The doctor behind the plan

Experience matters. Judgment matters more.

Dr. Xiao’s approach begins with what should be preserved: facial identity, expression, proportion, and the patient’s own priorities. The procedure name comes after the anatomical assessment.

Structural assessmentLower face, midface, jawline, neck, previous treatment, and scar history are reviewed together.
Medical restraintA responsible recommendation may include a different direction, postponement, or no surgery.
Natural expressionThe objective is not maximum tightness but a refreshed, recognizable face.
Continuity of carePlanning, early rounds, discharge guidance, and remote follow-up form one pathway.

Two lifting approaches · one individualized plan

The difference is incision and surgical plane—not a simple age label.

9D Facelift and 9D Deep Plane Facelift are distinct operations. Facial liposuction may be combined with either when fat distribution is obscuring the jawline.

Hidden smaller-incision approach

9D Facelift

Designed around strategically hidden, smaller incisions with an effective lift and comparatively faster early recovery for suitable patients.

  • Smaller, discreet incision strategy
  • Lift direction customized to the face
  • Natural expression and identity prioritized
  • Can be paired with facial liposuction when indicated
Explore 9D Facelift ->
Larger-incision deep fascial approach

9D Deep Plane

Uses a larger incision approach to access and reposition the fascia and deep-plane tissues, with a more involved surgical and recovery pathway.

  • Deep fascia / deep-plane repositioning
  • Larger incision and broader access
  • More involved early recovery expectations
  • Can be paired with facial liposuction when indicated
Explore 9D Deep Plane ->
Optional contour component

Facial liposuction helps re-establish a clearer jawline.

Lifting repositions support; liposuction addresses selected fat deposits that blur the mandibular border. Either lifting approach may be combined with liposuction, but the need and extent must be confirmed in person.

Real patient stories

Recovery shown as a journey—not a single perfect photo.

These patients authorized publication of their images. The stage, lighting, makeup, angle, and individual healing all matter; another patient’s result cannot predict yours.
