Facelift
In the past, people's expectation for facelift surgery was to be able to “tighten the skin”, but the authority of facelift - Dean Chung-Ho Feng proposed a new concept that is completely different from the past, so that facelift can not only tighten the skin but also shape the face according to personal needs and thus complete the ideal of youth, so that after surgery, you can have a more ideal face shape than when you were young.

Customized Facelift Surgery
There is no best, only the best for you. Customized facelift is designed to be your own beauty, allowing you to freeze your age first and then reverse it.
During the consultation, we will first observe the client's face shape and do a series of preoperative evaluations. Understand the individual needs and cooperate with the photos of the clients when they are young to infer the evolution of the face shapes to make a personalized surgical plan, and use the soft tissue, that is, the subcutaneous fat and the special design of the SMAS layer to shape the ideal face shapes without changing the bones. First of all, we usually divide the face shapes into 6 categories before surgery:
◆ Long and Narrow Face Shape
◆ Long and Wide Face Shape
◆ Short and Narrow Face Shape
◆ Short and Wide Face Shape
◆ Normal Symmetrical Face Shape
◆ Asymmetrical Face Shape
Usually our clients can look 10 to 15 years younger after the facelift and the results can last for 10-15 years or more. The following is the application of Dr. Chung-Ho Feng in facelift for various face shapes:
“川” Pattern Endoscopic Forehead Facelift Case Sharing
The “川” pattern between the eyebrows is often mistaken for anger. After the forehead is lifted, in addition to the smoothness between the eyebrows, the distance between the eyebrows also makes the eyes more attractive. The picture above shows the follow-up 1 year and 5 years after the surgery.

What are the benefits of endoscopic facelift surgery
High-resolution endoscopic facelift is also known as “scarless facelift surgery”. It is carried out by means of endoscopy, which can magnify the image and see the state of the operation more clearly, so as long as a small wound is required, each step can be accurately performed. The wound and the blood loss is small, and the postoperative recovery can be faster and not easy to leave scars.
For this reason, Vendome Aesthetics Medical Center has introduced high-quality medical center-level endoscopes to perform endoscopic forehead lifts, endoscopic minimally invasive platysma tightening and endoscopic breast augmentation surgery.
Not only can the surgical incision be reduced, but also the surgical site can be clearly seen through the endoscopic lens, making the endoscopic facelift surgery more precise and faster. There is no need to make a large incision of the skin and there is less damage to the tissue, so the amount of bleeding and wounds can also be greatly reduced!
Traditional Facelift and New Concept of Youthful Facelift
Symptoms of facial aging (forehead wrinkles, drooping eyelids and eyebrows, crow’s feet, etc.) begin to appear slowly with age. The soft tissues and connective tissues in the body also begin to sag as a result of aging, especially the supporting ligaments and fascia. The key to many of non-invasive treatments (such as micro-plastic surgery, HIFU and RF) lies in the second-layer suspension system under the skin of the face, including:
｜Forehead muscles on eyebrows
｜Circular orbicularis muscle around the eyes
｜Fascia layer of middle and lower face
｜The platysma of the neck
Facelift surgery should actually be a concept of layered lift. First, the sagging muscles, fat and soft tissues, etc. are repositioned, then the slack fascia is re-tightened, and finally the slack epidermis is excised and sutured on the reshaped face. Such a gradual improvement method can be called a complete facelift.
A complete and precise facelift rejuvenation should not only lift the skin, it must be knead in the concept of layered lift. In particular, the homing of the deep fascia and supporting ligaments (returning to the position of youth), coupled with the relaxation and sagging of the skin, must be carried out separately for these 3 levels. Whether it is micro-plastic surgery or facelift surgery, it should be solved from the deep layer and deal the skin problem at the end.
哪些症狀適合做內視鏡前額拉皮手術
Endoscopic forehead lift is also known as “scarless facelift”. Endoscopic forehead lift serve 3 purposes:
1. Lift the end of the eyes and eyebrows to achieve the effect of \ firming muscles.
2. Reduce or clear the movements of the facial muscles, the head muscle, the frown muscle and the crow's feet.
3. Make the double eyelids and eyes look brighter.
However, if you want to achieve better results on the skin on the upper half of the face, you still need to rely on the second-stage autologous fat grafting to fill in the sunken parts to make it fuller, so that you can get a complete younger appearance.
