Summary
- A patient who felt she looked “old and tired” had a facelift, necklift and phenol peel, all under sedation as a day case.
- Mr Karri often combines procedures, and sometimes a less invasive option gives a better result.
- Compared with laser treatment, a phenol peel has a shorter recovery and less risk of pigmentation.
Whenever a patient comes in for a consultation, Mr Karri is thorough in determining which procedures will have the best impact and outcomes for the patient. Combined procedures are often much more effective than just one, or sometimes patients come in believing they need one procedure, only to find out it may not be necessary and something different or less invasive will give a better result.
Mr Karri has created his own phenol peel that reduces wrinkles and tightens skin. Unlike laser treatment for wrinkles, a phenol peel has a shorter recovery and less risk of hyperpigmentation and is ideal for treating all facial wrinkles, you can read more about the procedure, here.
