Why are Baby Boomers getting plastic surgery?

Baby boomers are getting more plastic surgery due to the popularity and acceptance of these procedures.  They want to stay looking as young and competitive as they feel. Thanks to improvements in science and technology plastic surgeons are able to do more minimally invasive procedures, without general anesthesia and without hospitalization.
People are living longer, and the baby boomer generation started turning 65 five years ago, so there are more people over 65 than in the past. But even accounting for that, the rate of eyelid surgeries in that age group has risen 62 percent and the rate of facelifts has doubled.

Why Is That?

  • Cosmetic procedures are widely accepted and more easily accessible. Plastic surgery, once considered a luxury only for the wealthy and the celebrities has become more affordable and procedure financing is widely available.
  • Stay competitive in the job field. Baby boomer wants to avoid age discrimination in the workplace and wants to stay competitive.
  • Non-invasive procedures. As technology improves, patients can now receive 15 minute makeovers with dermal fillers and laser treatments and go back to work or their daily routines without downtime.

A visit to a plastic surgeons has become much more common for the baby boomer generation, as this age group is more active and physically fit and more concerned with their appearance than ever before.  With more procedures available there are plenty of options for boomers to improve their appearance with safe, non-invasive treatments that provide amazing natural results.
