In Dr. Shirley Hu's own words

How Dr. Shirley Hu describes their own approach, from their Instagram posts. Each statement links to the original.

Specialization

  • The doctor performs custom deep neck lifts and Renuvion skin tightening procedures.
  • Specializes in Facial Plastic Surgery.
  • Performs Face/Necklift procedures.
  • Performs Rhinoplasty procedures.

Technique

  • I design a special incision that hides along the naturally occurring creases of the base of your nose
  • Dr. Shirley Hu's taping technique involves cutting strips of tape and starting with shorter strips for the top of the nose, then using progressively longer strips, typically four or five pieces in total.
  • I close the wound very carefully with layers of sutures, which gently pulls the upper lip up and achieves that increased lip show

Training & credentials

  • I’m grateful to have extensive experience with patients of Asian descent

Recovery guidance

  • So I'll be demonstrating how to tape your nose after a rhinoplasty
  • However, if that's not possible, you have social obligations whatnot, then just a minimum I want you to tape at night while you're asleep and remove it in the morning
  • I usually recommend this after the cast comes off at one week and the best way to do it is to keep it taped up for a few days at a time and then change it out every two to three days

Results

  • The doctor's extensive experience with patients of Asian descent allows them to create rejuvenating results that also preserve ethnic identity.

Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Shirley Hu

Sourced directly from Dr. Shirley Hu's social posts and replies.

What does a lip lift achieve?
A lip lift shortens the space between the nose and upper lip, increasing lip show, creating more youthful and balanced proportions, and preserving your natural lip shape.

What are Dr. Hu's aesthetic goals for Asian eyelid surgery?
For upper Asian eyelid surgery, the goal is creating a natural, well-positioned double eyelid crease while preserving the eyelid’s characteristic fullness. For lower Asian eyelid surgery, the objective is reducing puffiness and smoothening the lid-cheek junction while maintaining a youthful contour without looking overcorrected.

What is the recovery and expected outcome for deep neck sculpting and Renuvion skin tightening?
Results from deep neck sculpting and Renuvion skin tightening can be evident at three to six months post-procedure, leading to a beautifully defined jawline and exceptionally sharp necklines.

Who is a candidate for a deep neck lift and Renuvion skin tightening?
Patients with a genetic predisposition to a lack of desired jawline contour are good candidates for procedures like a deep neck lift and Renuvion skin tightening.

Why choose an extended deep plane face and neck lift over minimally invasive techniques?

Industry Payments

Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

Total received (2024)

$436

Payments

8

Compared to peers

Small

Dr. Shirley Hu received $436 across 8 payments in 2024. That is in the lower half for physicians here — totals this size are typically meals at sponsored talks. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, and the largest single payer was REVANCE THERAPEUTICS, INC..

What this means for your care

  • A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
  • Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
  • Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
  • A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”

What areas of care does Dr. Shirley Hu cater to?
Dr. Hu specializes in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery. Her expertise includes procedures like rhinoplasty, neck lifts, scar removal, and Botox. She caters to patients seeking both aesthetic enhancements and reconstructive solutions for the face. The practice maintains the highest standards at its QUAD A–accredited surgical facility. Dr. Hu's philosophy for rhinoplasty is to achieve results that are both dramatic and subtle, enhancing the patient's features without erasing their natural look. She emphasizes the importance of proportions, aiming for softer, more feminine, and symmetrical nostril changes, and a balanced nasal tip, believing these subtle changes can be highly impactful. Her primary goal in aesthetic practice is to develop judgment for patient treatment decisions, rather than simply memorizing information. The practice has an obsession with K-Beauty, influencing their aesthetic approach. Dr. Hu believes that even millimeters can have a significant effect on outcomes, highlighting her precision. She approaches Asian eyelid surgery as a specialized field, requiring a deep understanding of the unique anatomy and aesthetics of the Asian eyelid. Every crease is customized to complement the patient’s facial features, eye shape, and individual anatomy, acknowledging the technical demands of these subtle differences. This allows her to create rejuvenating results that also preserve ethnic identity. Dr. Hu finds transformations particularly meaningful when they address a patient's genetic predispositions that caused a lack of desired natural contour. Her approach to neck contouring involves meticulously addressing the muscles, fat, and glands. For facelifts, she focuses on releasing retaining ligaments that have been pulling facial tissues downward for years. She has expertise in revision lower blepharoplasty, which she describes as requiring 'a little finesse'.
