    Eh, he is Jewish, and a plastic surgeon, it was kind of a joke of his. It wasn't an insult. A lot of his friend's daughters did it (Jewish or not). The point of the comment is one facial deficincy usually goes along with another. They are very rarely the only thing "wrong". As in, if your chin is weak, your cheeks probably are too. If your nose is big in profile, you probably chin is probably recessed, etc.

    For the original question, it seems to me that anything that helps you project more confidence (as has been pointed out) can only help. So long as you keep looking like a person and not one of those cat-faced scary people on tv. I'm sure you know what I mean. But sometimes the monetary differences in subtle things is almost negligible...like decent standards of looks is a bottom line, and beyond that, it's mostly just sales. Little imperfections can probably be contoured with make-up too, right? But if you want it done for yourself, you might as well try to benefit professionally from that investment as well.
    The traditionally beautiful feminine bone structure consists of...

    Full, high, defined cheekbones
    A small, smooth nose
    A softly defined jawline with a slight point of the chin
    Big, wide set eyes

    But that's just a general outline. Google "the perfect face" and there's a lot of study and talk about it.

    I think it's a worthwhile investment for me. The only thing I feel keeping me from feeling good about myself in general is my face. Sad, huh? I think that confidence would come through at work.

    I've had my nose done and my money went up. I want to get another nose job done sometime soon because I'm not 100% happy, but I'll do it whenever I get around to that. I say that you should get all your surgeries now while you're young and you can recover faster.

    I'd be interested in benefits of cheek implant vs. getting fat sucked out of different areas to make the cheekbone more prominant. Can they do that, and how does it look vs. an implant?

    Also, I don't know about the big nose/recess chin thing, but that's only my own experience having a big nose and prop. chin.

    I've always wished my cheekbones were a little less wide and slavic. I had a little something done a while back, but its almost completely useless, as faces (noses) never stop growing. Now my nose has a serious hook, a la Paris Hilton. So if they re-do your bridge, they'd have to do tip work too (possibly?)

    I have no pros or cons about this, and no judgements. Just thinking about these things. Also, the pain from the cheeks would be pretty hardcore, I imagine.

    Oh, and as far as making more money...there are soooo many SC custies that value a hot body over a beautiful face, despite what the guys on here may say.

    Cool, thanks. I've always thought I looked much better in profile than from head-on, and it helps to try to narrow down what the problem is. Like in certain pictures I think my face looks hot, and in others, ehh. It's nice to live in a day and age where you can take what you've been genetically dealt, and improve upon it.

    But I agree that a hot face isn't everything. I used to dance with a girl who had a seriously unfortunate face...I think she'd had some bad injury, but her eyes and mouth were messed. But you could barely notice from the stage, and her body was so hot, she still sold a lot of dances.

    That's called buccal fat removal, and it wouldn't help me because I don't have cheekbones to speak of! The bone structure just isn't there. They are totally, utterly flat. My midface is EMPTY If we did that, my face would just be hollow.

    yeh i was concerned about missing gym and i thought i would be tempted to go back early.

    if your nose gets bumped within the first 6 weeks while it is still very soft and delicate it will ruin the whole outcome of the surgery so you should not do anything that puts your nose at unnecessary risk - even going out to crowded areas like shopping centres - although i did, i was very careful.
    If I do decide to do it, I might ask who you went to, since you're happy with your result.

    i think too much work done in your face will make you look unrealistic. overkill isn't sexy. i personally think you should stay the way you are.

    Interesting.

    I wonder if cheek implants can make nasal fold labias disappear. I have them from losing weight, so my face is a wee bit saggy I think. They make me look old, I hate it. I'd like to get that fixed but i'm too young for a face lift. My face will look stretched out. And fillers are a pain to maintain, they don't last forever.

    has anyone had their eyebags done?
    I really want to do that.
    I wonder how well it works at getting rid of circles and puffiness.

    Cheek implants in a young woman is a good alternative to a midface lift, it basically does the same thing. It helps lift the fat pads in our cheeks if they've fallen. I think there's at least one permanent filler for nasolabial folds.

    I've seen it done on younger women because they have bags under their eyes just because (genetics, allergies, etc), not because of aging. It works, but the surgeon just has to be conservative with how much skin he trims away and how much fat he removes. It doesn't get rid of dark circles, just puffiness.

    I googled "blepharoplasty young patient" and got lots of results

    plus I heard you're not supposed to do that because it will look like shit when you get older

    I had rhinoplasty about two years ago. I only had work done on the cartilage, no bone involved. The recovery included a dramatic change seen about a month after surgery (majority of swelling down). It took about 2 months before I felt good about my choice. Only after a year was I able to be in the sun or extremely active (hard-core aerobic workouts) without seeing swelling (it lasted about a day or two and I REALLY noticed it). In essence, it's not like breast augmentation recovery. Think blood to the head (swelling) and exposure to elements (sun/swelling). I'd do it again, in a second, though.

    The fact is, for business (and arguably, many areas of life), appearance matters. I am prettier due to the rhinoplasty. Enough said.

    As for the cheek/chin/nose relationship--HOW TRUE! I never considered my cheeks to be "less than" before my rhinoplasty. With a smaller nose, my face seems longer. I've been looking into cheek augmentation, feeling guilty about doing so (afraid of falling into plastic surgery trap), but am surprised to find that cheeks are actually often part of the rhinoplasty, and totally not uncommon for both to be done for balance.

    Plastic surgery is just another tool for us to use to make ourselves look good. Simple as that. It's not going to help you make money unless you use it wisely (if you need it, be objective and apply it to YOUR needs) and, well, USE IT (confidence). It is a big personal investment and involves some risk, but so does getting in the car and driving (risk) to the gym every day (big investment).

    While this (almost) seven year old thread is about a woman wanting to have more prominent cheekbones...Asian women are getting surgery to have less prominent cheekbones.

    I've had lip augmentation and, afterwards, lip implants done. Both provided some marginal improvement in 'customer' acceptance thus marginally increased income, but versus a somewhat significant cost. Thus they achieved nothing like the rate of return I saw on re-do's with even bigger breast implants, where the cost was significant but the increased earnings were major.
