What Is Profileplasty?

The term profileplasty is used to describe a range of procedures, both surgical and non-surgical, that are designed to enhance the profile or side view of the face. The rise of social media has transformed everyday life, and we are more aware than ever of how our faces look in our image-based world. An increasing number of people are showing interest in improving the appearance of their profile or side view. Your profile is often only appreciated when others look at you from the side. We naturally want to look the best version of ourselves in any situation, whether on social media or face-to-face.

Benefits of Profileplasty

Profileplasty, a comprehensive cosmetic surgery procedure, has gained recognition for its ability to significantly enhance facial symmetry and aesthetics. This surgical approach combines several techniques, such as rhinoplasty (nose reshaping) and genioplasty (chin modification), to create a balanced and proportionate facial profile. The goal of profileplasty is not only to address individual features but also to ensure that these features complement each other, resulting in a more harmonious overall appearance.

One of the primary benefits of profileplasty is its ability to improve facial balance. By carefully assessing and modifying the nose and chin, surgeons can create a more aesthetically pleasing alignment between these key features. This alignment is crucial for facial harmony, as the nose and chin play significant roles in defining the profile and overall look of the face. For individuals who may feel self-conscious about a prominent nose, a receding chin, or the lack of definition in their jawline, profileplasty offers a tailored solution that addresses these concerns in a cohesive manner.

Furthermore, profileplasty can have a profound impact on an individual’s self-esteem and confidence. The psychological benefits of feeling more comfortable and confident in one’s appearance cannot be overstated. Many patients report a boost in self-confidence following their surgery, which can positively affect various aspects of their lives, including social interactions and professional opportunities.

Another advantage of profileplasty is its customisability. Since every face is unique, the procedure is highly personalised to meet the specific needs and aesthetic goals of each patient. Surgeons carefully plan the surgery, taking into consideration the patient’s facial structure, skin type, and desired outcomes. This bespoke approach ensures that the results are not only aesthetically pleasing but also natural-looking, enhancing the individual’s features without appearing overdone.

What procedures can be considered a type of profileplasty?

Rhinoplasty, also known as a nose job, is the most popular profileplasty procedure. The nose occupies the central part of our faces, and even a subtle change in size or shape can significantly change our profile or side view. Whether it’s a droopy nose tip or a large bump on the bridge of the nose, the nasal profile can be dramatically improved with rhinoplasty surgery, which is why it is one of the most commonly performed procedures in the UK.

Two types of non-surgical nose treatments are designed to produce subtle enhancements, such as smoothening out depressions or bumps in the nose or helping to lift the tip of the nose. A non-surgical rhinoplasty, a liquid rhinoplasty, and a thread lift nose job are non-surgical profileplasty treatments commonly used for non-invasive nose contouring. Although these treatments can produce subtle enhancements, the only way to permanently change the structure of the nose is with a surgical rhinoplasty.

In many cases, people may be less sure about what bothers them in their side view, and it may not necessarily be their nose, especially if the nose is perfectly symmetrical. A desirable appearance of the face on the side view may also be determined by the distance between the different facial features and certain angles. For example, the distance between the nose and forehead or the angle between the chin and neck. Other important facial relationships include the angle between your chin and nose.

Certain procedures can improve the shape and size of the chin. Chin fillers using hyaluronic acid are a non-surgical way of enhancing chin contour. Chin fat transfer or chin implants are surgically invasive procedures, although they have the benefit of achieving permanent results. Lip fillers would also be considered a type of profileplasty procedure, and its surgical equivalent would be a lip lift to shorten the distance between the upper lip and the bottom of the nose.

Several treatments are available to restore cheek volume, such as cheek fillers, fat transfer or cheek implants. Contouring of the neck, chin or jawline can be achieved with chin liposuction, and this may be combined with FaceTite if there is mild skin laxity. More extensive surgical procedures include a surgical neck lift, and this is commonly combined with facelift surgery, of which there are several different types. The most common types of facelifts include mini facelifts, lower facelifts and deep plane facelifts.
