Redefining 40’s

Generation X Redefining 40s & Beyond

More women in their forties are choosing cosmetic procedures like Botox, facial fillers like Juvederm. blepharoplasty and mini facelifts. In your 40s, the subtle signs of aging from your 30s may become more pronounced. The upper and lower eyelids may begin to sag and can create a deep-set look. Crow’s feet may develop around the corner of the eyes and frown lines deepen in the forehead. You may notice horizontal wrinkles developing in the forehead. In the lower face, vertical lines may begin to appear and deepen around the nasolabial folds, marionette lines may begin to form, and cheeks may lose their volume.

Facial cosmetic procedures are no longer thought of by young women in their 40’s for  older women. The media has embraced celebrities and other women who are over the age of 40 as beautiful and sexy. This has set the stage for older women to be accepted as beautiful; not just beautiful for their age. We can thank the introduction and accessibility of cosmetic surgery procedures for a great deal of the acceptance.
