Baby facelift: Everything you need to know - An interview with Prof Fansa, Head of Plastic Surgery

Facelifting is a hot topic that is also gaining increasing attention in Hollywood. In particular, the baby facelift, a gentle and less invasive method for treating wrinkles and early signs of ageing, is becoming increasingly popular. Unlike traditional facelifts, which require deeper incisions and more intensive tissue removal, the baby facelift offers a more subtle solution. It treats early signs of ageing while providing a fresh, natural look - without major changes. The trend is increasingly moving towards gentler procedures with shorter recovery times and less scarring. We spoke to Prof Hisham Fansa, MD, our Head of Plastic Surgery, to find out more about modern facelift techniques and their benefits.
