Results that Matter
*Individual results vary as the outcomes experienced by one person do not necessarily reflect the outcomes that other people may experience, as results may vary due to many factors, including the individual’s genetics, diet and exercise. Please schedule the initial consultation so we can review your case and show you similar patient results.

our Approach
A Specialist Approach to Facial Plastic Surgery
Facial plastic surgery is a highly specialised field that demands dedicated training, technical precision and a deep understanding of facial anatomy and function. Unlike general cosmetic surgery, facial plastic and reconstructive surgery focuses exclusively on the complex structures of the face and neck, where even subtle changes can have a significant impact on appearance, expression and confidence.
At Ullas Facial Plastic Surgery, treatments are planned with long-term outcomes in mind. The aim is not to change how someone looks, but to restore balance, function and harmony in a way that feels natural and appropriate for the individual. This philosophy underpins all aspects of care, from facial rejuvenation surgery to complex revision rhinoplasty and facial nerve treatment.
areas of expertise
Our Core Areas of Facial Plastic Surgery
Ullas Facial Plastic Surgery offers comprehensive facial plastic and reconstructive surgery, with care tailored to individual anatomy, function and aesthetic goals.
our goal
Natural Results, Not Obvious Surgery
A common concern for patients considering facial plastic surgery is whether the outcome will look noticeable or artificial. The philosophy at Ullas Facial Plastic Surgery is centred on subtle, preservation-led change that respects existing facial structure and expression.
The goal is for patients to look refreshed, balanced and more like themselves, rather than visibly altered. Careful planning, conservative technique and a clear understanding of facial anatomy allow results that age well and remain appropriate over time.
Your journey
A Clear and Supportive Patient Journey
Facial plastic surgery is not a one-step decision, and the process should feel clear, supported and unpressured at every stage. The patient journey at Ullas Facial Plastic Surgery is designed to give people time, understanding and continuity of care from the first consultation through to long-term follow-up.
Submit an enquiry through our website and our team will be in touch within 24 hours. We'll arrange your consultation at our Newton-le-Willows or Manchester clinic at a time convenient for you.
A second consultation is also offered free of charge. This allows time to reflect, ask further questions, review options in more detail and make an informed decision without pressure. Many patients find this step helpful before committing to surgery.
Once a decision is made to proceed, treatment planning is carried out carefully and collaboratively. Surgical details, timing and preparation are explained clearly, along with practical guidance on what to expect before and after treatment.
Surgery is performed with a focus on precision, safety and natural outcomes. Patients are supported throughout the recovery period with clear instructions, access to advice and appropriate follow-up to monitor healing and progress.
Follow-up and aftercare are included as part of treatment. Ongoing reviews allow the surgical team to support recovery, address concerns and ensure results continue to settle as expected over time.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a preservation deep plane facelift and how is it different?
The preservation deep plane facelift is an advanced technique that repositions facial structures whilst preserving important ligaments and tissues. Unlike traditional facelifts, this approach delivers natural-looking rejuvenation with less disruption, reduced swelling, and faster recovery. We were the first clinic to advertise and deliver true preservation deep plane facelifts in the UK.
What are your surgeons' qualifications?
Prof Ullas Raghavan is board certified (FRCS ORL-HNS from Glasgow and Edinburgh) with over 37 years of experience, including 20 years as an NHS consultant. He holds international and European board certifications in facial plastic surgery (IBCFPRS and EBCFPRS). Mr Gautham Ullas is a dual-trained otolaryngologist and facial plastic surgeon with 10 years of experience, having completed both the European Academy and British Society Facial Plastic Surgery fellowships.
How long is the recovery time for facial surgery?
Recovery varies by procedure, but our advanced techniques are designed to minimise downtime. Most patients experience limited recovery periods with natural-looking results. During your consultation, we’ll provide specific recovery timelines tailored to your chosen procedure and individual circumstances.
Do you treat patients from outside the local area?
Yes, absolutely. We regularly treat patients from across the UK, including London and Scotland, and have welcomed international patients from Europe and North America. We understand travelling for specialist care and ensure your journey is as smooth as possible with comprehensive support.
What happens during the initial consultation?
You’ll meet directly with Prof Raghavan or Mr Ullas for a comprehensive assessment. We’ll discuss your concerns, review your goals, examine your facial structure, and provide expert recommendations. Following your consultation, our coordinator will discuss pricing and flexible finance options to help make your treatment accessible.
Do you offer treatment for facial nerve problems?
Yes, this is one of our specialist areas. Mr Ullas has extensive expertise in facial nerve palsy and synkinesis treatment—conditions often dismissed or overlooked elsewhere in the UK. We provide comprehensive assessment and the latest treatment techniques to help restore facial function and confidence.
How natural will my results look?
Natural-looking results are our priority. Our preservation techniques and surgical expertise ensure your appearance matches your inner self without looking “overdone” or artificial. Patients consistently tell us they love how natural their results appear—looking refreshed and rejuvenated rather than obviously surgical.
