Men and women of all age groups have body contouring in NYC to address a wide variety of concerns and look good. As we age our cosmetic concerns change. Moreover, every person has unique cosmetic concerns that would need customized solutions. Irrespective of your age, these concerns about your appearance can make you feel self-conscious. Plastic surgery and cosmetic surgery can help improve the profile and parameters of your body. However, aesthetic concerns vary by age and understanding the aging process is important to get the right treatment and rejuvenate your appearance. Here are the procedures that different age groups seek to address their aesthetic concerns:
The most common procedure for children and teenagers is otoplasty (to pin back protruding ears and also to correct various types of ear-related conditions) and rhinoplasty (to enhance the appearance and/or to rectify deformation in the structure of the nose that cause respiratory problems). Teenagers should wait until their body has stopped developing. Teens shouldn’t be swayed by peer or societal pressure into having cosmetic surgery. Reliable plastic surgeons evaluate patient goals carefully to ensure that they made their decision to have a procedure for the right reasons.
People in their twenties may not experience any visible signs of facial aging related cosmetic concerns or the effects of gravity on the body. However, they may experience skin problems or breast concerns. Breast development is usually complete by age 20 and women in twenties may consider breast augmentation surgery to improve breast size and volume. Changes in lifestyle and exposure to the sun may lead to skin problems, leading those in this age group to seek nonsurgical and surgical procedures such as skin resurfacing, and preventative Botox to fight signs of aging before they ever show up.
Women in thirties may start to experience premature signs of facial aging or drastic bodily changes due to pregnancy and breastfeeding. Premature signs of aging may appear due to lifestyle changes or stress which would cause loss of elastin and collagen. As a result, the popular options for this age group include facial rejuvenation procedures such as skin resurfacing, Botox as well as a mommy makeover to address post-pregnancy aesthetic concerns.
Cosmetic Concerns in Later Life Stages
Signs of aging intensify during the forties and fifties. Muscle tone is lost, fat is displaced, and the body gradually produces less collagen and elastin that are essential for supple skin. The major concerns are aging around the eyes, sagging facial skin, wrinkles, deeper facial folds, and hollow-looking areas of the face, and jowls. Popular cosmetic surgical procedures for this age group are facelift surgery (rejuvenates the appearance of the face and neck by addressing wrinkles and sagging skin due to aging or weight loss), blepharoplasty ( removes excess skin and fat from the upper and lower eyelids and tightening the skin), breast augmentation, and liposuction. Concerns relating to skin tone and texture imperfections can be addressed by nonsurgical procedures such as Botox and laser resurfacing.
People in their sixties and upwards will have the same problems as people in their forties and fifties have, but at a more intensive level. They can have facelift surgery to address mid-face sagging, creases below the lower eyelids, creases along the nose extending to the corner of the mouth, facial fat, jowls and a double chin. Skin resurfacing, Botox and dermal fillers are also options for people sixty and older.
Regardless of your age, the most important thing when it comes to body contouring in NYC is to choose a well-trained, experienced and skilled plastic surgeon. This is critical for safe treatment and optimal results. Established AAAASF-accredited plastic surgery practices have such surgeons. The right surgeon will evaluate your aesthetic concerns and recommend the treatments that will best address them.
