Modern plastic surgery has moved away from the concept of transformation, embracing the philosophy of restoration instead. Every face tells a story, and the surgeon’s task is to listen to it, restoring balance and freshness without altering the original features. In this article, we analyze five recent clinical cases that perfectly illustrate this approach, from deep rejuvenation techniques to facial profile sculpting.
Restoring Volume: Deep Cervical Lift and Face Lift
The first case involves Giusi, a 52-year-old patient who experienced significant structural sagging following major weight loss. Rather than merely addressing the surface, we opted for a deep anatomical approach. A deep-plane face lift, combined with a targeted cervical procedure (treating the submandibular glands and the digastric muscle beneath the platysma), allowed us to recreate an elegant, sharp jawline. This structural approach ensures a highly natural look, completely avoiding any “pulled” effect.
A similar philosophy was applied in a case of anatomical eye rejuvenation. Excess eyelid skin is rarely an isolated issue; it often stems from the downward sliding of the brow. By combining a temporal endo-lifting with a “mini pinch” blepharoplasty, we successfully opened up the eyes in perfect consistency with the patient’s facial anatomy.
Balancing the Profile: Rhinoplasty and Mentoplasty
Facial harmony relies heavily on proportions. For a young female patient with a receding profile, we performed an augmentation mentoplasty using anatomical silicone implants to provide permanent stability and three-dimensional projection.
Balance was also the focal point in our rhinoplasty cases. For a 60-year-old male with a deviated septum, we utilized a closed preservation technique, ensuring the complete recovery of respiratory function with absolutely no external scars. In the case of young Niccolò, a specialized rhinoplasty for thick skin was paired with a subtle otoplasty to correct prominent ears, demonstrating how combined, minimally invasive procedures can completely redefine facial symmetry.
