There are many doubts about the importance of age in plastic surgery, which we are going to explain from two important studies that were carried out at the Cleveland Clinic (Academic Medical Center of Multiple Specialties in the United States) where the Risks of some plastic surgery procedures in elderly patients.

Both studies concluded the same thing: the physiological age of the patient is much more important than the chronological one.

What does this mean?

That what is truly important is the physical condition and health of the patient, and not their age.

But this also makes it clear that there may be people in their 30s whose state of health does not make them candidates for an optional procedure, such as cosmetic surgeries, and people in their 65s in good health, and therefore can be candidates without major problem.

Certainly as the years go by, there are diseases that are associated with age. Such as cardiovascular conditions, which can appear over the years or through external factors such as smoking.

One thing is age, and another the most demanded surgeries according to age

There is an important relationship between age and the most demanded plastic surgeries.

Between 10 and 26 years of age, the most requested surgeries are breast augmentation through the placement of implants, rhinoplasty and liposuction in less quantity.

The latter increases the demand after the age of 30, when women tend to request more operations to help them recover their body after pregnancy, accompanied by abdominoplasty. In this age range, breast lift is also in high demand as a consequence of breastfeeding.

That is why, between the ages of 30 and 45, the famous “mommy makeover” is highly demanded, which includes abdominoplasty, liposuction and augmentation with implants.

After crossing the 45-year-old barrier, the signs of aging begin to be noticed on the face, which is why the demand for facial surgeries increases, in relation to the bag under the eyes that denotes fatigue: blepharoplasty. And corrections of the neck or double chin. At this age, the sagging of the face begins to be noticed and the patient can opt for a facelift.

In conclusion, the age one is can determine the success of plastic surgery due to the condition of the skin. And we can say that due to the demand that arise, each age group has its “plastic surgery“.

Combining several plastic surgeries, apart from using a single anesthesia for several procedures, could reduce the operating cost of plastic surgery, but it is also the most important thing is that the patient is in excellent health.

It is very common for patients to request several plastic surgery procedures to have a single intervention and thus avoid duplicating the postoperative one.
Now, we must bear in mind that there are certain interventions that can be combined, and they must always have been planned from the beginning, with a specific plan and with a clear objective.

Surgeries found in nearby areas with the aim of achieving a complete harmonious result, such as correcting two parts of the face, abdomen with breasts, abdomen with thighs, are possible.

In the event that the areas are remote, a complex intervention is combined with another of less difficulty. Like blepharoplasty mammoplasty, otoplasty mammoplasty.

The “mommy makeover” is the best example of combined surgery, since in a single intervention the abdomen is corrected by means of a tummy tuck that eliminates flaccidity, correction of the breasts (either increase, reduction or breast lift) and body contouring through liposuction. Thus, the changes produced by pregnancy are radically improved. It is one of the combinations with the most satisfying results.

What are the advantages of combining plastic surgeries?
-One entry
-One intervention
-One recovery
-Important economic savings

The main advantage is a single admission to the clinic and a single recovery period. The post-operative may take longer and be more uncomfortable, but without a doubt, it would be only one, so it becomes more bearable.
We must remember that the cost of combined interventions is usually cheaper, since they reduce some costs, such as hospitalization, anesthesia, and other operative factors that plastic surgeries entail.
The success of the combination of interventions depends fundamentally on adequate surgical planning, according to the needs of each patient, where the health and well-being of the patient is paramount.
Some of the most popular combinations

• Abdominoplasty + Liposuction
• Abdominoplasty + Breast Augmentation
• Breast Augmentation + Liposuction
• Breast Augmentation + Lift
• Breast Augmentation + Rhinoplasty
• Rhinoplasty (cosmetic nose surgery) + Septumplastia (functional nose surgery)
• Breast lift + Abdominoplasty
• Abdominoplasty + Liposuction + Gluteal Lipo-injection

It is a set of aesthetic interventions, three to be more precise, whose purpose is to recover the shape of the breasts, abdomen, and eliminate localized fat especially in the thighs and abdomen.

Why is it worth a mommy makeover?
Undoubtedly, pregnancy takes its toll on the mother’s body: the breasts increase in size during lactation and tend to lose shape, and the firmness they had before pregnancy. The uterus expands incredibly and this is very noticeable in the abdomen, as there are very few pregnant women who do not gain weight.

What plastic surgeries does the Mommy makeover include?
Mammoplasty: You can lift sagging breasts after breastfeeding to recover its original shape, but also, you can directly choose a breast augmentation with implants, which would help fill and return to the previous volume.

The option of the implants leaves a scar of smaller size, contrary to the breast lift that leaves a particular scar in the form of T. The breast lift does not increase in size, but visually it will be firmer achieving this perception.

Abdominoplasty: Its main objective is to return the shape of the abdomen, eliminating the folds that can leave the weight change and the bags of fat. The muscles are tightened through a small incision that often helps to eliminate the scar left by the caesarean section, changing it to a more aesthetic one (smaller and finer). The incision for the abdominoplasty will always be according to the flaccidity that the patient presents in the abdominal area, to have better results.

Liposculpture: With the liposuction the fat that is left after the tummy tuck is extracted, achieving the sculpting of the waist and the abdomen according to the patient’s need, and thus obtaining a much more stylized figure.
