Face Lifting
Understanding the Western Technique vs. Asian Skin A traditional face lift is a surgical procedure involving long incisions designed to correct sagging and aging skin. This method typically requires general anesthesia and involves extensive cutting across the entire face to restore a youthful appearance. Consequently, the surgery is lengthy—lasting approximately 5 to 7 hours—and often results in significant pain and swelling that necessitates a mandatory hospital stay.
This aggressive approach requires extreme caution when applied to Asian patients due to fundamental physiological differences. Unlike Western skin, which is naturally thinner and wrinkles more easily, Asian skin is thicker, stronger, and possesses more durable pigmentation. To address these specific needs, Dr. Choladhis invented the Face-Lock™ Facelift Procedure a specialized technique designed to replace the traditional Western facelift and provide a safer, more effective solution tailored specifically for the structure of Asian skin.
Mini Face Lift
Advanced Surgical Development The Mini Face Lift is a specialized application of the Face-Lock™ facelift procedure, a technique developed by Dr. Choladhis as a progressive evolution of the traditional facelift. This method was created to address specific surgical needs and presents several key distinctions from standard procedures.
From Full Facelift to Face-Lock™ Innovation
- Local Anesthesia: By operating on specific sections, we successfully eliminate the risks and side effects associated with general anesthesia.
- Rapid Tissue Recovery: The use of significantly smaller and shorter incisions minimizes trauma, allowing blood vessels and tissues to heal at an accelerated rate.
- Superior Pain Management: The technique is so gentle that most patients describe the sensation merely as "tightness" rather than pain; many require no painkillers at all, or at most, simple paracetamol for one or two days.
