Physical Aging Often Begins in Your 30’s

By our thirties we’re hitting our stride, raising families and building careers with our confidence and assertiveness on full display. Even though we may feel as young as ever, our bodies may tell another story. Our faces show more lines and creases. We gain weight more easily and take longer to work it off. For thirty-something women, especially mothers, we notice some stretching and drooping of our skin and breasts. To maintain our body confidence, it’s important now to heed tips for staying healthy—especially focusing on personal fitness and preventing excessive weight gain. It’s also a great time to explore injection therapies to treat forehead frown lines and laugh lines; consider post-pregnancy plastic surgery procedures for women over thirty to lift or enhance the breasts and tighten the tummy; or find out how cosmetic surgery can contour the hips and thighs. Especially after pregnancy, many women find a “mommy makeover” restores their body confidence.

Advice for Baby Boomers

In our fifties and sixties we’re still working hard, and many of us are putting kids through college—while enjoying more free time now that they’re grown up. It’s no time to slow down, or look run down either. But the effects of aging are accelerating now, and even the most youthful among us may notice deeper wrinkles, a sagging jaw line, folds in the neck, or sinking cheeks, while gravity takes its toll on the rest of the body too. At this stage, aging gracefully is easier with the help of popular plastic surgery procedures. Surgical facial rejuvenation can restore your natural jaw line; a combination of surgical procedures and fillers can restore the fullness of your cheeks; chemical peels or laser-based treatments can bring the glow back to your skin. Nose reshaping can refine your profile, while skin tightening and contouring procedures return other parts of your body to a more familiar appearance. Remember, healthy aging means continuing your exercise routine, eating right, and avoiding smoking and excess sun exposure. Plastic surgery procedures can further restore and enhance your natural beauty.
