Plastic surgery has come a long way in the last twenty years; for many members of society, it's become a normal part of a later-life beauty routine. If you're thinking of getting something touched up, you should consider one of these three unexpected ways that plastic surgery can improve your appearance.
Reducing Spider Veins
Spider veins appear as people get older and start to put more stress on their bodies. Luckily, even when a vein seems swollen beyond repair, a good plastic surgeon can still do a lot to help. Treating a spider vein usually looks like filling it with saline to reduce the swelling or using laser therapy to remove a vein that simply cannot be repaired. Most plastic surgeons end up recommending that you combine both types of therapy to get the appearance you're looking for.
Smoothing Out Wrinkles
Botox is a popular facial rejuvenation treatment that has stood the test of time. Botox injections contain a mild toxin that temporarily paralyzes the muscles in your face. Because the muscles are paralyzed, the patient is unable to conduct the movements that usually result in wrinkles. The immediate result is that old wrinkles appear smooth and may even relax completely while the treatment continues. In the meantime, new wrinkles are unable to form, reducing the long-term impacts of aging. Facial Botox is incredibly effective and lasts about three months before you even need to consider another treatment. A good plastic surgeon will also have options to keep improving your face after the Botox does its job.
Correcting a Broken Nose
Small breaks in your nose can have more impact on your personal identity than you realize. If your nose is misaligned, bumpy, or otherwise out of shape, your plastic surgeon might be able to help you completely revolutionize your appearance. Nose surgeries tend to be simpler and less expensive than people are expecting, and the results can be incredibly dramatic. Only your plastic surgeon will be able to give you reasonable expectations for how much a surgery is going to help you achieve the nose that you're looking for.
Plastic surgery might not be the solution for everything, but it can solve more problems than you think. Talk to your surgeon to discuss the ways that they can improve your confidence by helping you get the face that you want to see in the mirror.
