What can NOT be fixed on the face through surgery?

You can’t really make a face that is too longer shorter. It’s much easier to add length with chin implants. You can’t cut up interior facial bones.

The neck;

Inner ugliness.

R1 to counter the long face a cheek implant can change the face.

You can't fix the eyes being placed too closely, or to the other extreme, the eyes are pretty firmly set.

Free silicone injections and botched jobs. Travel tourism nightmares.

It’s very difficult to smooth out wrinkles on the upper lip. No straws or cigarettes ladies!

This doctor sculps faces with fillers, instead of cutting.

Wonky eyes

Your lyin' eyes.

Not sure

Close set or wall-eyed eyes. A personality disorder.

Yes you can r1. Look up v line jaw surgery. Koreans love it.

So playing the trumpet is ok?

I thought there was something they could do with the neck, no?

Necks are nearly impossible to get right

Isn't most of Ivanka's lower face silicone implants (we know her tits are)?

I've known tons of people who got neck lipo and lifts and looked great.

Looking like an idiot. You might be prettier, but you'll just be a pretty idiot.

Definitely the spacing between your eyes - you can’t physically move them to be further apart, obviously. If you get a really good nose job you can give the illusion of wider set eyes, but that’s really more if your eyes are more average set - super close set nothing will help.

And to a certain extent you cant change the shape of your eyes either. Tori Spelling could never get rid of those big eyes.

That’s bug eyes*

The only things I can think of are: the distance between the eyes, midface length, and mouth width.

Mouth width is a fairly common surgery in Asian countries, to varying degrees of success.

One thing I’ve noticed is nose jobs where the lower part of the nose and tip have been whittled down, but the higher part of the bridge (between the eyes) is still thick and large. Britney Spears’ nose is an example. If surgeons can shave down Kylie Jenner’s lower face, seems possible to whittle down the upper part of the nose bridge.

Sanpaku eyes.

Which is actually a good thing since we need to be able to identify the crazies.

Can the vertical length of the bridge of the nose be shortened?

Yes, R24, but then you have to be careful to have the tip reshaped accordingly or end up with Cruella DeVil nostrils.

I don't think you can fix high nostrils.

I’d imagine re-aligning eyes that are not level with each other is not possible? (see Shannon Doherty)

R25 I would think one would have to do tip lifting /reshaping often, since narrowing a nose will make it appear longer.

Gayface.

R27 it is possible, but it's an extremely invasive procedure that's really only performed for severe congenital deformities and changes the entire face, so most people like Doherty with only slightly wonky eyes wouldn't even qualify for it.

Resting bitch face

Eye socket adjustment? If you have a face like Shannen Doherty, can you move your eye socket to make your face more symmetrical?

Trump genes.

You can't give someone beautiful eyes. And eyes are probably the major part of a beautiful face.

Too many things to name

Dead, lifeless eyes.

Cold shark eyes.

Stop getting medical advice from the DL. It’s stupid!

It depends on who your plastic surgeon is.

Your piss poor attitude.

[quote]Dead, lifeless eyes.

I don't know--this seemed to work.

I prefer the "before". Looks like a sly rodent in the after.

I’ve had body reconstruction and plastic surgery on my neck. Spent 10s of thousands on 2 surgeries.

I look great.

Ugliness

High forehead.

^ Hair transplant that lowers the hairline can minimize a high forehead.

My partner’s nephew was born with cleft palate. It really is amazing what plastic surgery can do. He has another surgery left, after about 6-7 through the years, but the plastic surgeon and orthodontist are miracle workers. You’ll still be able to tell he was born with a cleft palate, but the reconstruction is amazing.

[quote] It’s very difficult to smooth out wrinkles on the upper lip. No straws or cigarettes ladies!

I’m screwed.

R44 Believe it or not, the surgeons have a couple of different approaches to solving that problem. Generally the entire hairline is lowered, often in conjunction with a brow lift, though men may benefit more from hair transplants. Lowering the hairline with natural and masculine results is a bit trickier.

The lack of a Philtrum, generally cannot be fixed, nor can a tiny face on a rather large head (i.e. Charlie Kirk).

Yeah, I guess these days nobody wants a high forehead, it being associated with high intelligence and all.

The distance between the eyes, the length of the midface, you can not make a wide mouth more narrow, head size and shape, neck length, etc.

R50, there is a doctor who specializes in adding implants to the top or back of a person's head to change the size and shape.

R51, omg

The eyes and the eye sockets.

