The Top Three Cosmetic Treatments for People in Their 30s
With the old stigma around cosmetic surgery and procedures falling away, it’s not surprising that cosmetic treatments for people in their 30s are on the rise.
Most people experience the first signs of aging, like fine lines and minor wrinkles, during their 30s. In addition, a lot of people’s breasts experience a change in size, shape, and appearance by their 30s.
People ages 30-39 account for around 16% of plastic surgery patients. Yet, minimally invasive procedures lead the way in popularity.
What Are the Top Three Cosmetic Treatments for People in Their 30s?
The older we get, the easier it is to put on weight. What’s more, it’s harder to lose excess weight. Especially in areas like the midsection, arms, and flanks. This is what makes liposuction a great procedure for people in their 30s looking to maintain some of their body contour.
But getting ahead of the “aging” curve that brings wrinkles and lines makes injectables like fillers and Botox an attractive option for this age group too.
Finally, with the constant body shape fluctuations due to puberty, pregnancy, and or/age, women and men alike in their 30s are requesting various breast procedures.
We’ll dig a little deeper.
- Liposuction
Liposuction is a fairly simple treatment with the surgeon making tiny incisions in the treatment area, inserting a fine cannula, and suctioning out the fat. Since the incisions are small enough to heal on their own, downtime is extremely minimal. And it’s an effective way to get rid of stubborn fat that won’t go away with diet and exercise.
- Anti-Aging Injectables
Elastin and collagen levels decrease as we age. This results in a decrease in facial fullness and the formation of lines that typically show up in our 30s. These lines are the precursors to deep wrinkles that occur in the next few decades. So, focusing on preventative care and minor corrections before hard lines and wrinkles form is favorable for people in their 30s.
Dermal fillers are a great choice for correcting minor imperfections as well as adding and replenishing volume. Plus, they’re safe for all skin types and tones, and there’s a low risk of allergic reaction. Dermal fillers aren’t meant to drastically change one’s appearance and the results aren’t permanent.
Meanwhile, injectables like Botox prevent muscles from moving for a limited amount of time by blocking nerve signals. It is highly effective in treating signs of aging and smoothing fine lines and wrinkles. It may even reduce the chance of future wrinkles forming.This makes it an attractive option for patients in their 30s.
Skincare experts and plastic surgeons also encourage micro-needling and laser treatments for people in their 30s, as well as the regular use of sunscreen.
- Breast Augmentation
It may surprise you to find out that patients in their 30s comprise 26% of all breast augmentations.
For some, the issue is sagging breasts. These patients benefit from a breast lift procedure, which will remove excess skin and tighten the surrounding tissue to provide an uplifted and more youthful appearance. A lift doesn’t add or remove significant volume. It’s often used in tandem with other procedures.
Other patients in their 30s are seeking a breast reduction, also known as reduction mammoplasty. After a few decades of dealing with poorly fitting clothes, as well as neck, back, and shoulder pain because of oversized breasts, many women are seeking relief. Meanwhile, for men with excessive breast tissue from hormonal changes, heredity, or weight fluctuation, male breast reduction surgery, or gynecomastia, provides a flatter chest.
Finally, because breast implants typically last around 10 to 15 years, some patients in their 30s who had implants in their 20s are ready to replace their implants. In this case, breast implant exchange surgery is recommended as a part of regular maintenance. Additionally, they may decide to get rid of implants or opt for fat transfers instead.
