Considering Plastic Surgery? Think Again!

Can we put a price on how much we, as American, love plastic surgery? Sure we can! And that price tag comes in at a cool $20 billion.

Yep, that’s how much the American plastic surgery sector is currently worth! And it’s set to rise even further from next year.

But here’s the thing. A recent report by a leading medical accident group reported that 65% of patients surveyed regretted their plastic surgery¹, Worse, 85% stated that they’d never go under the knife again. So what do you do if you want the results but feel skittish about the process?

Turning Back Time

If, like Cher, you’d like to turn back time, well, you can always find a way! There are a lot of options out there – from indulgent emollients to deep tissue massage, But sometimes we know that you want – and need – to reach the next level when it comes to results.

Maybe laughter lines have just become too thickset. It could be that age spots or wrinkles are causing you distress. And that’s when a brow lift, eye lift, or other little nips and tucks suddenly become an attractive choice!

But surgery comes with a hefty price tag and possible risks or regrets.

Still, a whopping 40 million of us were happy to take on those costs and risks in 2020, with a cool 5 million facelifts included in that statistic. 

All Pleasure, No Pain?

So here’s the question. If you’re thinking about plastic surgery, but you’re put off by the permanence of it (‘What if I don’t like it?’) do you, realistically, have any other options?

If you’re enthusiastic to try an eye lift, but you’ve seen the regret rate statistics (‘What if I don’t recognize myself?’), are face creams really your only option?

Let’s find out!

Awesome Alternatives

Happily, there are a range of non-surgical alternatives out there that we can direct you to!

The reality is, in this day and age, we no longer face the binary choice of facelift or generic store-bought moisturizer. There are so many options out there these days. And we think that, for consumers, that’s a great thing.

Here are a few of our favorites!

#1. Vampire Facelift™

A Vampire Facelift™ is a powerful medically innovative aesthetic treatment. It rejuvenates, firms & heals, enabling a fresher, fuller & firmer visage. Using platelet-rich plasma (PRP) taken from your own body, it’s completely natural and highly customized. Used in a range of medical fields already, the Vampire Facelift™ combines PRP with the benefits of hyaluronic fillers for real results.

#2. Juliet Laser

One of the fastest growing procedures in plastic surgery is a labiaplasty. A labiaplasty is a kind of vaginal reconstruction that restores firmness and sensitivity to the vaginal area (often a popular procedure after childbirth).

A far less invasive, yet effective alternative is the Juliet laser treatment. The Juliet laser can be performed in as little as 20 minutes, so can fit perfectly into a lunch hour. It relies on painless, non-invasive technology using safe and effective laser treatments to target the walls of the vagina. The heat of the lasers stimulates cells to build collagen and elastin to effectively restore firmness and sensitivity.

#3. Botox-Xeomin-Dysport injections

These FDA-regulated neuromodulators (often referred to as wrinkle relaxers) are small proteins that offer great results in creating a smoother, more youthful appearance. Capable of intercepting transmissions between our body’s nerve cells, they disable nerve endings temporarily, to prevent the appearance of frown lines & wrinkles.

This has the effect of giving our skin a smoother, firmer look. Injections are always tailored to the individual, meaning that it is a truly customizable treatment.

#4. Lifestyle Interventions

Often, a lack of exercise, smoking, drinking, poor lifestyle choices, a lack of sleep can make us look old and tired.

A great health professional can help you reverse that damage and improve leanness, fat loss, energy, skin, hair and nail quality. It might also be that severe, undiagnosed nutrient deficiencies are causing you to look and feel tired, old, aged, and wrinkled. Around 90% of the US population may be suffering from some kind of nutrient deficiency, so this might be what is troubling you.

Could it be time that you get your gut microbiome, nutrient balance or general health checked? It’s a worthwhile investment to make before taking the major step of surgery.

So Before You Go Under The Knife…

Going under the knife represents a major emotional and financial investment for you to make. Will you like the results? How much will you need to pay? How long will the recovery time be?

Before you make that leap, why not make a little investment of your time in researching the many beneficial non-surgical alternatives that now exist? and if you’d like some guidance, we’re always here to offer completely obligation-free advice.
