Born between the early 1960s and the early 1980s, many Gen Xers are in a place in their lives where they’re financially stable, and many have already completed their families. Demand for plastic surgery has grown considerably among this generation for several reasons. A significant portion of society now accepts plastic surgery as a tool that can be used to enhance one’s natural appearance. Eager to make the most of the plastic surgery, Gen Xers are particularly fond of the following four procedures.
1. Tummy Tuck
Because many Gen X women have finished having children, they may choose to get a tummy tuck at this stage of life. A tummy tuck can address the effects of pregnancy by removing excess abdominal skin and repairing stomach muscles. And tummy tucks aren’t only the domain of women. More men are showing interest in abdominoplasty to help bring better definition to their abdomens.
2. Liposuction
Liposuction can also be an effective post-pregnancy procedure, as small pockets of stubborn fat in the belly, hips and thighs can be difficult to get rid of through diet and exercise alone. It’s also quite common among Gen Xers to combine liposuction with a tummy tuck for more comprehensive results.
3. Breast Augmentation
Breast implants continue to be one of the most common procedures for Gen Xers, for many of the reasons already mentioned. While some women opt for a breast augmentation alone, others decide to combine the procedure with a tummy tuck and liposuction in a mommy makeover.
4. Breast Lift
If breast sagging is an issue, a breast lift can help to restore a lifted, firmer appearance. Although a breast lift can offer excellent results on its own, the procedure can be combined with a breast augmentation or mommy makeover for an overall improvement.
