[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Doctors are doing lots of elective surgeries (think knee replacements, hip replacements) etc. on the 85+ crowd now. [/quote] There’s a risk/benefit analysis to be done with any elective surgery. The same doctor might perform knee replacement surgery on one 85 year old and decline to perform it on another, due to the difference in risk factors. The only benefit to a face lift is a boost to one’s mental health, but if the risk of complications from the procedure that are, themselves, deleterious to mental health is greater than the odds of no such complications, then there’s likely to be no net benefit.[/quote]
