I feel like I want a lot of surgeries but still want to look natural. Is there a way to avoid overdone look?

Thank you for your insightful question. The main problem that we all experience is the nature of vision which is a fake 3D.

This leads us to think of changes in one angle and imagine, usually incorrectly, how they would look from a different angle.

It is however possible to use 3D imaging and simulation to integrate facial sculpting thinking and reduce the likelihood of a fake appearance which is often the result of excessive volume or excessive convexity of the facial contours.

With the advent of generative AI, one can also request a variety of synthetic meat images at the angles that we are trying to plan for and this gives us the overall averaging of what humanity has described as nice. It is a reference that helps to understand why excess corrections produce fake appearance and give some pointers on the characteristics of beauty that we seem to value. Although this is not applied directly as a simulation, it is a good reminder of the boundaries to respect.

I've written a few papers on how to do multiple surgeries together safely and correctly. It's all about experience and judgement.

Hello, hope you are well. The vast majority of patients (at least in my practice) express a similar sentiment--they want natural appearing results, and that's what I (and most other surgeons) deliver. However, "natural" could mean different things to different patients in different contexts, so you be the judge. Have a look at the before and after pictures of surgeons that you are interested in meeting with to assess for yourself and choose someone who consistently has natural looking outcomes.

The first step with any cosmetic surgical procedure is to get an assessment.
A quality assessment indicates your candidacy for surgery.
Individuals who are excellent candidates have the potential for having excellent outcomes.
Someone who is an excellent candidate for surgical intervention has the potential of having quality outcomes or less quality outcomes, depending on how well the procedure is performed.
Individuals who are not excellent candidate for surgery don’t have the potential for quality outcomes regardless, who does the procedure.
In other words, there are two variables involved in quality outcomes. The first is understanding your candidacy for the procedure, and the second is the find the right provider.Without including pictures, or understanding what you want we can’t begin to make an assessment.
The following are suggestions of how to find the right provider.
To find the best provider, I suggest patient schedule multiple in person, consultations with experienced plastic surgeons in their community. During each consultation, ask each provider to open up their portfolio and show you their entire collection of before, and after pictures of previous patients who have similar body characteristics to your own or whatever procedure you are interested in. an experienced plastic surgeon should have no difficulty showing you the before and after pictures of at least 50 previous patients. An experienced provider should in fact have hundreds or preferably thousands of before and after pictures to choose from for commonly performed procedures. Being shown a handful of preselected images, representing the best results, other providers career for patients who don’t look like you is insufficient to get a clear understanding of what average results look like or what your results are likely to be in the hands of each provider.
There is no correct number of consultations needed to find the best provider. The more consultations you scheduled the more likely you are to find the best provider for your needs. Take careful notes during each consultation, especially regarding the quantity and quality of before and after pictures. It’s not a bad idea to bring pictures of your own body to use this reference when reviewing before and after pictures. The biggest mistake patients make is scheduling only one consultation without properly vetting or comparing providers before scheduling surgery.
