Plastic Surgery Through the Decades: Your Guide to Age-Defying Transformations

Welcome to a journey through the ages, where we fill you in on the top-rated surgical procedures voted most popular by age group. At CosmetiCare in Newport Beach, we are here to help guide you on the top treatments for every stage of your life, so that you always remain confident in how you both look and feel.

20s: The Age of Discovery

Your twenties are a time for adventures, self-discovery, and sometimes, a touch of aesthetic enhancement. For many in this age group, the main focus is on enhancing natural beauty and boosting confidence. The most popular surgical procedures in your 20s include:

• Breast Augmentation: Welcome new curves with breast implants, a choice for many women looking to enhance their cleavage, create volume, or address asymmetry
•  Rhinoplasty: Refine your profile with a “nose job”, perfect for those wanting to achieve facial harmony and balance. Dr. Niccole, owner and Medical Director specializes in rhinoplasty procedures as he is double board-certified in plastic surgery and in ENT. This allows him to assist patients with their cosmetic goals as well as medical issues like deviated septum, sinus correction, and more.

30s: Say Hello to Refinement

As you enter your 30s, you may begin to notice signs of aging, or your body has changed since having children. You may also have had aesthetic procedures in the past, and your aesthetic goals have changed. This decade often sees procedures aimed at refining and rejuvenating, such as:

• Mommy Makeover: For new moms or those looking to reclaim their pre-baby bodies, this combination of surgical procedures (tummy tuck, breast lift, and more) is a game-changer for many patients. Dr. Reagan of CosmetiCare performs a signature “drain-less tummy tuck” making recovery more comfortable and allows patients to stand straight up much quicker than with drains.
• Liposuction: To help eliminate stubborn fat, and create smooth body contours and a sleeker silhouette.
• Breast Implant Exchange: A fan favorite at CosmetiCare! Whether it’s enhancing volume, going larger or smaller, or restoring post-pregnancy changes, breast implant exchange is a go-to.

40s: Embracing A New You

In your 40s, patients are all about embracing the beauty of aging gracefully. Not fully ready for a full “ facelift,” we offer many less invasive surgical options that can help restore your youth without committing to a larger surgery. The 40s often call for procedures that restore and refresh:

• Fat transfer: Takes unwanted fat from one area of the body and adds it to another to help restore volume and more. A double win in our opinion! Most commonly performed under the eyes to address hollowness.
• Breast lift: Reshape your breast tissue for a more uplifted and fuller appearance. Helps to alleviate back problems, restore confidence, and provide more freedom in clothing choices. Often combined with a breast augmentation to help reach optimal volume goals.
• Eyelid surgery: This procedure formally referred to as a blepharoplasty addresses drooping eyelids and under eye bags. 

50s and Beyond: Aging Gracefully

Entering the “golden years,” we’re all about helping you to feel the absolute best, and looking fabulous while doing it! Procedures in this age range focus on natural-looking results and tightening:

• Facelift: Turn back the clock with a facelift, addressing drooping skin and wrinkles for a rejuvenated appearance.
• Neck Lift: A neck lift tightens and smooths for a more defined jawline, removing excess skin and allowing your natural beauty to shine through.
• Breast implant explantation: Many patients also wish to remove their past breast implants as they no longer desire the volume they once dreamed of. Dr. Q of CosmetiCare performs her signature “breast flap” procedure to those wanting to restore a natural appearance without replacing their breast implants. This creates a feminine and more youthful look that many patients desire.
