How to achieve a more restorative, youthful appearance, modify the areas that need addressed & increase attractiveness? (Photos)

Question

I am a woman in her mid-fourties would would like to pull the trigger on facial rejuvination this summer. I have considered everything from a rhinoplasty to area specific lift, full face and neck, forehead lowering… you get the idea. I want a harmonious result which is why I’m looking at a whole face approach rather than piece by piece. So the question is: what would you do to give me a more restorative and youthful appearance, modify the areas that need to be addressed and increase my attractiveness? You mayb have a long list or just a few things that would make a major impact but either way I would like to know! I’m hoping for a July or August surgery and then returning for some body improvements once the summer comes to a close. I am attaching photos I just took today. I’ve never had facial surgery (fillers and Botox) and am 46 year old who live in France. Merci!

Thank you for sharing &mdash; you have beautiful, balanced features. For a natural, harmonious rejuvenation, a global approach is ideal. Here’s what could work well: • Deep plane facelift + deep neck lift: To lift cheeks, sharpen jawline, and refresh overall contour. • Lower blepharoplasty (if under-eye puffiness): Optional fat graft to tear troughs. • Temporal or lateral brow lift: Subtle lift for a more open, refreshed eye. • Chin enhancement (small implant or fat): To improve neck-chin angle (optional). • Mild rhinoplasty (only if tip or profile refinement desired).
Later, CO2 laser or fat graft can enhance skin and volume. You’re a strong candidate &mdash; this plan can deliver a naturally younger, rested look.

I do not recommend a facelift.  However, you may benefit from a rhinoplasty.  You may benefit from a brow lift.  This will decrease the vertical height of the forehead and lower the hairline.  You may also benefit from an eccentric lip lift.  An eccentric lip lift does 4 things: shortens the distance between your nose and upper lip, increases the mucosa of the upper lip, increases the incisor show and pulls up the corners.

Needless to say, an examination in person would be necessary to be able to properly evaluate you and make specific recommendations but based on your photos and your concerns, you would most likely benefit from facial fat grafting, with or without a mini-neck lift. Again, the final treatment plan would be based on a “hands on” in person evaluation. Be very careful in selecting your plastic surgeon. Since your overall facial balance and attractiveness is excellent, less is more. Bon chance. A bientot.
