3 Not-So-Popular Signs of Aging You May Have Not Noticed

Saturday, November 30th, 2013

So you think you’ve escaped the dreaded signs of aging — from laugh lines to crow’s feet to unsightly forehead wrinkles.  Look at yourself in the mirror again! Here at our North Carolina plastic surgery practice, we often inform our patients to also look out for the following unexpected signs of aging that you may not have noticed!

1. Sagging breasts

Despite wearing support bras since puberty, there’s a huge chance that gravity will take its toll by the time you hit mid-life. Although breast implants are quite popular in increasing the shape and size of one’s breasts, you might also want to consider a breast lift.

2. Bat wings

Have you noticed how your arms seem to obviously wiggle when hailing a cab? The excess skin flapping around your biceps area are often referred to as bat wings or bingo wings and is one sure sign that your skin is not as tight during your younger years. We encourage an arm lift procedure to significantly improve the appearance of your arms.

3. Hands with sun spots and wrinkles

Your face may be free of the usual signs of aging but your hands may give your age away! The appearance of sun spots and wrinkles are one of the most common signs of aging in the hands. Skin care procedures such as photorejuvenation and chemical peels could make your hands look younger!
