A facelift is no longer a procedure reserved only for older people. Worldwide, interest in early, minimally invasive rejuvenation techniques continues to grow — and Ukrainian audiences actively support this trend. We conducted a series of Instagram Stories polls to understand how people feel about facelifts, at what age they consider them, and which techniques seem the most acceptable.
As a plastic surgeon, I often hear patients ask: “Which is better — an endoscopic lift or a SMAS facelift? And does the so-called weekend lift actually work?” There is no universal answer, because every face has its own anatomy, degree of aging changes, and each patient has individual expectations.
The Mommy Makeover is a combination of procedures aimed at correcting physical changes that occur in a woman’s body after pregnancy and breastfeeding. This surgical approach may include breast surgery, abdominoplasty, and body contouring. Choosing the appropriate timing for such intervention is essential for achieving a safe and predictable outcome.
The nose defines facial balance, influences the expressiveness of the eyes and the harmony of the profile, and plays a crucial role in breathing function. Unfortunately, revision surgeries occur more frequently than we would like. They may result from individual healing characteristics, surgical errors or limited experience of the surgeon, an overly aggressive primary correction, or operative techniques that did not provide adequate structural support. However, in most cases, revision can be avoided if the approach from the beginning is thoughtful, consistent, and professional.
Over the past few years, aesthetic medicine has undergone a noticeable shift in priorities. Instead of dramatic and conspicuous transformations, an increasing number of patients now choose natural results – outcomes that are difficult to identify as the result of surgical intervention.
In my opinion, the decision to undergo a facelift should be based not on age, but on the individual anatomical characteristics of the face. In other words, it’s not the number in your passport that matters, but whether you have visible ptosis (tissue sagging), loss of jawline definition, deep nasolabial folds, and to what extent these changes affect your well-being and quality of life.
Aesthetic surgery is evolving: patients are seeking fewer scars and faster recovery, and the industry strives to meet these expectations. MIA is a natural response to these demands. However, to move from a marketing trend to a reliable alternative, it requires independent clinical research, long-term outcome data, standardization of techniques and materials, and transparency in complication reporting.
Many people believe that injections of fillers are the only way to solve this problem. However, modern plastic surgery and aesthetic medicine offer a range of alternative solutions that make it possible to achieve a natural result without “overfilling” the lips.
Modern aesthetic surgery shows us that beauty does not lie in drastic changes but in subtle refinements of a person’s appearance. In 2025, the main request sounds like this: “I want to look as if I’ve had a good rest, not as if I’ve had plastic surgery.”
Body-contouring after rapid weight loss is the most effective way to eliminate excess skin and restore body shape. The best time to undergo surgery is once weight has stabilized, nutrition is well-balanced, and the patient is prepared for rehabilitation (typically 12–18 months after bariatric surgery or after weight stabilization). Planning should be multidisciplinary and staged: the surgeon, bariatric specialist, nutritionist, and psychologist all play a role in ensuring a safe and sustainable outcome.
The deep-plane facelift is a modern, technically demanding, but highly effective method of facial rejuvenation. It delivers natural results and significantly extends a youthful appearance. Unlike the classic facelift, it works with the fundamental structures of the face, restoring harmony without a “mask effect” and preserving natural expressions.
Choosing an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon is a decision that affects not only your appearance but also your breathing and self-confidence for years to come. Asking the right questions and having an open discussion with your doctor will help you avoid misunderstandings and achieve the best possible result.
In some cases, implant removal is necessary for medical reasons. In others, the previous surgeon’s work may have been excellent, with no health concerns – but for the patient, removal is simply a path toward naturalness. The role of the plastic surgeon is not only to perform the surgery well but also to ensure the patient feels confident and comfortable in her new appearance.
The success of plastic surgery largely depends on thorough preparation. Proper preparation helps reduce risks, shorten the recovery period, and achieve the exact result you are hoping for. Here are seven key points to keep in mind.
The weekend facelift is a modern approach to rejuvenation that combines gentle surgical intervention, rapid recovery, and natural-looking results. It is ideal for those who want to look younger and more confident - while still remaining themselves.
Mammoplasty is one of the most in-demand plastic surgeries worldwide. It allows women to change the size, shape, and proportions of the breasts, making them more harmonious and aesthetically pleasing. This procedure often not only improves appearance but also helps women feel more confident and comfortable in their own bodies.
Rhinoplasty remains one of the most popular plastic surgeries worldwide. It not only enhances appearance by creating a more harmonious profile, but also solves functional issues, such as breathing difficulties. To achieve the desired outcome, it’s essential to understand the key stages of preparation and the specifics of post-operative recovery.
Современная пластическая хирургия меняется и совершенствуется: сегодня пациенты все чаще ищут натуральный подход к коррекции внешности. Они стремятся не к радикальным изменениям, а к тонкому усовершенствованию, которое подчеркивает их индивидуальность. Это касается популярных пластических операций, таких как ринопластика, маммопластика и подтяжка лица.
Мы продолжаем изучать ожидания и страхи пациентов. На этот раз мы провели опрос в Instagram о личном опыте, мотивации и отношении к эстетическим изменениям. В опросе приняли участие более 600 человек, и его результаты позволяют лучше понять современного пациента пластической хирургии.
Стволовые клетки – это универсальные клетки, обладающие способностью к самовосстановлению и превращению в различные типы тканей. В медицине их используют для лечения различных заболеваний, а в сфере эстетической медицины – для омоложения и восстановления кожи. Популярность этого подхода стремительно растет благодаря его природному механизму регенерации, минимизирующему риски осложнений и обеспечивающему длительный результат.
