9 March, 2021Is age important in plastic surgery?
There are many doubts about the importance of age in plastic surgery, which we are going to explain from two important studies that were carried out at the Cleveland Clinic (Academic Medical Center of Multiple Specialties in the United States) where the Risks of some plastic surgery procedures in elderly patients.
Both studies concluded the same thing: the physiological age of the patient is much more important than the chronological one.
What does this mean?
That what is truly important is the physical condition and health of the patient, and not their age.
But this also makes it clear that there may be people in their 30s whose state of health does not make them candidates for an optional procedure, such as cosmetic surgeries, and people in their 65s in good health, and therefore can be candidates without major problem.
Certainly as the years go by, there are diseases that are associated with age. Such as cardiovascular conditions, which can appear over the years or through external factors such as smoking.
One thing is age, and another the most demanded surgeries according to age
There is an important relationship between age and the most demanded plastic surgeries.
Between 10 and 26 years of age, the most requested surgeries are breast augmentation through the placement of implants, rhinoplasty and liposuction in less quantity.
The latter increases the demand after the age of 30, when women tend to request more operations to help them recover their body after pregnancy, accompanied by abdominoplasty. In this age range, breast lift is also in high demand as a consequence of breastfeeding.
That is why, between the ages of 30 and 45, the famous “mommy makeover” is highly demanded, which includes abdominoplasty, liposuction and augmentation with implants.
After crossing the 45-year-old barrier, the signs of aging begin to be noticed on the face, which is why the demand for facial surgeries increases, in relation to the bag under the eyes that denotes fatigue: blepharoplasty. And corrections of the neck or double chin. At this age, the sagging of the face begins to be noticed and the patient can opt for a facelift.
