The ā€œWhisper Liftā€ Is In—And South OC Is Listening

Forget the frozen look—today’s cosmetic trends are all about subtle upgrades. In South OC, people aren’t chasing dramatic transformations. They’re after that ā€œyou look great, but I can’t put my finger on whyā€ energy.

Plastic surgeons across the coast are seeing a major uptick in requests for what some are calling ā€œwhisper liftsā€ā€”small, subtle procedures that refresh without announcing themselves. Think: natural contour, brighter eyes, and a rested jawline. No pulled skin. No frozen smiles.

At the forefront of this shift? Dr. Terry Dubrow, the Newport Beach-based surgeon whose clientele spans celebs, CEOs, and savvy locals alike.

ā€œPeople don’t want a new face. They want their face—just five years ago,ā€ says Dr. Dubrow. ā€œIt’s not about changing who you are. It’s about restoring what you love.ā€

His signature approach blends cutting-edge techniques with a deep respect for natural features, making him the go-to for those who want to look better—not different.
