It seems that more people who are slowly aging are opting for surgery to look younger.
According to reports, face lifts are up 14% this year.
Thankfully, people are opting less for that overly-pulled back face lift appearance – think Joan Rivers.
Instead, they’re leaning more towards “refilling and resurfacing than cutting and tightening.” More like Madonna‘s fabulous new look.
Plastic surgeon and spokesperson for the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, Dr. Darrick Antell, says “We’re seeing a much different approach today. Plastic surgery should whisper, not scream. Today, instead of tightening the neck, there is a resuspending of the muscles in the face.”
And according to the doc, the baby boomers seem to be the ones responsible for the rise in surgery after realizing that fillers, such as Juvederm, don’t work that well.
Dr. Antell adds, “If you just keep filling up a face with fillers, after awhile you look like the Michelin man or a squirrel with a mouthful of nuts. You actually have to lift the skin up.”
Plastic surgeon Dr. David Rosenberg says his main goal is to give a patient “an age appropriate rejuvenation where they look absolutely fabulous for their age.”
What’s too young to start, bbs????
“It’s not as much a pulling back of the skin as it is a muscle correction,” says Dr. Rosenberg, “In the cheek, I go under the fat pad and re-support it to a place where it was earlier in time to recreate a younger looking cheek. I go under the muscles along the jawline and neck, and resupport them back to a more youthful position.”
And it seems there’s a quicker recovery time as well. He adds, “A person looks good at seven days and very good at 14 days.”
