Looking for a change? Did you know that cosmetic surgery continues to be one of the fastest growing medical procedures performed abroad these days? If you’re tired of what you see when you look in the mirror, perhaps it’s time for a change. After all, more of us are forced to compete with those 20 years younger (or more) for our jobs and livelihoods.

Cosmetic surgical procedures offer those of us approaching ‘young middle age’ (and older) a fighting chance to compete, and win over prospective employers. What is the most common plastic surgery or cosmetic procedure done for women? Check these out:

Breast augmentation or reduction

Facelift

Nose surgery (rhinoplasty)

Liposuction

Tummy tucks

Men are jumping aboard as well. The most common procedures for men include:

Hair transplantation

Eyelid surgical procedures (blepharoplasty)

Otoplasty (ear correction and shaping)

Rhinoplasty

Breast reduction (for treatment of gynecomastia)

Men and women entering their golden years are still at work, but increasing job competition is high around the globe. Increase confidence of others toward your health and “vigor”. Men and women can boost their chances of retaining (or being hired) for that job.

Popular international destinations for cosmetic surgery include Mexico, Panama (and other destinations throughout South America, including Brazil and Argentina), and Turkey.
