Seven percent of cosmetic operations performed in 2000 were performed in succession women and men age 65 and older according to a Feb 1 2002 moderns release from the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Since 1997 the number of cosmetic managements performed on people in this age cluster has increased by 352%. There are special considerations when performing plastic surgery upon people of this age clump but age is not a contraindication to surgery

undivided of the factors that affects the quality and longevity of cosmetic surgery follows is skin elasticity, which diminishes with age. Patients who wait until later in life to pass through their first cosmetic procedure may not view the same results as a younger patient or a human frame who has undergone previous cosmetic deeds but results still can be dramatic.

For older patients, surgical techniques may ne to be altered. When performing a facelift forward patients with thinning hair, for example, the surgeon may ne to place incisions to better camouflage scars. Older patients also may single out to have their earlobes reduc when undergoing a facelift because earlobes bourgeon and stretch with age and may anticipate out of proportion after a facial procedure

When performing eyelid surgery in succession older patients, tissue removal may ne to be more conservative because patients may have a greater disposition to develop "dry eye." Older adults may fix upon to have several mild facial strip offs as opposed to one astute chemical peel because their skin is thin. They also may ne a modified "tummy tuck" when undergoing lipoplasty to prepare rid of excess skin that has forfeited its elasticity.

Extra precautions may be necessary for older patients with certain emblems of medical conditions. This may mean that additional medical personnel are stand in want ofed during the procedure or that the manner of proceeding should be performed in a hospital. Special accommodations increase the require to be paid [i]or[/i] undergone of surgery. Patients age 65 and older also may require longer restoration periods than younger patients. Their bruising may take longer to subside, and incisions may take longer to heal.
