Victor Liu is by far one of the best surgeon’s around. It was my first time seeing him. I had a cyst size of a golf ball in the middle of my chest.

Facial aging is not only about wrinkles — it often reflects deeper structural changes in facial support, collagen architecture, and tissue positioning. Non-surgical facelift strategies focus on restoring facial structure, improving skin support, and enhancing natural contour while preserving each patient’s natural identity.

Facial aging occurs gradually as structural support within the face begins to change. Over time, several biological processes contribute to visible aging:
These changes often create the appearance of facial descent, flattening of the cheeks, and softening of facial contours.
The midface provides much of the structural support for youthful facial contours. Loss of support here can create flattening of the cheeks and deepening of nasolabial folds.
Changes in collagen and tissue support may soften the jawline, reducing definition and creating early jowling.
Loss of structural support in the lower face may affect balance around the mouth and chin.
Early structural aging may contribute to reduced definition beneath the jawline and under the chin.
