As you are going about your chores you catch a glimpse of yourself in the mirror. It surprises you what you see so you turn for a closer look. What do you see? Who is the person looking back at you with the crow's feet eyes, the wrinkled brow and the weary looking skin? It looks like an old woman, but it's your own reflection and you aren't old. What happened, how can this be you?
Where has the time gone and what happened to your lovely rosy complexion? You exhale through lips that used to be supple and lush now cracked and withered. You're not twenty anymore and it shows. Your spirit is still young, is there as way of getting back the appearance that goes along with it? Fortunately there is.
Today there are a number of different types of cosmetic surgeries that can be used to bring your youthful appearance back, however some treatments can be on the costly side and others aren't even safe. One method that is safe as well as affordable is Cosmetic Laser Surgery.
As with any other form of medical treatments you should always consult your chosen surgeon concerning any issues or questions before arranging any cosmetic laser surgery. He or she will be able to summarize the pros and cons of surgery as well as assist you in deciding if this is actually the right choice for you.
Cosmetic laser surgery is a preferred method of surgical facelift by most people because there is less bleeding than other surgeries. Even though lasers have mostly been used for resurfacing, puffy bags under eyes, droopy eyelids, saggy cheeks and double chins have all been corrected on a number of occasions with cosmetic laser surgery.
Laser resurfacing is a non-invasive form of cosmetic surgery that does not require a hospital stay and can be preformed in a short amount of time. Basically the laser treats damaged areas on the skin by vaporizing superficial layers. This can help to soften wrinkles and lines, lessen the look of scars, smooth out skin pigmentation differences, remove pre-cancerous and benign growths and remove spider veins.
Risks associated with cosmetic laser surgery are considered negligible, however do keep in mind that no matter what type of surgical treatment you are seeking there is some form of risks involved. Some people may scar, some may lose pigmentation in their skin. Side effects that are serious are rare, however complications such as temporary and at times long lasting injury can occur to nerves that control facial muscles. There could also be complications of infection or even an adverse reaction to anesthesia. Most cosmetic laser surgery procedures have a recovery time of 10 days to three weeks.
Now wink at that girl in the mirror and tell her goodbye. Thank her for always being there for you but let her know that you will be upgrading her for a prettier, more youthful version thanks to cosmetic laser surgery.
