The Role of Age in Cosmetic Surgery Outcomes2025.11.02
When considering cosmetic surgery, age is one of the most important — and unavoidable — factors influencing results.
In procedures such as liposuction and breast augmentation (including hybrid augmentation), age can significantly affect recovery, healing, and overall satisfaction.
Why Younger Patients Tend to Recover Better
Patients in their early 20s generally experience:
- Lower risks of infection and pigmentation
- Better skin elasticity, leading to minimal sagging
- Faster recovery and shorter downtime
This is because younger skin maintains stronger regenerative capacity and responds more efficiently to surgical manipulation.
How Aging Affects Recovery
For patients in their 30s and beyond, changes in skin elasticity, blood circulation, and tissue quality may cause:
- Slightly slower healing
- Increased tendency for sagging or looseness
- Greater risk of scars or pigmentation after surgery
That’s why tailoring the procedure based on individual age and condition is crucial for achieving natural, long-lasting results.
AVAN TOKYO GINZA LIPOSUCTION CLINIC’s Approach
At AVAN TOKYO GINZA LIPOSUCTION CLINIC, we carefully assess each patient’s skin, tissue, and body type before planning treatment.
For those with mild skin laxity, we may combine radiofrequency (RF) treatments such as Morpheus8 Burst or Profound Matrix to enhance tightening and improve contour.
We also avoid overly aggressive suction, opting instead for precision-based liposculpting that prioritizes beauty and safety.
Real Example
One of our patients, a 20-year-old woman, underwent arm and thigh liposuction combined with hybrid breast augmentation.
Just three weeks post-surgery, she sent us stunning vacation photos from Bali — a testament to the faster recovery and high satisfaction that younger patients often experience.

Final Thoughts
As we age, our body’s response to surgery naturally changes. That’s why it’s essential to select the most suitable procedure for your current condition, rather than simply aiming for the most dramatic result.
At AVAN TOKYO GINZA LIPOSUCTION CLINIC, we focus on customized treatments that bring out each individual’s best balance of beauty, safety, and longevity.
