click on your age above for your stage of life
mid fifties to mid sixties
Still at work and with the kids starting to leave home, we are ready for new adventures in our life so we don’t want to look run down.
This is the time when we will need a combination of surgery and dermal fillers to maintain and restore the natural definition of our jaw line and the youthful contours of our cheeks.
Btx and dermal fillers are still every bit as effective in reducing facial folds, and wrinkles, reducing the heavy jowl (Figure 1) and correction of the deep fold on the corner of the mouth. (Figure 2).
Equally, upper and lower eyelid surgery is the only real option for removing the excess skin and eye bags that come with age (Figure 3). This is also the time, where most women choose to have face and necklift (Figure 4)
Along with our face, the loss of skin and muscle tone to the body also causes sagging and bulging prompts many women at this age to seek body surgery, such as liposculpturing to the waistline, hips and thighs, a tummy tuck (Figure 5) or a brachailplasty for “tuckshop” arms (Figure 6).
Hormonal changes at this age can also cause breasts to become fuller in some patients who will require a breast reduction and lift . This also helps to alleviate chronic functional problems with large breasts such as neck pain as well as difficulties such as fitting into clothes.
Skin care also needs to be more rigorous at this age, combining your daily routine with medical grade skin care products along with treatments such as light based laser therapy /IPL for skin pigmentation and microderabrasion treatments.
