Are varicose veins hereditary?

Thank you to our incredible patient for allowing us to share these pictures with you.

This patient has been with me for years but the thing we have always struggled with has been the texture of the skin around the mouth and lower face which has had a lot of sun over the years.

We’d tried less invasive options but ultimately when the skin changes get to this level the only thing that makes a dramatic improvement is full field resurfacing.

There is literally no other treatment capable of undoing sun damage like this. The patient is only a few weeks post-op and still a bit red so she is wearing make up to hide the redness, but already obsessed by the texture of her new skin.

Since we are now in full swing filler season, I’m very grateful to this patient for allowing us to share her pictures to demonstrate how much lift we can achieve just using filler.

Now that spring has finally sprung we are very much in peak time for filler treatments in the clinic.

So many patients would benefit from filler, but are scared of them because of the horror stories so I wanted to share a few examples this week of what filler looks like - in the correct hands!

Here are some examples of the natural looks we achieve with the McKeown Method.

What a difference a week is! This is one of our patients just a week out from her deep plane face and neck lift by the ever so talented @bramhallplasticsurgery.

The deep plane technique is the most technically challenging facelift to perform and Russell remains the only surgeon in Scotland performing this procedure, which involves going much deeper into the face to reposition the tissues rather than just pull them tight.

The outcome is a much more effective rejuvenation, even in unflattering poses when your head is bent forward, and a result that lasts much longer than a traditional facelift.

Thank you so much to our wonderful patient for allowing us to share her before and after pictures. She’s around 6 weeks after full field resurfacing.

One of the great things about this treatment is that, in addition to wiping wrinkles away, it also gives some pretty impressive skin tightening too. If you look at her forehead, upper and lower eyelids you can really see how much tighter the skin is.

The stubborn forehead lines and lines through the eyebrows have gone and, of course, the lines around the mouth are significantly reduced. These will continue to improve for up to six months as the skin continues to heal. She’s still a little pink, which will fade over the next few months, but with a little tinted moisturiser you’d never know. The patient is over the moon.
