I knew from the age of 43 when I caught sight of myself in a shopping precinct lift which had an infinity mirror that I would one day have to do something about my wrinkly neck!
I started saving whatever I could and in the meantime tried many different creams, even a battery operated electric pulse gadget, supposed to help tighten the muscles, needless to say it didn't work!
As the years passed by I felt it ate away at my own self image, I wasn't unhappy but felt it was inhibiting in the clothes I wanted to wear and it affected how I chose to wear my hair, this feeling only progressed as I knew there was nothing I could do for myself, it was purely an ageing process.
What I did feel was that my neck looked a lot older than the rest of me, I started looking at other womens necks, some a good 15 to 20 years older than me and their skin on the neck area was often better than mine. I started looking into surgery approx 3 years ago, there were plenty abroad that had surgery advertised at half the price but for me I wanted to feel safe and also use someone local.
I came across Amir and his concept neck and face lift,it minimized recovery, bruising and swelling which makes a huge difference to a busy lifestyle. I loved all the reviews and before and after pics.
I booked a consultation with Amir and was inspired with confidence with his kind and straightforward approach. I had the surgery 8 days ago, I feel so good and happy and I am really looking forward to wearing different style necklines and my hair in different styles. The clinic is lovely , staff really friendly and happy to discuss fully all issues. I can highly recommend Amir , you could not be in better hands.

September 26, 2016
Yes just a local

Hi I'm having a face and neck lift with Amir next month..good to hear your pleased with your results..what proceedure did you have?
September 26, 2016
Sorry I see you had neck and lowered face, did you have any liposuction? I'm trying to decide..
September 26, 2016
No lipo, it was the 'concept' neck and lower face with a local

Thank you for sharing your story with this community. I hope you get all the support you need here. Let us know how we can help!

Thanks, i'm sure you'll get a great result as his work looks excellent. I a I had a consult with him, said I needed a 'concept' neck & lower face lift with Lipo but he would only do the op under a general so am still searching!
September 26, 2016
Really? I thought Mr Amir Nakhdjevani did all his concept faces by local anashesia.. wonder why you would need a general?
September 27, 2016
So did I & that's why I arranged a consult? I think he alluded that it would be a lengthy op & that I would need to be asleep. The quote also ended up being 3 x of what I was expecting. I obviously respect his opinion and decision and his work looks top drawer but it's local or nothing for me!

I expect the quote included the hospital and anesthaesist fees which would increase the price. Have you had consultations with any other surgeons who use local anaesthetic?
September 27, 2016
I am in the process of arranging other consultations. Am also extending my research to the USA. Thanks

I had Concept face lift with Neck lift lipo and eyelids all done under local with Amir 3 weeks ago. I am still a little swollen around the chin area but if is looking great. To be honest though It was coming too as he was stitching up behind my ears at the end. So am surprised to say he said only under general. I am 49 so don't know if age comes into it .....good luck with who you choose .

I don't know the reasons why Amir doesn't offer twilight?
November 18, 2016
Hi there, I'm looking at Amir doing my surgery too exactly same as you but it is a long way fo me to travel, please could you tell me how much it cost before I book consultation?
November 18, 2016
I am looking at the same op with him, please could you tell me the quote before I travel far for the consultation?

I had 2 phone consultation with Amir the first he suggested the local with sedation with anaesthetist present for face and neck lift £9,400. The second phone consultation he said he was only happy to do in a hospital with a general anaesthetic and included a nights stay in hospital and quoted £10,400 for this option in London. He said that he felt this was best as I might end up moving a lot during the surgery with just the first option. Like you I wasn't expecting to pay that much so still considering my options. The costing is a bit confusing as the basic cost with local anaesthetic is quoted as £8,500 but some people have posted that it cost less for the same surgery? I was a bit disappointed too as I was set on having this because of the easier procedure recovery etc....

I had a consultation with Mr Riaz in Hull he offers the R Lift which is similar to the concept face and neck lift it costs £5750 with general and a nights stay in hospital, I think there's insurance as well. I decided against this purely because of where one part of the scar would be. Also had a recent consultation with Nick Percival he quoted £7850 for SMAS in Wellbeck with general and 2 years insurance. I'm still considering this one as I did like him but was preferring an option like Amir's for the reasons mentioned before. If you're looking abroad Linda Briggs organises plastic surgery in Malta and other european countries for around 5,700 euros for hospital surgery. She uses experienced surgeons but I prefer to have in UK for aftercare etc... Hope this info helps. Good luck with research.

I had Neck lift Lipo in neck ...concept facelift and upper eyes for £12000..without eyes it was £10000.

Thank you! I don't want a General as it now seems that is of a by-gone age for lower face surgery but I guess it depends on pt.s preference. I have previously had extensive dental implants, lipo & Blethoplasty under Local with no problems. As long as there's no pain I can remain calm. I am however realistic and due to the duration of Face surgery I think Twilight would be my best option. I have a consultation soon with Dominic Bray & also considering Dr. Da Silva at the London Clinic.

I agree, his costing on his website are a bit misleading. I haven't read of anyone having surgery and quoting the prices stated. Think he should be a bit more up-front in the context of advertising. I'm also confused as to how he determines how someone is suitable for local and not others. Surely there's a risk of anyone 'moving' a lot during surgery?
November 18, 2016
I would like to add that his consultation was free so I thank him for that!

Concept face/neck lift and Lipo with General was about £16000

I had a concept facelift, cheeklift, necklift with lipo and eyes top and under eye in September and all under local. I am 69. Dr Amir is an excellent surgeon and I highly recommend him.

If he would do it under local I would have chosen him. For some strange reason he said only general. I've had numerous procedures under local incl. teeth implants, lower bleph, lipo and a hair transplant so unsure why he wouldn't do it under local with fantastic results. The teeth & hair transplant procedure lasted hours and I never flinched. My jowels and neck don't need major work so was slightly baffled by his decision. My mid-face and brow don't need any work at all. Maybe he approaches male's differently?
