In their own words

Quoted word for word from the surgeon's own public posts and videos. General education, not medical advice.

Facial rejuvenation does not have to be a choice between non-surgical treatments and surgery.
Mr Kshem Yapa explains how skin quality, volume loss and tissue laxity can be considered as separate concerns within a long-term plan that may include non-surgical treatments, well-timed surgery and ongoing aftercare.
Source: YouTube, 2026-10-08 · Dr. Kshem Yapa, FRCS(Plast)
The conversation looks at the three key components of facial ageing - skin quality, volume loss and tissue laxity - and why different concerns require different solutions.
Mr Yapa explains why facelift surgery is not simply about reaching a certain age, but about the degree of tissue laxity and the individual patient's goals.
They also discuss mini facelifts, thread lifts, biostimulators and energy-based treatments, evidence-based skincare, how previous treatments may affect future surgery, and why modern facelift techniques can achieve subtle results without creating an operated or windswept appearance.
Source: YouTube, 2026-10-08 · Dr. Kshem Yapa, FRCS(Plast)
The aim of facial rejuvenation surgery is not to make someone look operated on.
Mr Kshem Yapa explains why treating the face harmoniously can create a more balanced and natural result - and why, in some cases, addressing several related areas can actually make the overall result look more subtle.

Signature technique

Dr. Kshem Yapa is recognized as a specialist in the advanced deep plane facelift technique, which forms a core focus of Dr. Yapa's practice in comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Dr. Yapa understands this sophisticated approach requires extensive knowledge of facial anatomy and precision in tissue manipulation. The deep plane facelift addresses facial aging at multiple levels by repositioning not just the skin but also deeper tissues, specifically working beneath the SMAS layer. This technique aims to achieve more natural and lasting results by carefully preserving facial nerve branches while delivering comprehensive rejuvenation.

About

With more than twenty years in facial plastic surgery, Dr. Kshem Yapa is a London-based consultant surgeon who specializes in deep plane facelift and comprehensive facial rejuvenation. As of October 2026, Dr. Yapa practises at Yapa Plastic Surgery in London, concentrating on natural, balanced facial results.

Dr. Yapa works from the Harley Street and Chelsea districts of London, areas long associated with British aesthetic medicine. The practice focuses on facial surgery rather than offering every cosmetic procedure—a narrowing of scope common among surgeons who concentrate on the face.

Read more ▾

The deep plane facelift sits at the centre of Dr. Yapa's practice. This operation repositions the deeper facial tissues rather than simply tightening skin, an approach many surgeons associate with longer-lasting, more natural outcomes.

Facial rejuvenation, in Dr. Yapa's described approach, means restoring harmony rather than changing a face. The stated aim is a refreshed version of your own features, preserving the expressions and character that make a face recognizable.

Dr. Yapa's listed training spans Paris, London and the United States, according to the practice's own website. International fellowship exposure of this kind is often valued because facial techniques vary between surgical traditions.

The practice describes itself as specializing in deep plane facelift and neck lift surgery, eyelid surgery, facial fat grafting and endoscopic facelift techniques. This cluster of procedures reflects a surgeon oriented toward the upper and midface as much as the jawline and neck.

Recovery is treated as part of the surgical plan at Yapa Plastic Surgery. The practice lists dedicated recovery and aftercare resources, reflecting an understanding that the weeks after surgery shape how patients experience their result.

Dr. Yapa is described as a consultant plastic surgeon registered with the General Medical Council, according to the practice website. GMC registration is the baseline legal requirement for any surgeon operating in the United Kingdom.

Professional membership connects Dr. Yapa to the wider surgical community. The surgeon is listed as a member of BAAPS (the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons) and ASPS (the American Society of Plastic Surgeons).

London itself shapes what patients can expect. As a global city with a long surgical tradition, it offers access to accredited private hospitals, experienced anaesthetists and established aftercare pathways.

Patients who consider Dr. Yapa typically arrive researching the difference between a deep plane facelift and older skin-only methods. The consultation is framed as an educational conversation rather than a sales appointment.

Comprehensive facial rejuvenation often means combining procedures. Many patients considering a deep plane facelift also explore neck lift surgery, eyelid surgery or fat grafting, and Dr. Yapa's practice lists all of these.

The character of Dr. Yapa's work, as described by the practice, is restraint. The goal is not a dramatic transformation but a quieter result that ages well and avoids the pulled appearance associated with aggressive techniques.

For women in their fifties and sixties, this measured philosophy matters. Facial aging affects not only the skin but the deeper structures beneath it, and the deep plane approach is designed to address that deeper change.

Dr. Yapa remains one surgeon among many experienced practitioners in London. This profile is intended to help you ask informed questions, compare approaches and decide whether this surgeon's focus matches what you are looking for.

