Cosmetic Surgery: Common Surgical Treatments

By Pearlie Nott


The appeal of plastic and/or cosmetic surgery spans age groups from teenagers to older persons. Although not always the case, several procedures such as nose re-shaping (rhinoplasty) and breast surgical procedure apply to younger patients. Older candidates usually get procedures to deal with aging problems.

Forty is a magic number for some of us . In our practice, one of the most typical reasons listed for seeking cosmetic surgery consultation is "turning 40?. Legendary comedian Jack Benny remained at his trademark "39" for decades!

People in their forties present an exceptional and interesting demographic subset . Breast and body contouring procedures are well-known among the "Mommy Makeover" group. Moreover, forty is the age when lots of patients start to first spot the signs and symptoms of facial aging. Skincare, facial lasers and injectables are very popular.

Among the more prevalent surgical treatments that appeal to forty-somethings are eyelid tucks, cheek lift and neck firming. These 3 procedures, each performed in under an hour , can offer a natural, fresher look with a quick recovery and a high degree of patient fulfillment.

The Eyes Have It

Eyelid modifications by age forty may include extra upper lid skin and lower lid bags. The eyelid tuck procedure known as a cosmetic blepharoplasty , popular among both men and women, deal with these problems properly. The outcomes are usually a more rested, less angry and tired appearance, to the face. Blepharoplasty is the most common facial medical procedure.

Face Time

Full face and neck lift remains the gold standard for facial rejuvenation. Nationally, many of these patients are in their mid-40's-mid-60's, although in South Florida we view patients well into their 70's and 80's.

A less invasive alternative to full facelift that appeals to the forty-somethings is the isolated cheek tightening. Lifting the cheek and jawline can be achieved with little incision "mini" face lifts. Although they come by many catchy names , including the "lunchtime" facelift, and others, these "mini" or mid-face lift procedures successfully freshen the cheek and jawline with natural, not pulled, results.
