He is listed as certified by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada in Otolaryngology (ear, nose, and throat surgery). This foundation in head and neck anatomy underpins his approach to facial rejuvenation.

Dr. Nichols completed his medical education at Western University, the same institution where he now practises and teaches. His long association with academic medicine reflects a career devoted to both patient care and surgical education.

The deep plane facelift is a central part of his cosmetic practice. This technique lifts the deeper facial layers rather than pulling on skin alone, aiming for natural movement and lasting rejuvenation.

His specialties extend well beyond cosmetic surgery. Dr. Nichols is recognized for transoral robotic surgery and robotic selective neck dissection — procedures that demand exceptional precision within delicate anatomy.

This breadth matters for facelift patients. A surgeon who navigates the nerves, muscles, and tissue planes of the head and neck daily brings deep anatomical fluency to facial rejuvenation.

Dr. Nichols holds membership in the American Head & Neck Society, a professional body dedicated to advancing surgical care of the head and neck region. Membership reflects ongoing engagement with his surgical community.

His academic role as a Full Professor within the Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery signals a commitment to research and teaching. He has been described as a surgeon-scientist who established a translational research programme at Western University.

At Nichols Facial Plastic Surgery, the stated philosophy pairs surgical training with a personalized, patient-first approach. The practice emphasizes precision and natural aesthetic outcomes tailored to each individual.

For patients considering facial aging concerns, Dr. Nichols offers a full range of procedures. These include face lift surgery, neck lift surgery, eyelid surgery, brow lift, lip lift, facial fat grafting, and buccal fat removal.

Recovery is an important part of the conversation in his practice. Deep plane facelift recovery typically unfolds over several weeks, with swelling and bruising easing before final results settle over the following months.

London, Ontario, provides the setting for his work. A mid-sized Canadian city with a strong academic medical presence, London offers a calm, well-resourced environment for surgical care and healing.

Dr. Nichols serves patients across London and the surrounding region. His fellowship training in facial plastic surgery complements his broader head and neck surgical background.

For women in their fifties and sixties exploring rejuvenation, Dr. Anthony C. Nichols represents a combination of extensive experience, academic credentials, and a focus on natural, individualized results in London, Canada.

I am currently 9 days post-op after my deep plane neck lift and partial facelift performed by Dr. Nichols. I can't express enough how truly grateful I am to Dr. Nichols and his incredible team of nurses. Their kindness, patience, understanding, and excellent communication throughout this entire process have been outstanding. I know I still have a long road to recovery, but I am already beyond thrilled with what I've experienced so far. The care I received has exceeded my expectations, and I am incredibly excited to see my final results as the healing process continues. I look forward to returning to Dr. Nichols in the future for other treatments and improvements I may choose to have. Thank you, Dr. Nichols and your wonderful team, for making this experience such a positive one. I would highly recommend your practice to anyone considering facial rejuvenation surgery

Where is Dr. C. Nichols located?
Dr. C. Nichols practices at Western University, London Health Sciences Centre, Victoria Hospital in London, Canada. The clinic welcomes both local and international patients travelling for deep plane facelift surgery. Visit the official clinic website for the full street address, parking details, and directions from the nearest international airport. International patients can arrange a virtual consultation before traveling to review candidacy, treatment plan, and pricing.
What is the recovery time for a deep plane facelift?
Recovery from a deep plane facelift typically involves 2-3 weeks of initial healing, with most visible bruising resolving within 7-10 days and sutures removed at days 7-10. International patients can generally travel home after 10-14 days once swelling has stabilised and wound checks are complete. Most patients return to desk work at 2-3 weeks and to exercise at 4-6 weeks. Final results become visible after 3-6 months as deep tissue swelling fully resolves. Dr. C. Nichols provides a personalised recovery timeline during consultation.
How long do deep plane facelift results last?
Deep plane facelift results typically last 10-15 years, significantly longer than traditional SMAS or mini-facelift procedures, which tend to last 5-8 years. The deep plane technique repositions deeper facial tissues (including the SMAS-platysma composite and the released retaining ligaments) rather than simply tightening skin, which produces more natural, longer-lasting rejuvenation. Longevity also depends on individual ageing biology, sun exposure, smoking status, and skincare. Dr. C. Nichols can discuss expected outcomes for your anatomy during consultation.

Dr. C. Nichols has 50+ years of clinical experience in facial plastic surgery. Deep plane facelift is a signature procedure within the clinical practice.

Active member of American Head & Neck Society, which requires ongoing peer review and continuing education.

When reviewing galleries, look for patients with facial anatomy similar to yours and for results photographed at least 3-6 months post-op, when final swelling has resolved.
