DR. XIAO ZHONGYEFounder of the 9D Lifting System™Medical career spanning 27+ years
SHANGHAI · CHINAIs this relevant to you?
Start with the concern—not a preset procedure.
9D is not one fixed operation for every patient. A preliminary photo review helps identify whether a lifting direction, a deeper approach, another treatment or no treatment should be discussed.
Jawline
A less defined transition between the face and neck.
Neck laxity
Loose or descended tissue below the jaw.
Mid-face descent
Changes in support that deepen folds or create heaviness.
Tired appearance
A face that looks older or more tired than you feel.
Previous treatments
A need for doctor-led review after other approaches.
Real patient examples
Results should still look like you.

What 9D means
Lift. Reposition. Fix.
Rather than simply pulling surface skin tighter, Dr. Xiao evaluates changes in the skin, fat, ligaments and deeper support layers before planning the direction and extent of treatment.
Assess
Review structure, laxity, expression and previous treatment history.
Reposition
Design individualized lifting vectors around the patient’s anatomy.
Preserve
Aim to improve support while retaining recognizable features and natural movement.
The illustration is conceptual. It is not a surgical map and does not determine an individual treatment plan.
Doctor, setting and safety
A major decision deserves a clear medical process.
Treatment is confirmed only after an in-person consultation and medical evaluation in Shanghai. Your coordinator should provide the confirmed treating location, medical team information and relevant documentation before booking.
01Preoperative assessment
Health history, examinations and suitability review.
02Anesthesia planning
Confirmed according to the surgical plan and individual health condition.
03Clinical care
Operating-room standards, hospitalization and nursing as required.
04Recovery guidance
Follow-up instructions before and after the patient returns home.
All surgery involves risks. Potential benefits, limitations, alternatives and risks must be discussed with the treating doctor before consent.
Indicative plan range
Know the budget before you begin.
Pricing depends on the degree of laxity, treatment scope, surgical complexity and confirmed package. A lower price does not mean the same operation under another name.
For a more limited treatment scope when medically appropriate.
For the treatment direction most commonly discussed after assessment.
For more advanced laxity, broader scope or greater complexity.

Common questions.
Is 9D a non-surgical treatment?
No. This page describes surgical facial rejuvenation. The exact operative approach must be determined after medical assessment.
Can the doctor confirm my plan from photos?
Photos can support preliminary guidance only. The final recommendation requires an in-person examination in Shanghai.
How long will recovery take?
Swelling, bruising and recovery vary with treatment scope and individual healing. A personalized recovery estimate should be discussed after assessment.
Do I need to travel to China?
Yes. Consultation, examinations and treatment take place in Shanghai, China. Travel feasibility should be confirmed before booking.
Is the result guaranteed?
No medical result can be guaranteed. Individual anatomy, treatment scope, healing and postoperative care all affect outcomes.
