Plastic Surgery in Your Teen, Adult, and Senior Years
During the course of your life, your body will undergo a many of changes. Some of these are good--the basics, like maturing into adulthood, building muscle and tone, and so on. Others are not so desirable, like drooping in different parts of the body, lines and wrinkles, and the gradual appearance of sun damage. Whatever the case may be, you can undergo San Antonio plastic surgery to make alterations to your appearance as needed.
Now, the needs of patients will vary at different ages. In general, young patients will not need the same sorts of surgeries as older patients. Let’s look at the sorts of surgeries that people get during their teens, their adulthood, and their golden years to help illustrate this.
Cosmetic Surgery Options for Teens
Teens are still developing, so surgical enhancements are usually not advised for most teenagers. With that in mind, a number of teens have undergone San Antonio rhinoplasty in order to reshape their noses. This may be done for aesthetic reasons, reconstructive reasons, or to address respiratory problems related to the nasal passages.
Cosmetic Surgery Options for Adults
Adulthood is a pretty broad grouping for surgeries, but we’ll try to tackle these issues somewhat chronologically, from young adulthood into later adulthood.
Once the breasts have finished developing, many young women consider undergoing breast augmentation surgery. Breast implants can enhance the volume, size, and shape of the breasts. Women may also consider other breast surgeries for surgical enhancement, such as breast lift surgery or breast reduction surgery. The former can improve the perkiness of breasts that droop or sag, and the latter can help reduce the size of breasts that are disproportionately large.
After having a child, many women may find that their stomachs are stretched out a great deal, causing stretch marks and loose skin. To address that, there is tummy tuck (abdominoplasty). There is actually a whole host of options consider that fall under the category of body contouring surgery after major weight loss. This is for mommy makeover surgeries following pregnancy as well as surgeries for contour revision after bariatric surgery.
As you get on in your adulthood, it’s common for some lines and sagging to occur on the face. There are different facelift and facial contouring surgeries to consider for the revision of the different areas of the face. Each can help rejuvenate your appearance and make you look younger.
Cosmetic Surgery Options for the Elderly
As you get older, facial contouring surgeries, spider vein treatments, and other skin care procedures are more likely. These can help preserve and enhance your appearance later in life. One surgery of particular importance is cosmetic eyelift surgery (blepharoplasty). This will help reduce any drooping or sagging of the upper eyelids or lower eyelids, which not only makes you look younger and more energetic, but can also improve your vision as well.
