What is an Asian Facelift?
With age, comes wisdom. However, it also includes some negative side effects, like wrinkles and saggy skin. Dr. Brandon-Dzung Mang is proud to offer Asian facelift surgery to meet the needs of his patients. Often, patients of Asian descent have thicker skin, which requires a specialized technique to achieve the desired cosmetic results. Even though this thickness prevents fine lines and wrinkles, you may still experience drooping facial features. Using deep facelift techniques, Dr. Mang can help rejuvenate the complexion so it looks more youthful. The deep facelift will also target the buccal fat pads on the cheeks, which tend to look more prominent for Asian patients. During your surgery, Dr. Mang strives to provide a natural look while understanding your unique heritage. Please schedule a consultation at Rejuve Aesthetic Surgery in Tampa, FL to learn more.
