Descriptions and artwork from ancient Greece depict Nestor with features such as age and physical decline, white or gray hair, reliance on a staff, a dignified posture, and a thoughtful facial expression. His face, marked by wrinkles, would feature sharp, thoughtful eyes that mirror his extensive experience. His expression would convey calmness, authority, and a quiet strength derived from years of experience. For individuals like Nestor, the guiding principle should be to age gracefully and with dignity. The objective is not to make him appear young again, but to ensure he feels comfortable, functional, and vital, thereby honoring both his past and his future. If Nestor sought plastic surgery to enhance his appearance or address functional concerns, it would be essential to strike a balance between rejuvenation and the preservation of his dignity and identity. Key areas to consider include facial rejuvenation, blepharoplasty, and neck lift or jawline contouring.
