Dr. Chao-Huei Wang

Dr. Chao-Huei Wang performs the deep plane facelift by dissecting beneath the SMAS layer — the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a fibrous sheet that links facial muscles to the overlying skin. This sub-SMAS approach is the defining feature of the technique. As of April 2026, this remains Dr. Wang's primary surgical focus at Dr. Shine Clinic.

The procedure begins with carefully planned incisions, typically hidden along the hairline and around the ear. From there, the surgeon works in a deeper anatomical plane than traditional facelifts that lift only skin.

Recovery from a deep plane facelift typically spans several weeks, with the most noticeable swelling and bruising occurring in the first one to two weeks. As of April 2026, Dr. Chao-Huei Wang's pre-operative guidance aims to prepare patients for this timeline at Dr. Shine Clinic.

During week one, patients generally rest at home, manage mild discomfort, and keep the head elevated to reduce swelling. Sutures and any drains are usually addressed within this early window.

International patients considering Dr. Chao-Huei Wang in Taipei should begin by confirming arrangements directly, since DEEPPLANE™ data indicates that zero Taipei surgeons currently list themselves as accepting international patients as of April 2026. Verification with Dr. Shine Clinic is therefore the essential first step.

Taiwan offers visa-free or visa-on-arrival entry for citizens of many countries for short stays, though requirements vary by nationality. Travelers should check current Taiwanese immigration policies well in advance.
