Facial plastic surgeons are often asked what are the "best" options to improve one's appearance.

In addition, the best plastic surgeons look inside at the mouth and check the teeth for an overbite …
Many facial plastic surgery procedures can be performed via local anesthesia.

Botox®), plump lips (ex. Juvederm®), or fill dark circles (ex. …
Cosmetic facial surgery has evolved over the years, but generally still involves tissue (i.e. skin, muscle, fat) repositioning, tightening, and/or reduction.

For patients with submental fullness, a mini lift for the lower face and neck is a plastic surgery option with minimal downtime. Other treatment options for submental fullness include neck liposuction, chin augmentation, and non-surgical injections (ex. Botox®, Juvederm®, Kybella®, etc).

All surgical facelifts generally have an incision in front of the ear, with variable extension around the ear. Even short-scar or mini lifts have an incision.
