Popular Plastic Surgeries for Patients of All Ages – Part 1
Plastic surgery is more in-demand than ever in the US, and this is the truth for patients of all ages. Although plastic surgery is still most common among people in their 40’s and 50’s, we are long past the days when these groups accounted for the overwhelming majority of cosmetic procedures. Today, I wanted to illustrate this new reality by discussing some of the procedures that I perform most commonly for patients in specific age brackets – beginning with the younger groups.
Cosmetic Procedures For Patients in Their 20’s
Cosmetic maintenance and anti-aging are major trends for patients in their 20’s. The key for these patients is preemptively fighting off common signs of aging before they occur or become overly prominent. I perform a Band Aid Lip Augmentation using facial fillers to help younger patients address thin or aging lips that have lost volume. This is a subtle, minimally invasive procedure that requires very little recovery time. I also perform Botox® and Dysport® injections to help minimize the threat of wrinkles before they occur. Breast augmentation surgery is also consistently popular with patients in their 20’s who are not satisfied with the size/volume of their natural breast contour.
Cosmetic Procedures For Patients in Their 30’s
Body contouring is bigger among patients in their 30’s. Especially liposuction, which is able to help patients remove patches of unwanted fat from areas all over the body, and tummy tuck which can be incredibly helpful for removing loose or stretched skin (and repairing damaged muscles) from the abdominal area. The tummy tuck is very popular with women in their 30’s who want to re-attain their pre-baby body after pregnancy and childbirth. I also perform minimally invasive options like my Band Aid Tummy Tuck and Band Aid Liposuction.
Cosmetic Procedures For Patients in Their 40’s
In the 40’s is when many people, both men and women, begin to really notice common signs of facial aging. This includes light wrinkles, fine lines, early signs of lost volume and sagging skin, and naturally-occuring other issues that can make a person look older than they are. In addition to the most common facial plastic surgery procedures like eyelid surgery that are goto’s among many patients in their 40’s, I also wanted to mention my signature Band Aid Laser Skin Resurfacing treatment. This treatment can help repair the surface of the skin, addressing sun damage, acne scarring, age spots, and more while promoting a smooth and healthy complexion.
