What the procedure involves.
Facelift (rhytidectomy) surgery in China is performed by board-certified plastic surgeons at top-tier hospitals and accredited cosmetic surgery centers. Chinese surgeons are renowned for their meticulous technique, particularly the deep-plane facelift method that delivers natural-looking, long-lasting results. With state-of-the-art surgical facilities and dedicated international patient departments, China offers premium facelift procedures at 50-70% less than Western prices.
Step by step.
Consultation & Facial Analysis
Detailed consultation with 3D facial imaging and analysis. The surgeon evaluates skin elasticity, facial structure, and discusses desired outcomes. A customized surgical plan is created.
Pre-Operative Preparation
Blood tests, medical clearance, and photography. Patients receive pre-surgery instructions including medication adjustments, skincare protocols, and fasting requirements.
Facelift Surgery
Under general anesthesia, incisions are made along the hairline and around the ears. The surgeon lifts and repositions the deeper facial tissues (SMAS or deep plane), removes excess skin, and closes with fine sutures for minimal scarring.
Recovery & Follow-Up
One to two nights in hospital for monitoring. Drains are removed within 24-48 hours. Sutures removed at 7-10 days. The surgeon provides post-operative care instructions and schedules follow-up appointments.
