Aesthetic surgery trends vary significantly across different age groups, as individuals seek procedures tailored to their specific aesthetic goals and age-related concerns. A person in their upper teens or early 20s is likely to have different goals for their appearance than someone in their 50s or beyond. The important thing is that no matter your age, you can choose the path that’s right for you.
At Quintessa, we work with patients of all ages, from teenagers to older adults. No matter your age, we will answer your questions, listen to your concerns, and help you make the best decisions based on your unique circumstances.
Here’s a look at the most popular surgeries by age group:
Teens
For teenagers, cosmetic surgery often addresses physical features that may cause self-consciousness or social challenges.
- Otoplasty (ear pinning) is a common procedure particularly for those with prominent ears.
- Abnormal or disproportionate breast growth can cause significant functional and self-esteem benefits. Breast reduction for girls and boys with gynecomastia can improve young people’s confidence and health.
- Rhinoplasty (nose reshaping) can help teens who are unhappy with the appearance of their nose due to genetic factors or injury, addressing both functional breathing issues and aesthetic concerns that may impact confidence during these formative years.
These procedures are generally aimed at boosting self-confidence rather than addressing age-related changes.
Ages 20–30
Young adults often opt for surgeries that enhance or refine their natural features.
- Breast surgery is one of the most sought-after procedures in this age range, as many individuals aim to achieve their desired breast size and shape. This can include breast augmentation with or without lift and breast reduction.
- Liposuction is also popular, particularly for sculpting stubborn areas of fat that resist diet and exercise. This can be performed throughout the body including face, neck, breast, abdomen, back, hips, thighs, and around the knee.
- Fat transfer is another option to improve contours and add volume to different areas throughout the body, including breasts, face, hip dips, and buttocks.
Ages 40–50
In this age group, the focus of most procedures shifts to combating early signs of aging.
- Facelifts, eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), and neck lifts are common, as they help address sagging skin, wrinkles, and other visible effects of aging.
- Breast lifts (with or without implants) and reductions are also popular among women seeking to restore a youthful appearance to their breasts.
- Liposuction and tummy tucks (abdominoplasty) are frequently chosen by individuals aiming to address changes in body shape often associated with age or post-pregnancy.
Ages 60 and Beyond
For this age group, cosmetic surgery commonly focuses on achieving a rejuvenated appearance while maintaining natural results.
- Facelifts and neck lifts remain highly popular, along with brow lifts to address drooping eyebrows.
- Eyelid surgery is another common choice, as it can significantly refresh the eyes and improve vision if sagging skin obstructs sight.
- Fat transfer procedures are increasingly sought after in this age group, as they can restore lost volume to the face while softening deep creases and hollows that occur with advanced aging.
Each age group has its own unique set of aesthetic priorities, and advancements in cosmetic surgery have made it possible to achieve these goals safely and effectively at nearly any stage of life.
