Recently I have had a lot of kids in their 20’s come to me for facelift surgery. If we follow the common sense in the past, the corresponding age for facelift surgery should be after 40 years old. However, upon my examination, the children’s skin is indeed very loose, the face already has grooves and the texture is very poor, which I attribute to a state of premature aging. There is a more recognized statement on the internet that you should do hydrafacials at 20, thread sculpting and thermage at 30, and consider a facelift after 40 or 50. Admittedly, in most cases this statement is realistic. But now with the advancement of technology and the accelerated pace of life, many children are not only nutritionally unbalanced, but also hold the phone every day, and a variety of platforms are increasingly able to capture your preferences. Whether it is to stay up late to work overtime, or can not put the phone leads to stay up late, it is true that many children have the problem of premature aging. What is premature aging, it boils down to poor skin elasticity. 20 years old or so, the skin should be tightly attached to the face, but now some children hit the eye is obviously loose sagging, hand a stretch, the whole skin presents a trembling state. And it’s not due to excess fat, it’s a noticeable floppiness of the facial tissues. Through many children with premature aging, I also summarized some reasons for premature aging: genetic premature aging. In my family, not only my own skin is loose, but my mom’s skin is also loose, while my younger brother, who is still in school, also appears to have loose and flabby skin. They are only in their early 20s, and their faces already have grooves and gullies, which is known as progeria in our colloquial language. Bad habits. Life is not regular, hungry meal full a section, hungry to eat, want to eat what eat what, do not pay attention to nutritional collocation, partiality is very serious. I’ve seen children with progeria, 90% of them have the habit of staying up late, and even smoking and drinking at a young age, which has a very bad effect on the skin. Lack of regular exercise. Do not pay attention to sun protection. Some children are engaged in outdoor work, long time exposure to ultraviolet radiation, but do not pay attention to sun protection, can also cause skin damage, resulting in pigmentation and skin aging and sagging problems. Makeup. Some girls need to wear heavy makeup for a long time due to their profession, which causes the skin to be unable to breathe effectively and causes damage to the skin. I think it’s okay to wear makeup, but you should remove it after work so that your skin can breathe naturally for at least 10 hours. Makeup removal must be thorough, do not feel too tired today, take the water casually a flutter is to wash your face, must use makeup remover to thoroughly remove makeup. For the prevention of premature aging, the first thing to do is to correct the above points. Every day to do a do exercise, also do a skin care, have time to the dermatology department to play a water light, the introduction of nutritional needles, can effectively maintain a young state. If you are currently experiencing symptoms of premature aging, you may want to consider dermatologic treatments such as Thermage, UltraSonic, etc., to improve your skin in a timely manner. Although I am a plastic surgeon myself, I think it is important to be cautious about surgical anti-aging and not seek out plastic surgery if dermatology can fix it. If Thermage does not work well, you can also consider less invasive procedures such as thread sculpting first, and put the facelift as the last step.
