TL;DR:

  • Facial harmony: Symmetry and proportion are key to attractiveness; aesthetic treatments correct asymmetry and age-related changes.
  • Ideal ratios: Nose length should be ⅓ of the face; lips' top-to-bottom ratio is 1:1.6.
  • Drooping eyelids: Caused by aging, genetics, nerve damage, smoking, or ptosis. Can impair vision and cause tired appearance.
  • Solutions: Blepharoplasty (lasts ~10 years), or helium plasma treatment (lasts ~2 years).
  • Forehead wrinkles: Prevented with SPF 50 and avoiding squinting; surgical brow lift smooths wrinkles and lifts eyebrows (effects last ~10 years).
  • Nose correction: Options include ultrasound rhinoplasty (gentler with quicker recovery) and preservation rhinoplasty for reshaping. Results are long-lasting.
  • Modern aesthetic medicine offers non-invasive and surgical solutions to improve appearance and self-confidence while minimizing recovery time.

The face is our calling card – it is mainly responsible for our first impression. However, we are not always completely satisfied with our natural features, especially when aging processes come into play, starting as early as ca. 25 years of age! A youthful appearance is not just a matter of genes – aesthetic medicine treatments come to the rescue.

What determines the harmony of facial features?

Beauty, of course, is subjective and there is no single definition, but there is no denying that harmonious, symmetrical features have been considered attractive for centuries. Although the canons of beauty are changing, the face remains a man's calling card, and modern medicine makes it possible to correct elements that do not quite suit us. Appearance on the surface seems a trivial matter, but it can lead to complexes, taking away self-confidence and reducing the quality of life. One of the elements that most affects the harmony of facial features is the nose. It is assumed that the nose should be about ⅓ the length of the face. Proportion is also important when filling the lips with hyaluronic acid. Ideally, the ratio of the upper lip to the lower lip is 1:1.6. The plus side of lip augmentation is the ability to compensate for any asymmetry. It is natural for facial proportions to change with age, as the skin loses elasticity – aesthetic medicine treatments come to the rescue here.

Blepharoplasty for drooping eyelids.

At first, drooping eyelid is usually possible to mask with the right makeup. It's a good idea to take care of a youthful look already at this stage and opt for a lymphatic massage, for example. Over time, however, the problem becomes more serious and can not only be an aesthetic issue, but also limit the field of vision. Often, one eyelid falls more heavily than the other, resulting in asymmetry. In addition, the face takes on a sad, tired expression.

Eyelid drooping is a natural consequence of aging, as the production of collagen and elastin decreases with age, by decreasing skin density. On the eyelids, the skin is particularly thin and delicate, which is why the changes become visible so quickly. Of course, the problem of drooping eyelids will not be equally severe in everyone. Sagging is primarily influenced by:

Unfortunately, even the best cream cannot stop the aging process, much less solve muscle or nerve problems. However, a drooping eyelid can be successfully corrected by more invasive methods – we are talking about blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid plasty or surgical eyelid surgery. This is the most effective solution, as it removes excess skin – the scars are located in the eyelid crease, so they are hardly visible. The effect lasts for up to a dozen years. An alternative to surgery is helium plasma treatment, as it allows shrinking and smoothing the eyelid skin. This is a solution for people who are afraid of surgery, but the procedure has to be repeated – the effects last for about two years.

Lifting for forehead wrinkles

The skin, which loses elasticity, begins to droop according to the law of gravity. Excess skin appears, eyebrows droop, wrinkles appear on the forehead, and the oval of the face becomes less pronounced. This is a common reason why the face looks tired and older than the PESEL indicates. Forehead wrinkles can be prevented to some extent. It's best to avoid squinting (a common problem in people who avoid wearing glasses, despite vision problems), and use creams with SPF 50 when out in the sun. Unfortunately, we can't completely stop the aging processes. They are also influenced by genes.

If wrinkles have already appeared on the forehead, in order to get rid of them, you need to turn to invasive methods. The solution is a surgical brow lift. After the procedure, the eyes become larger and the wrinkles smooth out – a way to subtract even a few years. The problem of drooping eyelids and wrinkles on the upper eyelids can also be partially corrected this way. Only the forehead or eyebrows or both parts of the face can be corrected. The plus side is that the effects of the procedure last for up to 10 years.

Better proportions with nose correction.

A too large, crooked or humped nose is capable of completely disrupting facial features. Many people are still putting off nose correction because the procedure is associated with a long recovery. Fortunately, techniques are now available that disturb the adjacent tissues much less. Plastic surgery of the nose using ultrasound allows for a more gentle, yet precise reshaping of the bone. With such a procedure, recovery is easier and shorter, and bleeding and swelling are less severe.

You can also opt for conservative rhinoplasty, or preservation rhinoplasty. Here, the doctor performs tissue resection so as to change the shape of the nose. In this way, you can remove a hump or straighten the nose. The technique of surgery is chosen during the consultation – it is possible to operate on the bony tissues or the cartilage itself, if only the tip of the nose needs correction. Aesthetic medicine procedures help get rid of complexes and model facial features. New techniques provide shorter recovery time and results that last for years, so it is worthwhile to come in for a consultation and learn about the available solutions.

Conclusion

Achieving facial harmony is about more than just genes; aesthetic treatments offer solutions. From drooping eyelids to forehead wrinkles and nose corrections, modern techniques reduce recovery times and provide lasting results. These procedures not only enhance appearance but also boost confidence. Whether you need blepharoplasty, a brow lift, or rhinoplasty, expert consultations ensure tailored solutions. Investing in your look is an investment in quality of life. Don't let aging define your features—choose treatments that restore balance and self-assurance.
