Face Young Facelift Surgery – A Signature Technique by Dr. CHEN Surgery Hospital International Center
At Dr. CHEN Surgery Hospital International Center, the Face Young Facelift is a signature surgical technique personally developed by Dr. Chen. This specialized procedure is designed to lift and tighten the skin and underlying facial and neck tissues, starting from the SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) layer. It effectively addresses wrinkles, sagging skin, and uneven textures, resulting in a naturally youthful and refreshed appearance.
The DCH Face Young Facelift targets multiple areas of the face, including the forehead, eye area, cheeks, and neck. Dr. Chen emphasizes discreet incisions, minimal scarring, and beautiful suturing techniques that result in less swelling and bruising, enabling patients to return to their normal routines with minimal downtime. The outcome is a naturally youthful look that can turn back the clock by up to 10 years.
What is the FACE YOUNG Facelift?
The FACE YOUNG Facelift is a comprehensive surgical lifting procedure designed to tighten loose skin and muscles affected by aging. It lifts the entire face—starting from the upper face, midface, and lower face, all the way down to the neck. By adjusting the tension in the underlying muscle layers, this method restores a smooth, firm, and youthful look. Each treatment is customized based on the patient’s individual condition to ensure a balanced, natural-looking result—neither overdone nor under-corrected.
Who is a Good Candidate for a Facelift?
FACE YOUNG Facelift Surgical Techniques
The facelift procedure, especially for the mid and lower face, is performed using two main techniques:
Technique 1: Mini Facelift
A Mini Facelift involves small incisions typically made on both sides of the face, from the temples down to the upper part of the ears. Through these small openings, the surgeon lifts and tightens the skin and underlying SMAS layer in the lower face. This technique is ideal for those with mild sagging, particularly around the nasolabial folds. It not only enhances skin firmness but also reduces fine lines and smooths out facial contours.
Technique 2: Full Facelift
A Full Facelift is a more extensive procedure that involves lifting both the skin and deeper tissue layers across the entire face. Incisions are made in front of the ears, around the earlobes, up to the temples, and down toward the neck. The surgeon lifts the skin and SMAS layer, removes excess tissue, and repositions everything for a firmer, smoother look. This technique is perfect for individuals with moderate to severe facial sagging, offering long-lasting and naturally youthful results.
Neck Lift Surgery
A Neck Lift targets sagging skin and tissue in the neck area. The procedure typically involves small incisions behind the ears and under the chin to lift and tighten the neck. It can also address double chins and excess neck fat. For those with significant fat accumulation and loose skin under the chin, a neck lift is often performed alongside a full facelift to achieve a more defined and youthful contour. Excess skin is removed, the SMAS layer is tightened along the natural lines, and incisions are discreetly hidden for optimal results.
FACE YOUNG Facelift Surgical Technique
The facelift technique for the middle and lower face consists of 2 methods.
Why is it important to lift deep into the SMAS layer?
A facelift is a popular surgical procedure today because it can restore youthful appearance to the face with noticeable results. But did you know that to achieve the best outcome, the facelift must reach the SMAS (Superficial Musculo Aponeurotic System) layer? So, what exactly is SMAS and why is it crucial for a facelift?
What is SMAS?
A facelift is a surgery that is widely recognized for its ability to restore youthful appearance. To achieve the most effective results, however, it is essential to pull deep into the SMAS layer. But what is SMAS, and why is it important for facelifts?
Why should we lift down to the SMAS layer?
Lifting only the skin layer may provide temporary results that are not sustainable, while reaching the SMAS layer helps to tighten and lift the face deeper, providing longer-lasting results. This is because SMAS controls the movement of the facial muscles. Lifting and re-arranging it restores the firmness and elasticity of the face, making it look youthful and refreshed.
Benefits of lifting to the SMAS layer:
- Long-lasting results: Lifting the SMAS layer gives a more durable outcome compared to just lifting the skin, helping maintain a youthful appearance for many years.
- Natural look: By re-arranging the muscle layers, the facelift results appear more natural, reducing the risk of overly tight skin or an unnatural look.
- Comprehensive rejuvenation: Lifting to the SMAS layer rejuvenates the face in every dimension, including skin tightening and muscle lifting, giving the face a youthful appearance from the inside out.

FAQ : Faceyoung Surgery
Post-Surgery Care After Facelift
- You may experience swelling after surgery. The doctor will prescribe medications to alleviate it, apply cold compresses to the face, and recommend sleeping with your head elevated for about the first 3 days.
- Keep your head elevated to reduce swelling and bruising post-surgery.
- Wait a little before washing your hair, especially around the scalp incision.
- Maintain a healthy weight as it affects the skin on your face.
- Avoid heavy exercise for at least 4 weeks to allow your body to fully recover. Support your face with a supportive garment.
- Follow the doctor’s advice on wound care and medication to minimize the risk of infection and accelerate recovery.
Things to Avoid After Facelift Surgery
- Avoid touching or picking at the incision area and keep it clean to prevent infection. If you notice abnormal swelling, redness, or bleeding, immediately consult the surgeon.
- Do not self-prescribe medications, as it could worsen the situation.
How long does it take to recover after a facelift?
Recovery from a facelift generally takes 1-2 weeks for the body to heal and reduce swelling and bruising. During the first week, swelling and bruising will be visible, and it is recommended to wear a supportive facial garment. Over the next month, the swelling will gradually subside. After 2-3 weeks, normal activities can resume, but avoid activities that may cause trauma to the face. Complete healing typically takes 6 months.
How long do facelift results last?
You may wonder how long the results of a facelift last. Typically, facelift results can last 7-10 years, depending on factors like age, skin condition, post-surgery care, and daily habits. However, keep in mind that a facelift cannot stop aging, but it slows down the aging process and restores youthful appearance. After 7-10 years, another facelift consultation can be considered.
How to Maintain Facelift Results
- Regular skincare with products suitable for your skin type and protecting the skin from the sun are essential.
- Eating a healthy diet rich in antioxidants like fruits and vegetables helps maintain skin elasticity.
- Regular collagen-stimulating treatments, such as facial massages to improve blood circulation, help prolong facelift results.
- Avoid factors that accelerate skin aging, such as smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and stress.
