For 24 years, "Xiao Lin" carried more than just a facial scar—she carried the weight of self-consciousness. A childhood accident left a deep depression on her cheek, a reminder that persisted despite two failed fat-grafting attempts elsewhere. Then she found Ruijin Hospital's Burn, Plastic & Wound Repair Department.
The Challenge: This wasn't a simple "fill the hole" case. CT scans revealed the truth: extensive scar tissue adhesions, necrotic fat, and skin fused to muscle beneath the surface.
The Ruijin Solution: Led by Deputy Chief Physician Yi Lei, our team crafted a bespoke plan: Micro-needle Scar Release + Abdominal Liposuction + Autologous Fat Transplantation.
Precision as Our Guide: We mapped her facial anatomy like a surgeon's GPS, using CT imaging to pinpoint adhesion zones and crucially, to avoid every major nerve and blood vessel—because safety is the foundation of beauty.
The Art of Discreet Healing: The 2mm liposuction incision was hidden within her navel. The result? No visible scars, just restored confidence.
The Outcome: The depression was smoothed. Her skin regained its glow. "Now I finally dare to wear my hair in a ponytail," she shared. This was more than a physical repair; it was the return of a young woman's confidence.
