BEAUTIFICATION: Action or Process of improving a person's appearance

The treatment aimed at facial beautification will take different forms depending on the patients' expectations.

For patients wishing a simple beautification by improving or strengthening certain physical features in order to be more attractive, the objective may be to:

• Redraw the lips to magnify a smile or make a mouth fuller.
• Intensify a look.
• Subtly optimize the proportions of the face by acting on the volume of the cheekbones or chin.
• Rectify an irregularity of the nose.

In patients who are bothered by a facial feature that does not seem harmonious to them, the objective will be a correction of what she considers to be a problem.

Among Positive aging patients, their wish is often to erase the gap they perceive between the age they feel and the image they project. The objective could be to:

• Soften the visible signs of time.
• Tone or simply refresh their appearance.
• Appear less sad or less tired.
• Rebalance facial volumes.
• Look good

 

In the face of such varied expectations, the response cannot be standardized. The needs initially expressed by patients do not necessarily reflect the cause of their request. There can be a significant gap between the areas patients think they need to treat and the results they imagine. It is therefore essential in the first stage of treatment to support them and help them in their reflection.

It is only once the patients' feelings and emotions are understood that it will be possible to move on to the second stage of care and offer a perfectly personalized tailor-made treatment plan.

This treatment plan will be sequenced and adapted to the wishes of patients with the long-term objective of preventing and treating aging.
