Plastic Surgery for older men and women
According to American Society of plastic surgery, about 350,000 adults older than 55 underwent some sort of cosmetic surgery in 2011 and the numbers continue to swell as the population is aging. The fact that many older people are hitting the golden years in good health and are full of energy is the driving force to undergo knife. And the motivation is to look much younger- the way they feel!

| More and more elderly are undergoing plastic surgery to reverse the signs of aging |
Plastic surgeons say that healthy older adults are
at equal risk of complications as their younger counterparts- age does not per-se increases the chances of complications. It is the health of the individual
which determines his candidacy and chances of complications for plastic surgery.
Which means a healthy old man is at a lesser risk of complication when he
undergoes a plastic surgery than a young man who is not so healthy.
Cosmetic surgery, however, still a surgery and should
be considered with full seriousness. Even if everything goes perfect, you would
undergo some sort of anaesthesia, cutting and manipulation of tissues and your
body would have to rally for healing that up. You would have bruising and
swelling that would last for few weeks. And
there can always be some problematic complication such as muscle weakness, skin
numbness, blood pooling under the skin or wound-heal etc.
It is thus important that you should know the risks
and results of the surgery well before plunging into it. The most important
thing is that you should have realistic expectations from the surgery. If you
are dissatisfied with your body image and seek plastic surgery as cure for
dissatisfaction, you would, in all probabilities be disappointed. If you are,
however, happy with yourself and seek cosmetic surgery to improve your
appearance, you are more likely be happy with the results of the surgery.
Plastic surgery procedures most popular among older men and women
 |
| Face Lift |
Facelift reverses the sign of aging from your face
and sets the clock back by about 10-15 years. It is the most popular plastic
surgery procedure among men and women above 55. Face lift is usually combined
with neck lift for best results and also with upper and lower blepharoplasty
brow lift, forehead lift etc to rejuvenate the complete face. The operation is
done under general anesthesia and takes about 3-4 hours.
The most common breast procedure asked by women at
this age is revision of the previous breast implant because over the years
breast implants may need a replacement. The other most commonly asked procedure
is Breast Lift or mastopexy which can be done at the same time as breast
implant revision or breast reduction surgery.
Liposuction removes fat from a particular area of
the body which has not gone despite diet, exercises and other efforts. The
procedure entails inserting small cannulae in the area to be treated to suck
the extra fat. The skin then moulds itself to the new body contour. Your skin
should have good elasticity for good results; else your skin may look loose and
non smooth after the procedure.
Tummy tuck is more extensive surgery and involves a
large incision with major repair and tightening of skin and muscles. Some adults
65 or older, do undergo tummy tuck, but recovery is typically longer and harder
than the other procedures listed above.
