What is Beauty?

Home » What is Beauty?

If you look in the dictionary, beauty is defined as “the quality or aggregate of qualities in a person that gives pleasure to the senses or pleasurably exalts the mind or spirit.”

But that’s the dictionary. Beauty is something that is really based entirely on opinions formed by others and yourself. People associate beauty with an aesthetic attractiveness formed by the right combinations of shapes, size, placement, and proportion. However, a large part of it also has to do with feeling good about yourself.

We want to make you beautiful. How do we do it? By crafting and sculpting your individual and unique body that will make your whole being shine through.  We offer the following consultations and surgeries that can make a profound difference on how you look and feel.

Facial Proportion
With respect to proportion, the different elements of your face should balance in relation with each other to produce a natural, beautiful look. A nose might be straight and nicely shaped, but be too large for one’s face.  Similarly, lips might have ... read more »

Facial Structure
Your facial structure can best be defined as the framework that lies under the skin of your face.  It is, essentially, the scaffolding that supports your facial features. The areas most commonly in need of augmentation or enhancement are the nose, ch... read more »

Flawless Skin
If your facial structure is the scaffolding of your face, then your skin is the canvas.  It is the largest organ of your body, and visibly reflects your physical health and age.  Poor or damaged skin can make one appear much older, while clear and un... read more »

Harmony
Have you ever contemplated why one face might be perceived as attractive, yet another face not so?  The unconscious mind preselects for facial harmony, finding it most desirable when a person’s eyes, nose, mouth, forehead, cheekbones and chin blend a... read more »

Heart Shaped Face
There’s something attractive about heart-shaped faces and how the eyes are highlighted by the face’s width, the nose framed by the cheekbones, and the mouth complimented prettily by a tapering chin.The good news is that you no longer have to be born ... read more »

Ideal Placement
There are few things that define one’s femininity like breasts.  Ideally, your breasts should be full yet balanced, with an eye towards natural beauty. There should be a gentle slope, upturned nipples, fullness in the lower part and the augmented bre... read more »

Nasal Bridge Height
It’s not just the shape and size of your nose that you need to consider:  it’s also the bridge height. If your bridge is either too high or too flat, it may overshadow or downplay the look of your other features.  The nose should begin at a point opp... read more »

Natural Drape
There is nothing more beautiful than a natural-looking breast, and creating such beauty is something that Dr. Weintraub is expert at. In contrast, unnatural-looking breasts can be radically disproportionate to a woman’s body, can be grossly asymmetri... read more »

Sculpted Nose
No other facial feature possesses the importance of the nose.  Because of its positioning right in the middle of the face, a one-millimeter change can produce an merely acceptable or quite good result, or a superior, if not spectacular, result.  For ... read more »

Wide Cheekbones
Cheekbones, or malar prominences, are the most important features that define facial width in the upper face.  Along with widely placed sculpted cheekbones are usually widely spaced eyes.  This is the main reason why shorter, wider faces photograph i... read more »

Liquid Facelift
As early signs of aging make themselves known, non-invasive options have become more popular, affordable, and effective.  It is now possible to delay what might be an inevitable surgery by using a combination of facial fillers and neuromodulators.  T... read more »
