Understanding Aging
If we don’t know what the problem is, how can we fix it? If we don’t understand the aging process throughout life, we don’t know how to fix it. Finding a plastic surgeon who understands the aging process and can address the issues here can be key to aging naturally. Below, you’ll find some of the most common aging concerns, along with surgical and nonsurgical methods to correct them. Your Twenties When you’re in your twenties, you’ve finally reached adulthood, so drinking alcohol, smoking, and getting a tan in the summer sun are common activities. We spend our twenties discovering who we are, and depending on your lifestyle, our skin can take its toll.
Here, the key is to develop a skin care regimen that includes daily sunscreen, limiting alcohol consumption, exercising regularly, and definitely not smoking. Smoking and sun exposure accelerate the aging process. Popular nonsurgical and surgical procedures for this age group include skin resurfacing, rhinoplasty, breast augmentation, Botulinum toxin applications, laser hair removal, and soft tissue fillers.
Your Thirties In your thirties, stress, combined with the loss of elastin (which keeps your skin supple) and collagen (which keeps your skin soft and firm), accelerates aging. Maybe you're advancing in your career, starting a family, or a combination of the two. Your thirties are a stressful time, and your body knows it.
