Women have more help aging naturally

by Laura Elder

Victoria Homann is a firm believer in aging gracefully. She exercises, eats nutritious foods and makes regular visits to the League City practice of Dr. Elena Geppert, a plastic surgeon.

But Homann, 48, isn’t ready for anything as drastic as a full face-lift. She hopes to avoid that for some time.

So Homann, a grandmother who sells nutraceutical supplements for a living, visits Geppert’s Harbour Plastic Surgery, 3033 Marina Bay Drive, for minor procedures. Those include laser skin resurfacing and injectables such as Botox, and hyaluronic acid fillers that help plump her face and fill in lines. Homann said her favorite procedure is Sculptra Aesthetic, a polylactic acid approved last year for cosmetic use, to correct lines and folds. Sculptra is commonly referred to as the “liquid face-lift.”

The recession hasn’t stopped U.S. consumers from seeking professional help to turn back time. In 2008, doctors performed 12 million plastic surgery procedures. But the economy has changed the type of procedures in demand, observers say.
