Facial Surgery procedures
Which facial procedure is right for me?
- If the lower face and jawline have softened, a facelift, often combined with a neck lift, is usually considered.
- If the main concern is the neck, a neck lift may be enough on its own.
- If the eyes look heavy or tired, upper or lower eyelid surgery may help.
- If you would like to change the shape of your nose or improve breathing, rhinoplasty is the relevant procedure.
Every patient is different. Facial procedures are often tailored or combined. Dr Anavekar will assess your facial structure and skin, and explain your options and the risks.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a facelift and a neck lift?
A facelift mainly addresses the cheeks, jowls and jawline, while a neck lift addresses loose skin and bands in the neck. They are frequently performed together.
Is eyelid surgery covered by Medicare?
Upper eyelid surgery may attract a Medicare rebate when excess skin affects your vision and specific clinical criteria are met. Eligibility is assessed at consultation, and all fees are explained in writing before surgery.
Do I need a referral?
Yes. A GP referral is required for surgical consultations in Australia, and may enable Medicare rebates for procedures that have an item number.
