...they take you to their dermatologist to get a cosmetic procedure and end up almost breaking your hands by squeezing them because of the pain. Haha
( Read more... )
I am glad to hear that you know where to draw the line with procedures like this. I am often shocked at how bad people look when they have taken it too far.
I hope that things go well for you next week. *HUGS* Have a great day. :)
p.s. - I really am going to update my journal soon. ;)
I'm all for cosmetic procedures as long as a person understands it isn't a miracle cure and they're not, as I said LOL, trying to look 20 when they're 60 or worse, end up like Michael Jackson or Priscilla Presley.
Research good doctors and you should have plenty there in Florida, which is LOL the cosmetic capital of the states. The filler they would use for the undereye circles and lip corners is a 'stiffer' one called Radiesse. In fact I considered getting that done as well the day at the doctor's office. Radiesse at my derm in Reno costs 850.00 and over at the other doctor ( His name is Dr.Nguyen) is half that, as everything else is.
Radiesse is made from encapsulated calcium particles, which makes it last longer ( over a year, and sometimes depending on the person, 18 months) so it's worth it to me. It will bruise though, so be sure you have a few days downtime :)
It's all fine-tuning. It's kind of like a car, really LOL, Phillip. I don't want a complete tune-up, just small maintenance things done here and there so I won't NEED a huge tune-up.
Really, in most ways, aging is due to genetics , and other factors like sun and smoking or too much alcohol and drugs. For me the sun was my greatest vice. But even so, I'm no raisin. My parents are 80 and they look good for their age, and I suspect I will too at that age.
Little things done frequently adds up more than drastic things done once in a life time... Well, at least that's my philosophy :) that'll work from cleaning up (I like to do some tidying up everyday to avoid awful mess, while some of my ex-roommates thought a monthly cleaning up day would work as well - rigth, until you have that spontanious guest) or taking care of oneself daily, even with little things like washing your face and moisturising (instead of just some monthly spa-day, or eventually that full face lift, after negletting yourself for decades... gee).
I really enjoy your reviews on beaty industry, as most of the news are either "OMG, isn't s/he hideous for getting plastic surgery in the 80s!" or, "omg! isn't s/he pretty (after their pics have gone through photoshop...?)
There's people out there who know what they are doing, but also a lot of qwacks trying to make bucks...
In fact I just read a terrible story about some people who had permanent ( they were lucky they didn't die!) disfigurement and a lifetime of pain from a so-called 'doctor' ( who was not a doctor..which is why PEOPLE NEED TO DO THEIR RESEARCH) where he was injecting women with rubber and even car oil in place of the safe, medical-use purpose fillers.
I always read magazines :) about the latest and the best new technologies and procedures that are coming out.
one of the latest on the news here was someone using some sort of concrete as filling.. Obviously, they didn't tell that to their clients. My real disgust is the so called "doctors", who are willing to cut kids, like someone wanting breast implants for their sweet sixteen, while they might have gotten their dream figure naturally after their puberty was over..
Read another article about this same person...and they actually injected THEMSELVES with this shit, talk about stupid! I think it's fitting karma though. They used caulking ( the shit that you use to set tiles and tiling or seal bathroom cracks), also cement, glue, and silicone from old discarded breast implants. NASTY!!
That's nothing compared to the breast implants. Seriously? You know I'll never have kids, but since I did not go under general anesthesia ( because of the meds I was taking)...getting shot six times in each breast with a huge, 18 guage needle...the subsequent feeling of the cutting, the implants being placed under my chest muscle, and the resulting pain ( and at the time I took NO pain killers...back then apparently Vicodins weren't abused as much, and so they gave me 120 of them and I used none of them) was enough to say..." I THINK childbirth might be this painful LOL"
