My Facelift Concierge Service grew from something very personal to me: I know how much goes into looking after someone properly.
My role is to become your right hand in the days after your facelift, working alongside your medical team, not replacing them.
The Concierge Service can begin before your surgery and continue once you are home.
I am the person making sure that everything around you is taken care of.
Because after a facelift, even very simple things can feel like a lot. Getting dressed. Preparing food. Keeping the house organised. Remembering appointments. Getting in and out of the car. Making sure you have what you need beside you. Having someone there when you simply don't feel like doing anything yourself.
And while your husband, wife, children or friends may love you enormously, asking them to suddenly become your driver, cook, organiser, appointment coordinator and constant support person is a big ask.
That is where I come in.
I'm there so that you can rest and your family can simply be your family.
For me, the Facelift Concierge Service isn't about luxury for the sake of luxury.
It is about comfort, organisation, discretion and peace of mind during a time when you don't want to think about anything except getting better.
Your medical team looks after your surgery.
I look after everything around you.
I studied nursing, but I am not a registered nurse or a doctor, and I am not registered with Ahpra. I am a cosmetic laser and skin practitioner. I do not diagnose or prescribe.
Ideally, I like to begin 6 to 12 months before a facelift, depending on your skin and how much preparation we feel you need.
For many of my long-term clients, we have already been working towards this for years. By the time you decide that a facelift is right for you, your skin may already be in beautiful condition.
This gives us time to prepare your skin properly, depending on your skin and your surgeon's advice, while establishing a beautiful, personalised skincare routine.
A facelift addresses the structure of the face. My work is different. I can spend the months beforehand improving the things that surgery itself doesn't necessarily address: pigmentation, vascularity, sun damage, blemishes, texture and overall skin quality.
The goal is to have your skin looking as healthy, clear and refined as possible before you ever walk into the operating theatre.
Your surgeon is responsible for the surgery. My role is to prepare the skin and make sure you arrive at that surgery having done everything appropriate to give your skin the best possible starting point.
Before your facelift, I meet with you and go through exactly what your surgeon and medical team have instructed. I want to understand your appointments, your dietary requirements and everything you are likely to need once you are home. We prepare your home and organise the practical details beforehand, so that when you arrive home, you can concentrate on resting.
That means I can arrive prepared rather than trying to work everything out once you are already home.
Once you are home, I become your extra set of hands for the practical side of things.
I can help you settle in and make sure everything you need is within easy reach.
I can prepare your meals according to your dietary needs. To begin with, that may mean soft or puréed foods, and we can gradually move towards softer, more substantial meals as you feel better.
I can also assist with basic personal organisation, help keep your surroundings clean and comfortable, and assist you with the practical things that suddenly become surprisingly difficult after surgery.
I can help keep everything you need organised, clean and close at hand.
Where recommended by your medical team, I can help coordinate your appointments.
My job is to make the days after your surgery as comfortable, calm and well organised as possible, so you can concentrate on resting.
The Concierge Service grew naturally from the relationship I already have with my clients and the years I've spent caring for their skin.
When my clients started asking me, "Who is going to look after me once I'm home?", I realised there was an opportunity to provide something very different from a standard aesthetic service.
I continue to run my clinic, so I keep this service very personal and very limited.
I want you to have someone beside you who already knows you, knows your skin, understands your routine and knows what you have been working towards.
Ultimately, I think the most important part is trust.
You are going through something deeply personal. You may not feel like yourself for a little while. You may be tired, emotional or simply want someone quietly nearby who understands what you're going through.
I'm there to make things easier. To take care of the things you don't need to think about. And to give you the reassurance of knowing that someone is there.
My Facelift Concierge Service is designed to support you after your surgery and make life easier while you rest. It is not a substitute for medical or nursing care.
I do not diagnose complications, prescribe medication, change your medications or make medical decisions about your care. I don't remove drains or make changes to surgical dressings.
Your surgeon and medical team remain responsible for all medical decisions and medical care. I take my direction from them and follow their instructions carefully.
If something unexpected or concerning happens, I will contact your medical team or emergency services as appropriate. I am not providing 24-hour medical supervision, and I want you to have the appropriate medical support available whenever it is needed.
I'm also not a general household cleaner, babysitter, personal assistant or domestic service. My focus is you and your comfort.
This is not a general service for every type of surgery. I created it specifically around the facelift journey and the clients I already care for in my clinic.
I think the most important thing is that you know you can rely on me without expecting me to step outside my role.
Your medical team leads. I follow.
There is a very clear line to my role.
I do not provide medical care.
Your surgeon and medical team are responsible for your medical care. I am responsible for supporting you through it.
Before or after your surgery, I only treat you once your surgeon has confirmed in writing that it is safe, and I follow their timing. I do not care for wounds, stitches, drains or dressings, and my treatments do not replace your surgeon's or nurse's care. If anything worries you after surgery, please call your surgeon first.
At the moment, I'm offering my Facelift Concierge Service throughout Sydney and the surrounding suburbs of New South Wales.
Because this is such a personal service, I prefer to keep the area relatively close to Sydney so I can be there when you need me and give you the level of care and attention I'm promising.
If you're outside Sydney or elsewhere in New South Wales, please get in touch with me. Depending on your location, timing and what you need, we can discuss whether I'm able to provide the service.
And if you're outside New South Wales, I'm happy to have a conversation with you as well. Some arrangements may be possible depending on the circumstances.
This service is deliberately small and personal, so availability and travel are discussed with you before we make any arrangements.
Because everyone's needs are different, I don't price my Facelift Concierge Service by the hour. I prefer to work with you on a complete plan, so you know what you are investing in from the beginning rather than watching the clock.
The exact investment depends on how much support you need, how many days you would like me with you and how much travel and coordination is involved.
For a typical Sydney facelift, I would generally structure the service as a bespoke package for the days after you come home, when you are likely to need the most practical support.
This can include:
A typical Sydney concierge package would be approximately $3,000 to $4,500, depending on the level of support and travel involved.
If you would like a shorter period of support, or you are travelling from outside Sydney or New South Wales, I can create a bespoke arrangement around your needs.
I don't want to make this feel like a taxi meter running beside your bed. You are investing in having someone you trust there to take care of the practical details while you rest.
We discuss exactly what you need before your surgery, agree on the investment and make sure everything is organised before you come home.
Call me for a clear picture of current pricing.
You don't realise how much the little things matter until you're home after surgery.
The thing I find myself repeating is that the days at home after surgery are when having someone you trust beside you can make such a difference.
You can simply rest.
For me, that is really what the Concierge Service is about: taking care of the details, so you can take care of yourself.
Most clients choose a few days at home, when practical support is most valuable. I can tailor the length of the service to your individual needs.
Results vary from person to person.
