Fat transfer is becoming increasingly popular as a natural way to restore volume, change shape or rejuvenate the face or body, without the need for an invasive surgical procedure or insertion of implants, synthetic filler or volumiser.
Meet Mr Tariq Ahmad Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon

The procedure involves injecting the patient’s own fat, meaning there is no chance of an adverse a reaction. It also means that once the transferred fat is established in the new area of the body or face, then results will last for up to 10 years. For fat transfer to the breast, it is only possible to go up by one size, so if you want a larger augmentation, you may wish to consider breast implants.
Mr Tariq Ahmad employs the Coleman Fat Transfer technique. Either under a general or local Anaesthetic, depending on the extent of the procedure, fat is removed by a syringe from areas where there is excess, such as the thighs or abdomen. It is then purified in a centrifuge and re-injected into the area where more volume is required, using specially designed cannulas.
Mr Ahmad will place many minute amounts of the fat into the recipient area, as the tissue needs access to a blood supply to survive, sculpting and moulding the area as he works.
A facelift offers several benefits for those seeking to address signs of facial ageing. Benefits include:
You may be a suitable candidate for facelift surgery if you’re noticing signs of ageing such as sagging skin, deep folds, jowls, or a loss of definition in the face and neck. Ideal candidates should also be in good general health, do not smoke (or are willing to not smoke before surgery), and have realistic expectations about what a facelift can achieve.

From your first enquiry to full recovery, we’re with you every step of the way.
During your consultation with Mr Ahmad, he will take the time to understand your concerns, assess your facial structure and discuss the changes you would like to achieve. This individualised approach ensures that your treatment plan is tailored specifically to your needs.
A second complimentary consultation is offered after you have had time to reflect on the information provided. This follow-up appointment allows you to revisit any questions from your initial discussion and review any provided information before deciding whether to proceed.
Recovery from facelift surgery usually takes around 2 to 3 weeks, depending on the extent of the procedure. In the early days, it is normal to experience swelling, a feeling of tightness and some bruising around the cheeks and jawline. These effects gradually improve over the first couple of weeks.
Throughout your recovery, you will attend scheduled follow-up appointments to closely monitor your progress. A team member will also contact you after your procedure to provide ongoing guidance and address any concerns.
Support continues until healing is complete and you are satisfied with your results. Where appropriate, ancillary treatments such as manual lymphatic drainage or nutrition advice may be provided to optimise the healing process.
You will notice an improvement in your facial contours immediately after surgery, although this early result will be affected by swelling and bruising. These temporary effects are expected and typically resolve over the first 2 to 3 weeks as the healing process progresses.
By around six weeks, the tissues continue to soften and relax. Most patients see their final result between four and six weeks, though subtle refinements can continue for several months as the deeper layers fully settle.
While facelift surgery is generally safe when performed by an experienced plastic surgeon, the specific risks vary depending on the type of facelift, the extent of the procedure, and your individual health. Potential risks and complications may include:
Mr Ahmad will discuss these risks with you in detail during your consultation so you can make a fully informed decision about your treatment.
