Your health, Our priority

What’s the difference between a deep plane facelift and a mini facelift? Here’s our facelift expert, @bramhallplasticsurgery talking about the difference. Both procedures start in a similar way, but what happens beneath the skin makes all the difference.

In a deep plane facelift, the deeper tissues are lifted, key ligaments are released, and the entire face is repositioned for a result that’s both effective and natural.

A mini lift, on the other hand, simply tightens the tissues with a few stitches — which can look less natural over time as the skin changes.

At McKeown Medical, we stopped offering mini lifts years ago because the results of a deep plane facelift are just in another league.

Did you catch us on @stvnews last night? Dr Rhona and @driainmartin joined some of our patients to speak about the importance of accessible, high-quality healthcare for women.

This is our 5ml protocol. It’s an excellent option for patients looking for a general refresh either at the earlier stages of the ageing process, or even further into the ageing process if you want to start gently.

Varicose veins and thread veins might sound similar, but they’re actually quite different. Here`s Dr Alex, our vascular surgeon explaining the difference.

Varicose veins are larger, swollen veins that sit just beneath the surface of the skin. They often appear on the legs or feet and can cause discomfort, pain or a heavy, aching sensation.

Varicose veins are larger, swollen veins that sit just beneath the surface of the skin. They often appear on the legs or feet and can cause discomfort, pain or a heavy, aching sensation.

Thread veins, sometimes called spider veins, are much smaller. They appear as red, blue or purple web-like lines on the surface of the skin and are usually painless. You’ll often see them on the legs or face.

We can treat both types of veins. If you’re not sure what’s right for you, get in touch and we’ll be happy to talk it through.

If no clear cause is found and you`re not planning any more pregnancies, we offer treatment with the NovaSure® endometrial ablation device. It is a quick, minimally invasive procedure that can significantly reduce or stop bleeding altogether.
