Boomers Choose Plastic Surgery

Are You a Baby Boomer?

If you were born between 1946 and 1964 you are a baby boomer! Following World War II there was a big increase in births. This group who primarily grew up during the 60’s and 70′ have often been characterized by the significant social changes they impacted.

Today’s boomers have grown older and of course wiser! Many women and men choose not to look old and have decided cosmetic surgery and aesthetic procedures are what they want.

Elegant 60s and Beyond

60-somethings choose facial plastic surgery to address age related concerns. This is the time to be proud of who you are and what you’ve accomplished during your life. Many 60s and beyond are still in the workforce or perhaps started their own business.  Wherever you are in these years, it’s never too late to improve your appearance, enjoy a younger look, and project your inner vibrancy.

Seniors Choose Plastic Surgery, Often For the First Time

As you get older, excellent results can still be achieved for women in their sixties, seventies — or older if you are in good health and overall fitness.

If you’ve never had any cosmetic surgery, this is typically the time to choose a more comprehensive approach with a full facial rejuvenation. While this may seem like an extreme step, 60-somethings choose facial plastic surgery because it has greater benefits and longer lasting results. This type of facial rejuvenation considers the “whole face” rather than just altering individual parts. The result is more harmonious, natural-looking and aesthetically pleasing. It also means that your plastic surgery is completed in one long surgical session, rather than several surgeries over a longer period of time.

Secondary Facelift

You’ve heard nothing lasts forever and the same is true with a mini or full facelift. At whatever age you had your first facial surgery, it probably took 10 years off how you looked. However, the aging process continues on from that point.

The good news is that  the secondary facelift procedures are often easier for Dr. Abramson to perform, with less down time for the patient. That means faster healing and you getting back out into the world sooner to enjoy your life.

Are You Too Old for Plastic Surgery?

The older we get, the more aging indicators we develop. Many patients who undergo plastic surgery procedures are in their 30s, 40s, or 50s. But what about those who are older and are unsatisfied with how their face looks? Is there a cut-off age for men and women who want to undergo facial plastic surgery?

You might be analyzing yourself in the mirror and find yourself unhappy with some physical characteristics you have. But you might be worrying that you are too old for plastic surgery. The good news is, that the age of the patient does not matter for plastic surgery. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, a study finds cosmetic procedures just as safe for elderly as for young. Patients over the age of 65 can undergo cosmetic surgery with the same complication rate as younger patients. Plastic surgery is a healthy and effective option for the right patient at any age.

Double board certified facial plastic surgeon, Peter Abramson, M.D.,  in Atlanta can explore various plastic surgery options to address age-related changes, including procedures like facelifts, rhinoplasty, eyelift (blepharoplasty), and brow lift. Dr. Abramson specializes in cosmetic surgery for seniors and also offers reconstructive procedures to address functional issues.
