The Science of Aging: What You Can Control—and What You Can Improve
By Drs. Deborah Ekstrom and Juris Bunkis
Orange County Plastic Surgery, Corona del Mar/Newport Beach

QUIZ OF THE DAY:
When we talk about facial aging, which of the following plays the largest role in determining how you age?

A. How expressive your face is
B. Your skincare products alone
C. Your genetics combined with lifestyle choices
D. How early you start cosmetic treatments
E. The number of birthdays you celebrate

Correct answer: C. Aging is shaped by both heredity and lifestyle—and understanding this helps us choose the right solutions.

We think of aging as a two-prong process.

Prong One: Things That You Can Control

The good news is that a significant portion of how we age is influenced by daily choices. Sun exposure is the single biggest external factor in skin aging. Ultraviolet light breaks down collagen and elastin, leading to wrinkles, pigmentation, and loss of skin quality. Consistent sun protection—hats, sunscreen, and smart exposure—pays enormous dividends over time.

Weight fluctuations also matter. Repeated weight gain and loss stretches facial skin and can accelerate sagging. Maintaining a stable, healthy weight helps preserve facial structure.

Nutrition is equally important. Skin is our body’s largest organ, and poor nutrition shows itself quickly—dullness, thinning, delayed healing, and loss of elasticity. Adequate protein, healthy fats, vitamins, and hydration are essential for skin health and recovery from any procedure.

Other controllable factors include smoking (which dramatically accelerates aging), sleep quality, stress management, and adherence to a thoughtful skincare routine. Medical-grade skincare, neuromodulators like Botox, and energy-based treatments can further slow visible aging when used appropriately.

Prong Two: Things You Cannot Control - What Is Inherited

The second prong of aging is entirely genetic. This includes how and where tissues sag, whether eye bags develop, the strength of your jawline or chin, neck anatomy, and how your face loses volume over time. No amount of sunscreen can change these structural tendencies—but modern facial rejuvenation can.

This is where surgery and fat grafting shine. Facelift surgery repositions descended tissues, restoring a natural, refreshed contour rather than a “pulled” look. Microfat grafting—one of Dr. Ekstrom’s specialties—restores lost volume using your own fat, improving facial shape and skin quality simultaneously. Because fat contains stem cells, it can also enhance skin texture and vitality.

The most natural, long-lasting rejuvenation comes from addressing both prongs: protecting and optimizing what you can control, while thoughtfully correcting what genetics has handed you. A customized plan—based on anatomy, goals, and timing—is the key to aging well and confidently.

Holiday Timing for Facial Rejuvenation: Why December Books Up Early
By Drs. Deborah Ekstrom & Juris Bunkis
Orange County Plastic Surgery, Corona del Mar/Newport Beach

QUIZ OF THE DAY:
When is the most popular time of year for patients to schedule facial rejuvenation surgery?
A. Early Spring
B. Mid-Summer
C. Around the Winter Holidays
D. During Tax Season
E. At the Start of the School Year

If you guessed C. Around the Winter Holidays, you’re absolutely right.

For any of you trying to get on our surgical schedule for the remainder of this year, you already know: we are fully booked until January. In fact, this month alone we are hosting four separate patients from Massachusetts who are flying out specifically for their facial procedures. Every one of those December surgeries, however, was scheduled months in advance—and that’s because late fall and winter are consistently among the busiest times of the year in aesthetic surgery.

Why does the holiday season fill our calendars so quickly? A few reasons stand out.

First, the built-in downtime. Students, teachers, and many professionals enjoy extended breaks during the holidays, making it far easier to schedule a procedure and recover discreetly without taking additional time away from school or work. Many patients appreciate the ability to rest, heal, and return in January looking refreshed without generating questions about their absence.

Second, we often see an upswing in patients whose procedures qualify for insurance coverage, such as certain nasal or breast surgeries. By December, many have already met their annual deductibles and understandably want to take advantage of that before the year resets. This creates additional demand for operative time.

Winter is also the ideal season for healing from facial rejuvenation. The shorter days, lower UV intensity, and cooler weather reduce sun exposure and swelling—key benefits for facelift, eyelid, and skin-resurfacing patients. With less outdoor activity and fewer social commitments than other times of year, December becomes a natural window for recovery.

And finally, there’s a simple psychological factor: the New Year inspires self-improvement. Patients often tell us, “This is the year I’m finally doing something for myself.”

The moral of the story? If you’re hoping to take advantage of the longer breaks around Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter, or even the 4th of July, be sure to plan ahead. Our schedules tend to fill several months in advance around Holidays, especially for facelift and other facial rejuvenation procedures.

We’re here to help you achieve your aesthetic goals—beautifully, safely, and on a timeline that works best for you.

What is the Right Age for Facial Rejuvenation - By Drs. Deborah Ekstrom & Juris Bunkis
Orange County Plastic Surgery, Corona del Mar/Newport Beach

QUIZ OF THE DAY:
What is the “right age” for facial rejuvenation?
A. Exactly 40
B. Exactly 50
C. Only after 65
D. Any age where health, desire, and readiness align
E. There is a strict upper age limit
Correct answer: D

During a recent TV interview, we were asked a simple but important question: “What is the right time for facial rejuvenation?” Our answer: there is no universal age—only the right time for you.
As we age, most of us encounter a moment when the reflection staring back from the mirror doesn’t match how vibrant, energetic, and youthful we feel inside. That disconnect is often the first sign that someone is ready to consider facial rejuvenation.
The desire for improvement is essential. No one should undergo a cosmetic procedure for someone else’s expectations—only their own. A patient must also be in good general health and able to obtain appropriate medical clearance for any surgical procedure. And, of course, facial rejuvenation is an investment in yourself, so the financial aspect must be thoughtfully considered.
Aside from these factors, there is truly no “right age.” We have helped patients in their 30s and 40s dealing with early facial laxity, baggy eyelids, or skin quality issues. At the same time, we have performed first-time facial rejuvenation procedures for patients in their 80s and 90s, in excellent health, who wanted their appearance to better reflect the vitality they still felt.
One of our favorite stories illustrates this beautifully. A few years ago, Dr. Bunkis performed a first facelift on a 94-year-old gentleman. A few days later, an 86-year-old woman came in for her own facelift. Shortly thereafter, the two of them happened to be sitting in our reception area at the same time. They struck up a conversation, exchanged contact information—and soon began dating!
Whether it’s the right time for facial rejuvenation—or for romance—is entirely personal. If your appearance no longer reflects the person you are inside, it might be the perfect time to explore your options.
