Hospital Scale & Background

Hospital Scale & Background

Shanghai Shengya Hospital (SY-DB) is a new landmark in the Shanghai medical aesthetics industry, established in 2025. The hospital operates as a Level 4 hospital, the highest classification for private aesthetic surgical institutions in China.

The hospital covers 8,000 square meters of modern, elegantly designed space. It is the only aesthetic hospital in Shanghai equipped with an in-house CT machine, capable of performing skull, chest, rib, and lung CT scans. This allows for precise preoperative assessment and significantly improves surgical safety.

The hospital is conveniently located only 4 kilometers from Hongqiao Station and Hongqiao Airport. Out-of-area license plates are permitted, making it easily accessible for patients traveling from other cities. The hospital also provides complimentary pickup and drop-off services, post-surgery care packages, and same-day refunds for eligible procedures.

Popular Procedures

A. Fascial Folding Malar Reduction (Apple Lift)

Core Principle:
This patented technique requires no surgical incisions and uses no threads. A specialized instrument creates multi-angle dissections at 45, 90, and 180 degrees within the deep fascia layer. These dissections safely release adhesions and ligaments that cause tissue drooping, creating space for repositioning. The malar fat pad is then moved back to its original youthful position and fixed using a unique fascial binding method.

Simple Analogy:
Like tying a knot in an overstretched rubber band to restore its original tension and length, this procedure shortens the patient’s own relaxed fascia to achieve fundamental lifting, rather than cutting the rubber band or tying another one around it.

Advantages:

· No incisions and no visible scars
· No foreign materials implanted
· Results are immediate – appearing 5 to 8 years younger after surgery
· Patients can return to work within 24 hours
· Results last between 3 and 5 years
· Natural facial expressions without any mask-like appearance

B. Endoscopic Midface and Forehead Lift

Core Principle:
Using small incisions of only 1 to 2 centimeters hidden within the hairline or in front of the ear, an endoscopic camera is inserted into the deep tissue layers. This camera acts as the surgeon’s electronic eye, providing magnified, high-definition visualization of internal structures including nerves, blood vessels, and muscles. The surgeon can then precisely dissect, lift, and fix the SMAS layer and other drooping soft tissues.

Target Areas:

· Sagging malar area (apple of the cheek)
· Deepening nasolabial folds
· Blurred jawline with loss of the youthful jawline definition
· Drooping mouth corners
· Restoring a clear and tight side facial profile

Key Advantages Over Traditional Lifts:

· Safer: The endoscopic view allows the surgeon to clearly identify and avoid delicate nerves and blood vessels, significantly reducing the risk of nerve damage and facial asymmetry.
· Less Invasive: Smaller incisions and more precise, limited dissection mean less tissue damage, less bleeding, and significantly reduced swelling after surgery.
· Natural Results: Because the deep supporting tissues are precisely lifted rather than simply pulling the skin tight, results are very natural. Patients retain full, natural facial expressions without any mask-like stiffness.
· Hidden Scars: All incisions are carefully designed to be hidden within the hairline or around the ears. Even with hair tied back, no scars are visible.
· Comprehensive: This technique can be combined with a forehead lift to address drooping eyebrows, asymmetry, forehead wrinkles, glabellar lines, and eyes that appear too close to the eyebrows.

C. UltraShape Plus Facial Lift Combination Treatment

Core Concept:
Many aging faces suffer from both sagging tissues and excess fat. A facelift alone lifts drooping tissues but may also堆叠多余脂肪, resulting in an unnatural appearance. UltraShape alone reduces fat but does nothing to lift loose tissues. Combining both treatments addresses the root causes of what is often called a hardened or puffy face.

Role of UltraShape:
Focused ultrasound technology selectively and permanently reduces the number of fat cells in targeted areas. This achieves volume reduction, body contouring, reduction of puffiness, and improved skin adhesion to the underlying tissue.

Role of the Facelift:
The facelift lifts and repositions the drooping SMAS layer and associated soft tissues, restoring them to their youthful positions. This achieves tightening, lifting, and clear contour definition.

Treatment Strategy:
The combination approach works by first using UltraShape for precise fat reduction and contour sculpting. Then, the facelift is performed to provide overall lifting and tightening. These two approaches attack the aging process from two different directions simultaneously.

Results:

· A synergistic effect where the combination is more effective than either treatment alone
· Elimination of the hardened face or puffy face appearance
· Sharp, clear facial contours combined with tight skin and completely natural movement

D. Permanent Aegyo-sal – Fascial Folding Technique

Core Principle:
Unlike fillers or fat grafting, this surgical technique folds the patient’s own orbicularis oculi muscle (the muscle responsible for closing the eye) and its overlying fascia to create a defined, natural-looking aegyo-sal. The aegyo-sal is the attractive bulge below the lower eyelid that becomes more visible when smiling.

Why It Is Called Permanent:
Because the result is structural and uses the patient’s own tissue, it lasts significantly longer than absorbable fillers such as hyaluronic acid or even fat grafts, which can be absorbed over time. The result typically lasts between 5 and 10 years or even longer, though gradual changes with natural aging may occur over time.

Procedure Overview:

· Preoperative design with precise marking of the desired aegyo-sal position, width, and shape based on the patient’s eye anatomy and facial harmony
· Local anesthesia for a comfortable, pain-free experience
· A hidden incision made either just below the lower lash line or inside the conjunctiva
· Precise dissection followed by folding of the orbicularis oculi muscle and fascia upward
· Secure fixation using non-absorbable sutures to hold the folded tissue in place
· Fine closure of the incision

Advantages:

· Extremely long-lasting results with one surgery providing benefits for many years
· No foreign materials, eliminating risks of rejection, allergic reaction, or filler migration
· Dynamic and natural appearance because the aegyo-sal moves naturally with smiling and other facial expressions
· Invisible scarring due to the carefully hidden incisions
· Slight improvement in lower eyelid laxity, contributing to a more youthful eye appearance

E. Scar-Free Fascial Swan Neck Lift

Target Concerns:

· Moderate to severe neck laxity
· Blurred jawline often described as double chin
· Visible platysmal bands (the two vertical muscle cords visible when looking down)
· Turkey neck appearance
· Neck wrinkles that reveal the patient’s age

Core Mechanism:
This technique targets the SMAS layer, working like reinforcing steel bars within a building to support drooping soft tissues from deep within. It precisely repositions the loose platysma muscle, excess fat, and sagging skin back to their youthful positions. Additionally, the procedure stimulates deep collagen regeneration, providing ongoing tightening and improvement in skin quality over time.

Why Choose This Technique:
Traditional neck lift surgeries require large incisions and leave noticeable scars. Injectable treatments provide only limited and temporary results. This scar-free fascial technique offers a minimally invasive, precise, and long-lasting composite solution. It directly addresses the root causes of neck aging and restores the elegant, swan-like neck curve and defined jawline without leaving any visible marks.
