Face Lift & Feminism: Modern Women, Self-Image and the Choice of Aesthetic Surgery

Thursday, 03 September 2026

Modern plastic surgery is not simply about appearance. It is also about confidence, personal choice and facial and body harmony.

Inspired by the recent discussion in the New York Times about face lift surgery, ageing and feminism, Plastic Surgeon Ioannis Liapakis and Opsisclinical approach aesthetic surgery with an emphasis on natural-looking results, individuality and personalized care.

Modern facial rejuvenation techniques such as Deep Plane Face Lift, Deep Plane Neck Lift, Full Face Lift, V Lift, Upper Face Lift, Middle Face Lift, Lower Face Lift and Neck Lift can provide comprehensive facial and neck rejuvenation while maintaining natural facial expression and identity.

Opsisclinical also provides a wide range of aesthetic and reconstructive procedures, including rhinoplasty, blepharoplasty, liposuction, abdominoplasty, breast augmentation, mastopexy, breast reduction, breast lift, silicone implants and labiaplasty, together with non-surgical aesthetic treatments such as long-lasting Botox and Russian Lips.

For laser hair removal, advanced technologies such as Candela Alexandrite, Nd:YAG and Soprano ICE may be used according to the patient’s individual needs and skin type.

Patients visit Opsisclinical from Heraklion, Chania, Rethymno, Sitia, Agios Nikolaos, Ierapetra and throughout Crete, as well as from Kos, Athens, Thessaloniki, Greece, Cyprus, Malta and Israel.

Crete and Athens are also attractive destinations for medical tourism in Greece, providing international patients with access to specialized plastic surgery and aesthetic treatments while enjoying their stay in Greece.

Aesthetic surgery should not be dictated by social pressure. It should be an informed and personal choice. The goal is a natural and harmonious result that respects each patient’s individuality, anatomy and personal wishes.
