"I'm 65, so I'm not pretending I'm young, but I felt there were things about my face - the bags under my eyes, the skin under my chin, the wrinkles - that were making me look older than I actually felt. I'm very busy. I have a lot of energy. I work out, I'm into health, and I'm very active. What I was seeing in the mirror didn't match how I felt inside."
"I really wanted it for myself, but I also knew it would benefit my work - and it has. It's given me a lot of confidence in an industry filled with younger people. I've now had several procedures, including a near-full facelift, microneedling, laser treatments under my eyes, Botox, and what's called an eye snip. All up, I've spent well over $33,000. It's one of the best things I've ever done for myself."
"In New York real estate, image matters. There are brokers in their 80s who are still going strong, but there is a perception issue - especially when you're dealing with younger clients. I want them to feel confident that I know what I'm doing - that I understand."
Susan DiLeo, a 65-year-old real estate agent in Manhattan, underwent multiple cosmetic procedures including a near-full facelift, microneedling, laser treatments, Botox, and an eye snip to address visible signs of aging that contradicted her active lifestyle and high energy levels. Working in competitive Manhattan real estate for 14 years, she recognized that projecting the right image significantly impacts client relationships and career success. Despite being 65, she felt her facial appearance made her look older than she felt internally. The procedures, totaling over $33,000, boosted her confidence when working with younger clients, particularly those referred through Columbia University connections. She views the investment as one of the best decisions for herself professionally and personally.
