Is there a “right” age to pursue plastic surgery?
There is no general rule as to the right age for having a plastic surgery. As a matter of fact, establishing how appropriate a given type of procedure is should be based on individual cases, looking at the patient’s unique body type and aging process. Obviously, there are some age tendencies for certain procedures. Facelifts typically are not performed on patients under 30, because mini-lifts or laser procedures might be suggested instead, however, this is not a rule. Otoplasty, on the other hand, is appropriate for all adults or even patients as young as 5 years old.