What symptoms are suitable for middle and lower facelift or neck lift
Facial aging is a comprehensive problem. When you get older, the loss of collagen will cause the skin to become more and more slack and the face SMAS will become more and more sagging. The key points of the three-layer lifting surgery for the middle and lower face are:
Layer 1: Skin
Layer 2: High and extended SMAS
Layer 3: SMAS deep plane and intraoral fat
The sagging fat fascia layer is pulled back to its youthful position (reposition of the supporting ligaments). Due to different face shapes (thin, wide, narrow, long), there are different SMAS fascia layer firming skills and skin lifting designs.
In addition, endoscopic neck platysma tightening surgery is a specialized technique. The turkey neck problem can be effectively improved by suturing the separated loose muscles “without the need for a wound under the neck”.
Generally speaking, if the overall facial skin laxity problem is serious, it is still necessary to seek the treatment of endoscopic middle and lower face and platysma tightening surgery in order to obtain a more complete improvement.
Middle and Lower Facelift Scar Location
Almost no scars are visible before and after facelift surgery
The wound problem that many people worry about can be seen from the picture above. At the incision in front of the ear, the scar is almost invisible, and it can be seen from the circle that the earlobe is still in the same position and has not been pulled down.
Maintenance and Precautions for Post-Facelift Care
Facelift Surgery Recovery Time
7 days
10 days
About 20 days
21~28 days
First stage suture removal
◆ The second stage suture removal
◆ You can start applying light makeup.
◆ Able to engage in most social activities.
You can start to massage and take a bath.
◆ Most sports can be resumed.
◆ The appearance is already very natural.
Week 1: Acute Period of Surgical Recovery
Professional physicians will assist endoscopy and skilled techniques in the treatment, which can effectively reduce the amount of blood loss during the surgery, so the patient's postoperative swelling days will also be greatly shortened. But the first two days after surgery, that is, within 48 hours after surgery (regardless of the type of surgery) are the most swollen times.
At Vendome, the facelift patients had to be hospitalized overnight for observation. In the evening, the nurse will give the drip regularly and the patients will be invited back the next day after discharge to observe the condition. After stabilization, you can change the medicine at home by yourself. Wait until the seventh day after surgery to arrange a return visit for the first stage of suture removal.
To avoid affecting the speed of wound healing, try to avoid smoking, drinking or eating spicy food. Within 3 days after the surgery, please apply ice compress (the ice bag is covered with gauze or towel) according to the doctor's instructions. 10-15 minutes each time to reduce wound hematoma and pain, and do not do it while sleeping to avoid frostbite. Please try to avoid bending down and lifting heavy objects after the surgery to prevent bleeding and dehiscence of the wound.
At this time, a headgear must be worn to pressurize the surgical site. Please note that you must rest more during these 2 days and change your medicine regularly in the morning and evening.
Week 2: Surgical Recovery Period
After 10-14 days of surgery, you will be invited back for the second stage suture removal. The focus of recovery this week is probably to rest steadily. Generally speaking, the recovery period for extensive extensible high fascia facelift will ask the clients to estimate about 10-14 days, that is, after all the sutures are removed. 80% of the clients can already resume most of their social activities, and as long as a little makeup is applied on the appearance, the traces of the surgery are not visible. Start the week with light exercise and resume eating most healthy foods, but don't massage yet, let the tissues recover first before you start.
At this point, you can exercise lightly and resume eating most of the healthy food, but do not massage yet, please wait for the tissue to recover before starting.
Week 3: Scar Growth Period
About 20 days after the surgery, the subcutaneous tissue will recover, the scarring period will be obvious and the skin will feel swollen and tight. In appearance, it will look firmer, but you will feel very swollen because it is still in the swollen period, and strengthening the massage will reduce the feeling of tightness. In addition, you will feel your cheeks tingling, which is part of the recovery period. Because the fascia and suspension system of the face are repositioned, the sensation of the epidermis must take a little time to recover, and this sensation will last about 3-6 months, depending on the individual.
