Facial Anti-Aging Treatment Frequently Asked Questions
When considering cosmetic surgery, you may have many questions. To help you better understand our services, procedures, and post-operative recovery, we have compiled the following FAQs. If you have any further questions, please contact us online or by phone.
Q: What preparations are required before surgery?
A: Before undergoing facial plastic surgery or anti-aging treatment, you will need a pre-operative evaluation, including a facial structure analysis, medical history, and general examination. You should also avoid taking aspirin and maintain a healthy sleep schedule. Your doctor will provide a detailed pre-operative guideline based on your individual needs.
Q: What is the difference between a face lift and wrinkle removal?
A: A facelift primarily surgically lifts sagging tissue and reshapes facial contours; wrinkle removal typically targets superficial wrinkles. We will tailor a comprehensive treatment plan based on your specific facial condition.
Q: What is the difference between Multi-Layer Complex Rhytidectomy (MCR) and traditional wrinkle removal?
A: MCR doesn't just address superficial wrinkles. Instead, it addresses the skin, fascia, fat, and other tissues layered according to the depth of facial aging, lifting and reshaping the entire structure for a more natural and long-lasting effect.
Q: How long after surgery can I return to my daily routine?
A: Most facelifts and anti-aging procedures allow you to return to your daily social life approximately 7–14 days after surgery. Swelling and bruising vary, and full recovery is usually achieved within 1–2 months.
Q: Will scars remain?
A: Our procedures use minimally invasive incisions, often concealed at the hairline or behind the ears. With proper postoperative care, scarring is generally not noticeable.
Q: Will the fat graft be absorbed? Will multiple treatments be required?
A: Autologous fat grafting has a certain absorption rate, generally remaining stable for three months after surgery. To ensure effectiveness, we carefully control the amount injected during the first injection and arrange necessary supplemental treatments based on absorption progress, resulting in a fuller, more natural-looking facial contour.
Q: Is the procedure safe?
A: All our procedures are performed by experienced chief physicians, staffed by professional anesthesiologists and sterile operating rooms. We conduct rigorous preoperative assessments to ensure safety and controllability.
Q: Is there a fee for a face-to-face consultation? How can I schedule an appointment?
A: Initial face-to-face consultations must be scheduled in advance, and we will arrange a time and appointment with the doctor based on your individual needs. The initial face-to-face consultation can be partially deducted from the cost of the surgery. Please contact the front desk or online customer service for details.
Q: Q: How long do the results of the treatment last?
A: For example, with face lifts and MCR techniques, the results can last 5–10 years, depending on individual health conditions, postoperative care, and lifestyle. Appropriate non-surgical maintenance procedures (such as radiofrequency or photoelectric treatments) can extend the duration of the results.
