Plastic Surgeon in the Bay Area Discusses Plastic Surgery Tips for Aging in One's Twenties
Dr. Lauren Greenberg, a board-certified plastic surgeon in the Bay Area and avid blogger, has announced she will be running a series of age-related tips on which cosmetic enhancements to choose and how to look one’s best at any age. In this installment of the series, Dr. Greenberg discusses procedures which can enhance one’s natural beauty during their twenties as well as preemptive treatments that can alleviate future aesthetic concerns as the physical tolls of aging begin to take effect.
Board-certified Bay Area plastic surgeon Dr. Lauren Greenberg is announcing a new series of cosmetic surgery tips for the ages, highlighting which aesthetic enhancements can achieve the most effective results at various age groups. An avid blogger, Dr. Greenberg will focus on how to feel confident and look one’s best during their twenties by enhancing certain features through surgical, non-invasive, and skin care treatments. She suggests several tips for reducing the signs of aging later in life including proper skin care and preventative surgery to take advantage of skin’s youthful resilience.
In addition to taking care of one’s skin through daily routines of facial products and protective sunscreen, Dr. Greenberg says limiting alcohol and tobacco can help keep skin youthful and vibrant, as the two substances speed up the physical signs of aging on skin. She also adds that eating foods that are high in antioxidants will rejuvenate and refresh skin tone and prevent damage to one’s complexion. Also, while many patients look to cosmetic procedures to enhance their appearance and defend against wrinkles and fine lines, Dr. Greenberg says non-surgical treatments such as chemical peels, dermal fillers, and BOTOX® Cosmetic are not preventative and need only be used in certain cases, for example if a patient has a single, deep facial line.
“BOTOX® is not a preventative measure. Patients are being told that it is and they are basically wasting their money. There are wiser places to spend the money that will provide the increased confidence and satisfaction patients want.”
For patients looking to make more significant changes to their appearance by toning their figure and eliminating loose skin, Dr. Greenberg says liposuction can be used for a pre-mommy makeover. Because skin tone in the twenties is still durable and elastic, she says patients can achieve more pronounced and effective results than they might after skin has lost some of its vitality due to pregnancy or age-related sagging. Dr. Greenberg adds that undergoing a mommy makeover procedure either before or after pregnancy can help women enjoy the wonders of motherhood while still feeling confident about their bodies.
“The traditional mommy makeover combines procedures such as the tummy tuck and breast augmentation to address the areas commonly affected by pregnancy and child birth. I recommend liposuction for a pre-mommy makeover because fat pockets don’t change.”
Dr. Greenberg also says preemptive measures such as liposuction, a procedure often associated with mommy makeovers, can utilize the durability and vitality of young skin to preserve one’s youthful appearance for the future. “A patient in their twenties considering liposuction can take advantage of the youthful, elastic state of their skin and improve the overall aesthetic outcome. While it may not be essential, liposuction as a preventative measure can help a patient address areas that bother them now while their ability to bounce back is greater.”
As with all cosmetic enhancements, Dr. Greenberg urges patients to consult with a board-certified, experienced plastic surgeon and a dedicated staff before undergoing any procedure. She says that through partnership with a passionate plastic surgery practice, patients can achieve the highest quality results and a positive experience.
