Cosmetic surgery has afforded people a unique opportunity to restore a youthful appearance once again. Baby Boomers are a special group of people who are interested in an array of procedures. More than ever, people are living a healthier lifestyle and they want to turn back the clock with the help of a board certified plastic surgeon.
Additionally, this age bracket is extending their years in the corporate world as well as remaining active in their social circles.
Data provided by the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) shows that in 2014, over 10 million operative and non-operative cosmetic procedures were accounted for. From this calculation, those between the ages of 51 to 64 underwent both surgical and nonsurgical treatments. To be more precise, 24 percent underwent cosmetic surgery while 32 percent opted for nonsurgical procedures.

One would be remiss if the 65 and over category was not included. According to ASAPS, they accounted for nearly 8 percent of surgeries and almost 11 percent of treatment in the non-operative category.
It’s estimated that five percent underwent surgical rejuvenation a few years ago, a 3 percent leap for this 65+ age group.
While there are many surgical procedures to choose from, it appears the ones that Baby Boomers choose are the following:
• Liposuction
• Eyelid surgery
• Breast lift San Diego
• Arm lifts
• Neck lifts
• Cheek augmentation
• Forehead lifts
• Breast reduction
• Nose reshaping
The goal for these above procedures is a natural looking rejuvenation.
Also growing in recent popularity are hand lifts. This is an outpatient patient procedure lasting less than 20 minutes. It rejuvenates the top of hands with the use of an injectable synthetic filler.
During a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon, one can review their aesthetic goals and wishes. At that time, a surgeon will determine if a person is a candidate for a surgical or nonsurgical procedure.
Also during the consultation, a surgeon will overview a patient’s medical history to see if they are well suited for a surgical procedure. In most instances, age is not a factor, but any previous or current medical issues may hinder the surgery and/or recovery.
High risk factors which need to be addressed may include:
• A patient who smokes cigarettes
• A patient who has diabetes
• A patient who is on blood thinners
• A patient who is on aspirin
• A patient with a history of heart disease
A consultation is a time where a patient can be candid with their plastic surgeon while conveying their goals and understanding the realistic results of the procedure(s). As well, a decision to undergo cosmetic surgery should not be done in haste. After the consultation, take time to mull it over and be mindful of that choice.
Also allot ample time for recovery which may last anywhere from a week to a few weeks, depending on the procedure chosen.
Above all, plastic surgery is a personal decision and should be done for oneself and not for another individual. The process is indeed a journey which requires patience, and after all is done, will present itself with radiant results.
