How Facelift Surgery Can Boost Confidence in Orange County, California, Professionals

It’s a story that’s as old as time — the younger upstarts steal the thunder from their older counterparts. Once upon a time, you were likely that upstart at the beginning of your career, but now you’re decades in, and you feel a shift in how people treat you as an older person.

It may be of some comfort to realize that you’re not alone — research reveals that 64% of employees in the 50-plus age bracket report age discrimination at their workplace.

Whatever your experiences, if you feel like your professional life is taking a hit because of aging, Dr. Zelken and our team here at Jonathan Zelken, MD, in Orange County, can help. Our practice excels in the facelift arena, and we’re thrilled to help people better align their aging exterior with their youthful spirit and interior vitality.

Common reasons people opt for a facelift

There are many reasons nearly 80,000 people get a facelift each year in the United States. For example, many patients enter the dating scene at an older age and want to put their best face forward.

While social reasons certainly drive many facelift procedures, professional reasons are common, too. Ageism is all too real, and people often report feeling invisible in their 40s, 50s, and 60s. The same study we referenced above found that 14% of job-seekers are passed over because of their age.

Even though age discrimination is largely illegal, there’s no getting past the reality that it exists, and companies often overlook older employees in favor of younger ones despite their lack of experience.

Whether you’ve run into ageism at the workplace or the discomfort about your aging is in your head, dialing back the outward signs of aging through a facelift can certainly boost your confidence.

From our end, we feel that facelifts are a choice that any consenting adult can make at any age and for whatever reason, as Dr. Zelken reviews in this short video.

Revving up your professional life with a facelift

It’s affirming and satisfying to walk into a boardroom or hit a Zoom call brimming with confidence that keeps all eyes and ears trained on what you have to contribute. If you’re feeling less of this these days because of aging, a facelift can help. 

When you come in for a consultation, Dr. Zelken takes the time to review your goals with you. Once he has a good idea of what you want to accomplish through your facelift, he outlines his suggestions. 

No two facelifts are alike, and Dr. Zelken takes great pride in customizing each one. For example, if you have sunken cheeks, he can add implants to your facelift. Or, if you have deep lines between your eyebrows and around your mouth, he injects fat into these areas.

Our point is that Dr. Zelken’s facelifts go far beyond simply pulling your skin taut. He aims to deliver natural-looking results that make people guess your age and err on the young side. 

As a professional, you want others to focus on your great ideas and experience rather than how many turns around the sun you’ve taken. A facelift can remove age from the equation entirely and keep the focus where it belongs.
