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. Treatment options have grown dramatically in the past ten years and their popularity continues to explode. 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. Some seek improved confidence, and decreased self-consciousness. For example, one may think they have a large or conspicuous nose. Whether true or not, if one believes this to be true, the perception can create the reality and cause discomfort and anxiety. Some people work very hard at diet, exercise, makeup, clothes and so on, to look their best, so it can be quite important to address a problem or flaw that they can improve upon, or an area that they would like to make just a bit better. The level of importance goes up a few notches when this is linked to sexuality.

A change can actually bring about an increase in a person's sense of improvement in quality of life or work. 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. The decision is affected by all these considerations.

Vanity is one of the top motivators and it can be closely connected with self esteem. It's only natural to want to regain a lost positive attribute. For example, my lips were always full but now... , my figure was always nice but now.... Having good positive reinforcement over the years and losing that attribute can be like losing one's self-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. In addition, it's equally normal to want to improve or change a feature that you never liked. 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.

Another motivator is health reasons. Any mother can get depressed by the various unpleasant postpartum changes to the body. A real, tangible benefit is correcting post-weight loss body changes. Relief of physical factors or symptoms could be needed too. For example, a breast reduction could alleviate chronic recurrent headaches, neck strain, lower back pain, shoulder notching, numbing or tingling in the hands due to nerve stretch-- all of these are associated with mammary hypertrophy--or excessively large, heavy, dense breasts. A breast reduction procedure completely remedies almost all of these problems.

Another big motivator can be dramatic life changes. People may feel like they are wearing their divorce on their face or that their job, or some other significant life stress has aged them. For anyone looking to make those changes or small corrections, whatever the reasons, there are clear, safe and affordable options available.
