Looking Older is now a Matter of Choice

By Alistair Nole


It's more accepted nowadays that a cosmetic surgeon should be involved in consultation for treatments that address certain signs of aging, such as wrinkles or a loss of elasticity in the skin. Excessive skin or a loss of collagen in certain parts of the face may require treatment that can provide the proper course of action in order to get the results that you want. In the past ten years, treatment options have grown dramatically and their popularity continues to explode. What is it that motivates people today to have treatments done?

One factor at the heart of many people's decision to seek treatments is their self esteem. A confidence boost and less self-consciousness are what some look for. For example, one may think they have a large or conspicuous nose. If one believes it to be, the perception can create the reality and cause discomfort and anxiety, whether true or not. For some who work very hard to look their best, whether it be through exercise, diet, clothes, makeup, et cetera, an area that they would like to make just a bit better or a problem or flaw that they can improve upon, 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. This can include things like wearing the bathing suits and clothes you want to wear. Or you would like to feel good about the body that you have because you like going to the beach. Maybe you have a very public job or deal with the public a lot. These factors all contribute to the decision.

Vanity, which can be closely connected with self esteem, is one of the top motivators. Wanting to regain a lost positive attribute is only natural. For example, my lips used to be full but now... , I always used to have a shapely figure but now.... Having good positive reinforcement over the years and losing that attribute can be like losing one's self-identity.

It's also very natural to want to slow down, reverse or turn back the effects of aging that are beginning to appear or have been creeping along for a while. Furthermore, it's equally natural to want to improve or alter a feature that you have always disliked. Your views may change as you mature -- you might decide that, after years of reflection on a feature, that it is definitely something you would like improved.

Another motivator is health reasons. The various unpleasant postpartum changes to the body can be depressing for any mom. And correcting post-weight loss body changes can be a real tangible benefit. Also, there could be a need to relieve physical factors or symptoms. 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). Most of these problems are totally fixed by a procedure to reduce breast size.

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