Asian Facelift

How Is an Asian Facelift Different?

Asian skin tends to be thicker and less prone to sagging. Due to these characteristics, the Asian facelift is less invasive than a traditional facelift. Depending on your anatomy and cosmetic needs, various techniques are available for an Asian facelift.

What Are My Options for an Asian Facelift?

Minimally Invasive Lower Facelift

Dr. Chan or Dr. Haena Kim will surgically reposition and tighten underlying facial tissue. The results look natural and are long-lasting. This technique is comparable to the Lifestyle lift, Quicklift, or MACS lift.

Traditional Deep Plane Facelift

The deep plane facelift is less commonly performed as Asians tend to have anatomy and an aging process that lends itself to minimally invasive lower facelifts.

Brow Lift

For patients looking for a less drastic rejuvenation, a brow lift can tighten and smooth the skin around the eyes, eyebrows, and forehead.

What Can I Expect After an Asian Facelift?

Recovery time will vary depending on the procedure chosen. The deep plane surgical facelift will require the longest downtime. Dr. Chan or Dr. Kim will carefully review all of your postoperative instructions before and after the procedure. Be sure to carefully follow their instructions to avoid complications and insure a speedy recovery.

How Much Does an Asian Facelift Cost?

Since a facelift is a cosmetic procedure, the cost will not be covered under your insurance. At your initial Asian Facelift consultation, we can discuss all of your pricing and financing options for surgery.

Asian Facelift FAQ

How do I find the best plastic surgeon for a facelift?

Asian facelift surgery is a highly specialized procedure that requires in-depth understanding of facial anatomy and aesthetics. When choosing the best surgeon for you, look for one who:

• Is a board-certified facial plastic surgeon, ideally a double board-certified surgeon (facial plastic surgery and otolaryngology)
• Has extensive experience in Asian facial plastic surgery
• Uses customized techniques for natural-looking results
• Has natural-looking before and after photos and positive patient reviews
• Is easy for you to talk openly with
• Listens to your goals and answers your questions

By doing your research and consulting with multiple surgeons, you can find a skilled professional who will ensure your surgical experience is rewarding.

Can I safely combine Asian facelift surgery with other procedures?

Experienced facial plastic surgeons like Dr. Chan and Dr. Kim can safely rejuvenate your appearance with a combination of procedures without impacting the desirable characteristics of your ethnicity.

Will my results be permanent?

While the results of a facelift are long-lasting, about 8 to 10 years for a traditional facelift and 10 to 15 years for a deep plane, the surgery cannot stop the aging process. Regardless, you will continue to look younger than if you had not had the surgery.

How much younger will I look after facelift surgery?

Facelift patients can expect to look approximately 10 years younger after the procedure, which varies with technique, age at the time of surgery, and other factors.
