Types of Facelifts

• Deep Plane Facelift - Dr. Chaowen Wu is a leading expert with years of experience performing deep plane facelift procedures. She always strives to deliver the best deep plane facelift Houston, TX offers. This comprehensive technique addresses deeper layers of the face, including the SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system). By lifting and repositioning the SMAS, the surgeon is able to achieve a more dramatic and longer-lasting result for patients with significant signs of aging.

• Deep Plane Neck Lift - This facial plastic surgery procedure focuses on the neck and jawline. Dr. Chaowen Wu tightens muscles, removes excess fat, and redrapes skin in these areas to create a more defined neck and lower face contour and deep plane neck lift. Dr. Wu’s many years of practicing this technique ensure that she achieves a natural-looking outcome that is in harmony with your overall facial aesthetic.

• Mini Facelift - This is a less invasive facial plastic surgery option that targets early signs of aging in the lower face and neck. This procedure involves smaller incisions and a shorter recovery time. It is often an attractive choice for patients who are looking to address mild to moderate facial imperfections.

• Eyelid Surgery Lift - An eyelid lift is a facial cosmetic surgery technique that addresses drooping upper eyelids, puffy lower eyelids, and under-eye bags. Dr. Wu's cultured blepharoplasty approach aims to create a more alert and youthful appearance while maintaining a natural look.

• Brow Lift (forehead Lift) – This is a facial cosmetic surgery procedure that rejuvenates the upper face by raising the eyebrows and smoothing out wrinkles and frown lines on the forehead. It may also help improve the appearance of drooping eyelids.

• Facial Fat Grafting – Facial fat transfer is a technique that uses the patient's own fat to restore volume and improve facial contour. Dr. Chaowen Wu skillfully harvests fat from areas of excess and strategically injects it into areas of the face that have lost volume due to aging. This treatment provides long-lasting results without the need for artificial fillers.

• SMAS Facelift - Although Dr. Wu does not perform this procedure, the traditional SMAS facelift has historically been the most common type of facelift that aims to address typical facial imperfections such as sagging skin, wrinkles, and loss of volume in the lower face and neck. Dr. Wu’s offers a more comprehensive Deep Plane Facelift approach that entails lifting and repositioning of underlying tissues, removal of excess skin, and tightening of muscles to create a smoother and more youthful facial contour.
