Personalized Treatment Proposal

Personalized Facial Rejuvenation Plan

A tailored SMAS Lift approach designed for a comfortable, anxiety-free recovery.

Patient
Ms. Xiaoying Zhu
Lead Surgeon
Dr. Palapong Chayangsu, MD
Clinic Location
Bangkok, Thailand

Patient Summary

Ms. Zhu presents with mild-to-moderate laxity in the mid-to-lower face and jawline. While she has previously undergone a thread lift and maintains her upper face beautifully with neurotoxins, she is now seeking a more definitive, longer-lasting surgical solution for her lower facial contours.

Her primary goals are achieving a natural, refreshed V-shape without an over-pulled appearance, while avoiding aggressive techniques that require extensive downtime. Equally important is ensuring a highly supportive, anxiety-conscious post-operative experience, as she prefers to recover in a hospital setting with robust pain management and minimal restrictive garments.

Doctor's Assessment & Recommendation
Clinical findings and the rationale behind your treatment plan
Mid & Lower Face Laxity: Mild to moderate sagging is present. An Extended SMAS Lift is perfectly suited to lift the deeper structural layers, providing a smooth, V-shaped jawline without looking overly tight.
Upper Face Stability: The forehead and brow positions are currently excellent, effectively managed by your ongoing neurotoxin routine. No surgical intervention is recommended for the upper face.
Prior Thread Lifts: The previous placement of 14 threads will not impede or complicate the SMAS lift procedure.
Visible Facial Vessel: The small prominent vessel can be flattened and softened during the procedure, though it cannot be entirely removed due to underlying vascular structures.
Neck Skin Quality: While the lift will improve the structural contour of the jawline and upper neck, surface skin laxity on the neck is best addressed in the future with non-surgical energy devices (e.g., Ultherapy, Morpheus8).
