Abstract :Abstract: Aim: To investigate the effect of advancing age on postoperative outcomes in plastic surgery, focusing on patients aged 60 years and above. Methods: A retrospective analysis of clinic data from January 1, 2020, to October 1, 2023, was conducted. Data included patient demographics, preoperative comorbidities, surgical details, and 30-day postoperative complications. Logistic regression models were employed to evaluate the association between age and complication rates, adjusting for confounders like comorbidities and surgery types. Results: The study found a significant association between increasing age and higher complication rates within 30 days post-surgery. It also revealed that older surgeons tend to have lower complication rates. Additionally, factors like smoking, obesity, and gender were identified as influential in postoperative complications. Conclusions: Advancing age is independently associated with an increased risk of postoperative complications in plastic surgery. The study highlights the need for a comprehensive approach to evaluate postoperative outcomes, considering various patient and surgeon factors.Keywords : Plastik Cerrahi, Postoperatif Sonuçlar, Yaş, Komplikasyon Oranları, Hasta Bakımı
