We all want to look and feel our best. It’s a natural part of being human. But what exactly makes someone beautiful?

Dr. Steven Dayan, a leading expert in beauty and aesthetics, dives deep into this question with Dr. Bass. They explore the complex interplay between our subconscious and conscious perceptions of beauty.

It turns out, beauty isn't just skin deep. There's a mathematical side to it, involving ratios and proportions. It's also influenced by culture, personal style, and even confidence.

When we enhance our appearance through plastic surgery, we're not just chasing a superficial ideal. We're aiming to boost our self-esteem and overall well-being. After all, feeling good about ourselves can positively impact our careers, relationships, and even our financial success.

While cosmetic procedures can be a tool for improvement, they should never overshadow our natural selves. Dr. Dayan emphasizes that it's crucial to maintain authenticity and avoid unrealistic expectations, even in the age of social media and filtered selfies.

Find out the true definition of beauty, why plastic surgery first originated, and how even the blind can detect beauty.

Because the neck tends to reveal your age more clearly—and age faster—than your face, it is a key area to address when talking about facial aging.

Some people catch the early signs, like skin texture changes, and horizontal lines across the neck. For these concerns, skin treatments, like chemical peels, energy treatments for skin and dermal stimulating filler treatments can help. For minimal sagging or excess fat is approached with liposuction, or muscle tightening through small incisions. As skin laxity worsens, energy-based lifting treatments come into play.

But once you reach the point where there’s noticeable sagging or that “turkey neck” look, surgery is needed for real improvement.

The neck is just as visible as the face, so it’s crucial to include it in any rejuvenation plan. Don’t focus only on the face and neglect the neck—it’s on display every day, too.

Find out why the neck is so tricky to treat, how to pick the right surgeon for a neck lift, and why it’s often paired with a face lift. Learn what causes neck aging and how to prevent it and treat it.

As we get older, our lips naturally change. They lose their plumpness, the space between the nose and upper lip gets longer, and the pink part of the lip starts to wrinkle and lose its color.

Filler can definitely make your lips look fuller, but it's more about the shape than the size but there are other options for the lip as well. A lip flip uses Botox to relax the muscles in the upper lip and rotate the lip. Botox can also be used to fix a gummy smile.

Lip lift surgery shortens your upper lip and makes your lips look fuller, shorter, and shapelier. It’s a good option for people who want a more permanent change.

With so many choices out there, it can be tough to figure out what's best for you. Dr. Bass explains how your lips change as you age, what your options are, and how to decide which one is right for you.
