Facial Sagging / Jowls

1. Temporary redness / tenderness(common, resolves in 1-5 days); 2. Pinprick or burning sensation during treatment (tolerable; cold compress or topical anesthetic can be added); 3. Rare bruising or temporary surface irregularity (more likely with thread lifting / Sculptra®, resolves on its own within 1-4 weeks); 4. Excessive energy can cause fat atrophy / localized hollowing(Asian subcutaneous fat is thinner; rare under our physician’s protocols); 5. Results below expectation or individual variation in duration; 6. Rare nodules or inflammatory reactions from Sculptra® / thread lifting (incidence rate < 1%).

Pregnancy, breastfeeding, active facial infection or skin disease, unassessed severe keloid tendency, autoimmune disease, unassessed facial silicone/implants, severe coagulation disorders, recent unhealed facial surgery, unrealistic expectations (believing non-surgical can match a surgical facelift) — in these cases our physician will recommend postponement or suggest alternative plans, including referral for surgical consultation.

Honest disclosure: the sagging non-surgical aesthetics can address is approximately Mild to moderate(overall improvement of approximately 30-70%). Once skin redundancy is significant and the SMAS is severely lax, no amount of energy or threads can match the result of a surgical facelift. In such cases our physician will objectively communicate the non-surgical ceiling and discuss whether to consider surgical consultation — We will not push procedures we know cannot deliver.
