When Vivian told me she was considering blepharoplasty, I didn’t know what she meant right off the bat. I googled!
According to google (the vault of all useful information….just kidding), blepharoplasty (BLEF-uh-roe-plas-tee) is a type of surgery that repairs droopy eyelids and may involve removing excess skin, muscle, and fat.
It’s not my go to option because the thing about plastic surgery is it hurts, leaves marks and bruises, and then you have to do it all over again a few years later. Plus it’s not cheap. AND IT MAY NOT WORK...that’s how people end up on the internet as one of those plastic surgery gone wrong blog posts.
So I told Vivian all about my anecdotal evidence and to explore other options first.
Instead, I gently (or not so gently) nudged her to join our free webinar on natural and TOTALLY non-invasive ways to lift your eyebrows and help with eye sags and bags and wrinkles and crinkles. Who needs knives and scalpels? Go natural!
We’re having another workshop on Thursday. It’s free—plus you won’t need to wander around in sunglasses for weeks after.
Plastic surgery is an anti-aging option—but why even think about it when there are alternatives? it’s invasive, costly, and doesn’t always help you look young, just ‘done’--
But the main thing is you damage the skin. Scar tissue is permanent. The result from the surgery isn’t.
Is vanity really worth the risk???
No way. At least, at Ageless Beauty we don’t think so.
It’s ok to be vain...and sometimes we look in the mirror and all we see are droopy eyelids and saggy bags staring back at us.
It’s OKAY to want to fix it.
How you want to fix it is the question here.
It’s like my favorite white shirt (Some of you know I love white shirts) -- somebody splashed Merlot all over it.
I tried all the usual but the stain didn’t disappear—there was no point sending it to the cleaners even—that sucker was there for good.
The stain is permanent.
Our skin and muscles are like that, too.
Once you cut them open, the scars are there to stay for the rest of your life.
You may look good right after the surgery, but that scar tissue will come back to haunt you. It will cause more tension in the long run and cause those droopy eyelids to return with a vengeance.
That’s why you’ll need to repeat the procedures again to maintain the appearance.
So if you’re looking for ways to feel good about yourself, start from LEAST INVASIVE OPTIONS and see how that helps.
And if you need another little step after doing your research and weighing all the pros and cons… who am I to judge?? But don’t pick the high risk option first and create more wear and tear!
