The Snatched Lift™
A revolutionary endoscopic facelift, exclusively pioneered by Mr Ali Ghanem. The Snatched Lift™ is a next-generation facelift technique offering dramatic lifting with minimal downtime and crafted for clients who expect more than the ordinary.
The New Era in Facial Rejuvenation
The Snatched Lift™ is a revolutionary evolution of the traditional facelift – developed and refined by Professor Ali Ghanem to meet the expectations of a new generation of discerning clients. Using advanced endoscopic techniques, this procedure delivers powerful lifting effects to the brow, midface, jawline and neck – all through discreet, minimally invasive incisions.
With reduced operating time, less swelling, and dramatically quicker recovery, the Snatched Lift™ offers a sophisticated alternative to older methods. It is ideal for those seeking natural, lifted results without the stigma or downtime of conventional surgery.
Benefits of an Endoscopic Facelift at Cranley Clinic
The Snatched Lift™ is ideal for patients in their 30s to 50s who are seeking refined enhancement rather than full-face overhaul. Whether you’re camera-facing or simply wish to look well-rested and contoured, the Snatched Lift delivers natural elegance, not surgical obviousness.
The Cranley Clinic Process
Consultation & Planning
Every Snatched Lift journey begins with a one-to-one consultation with Mr Ali Ghanem himself. This is a rare opportunity to be assessed by the pioneer of the technique and globally recognised expert in endoscopic facelifting. During your consultation, Mr Ghanem will carry out an in-depth facial analysis, discuss your aesthetic goals, and advise whether this procedure is right for you. Together, you’ll create a bespoke plan designed to enhance your natural beauty.
Pre-Operative Preparation
Once your treatment plan is confirmed, our team will guide you through a discreet pre-operative process. This includes a full health screening, photographic documentation, and preparation guidelines tailored to your lifestyle. You’ll be given clear instructions on medications, skincare, and recovery arrangements to ensure you’re fully informed and confident ahead of surgery.
The Procedure
The Snatched Lift™ is performed under general anaesthetic and typically takes 4 to 6 hours. Using state-of-the-art endoscopic instruments and hidden incisions behind the hairline, Mr Ghanem repositions deep facial tissues for a lifted, youthful appearance, without the need for traditional open surgery. This advanced approach reduces trauma, eliminates visible scarring, and achieves dramatic yet natural results, often in half the time of conventional facelifts.
Aftercare
Following surgery, you’ll be looked after in a calm, private recovery setting with direct access to our expert nursing team. Your comfort and discretion are our priorities. Detailed aftercare instructions are provided, and you’ll have ongoing access to our team for any questions or concerns. Follow-up appointments with Mr Ghanem are scheduled at regular intervals to monitor healing and optimise results.
Recovery Timeline
Most clients return home on the same day or after an overnight stay. You can expect visible swelling and tightness for the first 1–2 weeks, with sutures removed at 7 days. By week 3–4, you’ll begin to enjoy the full aesthetic transformation. Final results continue to refine over the following months, with most clients resuming high-profile work or social events within 4–6 weeks.
Clinical Insight
Endoscopic Facelift Considerations, Clinically Addressed
What makes the Snatched Lift different from a traditional facelift?
Unlike traditional facelifts that often involve extended incisions and skin pulling, the Snatched Lift uses endoscopic access points to lift the deeper facial layers (SMAS) with less disruption. The result is a clean, sculpted look – not a tight or altered one.
Is this procedure suitable for all age groups?
This technique is particularly effective for patients in their 30s to 50s who show early to moderate signs of facial descent but do not yet require a full facelift or neck lift.
What is the recovery like?
You can expect swelling for around 7–10 days and return to most activities within two weeks. Scars are hidden in the hairline and fade discreetly over time.
How long do the results last?
On average, results last 8–10 years. Longevity depends on lifestyle, skin quality, and individual ageing processes.
Will I look drastically different?
Not at all. The goal of the Snatched Lift is rejuvenation — not transformation. You will still look like yourself, only more refreshed, defined, and confident.
