1. The 'R' Facelift by Mr Muhammad Riaz

It’s taken two-and-a-half years to perfect the technique, but Riaz’s R-Lift facelift is proving popular. ‘Since I launched it, I’ve done nothing else,’ he says. That’s because it’s far less invasive than traditional facelifts.

Here, the skin is not lifted – instead, he makes an R-shaped incision at the side of the face, along the hairline and behind the ear. Removing excess skin and pulling it tight (he uses deep, looped stitches that gather the underlying muscle) keeps things looking seamless.

The result? Previously jowly faces become triangular, and in men it slims the face nicely while bringing out lost cheekbones. There’s little in the way of bruising and no bleeding whatsoever. ‘Within a week, everything has healed,’ claims Riaz. ‘It’s minimal treatment, maximum confidence.’

2. The Modern Facelift: Short Scar, Short Stay, Safe

Facelifts used to be the domain of aesthetic surgeons. However, lifestyle changes and increasingly effective non-invasive techniques mean that patients are looking for shorter downtime. And patients are being taken away from surgeons.

Have you noticed this happening in your practice?

You can do safer, smaller operations that require less downtime and are more effective than non-surgical solutions, to keep these patients. This module shows you how to adapt to this changing landscape – you need to learn less invasive but surgically effective techniques, to get patients back from your non-surgical competitors.
