The other pathways are through otorhinolaryngology and ophthalmology to become a facial plastic or oculo-facial plastic surgeon. The time the doctors spend in training is the same but the focus of training is more targeted to the face in the pathways of facial and oculoplastic surgeons.

Many individuals younger or older seek those procedures for correction of an aesthetic blemish that some times affects not only their appearance but also their self esteem.
Prevention of the signs of aging such as rough, sun damaged and wrinkly skin, or volume loss due to aging is a great way of avoiding invasive procedures along with their risks and downtime.
In fact many of the newer minimally invasive procedures have been popular among younger individuals. Part of the reason is their lack of downtime and immediate gratification.
