The Volumetric Facelift, often regarded as the ultimate non-surgical facelift, is a holistic solution to facial ageing, underpinned by our contemporary understanding of the anatomy of the face and the structural changes that occur over time. This approach is less invasive than traditional surgical facelift methods, which focus on removing excess skin and soft tissues. The objective is to restore the lost volume as the years go by, replacing lost fat and bone. This results in a fresher, more youthful-looking appearance that addresses volume-deficient areas and sagging skin.

How Does It Work?
What can help?
The Volumetric Facelift is a non-surgical approach to full-face rejuvenation – without the associated downtime of a surgical procedure. Drawing upon our advanced injecting techniques and an evolved understanding of the facial ageing process, we use dermal fillers to restore volume in a way that is both understated and utterly undetectable: injecting onto the bone – thus reinforcing a patient’s natural projection – rather than over-volumising the features. The result is a more youthful facial structure that looks refreshed yet natural. Often patients who have had a surgical facelift will also undergo additional volumetric facelift to restore the softness of youth.
Restoring softness
When the face is young, the tissues are soft and supple. The features become more harsh and less appealing with age and loss of fat and bone from the face. Restoring volume helps to reverse the process and restores the softness of youth.

From my very first contact with yourselves to the minute I left the attention to detail and client service was impeccable, every member of staff I came into contact with was so friendly and professional put me at ease so much. Sometimes I get a little overwhelmed with environments like this however this was furthest from my thoughts on arrival.
My consultation answered all concerns Dr Rhona explained what would give me best results as to what I was looking to achieve . As I was travelling from a far your team kindly got my booked in same day for my treatment so I didn’t have to make another journey. Upon my procedure which again every step of the way was explained my therapist was so attentive talked me through everything step as she was carrying out my treatment and explained all my after care.
I am currently in day 3 of the Halo treatment and everything is exactly what I was told to expect. I am now looking forward to seeing end result. Thank you to you and your team .
A McKeown Medical patient May 2024
From the moment I walked through the door I was treated so well by every member of staff, all so friendly and helpful. I received Halo and BBL I was a little nervous but Dr Rhona completely put my mind at rest.
After my treatments I was taken good care of and Dr Darren came and reassured me too which was an added bonus. I returned a few weeks later for my checkup and again was treated so well, Dr Darren remembered me which was lovely.
I am delighted with the results of my treatment I feel my skin looks so much fresher and this in turn has lifted my self esteem which had previously been at a low point. I highly recommend both these treatments and would not hesitate to return to Dr Darren’s Clinic in the future. Thank you to all again.

Are you ready to start your consultation?
Finding the right treatment for you is the most important factor in ensuring that you are on the correct path to achieve the results you desire. Our pre-consultation enquiry helps us to identify your needs and, ultimately, gets you on the right path to achieving your optimal results.
What to expect
A patient before and after treatment at McKeown Medical.
The Procedure: Step-By-Step
Initial Consultation and Facial Analysis
A detailed consultation is essential before any treatment. This step involves analysing the patient’s facial structure, discussing their aesthetic goals, and creating a personalised treatment plan.
Removal of Makeup and Skin Preparation
This is the first step in the actual procedure, involving cleansing the skin to remove makeup and impurities. This step is crucial to prevent any infections and to prepare the skin for injections.
Topical Anesthesia Application (if necessary)
Most modern fillers contain local anaesthetic which numbs as it goes. Occasionally if the patient is very sensitive – or if we are treating a very sensitive area like the lips – we will use some additional topical anaesthetic for maximal comfort.
A patient before and after treatment at McKeown Medical
Using a Cannula to Refine the Filler Placement
A cannula, which is a thin, blunt-tipped tube, is used for the precise placement of fillers. This technique minimises bruising and discomfort and vastly reduces the risk of complications. Although this can look painful on video, most patients aren’t able to feel it at all.
Cheek Filler Placement
Adding volume to the cheeks is a critical step in restoring a youthful appearance. This is a holistic approach the includes the front (or apple), back (in front of the ear) and lower cheek, according to each patients individual anatomy.
Contouring the Jawline
As we age, loss of bone along the jawline contributes to sagging and jowl formation. Defining the jawline is a key aspect of the volumetric facelift, helping to create a more defined and youthful facial contour.

Injections to the Outer Corner of the Eye
This step helps to lift the lower eyelids as part of the volumetric facelift, for a rejuvenated and rested look.
Injections to the Deeper Lines Around the Mouth
We always start by restoring the structure to the face which helps reduce lines around the mouth. However, when the lines are deep they usually also need some direct treatment.
Assessment of Symmetry and Additional Adjustments
After the initial injections, assessing the face for symmetry and balance is important, making any necessary adjustments with additional tweaks.
Recovery & Aftercare
Recovery & Aftercare
Post-Procedure Care Instructions
Providing patients with detailed aftercare instructions is crucial. This most important aspect is keeping the skin clean, by avoiding wearing make up in the first 24 hours.
Follow-Up Appointment
A follow-up appointment is often scheduled to assess the results once the swelling has subsided and the fillers have settled. We usually see patients in two weeks, by which point the results should have settled and you should have a good outcome. If any further tweaks are necessary, we can do them at this appointment.
Common Questions
What are the benefits?
The Volumetric Facelift addresses one of the most important aspects of facial ageing: loss of volume from the fatty tissues and the skeleton. As the facial bones shrink in size, there is less structural support for the overlying skin and soft tissues, which leads to tissue ptosis (sagging) – manifesting in an aged and tired-looking appearance.
The Volumetric Facelift is very effective at reducing signs of ageing in the face, from the jawline up. The effect is much more modest in the neck. If your neck is a significant effect, you may be better suited to a surgical procedure.
Which anaesthetic is used?
Many of our patients are surprised to learn that the Volumetric Facelift is not uncomfortable and does not require anaesthetic. We use dermal fillers containing a local anaesthetic known as lidocaine, which helps reduce discomfort.At the same time, sensitive areas, such as around the mouth, can benefit from using a topical numbing cream. A dental block can be administered for highly nervous patients, though this is rare.
What's the downtime?
Immediately after the volumetric facelift you might notice a small amount of swelling (especially around the chin or in the lips) – although this has usually subsided within a few days. In fact, most patients with the Volumetric Facelift are back to work or their regular daily routine the following day. If bruising does occur, it can be covered with post-procedure makeup – though this should not be applied until the day following treatment.
When will I see results?
The effects are immediately visible: contours are noticeably refined, and the face shape appears youthful. But the best results are to be seen in a couple of week’s time, when the filler has fully integrated with the tissue and the face has settled.
