The way we meet new people has drastically changed in a relatively short amount of time. More and more people of all ages, including baby boomers, are turning to online dating to meet potential love interests.

But with such a heavy focus on pictures, getting back into the dating scene can be daunting. That’s one of the reasons why plastic surgeons speculate that more men and women over 55 are opting for cosmetic treatments.

Facial plastic surgery for people aged 55 and older has exploded in the past 5 years. With a divorce rate that’s nearly doubled in the last two decades and a surge of boomers back on the dating scene, the numbers make sense.
