Aging After Plastic Surgery?

Question

I was wondering. When plastic surgery is done when young it look all fine and dandy. But when you age, does it look more and more plastic looking on the face? Or is that because they did more plastic surgery in that age? Or oily skin makes it look more plastic? Help?

The plastic look is not caused by when u have surgery, but rather by bad plastic surgery at whatever age. Choose a surgeon who does natural plastic surgery to avoid the "plastic surgery look"!

Properly performed plastic surgery ages quite well with the facial features.  Plastic surgery will not change the aging process.  Patients continue to age after their facelift or eyelid surgery.  It is important to have a natural appearance and not look operated upon.

I think depending upon the specific procedure and patient pathology it is ok to perform surgery at a "younger" age.  If done well and under the right indications it should look good at any age.

I think doing plastic surgery at a young age is fine.  It should not make you look plastic, not sure what you mean by that.  Afterwards, the use of SPF is your greatest defense in keeping that look.  Especially, since you live in Australia. Other things I like are lasers, injectables such as Botox and Juvederm to keep the maintance of the procedure.  Look for a great surgeon or Dermatologist in your area to help you.

For some people the goal of plastic surgery is to look as if they have had surgery. However, for others it is a subtle enhancement of their features. Communication between the surgeon and patient will ultimately determine the final outcome; plastic or not.
