Garcia Plastic Surgery Post-Menopausal Cosmetic Procedures in Jacksonville, Across the Pond on the Rise


The number of women age 50 and older opting for plastic surgery and other cosmetic procedures is on a surprisingly steep rise in the U.K. according to results of a new study by the Harley Medical Group, one of the U.K. and Republic of Ireland's leading cosmetic surgery groups. Research shows that the number of women age 50 and older booking cosmetic procedures including dermal fillers, laser treatment and skin peels rose nearly 70 percent over the past year across the Pond. Plastic surgeons here in the United States report similar increases in their firms. In fact, research shows that cosmetic surgery after age 65 has increased nearly six-fold since 1997 in the U.S.




Compared to prior generations, people today are staying healthier and more active longer. They've skipped the rocking chair for the StairMaster. Yet, there has been no change in the way the body and face ages. Menopause still happens. Estrogen drops make it harder for the skin to retain moisture or to produce collagen and elastin. While the cells in younger women's skin are replenished every 26 to 28 days, post-menopausal women replenish their cells every 50 days, which gives skin a duller, more sallow appearance. Age also weakens the color-producing cells in the skin, leading to uneven skin pigmentation known as "age spots." Add hair loss and weight gain common with aging and you've got full generations of people who look significantly older than they feel.

Also, maintaining a youthful look increasingly means maintaining a competitive look. Current economic troubles have people working well into what might have been their retirement years or competing for new jobs after layoffs. And Middle-age divorcees feel pressure to compete with younger romantic rivals. The result is an increased interest in both plastic surgery and non-invasive cosmetic procedures designed to provide a natural, refreshed and younger look.

"People want a look that matches their outlook on life," says Dr. Roberto Garcia of Garcia Facial Plastic Surgery in Jacksonville, FL. "More and more, the 50-and-older crowd are discovering that facial plastic surgery and less invasive cosmetic procedures, along with good nutrition and regular exercise can help them look as vibrant as they feel."

One needs only to consider the likes of 72-year-old actress Jane Fonda and 70-year-old Raquel Welch to see that aging doesn't have to look the way it once did. If the look you see in the mirror doesn't live up to your own outlook and lifestyle, contact Garcia Facial Plastic Surgery near Jacksonville at 904-247-8522 to schedule a consultation.
