For those of us with plenty of money to throw at anything our heart desires, cosmetic surgery, liposuction, and a host of expensive and time consuming spa services are eagerly awaiting our decision to go for the fast solution to our aging sagging faces problem. If you don’t want to go the plastic surgery route, what else can you do?
We’ve all heard it takes as more muscles to frown than it does to smile, but when you look in the mirror and see a sagging lackluster face, it doesn’t seem like there are fewer muscles needed to smile. So, what can you do if you want your face to shape up? Plenty of so-called experts will advise this product or that product – but can putting something onto your face really make any difference?
Basically, setting aside the magic cream solution, there are only two primary ways to change your face. Drastic and direct manipulation of the skin, muscles, and fat through surgical procedures and the more natural methods of facial exercises and healthier living. While the former may appeal to those who aren’t interested in healthier living or to those who ample funds to throw around, you may be somewhere in the middle and not sure which direction to take.
Instant gratification, that’s something we are all taught (by advertisers) to want and to expect. Cosmetic surgery has the benefit of giving almost immediate results (once we heal, and remove the bandages – that is.) Unfortunately, there’s frequently a price to be paid for messing so drastically with whatever we were blessed with in our DNA. We’ve all seen the horrible images of surgeries-gone-bad that Paparazzi are only too thrilled to photograph of the unfortunate B and C list and occasional A list celebrity.
There is no doubt that many cosmetic surgeries have great results. Unfortunately – the best surgeons with the lowest mistake ratios are probably going to cost $10,000 or more for even the most minor procedures. The average person may have to settle for the more average doctor.
Alternatively, you could just decide to approach the problem from the inside out. With only a few minutes a day and with a tiny financial investment (just enough to learn your routines) you can rebuild your face, your jaw line, and even your droopy eyelids by becoming a face-fitness fanatic.
Facial exercises have been around for a long time. They have been in the form of yoga and people have been doing it since sleeping became an integral part of our life somewhere down the line of evolution. When you yawn, you stretch your face. When you laugh, you stretch your face. Every little thing you do, every little twitch changes the shape of your face. So how do you change it to look how you want it to look?
So, let’s say you want to look into the whole face-fitness trend, where can you go? There are really only a few major experts and players currently marketing books, videos, and even on-line training programs. You’ll want to probably take a look at all of their approaches to see which one fits your learning method and budget. But even the most expensive on-line training program will be a fraction of the cost of taking the surgery route. And once you learn the relatively simple techniques and routines, you won’t have to go to the gym to work-out, you’ll be able to get your face fit at home, while watching TV, while walking the dog…
If there’s anything that doesn’t make sense, it’s why people are still paying so much for surgery that has a high chance of failure, rather than investing less money and more time into something that has a virtually 100% chance of working well. Who do you think has won the facial reconstruction battle? I know which side I’m barracking for.
