What will happen when plastic surgery gets old

The aging effect after cosmetic surgery varies from person to person, mainly depending on the type of surgery, postoperative care, and individual differences. In most cases, implants or fillers may experience displacement, absorption, or morphological changes with age, and the effectiveness of tightening surgeries such as facelifts may gradually weaken due to skin laxity. In rare cases, long-term complications such as scar hyperplasia and tissue adhesion may occur, and regular follow-up evaluations are necessary.

Facial filling surgery such as hyaluronic acid injection will gradually be absorbed with metabolism, and repeated injections are needed to maintain the effect. During the aging process, there may be asymmetry or blurred contours in the filling area, especially in dynamic areas such as nasolabial folds and apple muscles that are more susceptible to gravity. Implanting prostheses such as nose or breast augmentation may cause tissue atrophy, resulting in the contour of the prosthesis becoming visible, or may cause sagging and displacement due to gravity. Although facelift surgery can improve laxity in the short term, it cannot prevent the natural aging process, and secondary adjustments may be necessary 5-10 years after surgery. The protein threads enhanced by thread carving will be absorbed, and the lifting effect usually lasts for 1-2 years. In rare cases, silicone implants implanted in early years may experience capsule contraction, leading to local hardening and deformation. Repeated injection filling may cause tissue fibrosis and affect facial microcirculation. Scars left over from open surgery may become more pronounced as the skin becomes thinner. There is a risk of rupture and leakage in implants that have not been replaced for a long time, especially when breast augmentation implants have not been replaced for more than 15 years. Multiple surgeries may also accelerate skin aging due to local blood supply damage.

It is recommended to strictly protect against sun exposure after surgery to avoid worsening photoaging, and to undergo ultrasound or MRI examination of the implant status every year. Choosing a reversible surgical plan is more conducive to later adjustments, avoiding excessive pursuit of youthfulness and damaging the natural proportion of the face. If abnormal pain, deformation or infection symptoms occur, seek medical attention promptly. After the age of 40, it is recommended to evaluate the stability of surgical outcomes every 3-5 years. Daily use can be combined with radiofrequency instruments to delay skin laxity, but it is necessary to avoid operating in the implant area.
