Look Happier and Younger with a Brow Lift

What does your forehead say about your mood and age? Do indentations between the eyebrows make you look angry or upset? Do horizontal lines etched into across the brow make you look years older than you feel? Sinking eyebrows and deep lines on the forehead can change not only how your forehead appears, but the overall look of your eyes and face. If your brow is impacting the expression you want to portray to the world, a brow lift may be a good option to look younger and happier.

Benefits of a Brow Lift

With a brow lift, usually small incisions are made in the hairline to access tissue and skin on the forehead. An elevation of the skin and tissue can smooth away lines and excess skin can be removed, changing the overall appearance. When completed by a talented plastic surgeon, a brow lift can have the following benefits:

  • Horizontal lines smooths
  • “11” between the eyebrows smoothed
  • Lifting and reshaping the arch of the eyebrows for an eye-opening effect
  • Tighter, firmer skin on the brow
  • Reduce frown lines that can make you look angry or tired

When the deep lines disappear, and the eyebrows regain a more youthful position, you can look years younger and the angry or upset expression can fade away. Browlifts are often combined with an upper eyelid lift to reveal more youthful, open eyes.

Don’t let your brow tell the world a different story than you feel. If you want to erase those deep lines and reshape the eyebrows, schedule a consultation with a plastic surgeon. A brow lift might be the answer to make you look more like your happier, younger self.

Is Facial Plastic Surgery Right for Me?

Making the decision to have facial plastic surgery is very personal and complex. While many people may have an aspect of their face they are unhappy with or may be disappointed with the affect of aging, plastic surgery is not a procedure to undergo on a whim. While there are many benefits, it is important to take the time to consider whether plastic surgery is the best option for you.

The first question to ask yourself is what you hope to achieve with plastic surgery. Someone who has a crooked nose or sagging skin may be unhappy with the way they look, but will changing the feature give them the satisfaction they desire? For many people, the answer is yes. They feel more confident and that alone is worth the surgery. If having facial plastic surgery will help you be happier with yourself, improving your personal and professional interactions by more confidence, it can be worth the effort.

However, some people hope that changing an aspect of their face will please someone else. While that may or may not be true, it is important to want plastic surgery for yourself, not just for someone else. You will be the one that will need to undergo the surgery and recovery, not someone else. Make sure it is what you desire, whether or not another person will enjoy the results.

Before deciding to have facial plastic surgery, talk about all the risks and options with your plastic surgeon. Your surgeon can help you find the best procedure to give you the look you desire – in some cases, there may be non-surgical options that you can try before undergoing a permanent change to your face. Take the time to consider all the benefits and risks; then make the choice that is right for you in the long run.

Are Breast Implants Right for You?

There is a stigma that many people attach to breast implants. The first thought may be of a voluptuous celebrity that quite obviously has had breast implants. However, breast implants are not just for models and actresses – everyday woman use this procedure to improve their appearance and self-confidence. This is a very personal decision that is not right for everyone, but many believe it is one of the best choices they ever made. Here are a few factors to consider that can help you decide if breast implants are right for you.

Why Do You Want Them?

This may sound like a basic question, but take time to consider it seriously. What do you hope to gain by getting breast implants? The answer should start with an “I”: I want to feel more confident in my body. I want to look younger. It should never be for someone else.

What Do You Hope to Achieve?

If you think breast implants will fix your dull sex life with your husband or attract more men, be careful to set such high expectations on one body part. Yes, breast implants can improve your figure and make more men notice you, but they are just one element of your body and do not change who you are.

What Type of Breasts Do I Want?

Is important to consider exactly the size and shape of breasts you want and how this will affect your life and health. A large change in breast size will be very noticeable – you must be ready for peoples’ reactions. Very large breasts can also come with a health price, often causing back problems. Makes sure to think through the possible outcomes and choose a size and shape you will be comfortable with.

If you decide breast implants are the right choice for you, make sure you find an experienced, reputable plastic surgeon to perform your procedure for the best results.

Why Visiting a Plastic Surgeon Can Change Your Life

If a change in your appearance can make you feel better about yourself, it can have an astounding effect your mood and outlook. Seeking the help of a plastic surgeon can change your life.

Plastic surgery is not just for vanity’s sake; it can make a deeper difference for many people. Many people have defects or injuries that make them self-conscious that can be fixed through plastic surgery. Birthmarks can be faded or removed; ear, nose or other facial deformities can be corrected. For those with congenital defects, plastic surgery can make them feel “normal” for the first time in their lives.

Even if the changes you want to make are for purely appearance’s sake, if it will help you feel more confident, it is worth the investment. Changing the shape of your nose, changing the size of your breasts or undergoing liposuction for body contouring can all have a positive impact on your confidence level. A plastic surgeon can help you determine what changes can be made for improvement and advise you against certain procedures if your expectations are realistic. Understanding what can be done and the limits to plastic surgery is important to feeling satisfied with your results.

You deserve to feel happy about what you see when you look in the mirror. If you have a problem area you would like changed, make an appointment with your local plastic surgeon to learn more about the options available.
