Raise an Eyebrow to New Wrinkle-Reducing Cosmetic Surgery Procedures

Since the dawn of the Botox revolution, patients looking for a youthful glow have realized that they can acquire it without making the face look made of plastic, or worse—like their eyebrows are painted-on. Why go under the knife when your wrinkles can be smoothed out in mere minutes with non-surgical wrinkle-reducing cosmetic surgery? Injected fillers and muscle relaxers are only becoming more popular, dipping into the pool of clients who otherwise would have opted for a facelift or eye lift; in 2007, 3 million Americans chose Botox while a mere 100,000 people had a facelift. Price and convenience figure into the equation, as a thorough facelift costs upwards of $5,000-(if the cosmetic surgeon can get it right the first time!) Also in 2007, the amount of clients using injected collagen fillers like Restylane and Juvederm, 1.5 million soared over the 250,000 individuals who underwent eyelid lifts. Facelifts in 2008 enjoyed a slight bump, growing 14% from the previous year, perhaps because clients realized that Botox could successfully enhance the traditional wrinkle-reducing cosmetic surgery facelift. Still, the amount of clients seeking traditional facelift wrinkle-reducing cosmetic surgery paled in comparison to the ever popular Botox and fillers: even the relatively less popular laser skin facelifts (which clocked in at 600,000 procedures in 2007) got more business.

Fillers and Botox—The Process

As Botox has been on the market since 2003, our popular culture has become attuned to spotting an over-botoxed wax figure-like forehead. But did you know that Botox also prevents facial sweating, a discovery that’s led many doctors to injecting Botox into the surface of client’s chronically smelly feet? Botox can also complicate wiring for a person who has a neurological ailment; it blocks a neurotransmitter called acetylcholine, without which the face cannot clench. A Botox junkie, of course, is obviated by their inability to make facial expressions—at which point, their non-traditional wrinkle-reducing cosmetic surgery procedure is almost as obvious as a bad, unmovable facelift. Wrinkle-reducing cosmetic surgery Botox is usually priced per area, using 25 “units” or so each. So, for crow’s feet on both sides of one’s face, Botox can cost about $500. Wrinkle-reducing cosmetic surgery Botox is also commonly touted as a casual, inexpensive procedure at ladies’ night “Botox parties”, which usually give a couple of units to guests as neurotransmitter blocking party favors.

One of the catches about wrinkle-reducing cosmetic surgery Botox is that it requires touch-ups every four to six months. Weighing this price against a $5,000 wrinkle-reducing cosmetic surgery facelift may be misgiving, because that’s only a one-time ordeal. The benefits of Botox may overweigh added-up costs; with the Botox wrinkle-reducing cosmetic surgery procedure, a client is far less likely to get a botch job or make any drastic, disfiguring changes. Only if the client becomes a Botox junkie are they at risk of this.

Injectable fillers like Juvederm and Restylane don’t block any neurotransmitter, but simply rest on the surface of the skin. They vary in their density, depending on how deep and dramatic they want a wrinkle filled. Juvederm only lasts nine months or so, then is absorbed into the body. A client can opt to have a follow-up treatment after their first injection, which prolongs the benefits, or simply wait until the effective period is over.

Double-Teaming Your Face With Different Wrinkle-Reducing Cosmetic Surgery Procedures--Many individuals have seen great success compounding Botox with laser skin facelifts—first they receive Botox injections, which smooth out deep injections. Then the laser skin facelift, also known as laser skin resurfacing, reveals new layers of youthful skin. Laser skin rejuvenation/laser skin tightening, which stimulates the production of collagen, can also be used to compound the effectiveness of Botox. Because the laser skin facelift can make the Botox plunge to deep, uncovered layers of the dermis, some of the side effects of the wrinkle-reducing cosmetic surgery laser facelift can intensify the side effects of Botox—like the inability to produce facial sweat, for instance.

Why Do Dermatologists Love Non-Invasive Wrinkle-Reducing Cosmetic Surgery So Much?

The dermatological community has many more fans of skin-enhancing non-surgical, non-ablative procedures like Botox, collagen fillers, and chemical peels, because they know that they do much more to improve skin’s overall elasticity. The traditional wrinkle-reducing cosmetic surgery facelift, by contrast, removes excess skin, so the tightened skin can still be taut yet saggy, or become saggy over time. A common stale date for a wrinkle-reducing cosmetic surgery face lift is ten years. Can you afford tens of subsequent fine tuning appointments each decade, each several grand? If not, you may want to reconsider whether your wrinkle-reducing cosmetic surgery facelift is worth the initial investment—with its need for subsequent repairs, it’s more like a down payment!

Consider the challenge of tucking away loose ends with wrinkle-reducing cosmetic surgery facelift. Cosmetic surgeons are forced to grapple with various nooks and crannies of excess skin, especially on the eyelids (blepharoplasty) and forehead; a common default result of facelift wrinkle-reducing cosmetic surgery procedures are levitating eyebrows that make clients look demonic or resemble the cat-woman, Jocelyn Wildenstein. You don’t want to become synonymous with botched wrinkle-reducing cosmetic surgery disasters…make the right decision with your face! All the people who have to look at it each day will thank you!
