PERSPECTIVES FROM Dr. Hsieh

AI-assisted profile summary
naturallong-lastingharmonycustomizationevidence-based

Signature technique

At the core of Dr. Hsieh's practice is the deep plane facelift, a sophisticated technique Dr. Hsieh employs for comprehensive facial rejuvenation. This method involves working beneath the SMAS layer to meticulously reposition underlying tissues, aiming for a more natural and enduring result compared to procedures that primarily tighten skin. Dr. Hsieh demonstrates a nuanced understanding of deep plane approaches, referencing variations like composite and total SMAS deep plane facelifts in Dr. Hsieh's published work. This versatility allows Dr. Hsieh to tailor the depth and extent of dissection precisely to each patient's unique facial anatomy and specific needs, reflecting a modern shift towards more structural and long-lasting rhytidectomy outcomes.

Ask Dr. Hsieh about the technique

Recovery view

Dr. Hsieh places a strong emphasis on patient education regarding the recovery process following facelift surgery. Dr. Hsieh openly addresses healing timelines and the optimal timing for surgical intervention in Dr. Hsieh's educational writings and columns. This commitment to transparency ensures that prospective patients gain a comprehensive understanding of what the surgical journey entails before making a decision. Dr. Hsieh's approach is designed to prepare individuals thoroughly, helping them set realistic expectations for their post-operative period and understand the commitment involved in achieving their desired rejuvenation outcomes.

Who is a candidate

Cost & Value Context

Deep Plane Facelift in Kaohsiung

Kaohsiung offers a practical base for patients considering a deep plane facelift in southern Taiwan. As Taiwan's largest port city, it combines modern private medical facilities with a calmer pace than the capital, which suits a procedure that calls for several quiet days of recovery.

Recovery Expectations

Recovery from a deep plane facelift follows a broadly predictable timeline, though individual healing varies. In the first one to two weeks, swelling and bruising are most pronounced, and patients are advised to rest with the head elevated and to limit activity while sutures remain in place.

What is the cost of a deep plane facelift with Dr. Hsieh?
Dr. Hsieh's stated deep plane facelift price is $10,000. Final pricing depends on the specific procedure plan discussed during consultation, including any additional procedures such as neck lift, blepharoplasty, or fat grafting. Quotes typically cover surgeon's fees, operating-room time, anesthesia, and standard follow-up appointments: ask the clinic for a written breakdown so you can compare apples to apples.

Where is Dr. Hsieh located?
Dr. Hsieh practices at Meido Plastic Surgery Clinic (高雄美朵整形診所) in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. The clinic welcomes both local and international patients travelling for deep plane facelift surgery.

What is the recovery time for a deep plane facelift?
Recovery from a deep plane facelift typically involves 2-3 weeks of initial healing, with most visible bruising resolving within 7-10 days and sutures removed at days 7-10. International patients can generally travel home after 10-14 days once swelling has stabilised and wound checks are complete. Most patients return to desk work at 2-3 weeks and to exercise at 4-6 weeks. Final results become visible after 3-6 months as deep tissue swelling fully resolves. Dr. Hsieh provides a personalised recovery timeline during consultation.
How long do deep plane facelift results last?
How long results last has not been measured for all patients, and whether a deep plane facelift outlasts a SMAS or mini facelift is still debated (Khoury 2025). In one surgeon's 30-year series, patients who came back for a second facelift after a deep plane lift did so 10.9 years later on average (Levin & Frankel 2026); that counts only the patients who returned. Longevity also depends on individual ageing biology, sun exposure, smoking status, and skincare. Dr. Hsieh can discuss expected outcomes for your anatomy during consultation.

Yes, Dr. Hsieh has 1 before and after photo sets on their DEEPPLANE™ profile, showing a range of ages, anatomical starting points, and result timelines.

Is Dr. Hsieh verified on DEEPPLANE™?
Dr. Hsieh has verified ownership of their DEEPPLANE™ profile, and we confirmed control of the practice email domain. The surgeon has a 5.0/5 rating on Google from public patient reviews. That is the whole of what the verified badge attests. DEEPPLANE™ reads two public provider registers, the US NPPES registry and the ABFPRS physician finder, and screens US surgeons who carry an NPI against the HHS OIG exclusion list every week; it does not query any board of certification, any national licensing body or any society roster, does not check identity documents, does not authenticate before/after photographs, and does not monitor licence status.
