Skin Deep: The Benefits to Having Cosmetic Surgery

Cosmetic surgery has become an accepted way of life in today's youth-oriented society. Cosmetic procedures have become much more affordable for the average person considering having some work done. This surgery is no longer just for movie stars, nor is it simply a quick fix to change your looks. Numerous benefits can be found in having cosmetic surgery.

Skin Deep The Benefits to Having Cosmetic Surgery
Many professional women and men just beginning to show some signs of aging choose cosmetic surgery as a means to regain a fresh, younger look to be able to remain competitive in the business arena. A simple eyelid lift or tightening of the jowl area can work wonders in the appearance.

Self-Esteem Through Cosmetic Surgery - Self-esteem will get a big boost when cosmetic surgery fixes a few of those little flaws you may be unhappy or self-conscious about; liposuction to remove some lumps and bumps, breast augmentation or reduction for a more balanced look, breast reconstruction after removal surgery, rhinoplasty to make the nose better aligned to the face. Most patients are well-pleased with their results as long as they weren't expecting a total transformation. Keep in mind that being happy with yourself doesn't come under a surgeon's scalpel.

Healthy Benefits of Cosmetic Surgery - Not only for self-esteem issues, but many of these same procedures have health benefits. Breasts that are too large for the frame can cause severe back and neck pain over time, deviated septums in the nose can create breathing problems. Scar tissue in certain areas may cause freedom-of-movement issues that cosmetic surgery can usually repair. Drooping eyelids are often to blame for some vision problems. Health and well-being can be restored with several different cosmetic procedures.

Improving Veins Through Cosmetic Surgery - Spider veins and varicose veins are often painful conditions found in both men and women. According to Texas Vein & Cosmetic Specialists, spider veins are usually located in the lower extremities and they can affect a patient’s ability to walk or stand for long periods. There is a cosmetic procedure available that can be of great help in reducing the appearance and pain of this condition.

Cosmetic Surgeries For Children - Cosmetic surgery is usually not recommended for children or adolescents except in a few cases where it would be of benefit to the child’s well-being; cleft lip or palate, or repair of damage from an accident or injury. A good surgeon will be happy to examine the child and determine what is best and when surgery should be performed.

As with any medical profession, cosmetic surgeons can do general procedures or specialize in particular areas and procedures. Do some research and choose the surgeon who will be right for the work you wish to have done. Ask for recommendations, check out a before and after portfolio of the work he/she has done, and most importantly you need to communicate what your expectations are of what the surgery will do for you.

Aloevera, the wonder herb

Of all the herbs available in the kitchen garden, aloe is perhaps the richest in healing properties and has been rightly named the “first-aid” plant. It has moisturizing and emollient properties and is used in cosmetic creams, sun-lotions, shaving creams and face packs. It can easily be cultivated as a house-plant in a sunny warm spot with good drainage. Cosmetologists mix aloe with several other herbs and draft fancy names for it. Then these “herbal” avatars are sold at exorbitant prices. Growing a plant and using fresh gel is much more effective than bottled gel, simply because it is alive and therefore is more potent. It is the only plant whose extract is applied directly from plant to face in its natural and purest form.

I Tried a Headache Balm and Ended Up with Rashes

I do have this habit of slathering pain balms whenever I have a headache. But never did I get a skin reaction or rashes from it. It so happened that I had an extremely severe headache a few months ago.  The pain was so unbearable that I gingerly reached out for a pain balm kept on my bedside table and kept on slathering it repeatedly all over the temples of my forehead. Next morning, after I woke up, I found that the skin on my forehead was peeling off and worse there were red rashes!  This was the first time in my life that I was getting rashes from applying a pain balm on my forehead !  I have never had any pain balm allergy or as such!  Side-effects due to application of a pain balm  was something I've never come across all these years! I usually use pain balms of reputed companies – my usual favourites are Tiger balm, Amrutanjan, Zandu balm and Sloan’s balm.  This time I had used Tiger balm. But why did it  give me rashes now, when I had used it...
