Senior patients should think twice about plastic surgery

Octogenarians love beauty to get rid of bags under the eyes Elderly patients plastic surgery to think twice This newspaper hearing 85-year-old grandfather to do plastic surgery, this thing is a bit rare. Recently, 85-year-old grandfather Li walked into the ward of the Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery of the Second 54th Hospital of the People’s Liberation Army and successfully got rid of the bags under his eyes. Seeing that he became younger, he said he would have to undergo a facelift later. Grandpa Li originally came for cataract surgery, and after successfully curing the cataract, the old man regained the sight of both eyes. At this time, Grandpa Li was again dissatisfied with his sagging eye bags, so he came to the plastic surgery department of the hospital for consultation. “Although plastic surgery is not exclusive to young people, any surgery requires the patient’s body to meet certain standards before it can be performed, and there are risks associated with any surgery, so senior patients should think twice about having plastic surgery.” said Yao Qingjun, chief of the Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. But Grandpa Li felt that he was in good health and remained firm in his attitude, asking for the surgery. In view of Grandpa Li’s advanced age, the hospital consulted the elderly’s children, who said they respected his choice. After that, Director Yao performed a detailed physical examination and the results showed that the old man was in good health and could undergo the surgery. Director Yao said that although removing eye bags is a minor surgery, it is the first time to do it to such an elderly patient. The surgery was very successful, and the old man has gradually recovered and said that he would continue to be “beautiful to the end” and have another facelift surgery.
