Some boomers undergo cosmetic procedures to stay competitive on the job. Plenty of others wait until the rat race is over, and view a nip and a tuck as the ultimate reward in retirement. But does it make sense, financially or medically, to get some work done after youre done with work? Those 55 and over accounted for a quarter of all cosmetic-procedure patients in 2013, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. The total number of cosmetic procedures performed on this groupincluding minimally invasive treatments such as facial fillers as well as more involved surgeriesrose 4% from 2012 to 2013, to 3.8 million. The five most common cosmetic surgical procedures in the 55-plus demographic, in descending order, were: face-lift, forehead lift, ear reshaping, hair transplantation and pectoral implants. (Among all ages, nose reshaping was the most popular cosmetic surgery procedure in 2013.) People over 50 go under the knife for all sorts of reasons, plastic surgeons report. While some are seeking a boost before re-entering the dating scene, some happily married or happily single patients want their looks to better reflect the way they feel, while others want their clothes to fit better.

October 13, 2014 Provided by Dwight Angell, Henry Ford Health System Patients who have plastic surgery to reshape their bodies after bariatric procedures are able to maintain significantly greater weight loss than those who do not have surgery, according to a new study by Henry Ford Hospital researchers. As plastic and reconstructive surgeons, we are encouraged by the idea that improved body image can translate into better long-term maintenance of a healthier weight, and possibly a better quality of life for our patients, says Donna Tepper, M.D., a Henry Ford plastic surgeon and senior author of the study. Study results will be presented Oct. 11 at the annual conference of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons in Chicago. Used to help obese patients lose weight, bariatric surgery includes several types of procedures that limit the amount of food the stomach can hold, including removal of a portion of the stomach or constricting it with a gastric band. Such weight loss can be significant, and result in a lower risk of diabetes and heart disease. Bariatric surgery has a measurably significant positive impact on patient illness and death, Dr. Tepper says. However, even with the technical and safety advancements weve seen … Continue reading →

Chicago (PRWEB) October 11, 2014 Older men and women who choose to undergo cosmetic procedures remain safe and have complications at a rate no different than their younger counterparts, according to a recent study that will be presented at Plastic Surgery The Meeting, the annual scientific meeting of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), Oct. 10-14, in Chicago. With increasing number of elderly patients seeking aesthetic surgery there is a need to better understand the complications of cosmetic procedures unique to this population, said, Dr. Yezhelyev. Our study demonstrated that patients over 65 years old can safely undergo cosmetic procedures with a complications rate similar to younger patients when surgery is performed by board certified plastic surgeon." As the U.S. population ages, numerous men and women age 65 and older are opting for cosmetic enhancement procedures. An extensive review of information from May 2008 to May 2013 from the CosmetAssure database illustrated that postoperative complications among the elderly occurred at a rate of 1.94 percent, statistically insignificant from the complication rate among younger patients, which was 1.84 percent. For this study, the mean age of the senior patient was 69.1 years while the mean age of the younger patient … Continue reading →