At this time, you can do some warm massage to increase blood circulation and relax the scar tissue. The temperature of the warm compress is about the acceptable temperature on the inside of the wrist, and the bath can be resumed at this time.
Week 4: Stable Recovery Period
The tissue is recovering this week and it is recommended to continue massage (once a day) to relax the scar tissue. In addition, most of the exercise can be resumed.
It looks very natural in appearance, but the swelling will go down again.
For most customers, it will recover about 50% in a week, 60-70% in 2 to 3 weeks and about 80% in 1 month. After 3 months of surgery, it will reach a relatively stable state. We can see a clear difference. Usually at this time the clients often forget what it looked like before. It seems that the lines are significantly reduced and the spirit is full.
A few other things to remind you:
1. Never apply ice immediately after the surgery: because the skin is not very sensitive at this time, if the ice is applied too much, it may cause frostbite. At this time, it will take more time and energy to wait for the skin to re-grow and sometimes there will be pigmentation, which will destroy the original perfect lift.
2. The skin feels numb after the surgery: the facial fascia and the suspension system are re-established and the feeling of the epidermis must take some time to recover. This feeling will last about 3-6 months depending on the person. Postoperative warm compresses and Vitamin B12 intake can aid recovery.
For most patients after the surgery, the recovery is about 50% in 1 week, 60-70% in 2 to 3 weeks and about 80% in 1 month. A relatively stable state was reached after 3 months.

Rejuvenation Facelift FAQ
Q: Is facelift only suitable for older people?
See answers: Facelifts are no longer only for older people, young people can also get facelifts. In recent years, more and more people in their 30s and 40s have undergone facelift surgery. These people usually have the idea of seeking the assistance of facelift surgery because the effect of regular RF and HIFU cannot keep up with the speed of aging, or because of the deep fascia relaxation caused by bone surgery.
Q: Is there an age limit for facelift surgery?
See answers: There is no age limit. Surgery can be arranged as long as you are in good health and can indeed be improved with a facelift after evaluation by your doctor.
Q: If I have had a facelift before but my skin is loose now, can I still do it again?
See answers: Of course, you can do it again, but the difficulty of the surgery will increase every time.
Q: What will affect the outcome of facelift surgery?
See answers: The location of the wound, the surgeon's peeling technique, the aspect of the lift, and the method of fixation will all affect the outcome of the facelift.
Q: Can facelift surgery change face shape?
See answers: Can. In the past, the cognition was to change the face shape by cutting the bone, but in recent years, there has been a new breakthrough in the facelift technology. In addition to lifting, facelift surgery can also change the shape of the face and improve the firmness of the deep structure of the body.
Q: Who is suitable for facelift surgery?
See answers: Facelifts can be performed at any age. Among younger patients, those who come to seek assistance with facelift surgery are usually dominated by 3 major groups. These groups can achieve satisfactory results through facelift surgery.
(1) Those who have received many micro-plastic surgery and are gradually dissatisfied with the effect.
(2) Those who do not want to undergo bone surgery.
(3) Those who have undergone bone contouring surgery and orthognathic surgery and have deep fascia laxity due to bone changes.
Q: How many years can the facelift surgery last?
See answers: A successful facelift can make a person look 10 to 15 years younger. However, the aging process will not stop, and after about 10 to 15 years, it may return to its original appearance.
Q: How big is the wound of facelift surgery?
See answers: Unless endoscopy is used, basically the wound won’t be too small, but not every part of the body is suitable for using endoscopy. The forehead (brow lift) and the temporal side (droopy canthus) are suitable for endoscopic treatment, but other parts may not be suitable. However, although there will be wounds in facelift surgery, skilled doctors will make the scars almost invisible, so it is important to seek experienced and skilled doctors.
Q: Are the wounds of facelift surgery obvious?
See answers: The wound is usually hidden in the hairline, behind the ears and in the hair. The wound will fade to invisible in about 0.5 year to 1 year.
Q: Should the size of the wound be the focus of consideration?
See answers: Wounds are inevitable. Skilled physicians must minimize the wound so that the scar is barely visible, so the wound should not be the focus of consideration. Some surgeries claim to be small wounds, but it may be to make a hole to bury the thread or directly pull the fascia layer, but these methods have no long-term effect.
