How did the Pharmacist know I wasn't a 50-or-above gentlemen who had plastic surgery to look younger? Can older gentlemen who have had plastic surgery to look younger, be told apart from genuinely younger gentleman?

He told me "I can tell, from over here, that you are NOT the age for the Shingles vaccine."

I asked, "Well then, what IS the age for the Shingles vaccine?"

Pharmacist told me "50 and above!"

The convo happened in 2023. I tried to get an appointment made for my first Shingles shot in 2035 as a result of that convo, but AFAICR, they can't schedule out that far.

Could I have been an older 50+ gentlemen mistaken for a younger gentlemen due to getting plastic surgery to look younger?

In other words, can an older gentlemen look to be in his 30s again due to this surgery? Or will he look like "an older guy who has had plastic surgery?"

My Boomer therapist told me "If you have plastic surgery at 70, you'll not look 30 again, you'll look like "A 70-Year-Old Who Had Plastic Surgery."

Is he just being pessimistic? Will plastic surgery methods advance to where they'll make me look convincingly younger in 2035? In 2055?

What can you tell me about the science of plastic surgery in the next 10 and 30 years?
