(2) temporal rhytidectomy: internal wrinkle is to eliminate or reduce the crow's feet. Crow's feet is a dynamic wrinkles caused by the orbicularis oculi muscle (the Secretary with eyes closed functional muscle) long-term contraction in the outer corner of the outer radially around by the outer corner. Incision also can choose the hair line, but also select the hair. After surgery to separate the skin, to deal with the orbicularis muscle, back on the release mentioning the tight skin disease to remove the excess part of the careful incision was sutured. The disadvantage is that the correction of crow's feet is not obvious, temples easy to shift.
Face and neck or expand 1/2 rhytidectomy: for wrinkles and sagging in the lower face, can eliminate or reduce the crow's feet, cheeks and neck wrinkles, folds and sagging, deep nasolabial fold . Incision along the front of the ear hidden ear ditch fold. Skin such as surgical separation musculoaponeurotic layer separation musculoaponeurotic first layer a larger force to move up tightly fixed, then astern fixed skin, so-called "two-way push forward tight to mention", postoperative availability of good "Restoring the younger" effect.

In addition, because of unresectable excess part, it is not suitable for higher (greater than 7 cm) were in the forehead.
5 small incision rhytidoplasty: endoscopic wrinkle technology "foreign" outside help to remove the endoscope under direct vision, the remainder of the advantages and disadvantages with the above endoscopic rhytidectomy. It is only suitable for wrinkles on the forehead between the eyebrows lighter, loose skin, or simply Brow.
Collagen or polytetrafluoroethylene filled rhytidectomy: collagen injections to fill rhytidectomy used collagen extracted from calf skin, can be used in the body after treatment. Cosmetic surgery injected into the dermis to eliminate deeper wrinkles and folds into the nasolabial folds, crow's feet, glabellar vertical lines. The method is simple, for the United States without suffering immediate after injection, wrinkles or to reduce or disappear.

Fill nasolabial fold, forehead wrinkles, crow's feet is one of the purposes of the ePTFE. Good and lasting effects, no absorption, allergic reactions to consider.
Laser resurfacing: The principle is the laser irradiation, the gasification tissue excess water, to eliminate the aging of the stratum corneum of the epidermis, dermal collagen fiber repair and regeneration, so that the skin balanced and fresh, to restore the elasticity of the skin tissue, eliminating the wrinkles.

Five, rhytidectomy with autologous stem cellAfter autologous stem cell wrinkle is I extract seeking beautiful dermal fibroblast stem cells in vitro amplification, purification, to a million times the number of cells using tissue engineering technology, under strict sterile conditions to return to the input to the I wrinkles dermal layer, three weeks to produce collagen, existing wrinkles is reduced gradually disappear, so as to achieve the purpose of wrinkles.
Six, the Ministry of relaxation AugmentationThe human body due to changes in aging skin, neck skin sagging, wrinkled, can be roughly the same neck lift technique, incision and facial rhytidectomy, simply increase the neck skin to peel range can be.
