The facelift that doesn't leave a trace

Let's face it, everyone wants to look good but no one wants the scars. Here's how it's done...

Want to have surgery, but don't want to be left looking like you've just gone ten rounds with Mike Tyson in his ear snacking days?

A solution to this dilemma was once thought impossible. With most beauty treatments you want the world to acknowledge the new you. 'Yes that golden glow is down to my spray tan, my flawless complexion is from a five minute facial and my angelic hands are the result of a miracle manicure.' However when it comes to facelifts, you're unlikely to hear, 'Yes my bruised, swollen cheeks and slashed jawline are from my facelift. Don't I look fabulous, dahling?'

A revolutionary technique performed by Manchester cosmetic surgeon, Mr Andrea Marando has allowed him to create the 'Scarless Facelift'. Unlike any other facelift, it leaves no tell tale signs of surgery. Many women (and more commonly men) don't want to let the world know that they have had a facelift. They would prefer people to comment that they look 'better' 'healthier' and 'younger' rather than ask whether they've been under the knife.

The Scarless Facelift uses a technique whereby incisions are made inside the folds of the ear during a very delicate process that will leave the patient with virtually no surgical signs. Swelling and bruising are reduced by the meticulous technique and by incorporating homeopathic treatments that will help reduce bruising after surgery leaving a more youthful and fresher-looking face.

There are two benefits to this technique. Firstly, patients will not have the usual scarring around the face as the incisions are carefully hidden so that to the untrained eye, they are virtually impossible to detect. Secondly, for women in particular, it gives them the freedom to wear their hair away from their face.

Mr Marando has been performing the Scarless Facelift for four years after spending time in New York with celebrity surgeon Daniel Baker. He said: "The 'Scarless Facelift' is proving to be a very popular choice of facial rejuvenation in Cheshire. I have further developed this technique which allows me to offer a natural result with a shorter downtime, meeting the needs of my patients yet achieving maximum results."

Mr Andrea Marando is one of the North West's leading cosmetic surgeons, specialising in surgery for the face and breasts. His private rooms are located at the Star Clinic, St. John Street, Manchester.