You can change the skin surrounding the eyes but that is about it...

The length of the face (mid-face) can be shortened. I had it done. Lefort II osteotomy, maybe?

R54, what all about your face changed after the surgery? What features? Just wondering.

Can't make the nose bigger

Wall-eyed-ness

Dead eyes, the windows to the soul.

[quote]Trump genes.

This family is incredibly ugly, inside and out and that's the absolute worst kind of ugly.

They all have weak chins, evil shark eyes and anus lips. Ivanka seems to have had her entire face reconstructed.

Her mom, Ivanka, I realize she's not a Trump, had a terrible plastic surgery. After a nose job her nose now actually looks larger!

Lip size

Dying under general anaesthesia.

A bad personality. Seriously though, I was told by a plastic surgeon that your lips widen as you get older. There is nothing they can do about that.

*lengthen.

Has anyone ever done microneedling? I have large pores and a slight divot on my cheek and have heard microneedling is great for that.

Mid face length

.,.,

You bitches don’t know nothing. Take it from someone who has spent around $100k + over the years on tweaks: absolutely *everything* can be fixed. Including features spacing. My principle surgeon, whom patients fly across the world for, does deep muscularsketal work on the face and neck, including bone replacement. Amongst the subtle work I’ve had was repositioning of neck tendons for a more youthful neck line, and a shitload of small but strategic fat implants over the years. I’m not obsessive, but like to look sleek, neat and tidy.

You are obsessive, John Rivers. You spent "around $100k+" for surgery on the face ALONE for fuck's sake! And no matter what you do to the face, you're always going to have old hands.

R3 That's what I keep telling Nic.

Nose

We can fix everything. Come in for a free consult!

If laugh lines get to a certain point, they cannot be fixed. You are either a ventriloquist dummy or someone with a weirdly overstuffed jaw area until you die.

Teef

The fact that you have two of them.

Lipz

There is a surgery to fix big foreheads. Results are great.

High nostrils

Dead eyes after a soul-ectomy.

When you're done feeding the pigs you can explain it to her, will you?

Ryan Reynolds-type beady eyes.

Good lord, r81, what is that actresses name again? That nose! Those nostrils!

R82, Nanette Fabray

I saw a documentary years ago about a French surgeon who developed a way to correct really bad congenital facial deformities on children. I don’t remember the name of the syndrome but the kids are born with really widely spaced eyes and flat, nearly non-existent noses. They showed the surgery on screen - he basically peeled the face down so he could cut out each orbit and rejigger the structure of the face “like a jigsaw puzzle.” He used parts of the boy’s big toe to create a nose — it was one of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen.

Excuse me?! R18

Dying under general anaesthesia.—Joan Rivers

You do realize that the procedure Joan was having that ultimately caused her death WASN'T cosmetic? She was having a routine exploratory endoscopy to check out her vocal chords due to an increasingly raspy voice. Her death was completely avoidable and due to negligence of the doctor and staff, thus why Melissa successfully sued.

R3 has the best answer.

[quote]R5 It’s very difficult to smooth out wrinkles on the upper lip. No straws or cigarettes ladies!

What about stretch marks around the mouth? I first started noticing them when I was 18!

R103, not sure

R90 mouth width can be changed by a variety of procedures, some less invasive than others. I know a woman who had very tiny lips and got permanent makeup (tattoos) to make them look wider and change/even out her lipline, and then got lip filler, and it totally changed her mouth size. Kylie Jenner has had similar work.

Pick a nose yet, OP?

Korean surgeons can kind of fix "long faces" but shaving a lot of the jawline down and resculpting it.

Too much space between the nose and upper lip, which give a person an unattractive or apelike appearance. Stephen King here is an extreme example, but even if everything else is good it's one of those things that can keep a person from being beautiful.

Plastic surgery can't fix it, and nose jobs can make the problem a LOT worse - removing nasal tissue or putting the tip of the nose further up can make the nose-mouth gap larger or apparently larger. About all that can be done is lip fillers in the upper lip, which so often looks horribly fake that that it can also make things worse.

R108, a lip lift can shorten the space between the nose and mouth

R109b is correct - a lip lift can fix that issue pretty easily.

R110, yep I want one

Streisand has that issue, R108, but her strong nose doesn't make it look as evident.

Eyes

Madonna

R114, Madonna is the face every plastic surgery patient wants

R40- I'm really hoping that guy didn't pay a surgeon to add ring lighting to his after photo.
