Services
Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty reshapes the nose to improve aesthetics and function. Dr. Yu addresses dorsal humps, asymmetry, or breathing issues caused by a deviated septum. Patients achieve balanced facial harmony and enhanced airflow. Recovery takes 1-2 weeks, with final results visible after a year.
Facelift
Facelifts reverse aging signs by tightening skin and muscles. Dr. Yu offers traditional and mini facelifts to address jowls, sagging, and wrinkles. Results last 2-10 years, with recovery ranging from 3 days to 2 weeks. Combines with eyelid or brow lifts for comprehensive rejuvenation.
Brow Lift
Brow lifts elevate drooping brows to refresh the upper face. Dr. Yu uses endoscopic or traditional techniques to smooth wrinkles and open the eyes. Recovery lasts 1 week for endoscopic procedures. Ideal for patients seeking a youthful, alert appearance.
Cheek Implants
Cheek implants enhance facial definition by adding volume to underdeveloped cheekbones. Dr. Yu uses silicone implants placed through hidden incisions. Recovery involves 7-10 days of swelling, with permanent results. Popular for patients seeking long-term facial balance.
Chin Augmentation
Chin implants improve jawline projection to correct weak chins. Dr. Yu tailors implants to individual anatomy, with recovery in 5-7 days. Addresses aging or genetic imbalances, enhancing profile aesthetics and facial symmetry.
