younger patients

As a board-certified plastic surgeon, it means a lot to be able to assist any of my patients by helping them improve their appearance, regardless of their age. But it has been extremely gratifying in recent years to see a surge in demand for cosmetic surgery procedures among younger patients. Whether it be for aesthetic maintenance, preemptive care to fight off signs of aging before they occur, or any other purpose, undergoing cosmetic surgery can be incredibly beneficial for millennials and other younger patients. Today I wanted to discuss what specific procedures can be most helpful for younger patients.

When speaking with younger patients, one procedure that comes up most commonly is mommy makeover surgery. While it may seem that this combined plastic surgery is more intended to help older patients based on its name, the truth is that younger women also experience aesthetic issues that the mommy makeover is designed to help address. A mommy makeover can help recontour the breasts (by adding lost volume with implants and/or addressing breast sagging with a breast lift), while helping repair muscle damage and removing excess abdominal skin after pregnancy.

Check out my recent video where I discuss how undergoing a mommy makeover can be highly beneficial for younger plastic surgery patients:

It’s wonderful to know that the era when plastic surgery was perceived as something that was only for older patients is long behind us.
