At McLean Clinic, we understand that plastic surgery is not about achieving perfection but about accentuating your natural beauty to help make you feel attractive and youthful at every stage of your life. Read on to learn more about the most popular cosmetic plastic surgery among our patients who fall into specific age groups.

Teenage Years – Blending In

These are the years in which your physical appearance begins to mature and takes on its permanent form. Teenage patients often want to correct congenital deformities and facial features, such as the nose and ears. As a matter of fact, many ear surgery (otoplasty) patients are children who have not yet reached their teen years to correct overly protruding or large ears. Rhinoplasty (nose re-shaping) as well as gynecomastia (male breast reduction) are also quite popular treatments for teenagers. These surgical procedures allow teens to blend in and fit in with the rest of their peers to avoid teasing and self-esteem issues caused by aesthetic insecurities such as a prominent noses, large ears, or feminine-appearing chests for boys.

Your 20s – Enhancing Natural Beauty

Patients who undergo cosmetic surgery in their 20s are often focused on enhancing their confidence and self-esteem by fixing a specific part of their body that they may be concerned about. For example, many young women undergo breast augmentation surgery to enhance their bustline and silhouette. Rhinoplasty is also a popular cosmetic surgery procedure for patients in their 20s. Patients in this age group are also interested in enhancing the appearance of their complexion by undergoing skin care treatments to target poor skin texture, combat acne scars, and address other skin conditions or irregularities. This can be achieved through non-surgical treatments such as microneedling, laser resurfacing treatments, chemical peels, microdermabrasion, or photo rejuvenation and IPL treatments.

Your 30s – Embracing Beautiful Skin

As individuals begin approaching their 30s, men and women alike often re-evaluate their body in many areas and seek to make improvements. Procedures that are popular among women include breast augmentations and breast lifts. Men and women alike also take interest in preventative injectable treatments that fight aging signs that may start to become more apparent at this phase of life. This includes Botox and dermal fillers, such as Radiesse and Juvederm.

Your 40s – Feeling Rejuvenated and Attractive

This age group is usually the most aggressive when it comes to cosmetic surgery procedures and individuals who fall in this age bracket are usually interested in preventing and fighting signs of premature aging and restoring their figure after pregnancy, childbirth, weight gain, or weight loss. A youthful appearance to the body can be accomplished with a mommy makeover, breast lift, tummy tuck, and liposuction to help the body outwardly reflect the vibrancy of what individuals are feeling on the inside. Individuals in their 40s frequently undergo a variety of facial injectable such as Botox, dermal fillers, and other skin care treatments to smooth out lines and signs of aging. As patients approach their 50s, they may begin developing an interest in facelifts, brow lifts, or eyelid lifts.

Your 50s, 60s, and Beyond – Restoring Youthful Vitality

This time of your life is often when you seek cosmetic surgical procedures that provide you with complete facial rejuvenation to restore a youthful appearance. Many individuals wish to reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles, as well as aged, sagging skin that may lack the shine and vibrancy that it once had. Individuals in this age group often undergo full face lifts, eyelid lifts, Botox and dermal filler injections, as well as a wide variety of other treatments that aim to rejuvenate the appearance. Aging hands can also grow to be a concern for patients in this age group, and thus seek laser treatments or filler injections to treat skin discolouration and skin texture. For the body, sagging skin can often be eliminated with a tummy tuck or arm lift.
