Many New Yorkers are now opting for follow-up facelifts, with surgeons reporting a 30% increase in patients seeking second procedures. Factors influencing this trend include younger individuals starting facelifts earlier and advancements in surgical techniques. Patients, like renowned hairdresser Paul Labrecque, cite professional pressures and the impact of medication-induced weight loss on appearance. While many request repeat surgeries, they often aim for a realistic look rather than trying to recapture their youth, marking a shift in attitudes towards aging.
"I am seeing a lot of patients in their late 50s and early 60s coming in for second facelifts. I would say this is up 30% since a year ago." Dr. Sean Alemi, a plastic surgeon, highlights the rising trend of repeat facelifts among older New Yorkers, reflecting changing attitudes towards aging.
"I am in a young person's profession and I want to look current and not tired," says Paul Labrecque, illustrating how industry pressures motivate older adults to seek cosmetic procedures repeatedly to maintain a youthful appearance.
"I see more people coming in at 40 to 45 for primary lifts, rather than at 50 to 55...because they are aware of newer techniques, and they want to jump on them," explains Dr. Robert Schwarcz. This indicates a shift towards younger individuals seeking cosmetic enhancements.
"They don't want to look 25 again; they simply want to look good for their age," notes Dr. Babak Azizzadeh, emphasizing a desire for realistic expectations with repeat facelifts.
