What we’re treating now that we’ve officially reached middle age.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s been 30 years since the 90s and we can thank Generation Xers for just about everything cool that is being celebrated by today\u2019s generation. Steve Madden platforms? We started that. Doc Martens? You\u2019re welcome. Brown lip liner? Two words: Kevyn Aucoin.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Now that Generation Xers are all grown up and experiencing a stage of life some refer to as middle age (as if!), we wanted to know which treatments patients aged 40-55 are seeking the most. Here, top plastic surgeons from around the country share what procedures they\u2019re doing the most of on the \u201cMy So-Called Life\u201d generation.<\/p>\n
Body Work<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cIn my experience the most popular procedures and treatments being requested by women in the 40 to 55-year-old demographic are: breast augmentations and lifts, tummy tucks and Mommy Makeovers. The main reasons for these specific procedural choices are because this is the age group that contains the most moms who are of an age where if they have had their children and don\u2019t plan any more additions to their families, making breast and body surgery logically sensible. They are young enough and fit enough to still desire physical and sexual attractiveness and an active lifestyle, in general.\u201d\u00a0\u2014San Diego plastic surgeon<\/em><\/p>\n Breasts Reshaping<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cThe procedure most common in women closer to 40 is breast enhancement.\u00a0Today, we\u2019re seeing more patients requesting a breast lift or reshaping, with or without an implant, than we were a decade ago.\u00a0This may have a lot to do with awareness regarding what can be done, along with increased safety and a rather rapid recovery period.\u00a0These women have completed their child bearing years and for the most part are simply seeking to have their breasts restored as closely as possible to pre-child bearing years.\u201d\u00a0\u2014Pittsburgh, PA plastic surgeon<\/em><\/p>\n Tightening and Filling<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cThe facial procedures they are receiving focus are fillers as well as Morpheus8 radio-frequency treatments to the lower face and submental area. Fillers, consisting primarily of hyaluronic acid products, directly address areas of volume loss and also have some degree of lifting effect of their own. Morpheus8 treatments help in remodeling fat as well as producing a skin tightening effect, far superior to other non-or minimally invasive tightening procedures of which I am familiar.\u201d\u00a0\u2014New York plastic surgeon<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cZoom-Lifts\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cIn my practice, the most common surgeries women are having facelifts, mini-lifts and eyelid lifts. I am hearing daily, that patients on Zoom calls are seeing things that have been bothering them for many years and now they have the time to recover and still work from home. For many of them, this is an ideal opportunity and we\u2019ve been performing a lot of \u2018Zoom-lifts.\u2019\u201d\u00a0\u2014New York plastic surgeon<\/em><\/p>\n Facelifts<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cFacelifts usually start in mid- to late-40s, but with the average age being 55 years old.\u00a0Patients in the last 15 to 20 years have become accustomed to exploring options at a younger age due to the growth of nonsurgical options.\u00a0The concept of prejuvenation with preventive treatments has become extremely popular, which has opened the door for more invasive procedures in their 40s and 50s.\u201d\u2014Louisville, KY plastic surgeon\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Brows and Necks<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cMany of my patient have come in and saying, \u2018I\u2019m starting to look like my aunt or grandmother.\u2019 They still feel attractive but are starting to see the wear and tear that comes with aging\u00a0and their genetic patterns. It may be drooping eyebrows or aging on the neck first, so they\u2019ll come in seeking treatments before it progresses. If the neck muscle needs to be tucked back, or the lower eye fat pad needs to be tucked back in, doing a muscle-based surgery is a key so they don\u2019t end up looking stretched. Using lasers and fillers are also good. Younger patients now want to fix the \u2018landslide\u2019 early.\u201d\u2014 Chicago plastic surgeon<\/em><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6002,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[660,950,3844,4064,4063],"class_list":["post-6001","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cosmetic-plastic-surgery","tag-generation","tag-plastic-surgeons","tag-procedures","tag-want-most","tag-xers"],"yoast_head":"\n
