Here's some little thoughts you can take or leave.
I think it would be as you said, that you age normally until adulthood and then the aging process slows down, but also that you could choose to look older or younger because you would have more control over your body. I also think that the aging process would be different, not so much the sort of withering away that we see today but more of a gain in dignity and presence not accompanied by as much of a loss in vitality.
In the book 2150AD they touch on the topic of reproductive cycles of humans in societies with longer lifespans and in it the women no longer menstruate except when they have expressly decided to have a child, which is somewhat rare since the society in that novel strives to keep the population low.
