How To: Aging Gracefully in Your 40's, 50's and 60's As we age, we experience different changes in our expectations about how we look. At the same time our bodies begin to show the signs of aging. Over time, we notice a little dropping and a little sagging. This is just a part of life, but fortunately, there are many solutions to age gracefully through the decades not only for women but men as well. Whether you’d like to restore definition and volume to your face or rejuvenate your skin, you can be beautiful at any age with the help of non-surgical and surgical cosmetic options.

Ages 35-50 Between the ages of 35 and 50, your goal is to slow down the hands of time. This is also a time when most people have established their families and tend to have more time to think about their own looks. This is also the largest age group for plastic surgery and makes up 40% of the cosmetic surgical procedures performed in 2014. Goal: Stay fresh and revitalized. Surgical Treatments: -
Eyelid Surgery - Removes and/or repositions:
Excess skin and fatty tissue on upper, lower, or both eyelids
Lifts eyelids for a more refreshed, rejuvenated, awake look
That tired look that you see in your eyes after a certain age can be easily and discreetly corrected. Restoring your eyes through eyelid surgery can help you capture a bit of that youthful, healthy look. You will appear fresher and younger. Your eyes will be more vibrant and alert without changing their natural shape. –Dr. Hernandez
