Facial Surgery Options & Their Benefits
Rhinoplasty (Nose Reshaping Surgery)
Choosing between open and closed rhinoplasty depends on your unique goals. Open rhinoplasty provides comprehensive access for more complex reshaping, while closed techniques involve less recovery time and no external scar. If you’re struggling with nasal obstruction, functional rhinoplasty can improve breathing, while cosmetic rhinoplasty focuses solely on appearance.
Facelift & Neck Lift (Anti-Aging & Rejuvenation)
You can choose from mini, deep plane, or full facelifts depending on the degree of aging and desired results. Facelifts offer longer-lasting results compared to fillers, especially for sagging skin and deep wrinkles. While recovery can take a few weeks, the rejuvenating effects often last several years with proper maintenance.
Chin Augmentation (Enhancing Facial Harmony)
Chin implants provide a permanent solution to redefine your jawline, while fillers offer a temporary and less invasive approach. Chin surgery can bring balance to your facial proportions, enhancing your profile significantly. Healing typically involves minor swelling and minimal downtime.
Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty – Upper & Lower Eyelids)
Upper eyelid surgery is ideal for removing excess skin that may obstruct your vision, while lower eyelid procedures address puffiness and fine lines. If droopy eyelids are affecting how alert or youthful you appear, this surgery offers both functional and cosmetic relief. Post-op care includes cold compresses and rest, with most patients resuming normal activities within 10 days.
Jaw Reduction Surgery (Contouring for a Slimmer Face)
If you’re looking for a more tapered, feminine facial contour, jaw reduction might be ideal. Surgical options offer permanent results, while non-surgical alternatives like Botox provide temporary slimming. You’ll need a consultation to determine candidacy, and recovery includes managing swelling and soft diet recommendations.
Fat Grafting to the Face (Volume Restoration & Contouring)
Fat grafting restores youthful volume using your own fat, often harvested from the abdomen or thighs. Compared to fillers, fat transfer may offer longer-lasting volume. Areas such as the cheeks, temples, and under the eyes benefit most from this natural approach to facial rejuvenation.
Body Contouring & Augmentation Options
Breast Augmentation (Enhancing Breast Size & Shape)
Breast augmentation enhances both size and shape. If you’re experiencing sagging, a breast lift might be a better solution—or you may benefit from combining both procedures. Implants typically last 10 to 15 years before replacement is considered.
Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) – Fat Transfer to the Buttocks
The BBL uses your own fat to sculpt fuller, more lifted buttocks. Compared to implants, it offers a more natural feel and lower risk of complications. Adequate fat stores are necessary, and while BBL is generally safe, choosing an experienced surgeon like Dr. Lee ensures reduced risks and optimal results.
Liposuction (Fat Removal for Body Contouring)
Liposuction targets stubborn fat in areas like the abdomen, flanks, thighs, and arms. Unlike weight loss, which shrinks fat cells, liposuction removes them entirely. 360 liposuction treats the torso circumferentially, creating more dramatic contours and symmetry.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How do I choose the right plastic surgeon?
Look for a board-certified plastic surgeon with proven experience in the specific procedure you’re considering. Credentials, before-and-after photos, and patient testimonials are all helpful in making your decision.
Can multiple procedures be done at the same time?
Yes, combining procedures such as a facelift and eyelid surgery or liposuction with a BBL can be done safely in many cases. Your surgeon will evaluate whether this approach is appropriate for you.
What is the best age for a facelift, rhinoplasty, or BBL?
There’s no single “best” age—it depends on your anatomy, aesthetic goals, and overall health. That said, many patients seek rhinoplasty in their 20s, BBLs in their 20s to 40s, and facelifts in their 40s and beyond.
How long do results last for different procedures?
Surgical results are long-lasting, especially when paired with a healthy lifestyle. Facelifts can last up to 10 years, implants may last 10–15 years, and fat grafting provides lasting volume in most cases. Regular follow-ups help maintain your results.
