Looking Older is now a Matter of Choice

By Alistair Nole


These days, it's more accepted that certain signs of aging are best treated in consultation with a cosmetic surgeon, such as wrinkles or a loss of elasticity in the skin. Proper treatment can provide the right course of action to get the results you want in targeting excessive skin or a loss of collagen in certain parts of the face. In the past ten years, there has been dramatic growth in the number of treatment options available, and they are becoming even more popular. What is it that motivates people today to have treatments done?

Certainly, self esteem is at the heart of many people's decision to seek treatments. A confidence boost and less self-consciousness are what some look for. For example, one may think they have a large or conspicuous nose. Whether it is or not, if a person believes it to be true, this belief can create the reality and cause discomfort and anxiety. For some who work very hard through diet, exercise, makeup, clothes, etc, to look their best, a problem or flaw that they can improve upon, or an area that they would like to make just a bit better can be quite important. When this is linked to sexuality, the level of importance goes up a few notches.

A person's sense of improvement in quality of life or work can actually be the end result of a change. Wearing the type of clothes or bathing suits you want to wear can be included in this. Or you would like to feel good about the body that you have because you like going to the beach. Perhaps you deal with the public a lot or have a very public job. These factors all contribute to the decision.

Vanity, which can be closely connected with self esteem, is one of the top motivators. It's only natural to want to regain a lost positive attribute. For example, my lips used to be full but now... , I always had a nice figure but now.... When you lose an attribute on which you had positive reinforcement over the years, it's like losing your identity.

It's completely normal to want to slow down, reverse or turn back those effects of aging that start to show up, or have been creeping up for some time. Moreover, wanting to alter or improve a feature that you have always disliked is equally natural. This can develop with age -- when you were younger, you thought about it a lot and after much reflection, realize it absolutely is something you want to improve.

Health reasons are definitely a motivator. Any mother can get depressed by the various unpleasant postpartum changes to the body. It could also be necessary to relieve physical factors or symptoms, as well as the real tangible benefit that comes with correcting post-weight loss body changes. For example,chronic recurrent headaches, neck strain, lower back pain, shoulder notching, numbing or tingling in the hands due to nerve stretch could all be relieved by a breast reduction -- these are all associated with excessively large, heavy, dense breasts (mammary hypertrophy). Almost all of these problems are 100% remedied by a breast reduction procedure.

Dramatic changes in life are another motivating factor. Sometimes people feel like their divorce shows on their face, or that their work or other substantial stresses of life have aged them. There are clear, safe and affordable options available for anyone looking to make those changes or small corrections, whatever the reasons.
