The ultimate non-surgical facelift in Glasgow
Dr. Darren McKeown Medical Director
Our founder, Dr Darren McKeown, is renowned for his expertise and artistry with dermal fillers. As a peer-reviewed medical author, he is passionate about treatments that stand up to scientific scrutiny. Above all, Dr McKeown believes in a global approach; delivering flawless results – and rejuvenation that lasts.
As we age, it is not only the skin and soft tissues that change — the face’s lines and features change too. The basic shape of the underlying facial skeleton changes with loss of bone projection and coarsening of the facial features, causing the face to lose its youthful appearance.
Rather than simply using dermal fillers to ‘fatten’ the face, a volumetric facelift involves injecting fillers on top of the bone to restore the lost projection and create a younger looking facial shape.

The volumetric facelift is often seen as the ultimate non-surgical facelift.
Being non-surgical, it is less invasive than conventional facelift procedures targeting excess skin and soft tissues.
The objective is to restore volume for a younger-looking appearance.
It offers full facial rejuvenation from conventional facelifts without the downtime of surgical procedures.
Advanced Techniques and Understanding
We use dermal fillers to restore volume based on our advanced injecting techniques and in-depth understanding of the ageing process
Often patients who have previously had a surgical facelif will also undergo an additional volumetric facelift due to its youth-enhancing properties.
Non-Surgical Volumetric Facelift in Glasgow: The Procedure
Step 1 – First Consultation and Facial Analysis
A thorough first consultation is vital before your treatment.
We analyse your facial structure while ascertaining your aesthetic aims.
This results in a bespoke treatment plan based entirely on your desired outcome.
Step 2 – Removal of Makeup and Skin Preparation
This first step in the actual treatment entails skin cleansing to remove impurities and make-up.
It is vital to ready the skin for injections and prevent infections.
Step 3 – Topical Anesthesia Application (if necessary)
Fillers nowadays numb as they go as they contain local anaesthetic.
But sometimes, we have patients who are exceptionally sensitive or have a sensitive area treated, such as the lips.
In these cases, we provide added topical anaesthetic.
Step 4 – Using a Cannula to Refine the Filler Placement
A thin, blunt-tipped tube – cannula – ensures precision-placing of your fillers.
It’s a technique that guarantees less bruising, discomfort and complication risks.
Cannula filler placement can look painful, but most patients don’t feel a thing.
Step 5 – Cheek Filler Placement
Restoring cheek volume plays a crucial role in regaining a more youthful appearance.
We adopt a holistic treatment approach: the front (or apple), back (in front of the ear) and lower cheek, according to your anatomy.
Step 6 – Contouring the Jawline
Loss of jawline definition, as we age, causes sagging jowls.
Consequently, redefining the jawline is a key facet of the volumetric facelift, creating a more youthful contoured jawline.
Step 7 – Injections to the Outer Corner of the Eye
The sixth step of our volumetric facelift for facial rejuvenation provides a lower eyelid lift.
Step 8 – Injections to the Deeper Lines Around the Mouth
Initial steps reduce lines around the mouth by restoring facial structure.
But on occasions, lines are so deep that they deserve direct treatment.
Step 9 – Assessment of Symmetry and Additional Adjustments
For the final step, we assess the face for balance and symmetry and make tweaks should any adjustments prove necessary.
Post-Procedure Care Instructions
Keeping the skin clean and make-up-free in the first 24 hours is key.
Follow-Up Appointment in Glasgow
We schedule a follow-up appointment after the fillers have settled and your swelling has gone down.
This is usually about two weeks after your procedure.
If you require any more refinements, these will be done during your follow-up appointment.
For FAQs about this procedure, see our main volumetric facelift treatment page.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Before & After: Following Under Eye Hollow Treatment.
What is the material that is injected into the skin during the procedure?
The filler injections we use for our volumetric facelift treatments consist of hyaluronic acid, a structural molecule that we all have present in our skin and soft tissue.
The hyaluronic acid injected for this treatment is identical to our own, which means that the possibility of an allergic reaction is very small.
Juvéderm Hyaluronic Acid Fillers
The brand of hyaluronic acid we use for our dermal fillers is Juvéderm from Allergan. It is the most popular filler used due to the extensive research that has been carried out on it and its excellent safety profile.
Most of the products we use are from the most advanced Vycross range of fillers. The most appealing aspect of this type of filler is that it is reversible. Should you be unfortunate enough to develop a complication in the treated area, the product can be dissolved by injecting an enzyme that breaks the filler down.
Before & After: Following Nose to Mouth Line Treatment.
How long will the dermal fillers last?
With Vyrcross products, the results are expected to last up to 2 years.
You will begin to notice the results fade a little towards the end of this period, but it is a gradual process which involves the body breaking down the hyaluronic acid and naturally resorbing it. If you allow the product to break down completely and your face to go back to the way it was before, it would probably take much longer than 2 years.
Maintenance procedures
By around 2 years, most patients will be at the stage where they will feel the need for further maintenance procedures.
Before & After: Following Cheeks Treatment.
What volume of filler will I need to achieve the best results with my volumetric facelift?
The volume will depend on a number of factors, including your age, the health of your skin, and your facial anatomy.
In general terms, it is possible to use anywhere between 6ml and 15ml to treat a full face, but whether you need a large or small amount will be discussed during your consultation.
Before & After: Following Temples Treatment.
What is the best treatment for me?
The best treatment option for you will depend on your anatomy, ageing experience, and the results you hope to achieve. To begin the process towards full face volumetry, it is best to come in for a consultation to discuss your needs with one of our doctors.
If you live a long distance from the clinic, it is possible to start the process by using our private online consultation facility. This allows you to explain your initial concerns and upload photographs which will then be reviewed by one of our doctors to make initial recommendations.