In December 2025 I had Rhinoplasty with Dr Yapa. The process from start to finish was beyond expectations and the results are better than I could have ever expected. It has given me a whole new level of confidence. Dr Yapa and his team were available for questions and concerns at all times from consultation to post surgery and took me down a route of a natural result over a more mainstream idea. I couldn’t recommend him more.

Graham White

My chosen surgery was Deep plane facelift/neck lift, Upper and lower blepharoplasty plus brow lift. I am just 7 weeks post surgery and so happy to have made this decision! Firstly I got it right with my chosen surgeon - Mr Kshem Yapa! Meeting him for a consultancy was the key to moving forward. Very easy to talk to whilst giving me clear and thorough answers to all of my questions. There are many things I could say for your reassurance but in summing up, he’s brilliant, experienced, thoroughly professional and very caring! He also has a wonderful team around him who have delivered excellent post-op care. You want this with such important surgery so I strongly recommend you build Mr Yapa into your research. I am thrilled with the results so far and definitely have a new found confidence! If I am this happy after 7 weeks, I am super excited to see how I look and feel in a few months time! I will post another completion review at that point.

Revision deep plane facelift. My first overarching comment must be that not only is Mr. Yapa an exceptional surgeon achieving remarkable and authentic outcomes is also a kind, empathetic and very supportive man. In addition to the revision deep plain facelift, I had some smaller and ancillary facial procedures. Mr Yapa‘s protocol of holding two consultations prior to surgery in order to complete thorough examinations and to agree, through detailed discussion, the looked-for outcomes and the best means of seeking to achieve these was very welcome. This allows for a very useful period of reflection between consultations and, in my experience, a much better understanding of and increased confidence in the agreed-upon approach. I was cared for very well post-surgery, with 24 hour access to Mr Yapa‘s attentive medical support team and periodic reviews with Mr Yapa himself. Post surgery bruising was very much less than I was expecting and healing progressed very well such that within three weeks, I was back to my normal pace and activities. It is now three months since surgery and without hesitation or reserve I can say I am delighted with the results. I also know that there will be further “settling” and improvement over the coming months. Finally, I should praise the individuals in Mr Yapa‘s support team: from his professional administrative lead through his anaesthetist colleague to the post-surgery nurses taking care of me during the recovery period. As you will conclude from reading this review I highly recommend Mr. Yapa for those seeking the very best in modern aesthetic surgery.

Finding a surgeon with true integrity and someone you can completely trust with your face isn't easy. I had to look really hard to find that, and I feel very lucky to have discovered Mr Yapa. From the first consultation onward, his calm, straightforward manner reassured me that I was making the right decision, I opted for a deep plane face, neck and lateral brow lift, and am absolutely delighted with the result! I can see a significant transformation but somehow it all looks completely natural. Mr Yapa is an exceptional surgeon, but his patience, kindness, and understanding of what a big decision this was for me really set him apart. He was very generous with his time, answering all my questions and discussing everything thoroughly across several consultations, and this really helped me to feel confident in my decision. When we discussed options like a lip lift or fat transfer, he gave honest, balanced advice which helped me decide against them. He only wants what is genuinely right for his patients. I was also very impressed with the team he has around him, and everyone I met or communicated with has been very kind, extremely efficient, and reassuring. Because of this, I felt no anxiety at all on the day of my surgery and I walked into the anaesthetic room feeling completely calm and supported. Choosing Mr Yapa was the best decision I could have made and I am so grateful to him and his team for making the whole experience so positive.

What is the cost of a deep plane facelift with Dr. Yapa?
Dr. Yapa's stated deep plane facelift price is £26,500. Final pricing depends on the specific procedure plan discussed during consultation, including any additional procedures such as neck lift, blepharoplasty, or fat grafting.

What do patients say about Dr. Yapa?

Visit the official clinic website for the full street address, parking details, and directions from the nearest international airport.

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. Yapa provides a personalised recovery timeline during consultation.
How long do deep plane facelift results last?
How long results last has not been measured for all patients, and whether a deep plane facelift outlasts a SMAS or mini facelift is still debated (Khoury 2025). In one surgeon's 30-year series, patients who came back for a second facelift after a deep plane lift did so 10.9 years later on average (Levin & Frankel 2026); that counts only the patients who returned. Longevity also depends on individual ageing biology, sun exposure, smoking status, and skincare. Dr. Yapa can discuss expected outcomes for your anatomy during consultation.

Dr. Yapa has 20+ years of clinical experience in facial plastic surgery. Deep plane facelift is a signature procedure within the clinical practice.

Photos have been collated from public clinic sources.

The board certification shown (FRCS-Plast) is as listed in public sources and is not confirmed with the issuing board. The surgeon has a 5.0/5 rating on Google from public patient reviews.
