At what age should you consider having a cosmetic surgery procedure? There is no right or wrong answer; it usually depends upon what you think is the right time for you.

Whatever your age, when you’re ready, Dr. Landon McLain has the skills and experience to bring you optimal results with every procedure.

Teenagers

While cosmetic surgery is not common amongst teenagers, there are good reasons for considering surgery at this age. Rhinoplasty is the most common teen surgery. It is performed after the nose reaches its full adult size. For girls, this is usually at 14 or 15, and 17 for boys. Male breast reduction is another popular choice for teenagers, as well as otoplasty to correct prominent ears for both boys and girls. 

The 20s

Far and away, breast augmentation is the most popular cosmetic procedure among women in their twenties. Nose reshaping – rhinoplasty is another surgery that is popular for women in their twenties.

The 30s

While Botox and fillers are popular among all age groups, the thirties are a big year for Botox. This is a time during which you begin to notice lines and wrinkles are developing. Though the signs are generally minor at this age, early treatment goes a long way in slowing down the visible aging process.

Many women in their thirties who are finished having children will opt for a Mommy Makeover. Breast augmentation, tummy tuck, liposuction and breast lift surgery are all very popular in this age group.

The 40s and 50s

This is a time when you begin to see the real signs of aging. Blepharoplasty, or an eye lift, is very popular among men and women in this age group. Dr. McLain removes excess skin, fat and muscle from the eyelid area, and it can be very rejuvenating.

BOTOX and soft-tissue fillers are also a hot choice in this age group to help slow the signs of aging.  Some patients will need surgical correction starting at this age… including facelifts and forehead lifts.

55+

By far, the most popular procedure after one reaches 55, and thereafter, is the facelift. The forehead lift is a close second. These procedures tighten sagging skin and muscle for a much more youthful appearance. BOTOX and fillers may also be used in conjunction with these procedures to give you that younger look.

Whatever your age, when you feel like it is time to make changes that will leave you looking and feeling younger, contact Dr. McLain’s office to schedule your consultation appointment.

Xeomin Injections

Xeomin is a botulinum toxin type A compound, which is approved for treating wrinkles, frown lines, and the vertical parallel lines between the brows. Xeomin and Botox work on the exact same mechanism of blocking signals from the nerves, which causes the muscles to relax. This helps in smoothing out wrinkles.

The primary difference between Xeomin and Botox is that Botox contains inactive accompanying proteins, where as Xeomin does not contain any additives. Xeomin contains a more purified or naked form of botulinum toxin without any accessory proteins.

Xeomin doesn’t require foreign accessory proteins for functioning. You can get the same results without injecting yourself with unnecessary proteins. Cosmetic surgeon Dr. Landon D. McLain provides Xeomin wrinkle reduction injections to patients in Huntsville, Madison, Florence, Decatur, Scottsboro, Cullman, Athens, Alabama, and surrounding communities.

Xeomin Benefits

  • Smoothens the appearance of lines and wrinkles between the eyebrows, in the forehead, around the eyes, and around the mouth
  • Blocks signals from the nerve to the muscles, which causes muscles to relax and prevents further wrinkling
  • Fast recovery time, short treatment time, and noticeable results
  • Less likely to cause allergies because of no added fillers

Xeomin is Naked Botox

Xeomin is commonly called naked Botox, because of the purity of the product. Botox contains associated proteins that results in desensitization of other proteins. This is similar to getting allergy shots that result in desensitization. This is one of the reasons why Botox stops working after a few years. Naked Xeomin doesn’t contain these proteins, which is why desensitization doesn’t occur with the product.

Xeomin Treatment Expectations

Xeomin is a fairly simple treatment. The actual process doesn’t take more than 10 minutes. Your treatment provider will numb the area. But, you may feel a slight pinch when the needle is injected. The number of injections will differ depending on the treated area size.

Aftercare

You would need to keep your hands away from your face for three hours after the injection. You should avoid lying down or performing any vigorous activity for 4 – 6 hours. This is to make sure the product remains where it is supposed to go and doesn’t track anywhere else.

You may need to wait for a full week to see complete results. Good and bad results can be seen 3 – 7 days following the treatment. Results usually last for about 3 months. Problems associated with the injection are usually because of the treatment provider and not the product.

Final Word

Xeomin doesn’t contain any additive proteins or the extra stuff. This is the perfect option for you if additives ring an alarm in your mind. Xeomin is an accessible wrinkle-reversing and wrinkle-prevention treatment that is significantly more affordable compared to various types of invasive treatments for facial rejuvenation.

Your first goal should be to choose a skilled and experienced treatment provider with a proven track record of performing different surgical and non-surgical aesthetic procedures. Cosmetic surgeon Dr. Landon D. McLain receives patients from Huntsville, Madison, Florence, Decatur, Scottsboro, Cullman, Athens, Alabama, and nearby areas for Xeomin injectables to treat facial signs of aging.
