conjunction with the golden ratio and masculine facial characteristics will enhance the result and give the best results. Dr De Silva had completed scientific research on ‘beautification’ of the male face to increase masculinity (e.g. one of the reason’s Brad Pitt’s face is so handsome. His jaw line and the relative proportions of his chin and jaw compared to the average jaw line.)
Dr Julian De Silva is a facial cosmetic and plastic surgeon in London. His approach to facelift and neck lift surgery delivers a natural, artistic result by focusing on the individual characteristics of each patient.
What Gives Men a More Tired Appearance?
One of the earliest signs of facial ageing is changes and sagging of the lower third of the face, the presence of jowls (the prominent soft tissue at the jawline) and a sagging neck with loss of the natural curvature and defined neck angle.
Along with eyelid changes, the neck is one of the first signs of facial ageing. A facelift for men that usually includes a neck lift restores the natural contours of the jaw and smoothens the angle of the neck beneath the jaw.
A rejuvenation resulting from a natural neck angle can turn back the years and make a person look years younger.

“What is the VFR 7, it is a comprehensive solution to facial ageing, The Vertical Face Restore 7-Key steps. This is an artistic procedure that I have carefully created, perfected, and refined as a highly unique surgical procedure, thanks to its ability to address the entire face, and not just a portion of it. It has been developed over a 10-year period and thousands of hours of work and refinement.”
Compared with a traditional facelift, the VFR technique offers far more differences than it does similarities, the lift is vertically oriented, not horizontally, which is a major reason for the natural look. Additionally, the VFR 7 addresses your entire face and not just a portion of it, simultaneously rejuvenating the outer brow, midface, jawline, and neck. A traditional facelift only addresses the jawline by pulling it toward the ears.
Client Feedback
Male Facelift & Neck Lift
What is Different?
Over pulled or over-lifted appearances give a ‘done’ look that is key to avoid.
Over-lifting in men’s faces can result in the feminisation of the face, and Dr De Silva is focused on conservative natural-looking results and takes measures to avoid this.
The differences between male and female facial anatomy must also be considered:
The facial bone structure is generally much thicker in men than women
Men have a stronger jawline and chin as well as thicker coarser skin
Facelift surgery is a surgery of finesse and detail.
Dr De Silva’s Technique
Face and neck lift surgery is one of the most common plastic surgery procedures Dr De Silva completes for men on a daily basis.
Dr De Silva utilises a spectrum of different male facelift and neck lift techniques from Los Angeles and New York. Every person differs in their facial shape, size, symmetry, ethnicity, genetic and exposure to environmental elements such as sun and smoke.
As a consequence, no two faces are the same. Dr De Silva tailors his surgical technique in accordance with multiple patient factors.
How Do You Hide Scars?
Unsatisfactory scars are caused by a combination of factors including surgical technique, the position of scars, closure techniques (stitches vs staples) and genetics (1% of patients can have healing issues with scars secondary to their genetics).
Taking meticulous measures to minimised and hide scars are key to success:
- Surgeon’s technique. Surgeon’s use different techniques to complete a facelift and neck lifting procedure. Meticulous care and attention to detail are required to hide the facelift incisions in natural creases and curves.
- Location of the incision. The incision and scars can be hidden by placing the visible portion of the incision inside the ear canal or opening behind the little lump in front of your ear called the tragus. Patients with marked skin laxity require an approach to the minimised movement of beard growth. Dr De Silva discusses this with his male patients for the optimal outcome.
- Multiple-layered meticulous closure. Multiple layered skin closure ensures that there are deep stitches to support the soft tissues once the superficial skin stitches are removed; this is key to avoid unattractive widened scars.
- Bevelled incision. In hair-bearing skin the use of a bevelled incision in the hairline enables hair to grow through the scar after surgery, hiding the scar in hair-bearing skin.
- Deep plane face lifting technique. Lifting the deep tissues beneath the skin (SMAS or Deep Muscle Tightening) before skin closure is essential to give a natural-looking result and avoiding tension on the skin.
- Stitches. There are different methods that can be used to close the skin. Some surgeons use staples to save time; however, they can leave marks, unsatisfactory scars and are uncomfortable to remove. Dr De Silva avoids the use of staples in all patients as the best healing is from the use of fine sutures in non-hair bearing skin.
- 3D Telescopes. For some patients, a small high definition telescope is used to hide and conceal scars. With the use of natural techniques and the latest technologies, Dr De Silva is able to enhance the natural-looking neck contour and increase the longevity of the neck lift.
