In a society already highly image-conscious, the rise of Zoom meetings and online social and workspaces has made us all even more keenly aware of how we look. Seeing our faces on screen more often has caused us to reexamine our features. Flaws related to aging become all the more exaggerated, and we may be inspired to consider a surgical procedure as part of our personal makeover. 

Facial plastic surgery procedures have been providing clients with enhanced self-confidence and a sense of security in their appearances for decades. Today, most patients prefer natural-looking results that are subtle, nuanced, and sophisticated. So what exactly are the top facial surgeries that patients choose to undergo? Below we will explore the most popular options for maximizing your unique attractiveness.

#1: Facelift Facelift surgery never goes out of style. It is considered the gold standard in facial rejuvenation, thanks to its long-lasting results. During the procedure, definition in the jawline is improved, the cheeks are tightened and smoothed, and the jowls are firmed. While there are several different types of facelifts, from the mini lift to the deep plane facelift, the goal is always to achieve a more youthful appearance without sacrificing natural beauty and facial spontaneity. 

#2: Rhinoplasty When the nose is too large for the face, it can distract from the smile and the eyes. Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure to reshape the nose and improve structural issues. It can help to refine the bridge, tip, and nostrils, improving the patient’s self-confidence and quality of life. Rhinoplasty incisions can either be inside the nose (closed approach) or at the base of the columella (open approach).

#3: Blepharoplasty – The eyes are the first point of contact, and when age-related sagging, lines, and puffiness begin to encroach, the facial expression can become distorted. Blepharoplasty, better known as eyelid surgery, can restore the brightness of the smile by elevating drooping upper lids and combating excess fat and skin in the lower lids. The incisions are inconspicuously hidden within the creases of the upper lids or the lower lash lines. In some cases, blepharoplasty can even help to reverse vision obstruction caused by low-hanging lids.

#4: Brow lift – Do you find yourself looking tired, angry, or sad even when you’re in terrific spirits? If so, drooping brows may be the cause. A surgical brow lift can beautifully restore the forehead and brow area so that you look just as youthful and vivacious on the outside as you feel on the inside. Brow lift surgery is often well-combined with blepharoplasty to comprehensively improve the upper face and revolutionize the smile.

#5 Neck lift – While many people are focused on the face as the primary area where aging occurs, if patients do not also address the neck, their facelift results may not have the intended positive effect. A neck lift can help to reduce vertical neck banding, wrinkles, and a loss of skin elasticity. The surgery may also be able to reduce stubborn submental fat that obscures the profile and lowers self-confidence.

What is the takeaway?

Whether you are concerned with diminished definition in the jawline, or you are unhappy with the shape of your nose, facial plastic surgery presents a long-lasting solution that can radically change how you see yourself. While there are many short-term non-surgical treatments that can help to improve your cosmetic concerns, nothing provides the dramatic transformation you seek quite like facial plastic surgery.
