FaceTouchUp — The #1 Free Online Plastic Surgery Simulator

FaceTouchUp is the leading online plastic surgery simulator trusted by patients and board-certified surgeons worldwide. Founded in 2010 and headquartered in Raleigh, North Carolina, FaceTouchUp enables anyone to upload a photo and visualize the potential results of cosmetic procedures — entirely free, entirely in the browser, with no software download required. Whether you are a patient exploring rhinoplasty for the first time or a surgeon preparing for a consultation, FaceTouchUp provides the tools to visualize outcomes with remarkable realism. The simulator runs on any device — desktop, laptop, tablet, or smartphone — and is used across hundreds of plastic surgery practices in the United States, Europe, Australia, and Latin America.

AI-Powered Cosmetic Surgery Simulation

FaceTouchUp’s primary workflow is its advanced AI-powered simulation engine. This is a completely hands-off, fully automatic solution: select the cosmetic procedure you want to visualize — rhinoplasty, facelift, breast augmentation, liposuction, chin augmentation, bariatric surgery, botox, or breast lift — choose your preferred intensity level, and the AI generates a realistic before-and-after preview in seconds. No manual editing is required. The AI simulation leverages machine learning models trained specifically for cosmetic surgery visualization, producing results that closely approximate real surgical outcomes. This makes it an ideal starting point for patients who want to quickly see what a procedure might look like before committing to a consultation, and for surgeons who want to accelerate the consultation workflow by presenting simulation results instantly.

Professional Editing Tools Engineered for Plastic Surgery

For users who want precise manual control, FaceTouchUp provides a suite of professional editing tools specifically engineered for plastic surgery simulation — these are not generic photo filters. The reshape tool uses advanced WebGL-based image warping algorithms, allowing you to click and drag any area of the face or body to simulate changes with an adjustable brush size for fine or broad edits. The shrink and grow tools provide targeted area adjustment for precise contouring. Skin smoothing removes wrinkles and blemishes for a realistic post-procedure preview. Drawing and annotation tools let surgeons mark up images during consultations. The built-in before-and-after comparison slider lets you instantly toggle between your original photo and the simulation. Every action supports undo, redo, and full reset, so you can experiment freely without risk. Together, these tools form a sophisticated, fast, and lightweight plastic surgery simulator with real-time rendering.

How It Works — Step by Step

Upload your photo — Take a front-facing or profile photo and upload it to the simulator. You can use your device camera or select an existing image from your gallery.
Choose a cosmetic procedure — Select the procedure you want to simulate: rhinoplasty, facelift, breast augmentation, liposuction, chin augmentation, botox, bariatric surgery, or breast lift.
Simulate with AI or manual tools — Use AI-powered automatic simulation for instant results, or switch to manual reshape, shrink/grow, and smoothing tools for precise control.
Compare before and after — View your original photo side by side with the simulated result using the built-in comparison slider.
Save or share with your surgeon — Download your simulated image or save it to the cloud for easy retrieval during your consultation.

Privacy and Security

FaceTouchUp is built with patient privacy at its core. All image processing — including AI simulation and manual tool operations — happens entirely on the client side in your browser using WebGL technology. Your photos are never uploaded to a server unless you explicitly choose to save them. There is no server-side image processing for manual tools, which means your photos remain on your device throughout the editing session. This architecture also makes the simulator extremely fast and lightweight, delivering real-time rendering performance without network latency.

For Surgeons and Practices

FaceTouchUp is used by over 174 plastic surgery practices in more than 250 clinic locations worldwide. Surgeons can embed the simulator directly on their practice website with full white-label branding, increasing patient engagement and consultation-to-case conversion rates. The platform includes full-featured cloud photo management at no extra cost — unlimited storage for patient simulation photos, sophisticated layout features for organizing patient cases, and the ability to save simulations to the cloud for seamless retrieval during consultations. A standalone desktop version is also available for practices that prefer an installed in-office application.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this plastic surgery simulator free?

Yes, FaceTouchUp offers a free plastic surgery simulator that lets you upload your photo and visualize cosmetic procedures including rhinoplasty, facelifts, breast augmentation, and more. Advanced AI simulation features are available with credits.

How accurate is a plastic surgery simulator?

FaceTouchUp’s plastic surgery simulator uses AI-powered morphing technology to provide realistic visualizations. While results are approximations meant to help you and your surgeon discuss goals, the AI simulation produces highly realistic before-and-after previews.

Can I simulate rhinoplasty online?

Yes, FaceTouchUp specializes in rhinoplasty simulation. Upload a front or profile photo and use the AI nose reshaping tools to visualize how your nose could look after rhinoplasty surgery.

Do plastic surgeons use simulation software?

Yes, hundreds of plastic surgery practices worldwide use FaceTouchUp as their cosmetic surgery simulator. Surgeons embed the simulator on their websites to help patients visualize results and improve consultation outcomes.

What cosmetic procedures can I simulate?

FaceTouchUp supports simulation of rhinoplasty (nose job), facelift, breast augmentation, breast lift, liposuction, chin augmentation, botox, bariatric surgery, and more. Both AI-powered automatic simulation and manual editing tools are available.

Can I use this for rhinoplasty planning?

Yes, FaceTouchUp is widely used for rhinoplasty planning by both patients and surgeons. Upload a front-facing or profile photo, then use AI simulation or manual reshape tools to visualize nose changes. Many patients bring their FaceTouchUp simulations to consultations to communicate their goals.

Is FaceTouchUp HIPAA compliant?

FaceTouchUp takes patient privacy seriously. Photos are processed in the browser and are not stored on our servers unless explicitly saved by the user. For practice accounts, images can be managed within a secure environment. Contact us for details about HIPAA-compliant workflow options for your practice.

How does the reshape tool work?

The reshape tool uses advanced image warping algorithms to let you click and drag any area of the face to simulate changes. You can adjust the brush size for fine or broad edits. It works in real-time and supports undo/redo so you can experiment freely.

Can plastic surgeons embed this simulator on their website?

Yes, FaceTouchUp offers a website integration solution for plastic surgery practices. Surgeons can embed the simulator directly on their practice website, allowing prospective patients to try simulations before booking a consultation. This has been shown to increase patient engagement and conversion rates.

What is AI-powered cosmetic surgery simulation?

FaceTouchUp’s AI simulation uses machine learning to automatically generate realistic before-and-after previews for procedures like rhinoplasty, facelifts, and liposuction. Select a procedure and intensity level, and the AI produces a simulation in seconds — no manual editing required.

This tool’s intended purpose is to help you visualize different cosmetic procedures on a photo. It does not take the place of a consultation with a physician. The photos you produce here are for illustrative purposes only and do not guarantee an actual surgical outcome. For an accurate evaluation based on your unique facial structure, please consult a qualified physician.
