For a life time I have been avoiding pictures and my lack of confidence has been taking a toll in my personal relationships as I consider myself plain ugly. The picture number 1, no make up at all, and I confess, one of my bad pics...My eye area looks terrible, droopy, hollow, old and the face shape...thinner in chin area and sunken cheeks. Pic 2 is ok, a good pic day, some makeup that helped, still, same problems. I am 32...what would you recommend to make me look better ?
Surgical intervention for someone at the age of 32 is usually about creating more harmony in facial features as opposed to rejuvenation. While it's very difficult to make recommendations based on the photos you supplied, a few things are generally true:
1) Anything that opens the eyes will almost always make someone more attractive.
In your case this means elevating the brows (as part of a browlift) and narrowing the nose (as part of a rhinoplasty.
2) Strong chins are masculine
While it's hard to tell from the photos, it looks like your chin might be a bit boxy and over-projected. Reducing it may help.
3) Everyone looks better with nice skin.
Check with a local experienced board certified plastic surgeon. Besides rendering a more grounded opinion on your face, they will often offer useful skin care products.
I am a 34 year old male with eye bags. I have gotten two opinions on how to treat them. Now I am confused.Is one procedure safer than the other? How long do the results last?
The difference between transconjunctival and transcutaneous blepharoplasty is that in the transconjunctival blepharoplasty, the tissues cannot be tightened as they can with the transcutaneous blepharoplasty. If you have no laxity of the skin or the muscle, a transconjunctival blepharoplasty is an excellent technique for re-contouring the fat of the lower eyelid to eliminate the puffiness and the hollowing.
So far, I have not come across websites that offer to change the shape of the eyes per se. Although blepharoplasty might naturally change the eye shape to some extent (e.g. by making the eye rounder and larger), are there ways to make the eyes more almond shaped, for instance?
One of my most popular procedures is the Asian blepharoplasty or double eyelid procedure. This can be done for people who lack an upper eyelid crease, or for those who have a poorly defined crease, or for those that have multiple or asymmetric creases.
One of effects of this procedure is that the eyes appear larger. Patients seem more open-eyed while maintaining their ethnic identity. I have had several Eurasian patients request this procedure in order to enhance the Asian look of their eyelids.
