How Old is Too Old for Cosmetic Surgery?

Mused after seeing the movie Wonder Woman. Not only an entertaining movie but shows women in a positive light emphasizing integrity, strength, and intelligence.

Cellulite? Here’s some interactive information that takes just a few minutes: https://www.cellfina.com/my-cellfina-evaluation/ (hit control then click your mouse)

A recent article in the New York Times discussed cosmetic surgery during the “golden years”. In 2010 there were almost 85,000 cosmetic surgical procedures performed on patients over the age of 65. Facelifts and cosmetic eyelid operations were the most common. The two most obvious questions this brings up are why and is it safe?

As we live longer, healthier lives, more patients want to “look as good as they feel”, matching physiques to their psyches. The practical advantages to this are presenting their best for current or potential mates and (especially with this economy) competing with those younger for jobs.

(Did You Know? Each day, over 10,000 baby boomers turn 65, EVERY DAY!)

Safety is always an issue in elective surgery and even more so as we age. The Journal of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery recently reported complications in patients over 65 were not statistically greater than those younger. The Cleveland Clinic reviewed the medical records of 216 facelift patients and found no significant difference of complications of a group who averaged 70 years of age compared with one of 57.6.

Whether for their physical safety or fulfilling psychological needs, choosing patients that are healthy emotionally and physically are the keys to patient satisfaction and a successful practice. Age is not a barrier to healthy, motivated patients who understand the risks, complications, and limitations of cosmetic surgery. It is my job to educate them and provide the best services within these parameters.
