Fifteen
years ago, cosmetic surgery was reserved for celebrities and/or the very
wealthy. Mostly women, these patients had plenty of money and lots of
free time to recover. In those days, there were no options other than
procedures involving lengthy hospital stay which were followed by seclusion
and elaborate cover-up stories, cosmetic surgery was viewed as vain, at
the least, and shameful at the worst!
But these are exciting times in the world of cosmetic dermatology. Now there is a far wider choice of easily accomplished treatments that dont require lengthy recuperation. Theres no need for that cover up story: Many of these treatments are so done so quickly sometimes over a lunch hour that no one will notice. Theres no more social stigma either. Indeed, its estimated that about 2.7 million procedures to erase facial wrinkles, like peels and dermabrasions are performed annually, as are about 300,000 liposuctions annually. So its possible some of your friends have undergone such treatments with no one but themselves the wiser. The only tip-off may be that they look rested, more youthful, and more fit or shapely, depending on what theyve had done.
In Turn Back the Clock Without Losing Time, we introduce you to the wide array of procedures that can give you a more youthful and vital appearance without the risks of general anesthesia, invasive surgery, or the lengthy downtime that are hallmarks of the past. These treatments range from chemical peels and BOTOX®, which take only minutes, to minilifts and liposuction which can be done on an outpatient basis, without or under local anesthesia, often without the patient ever stepping into a hospital.
All of the techniques discussed in this will have you back on your feet from virtually immediately to up to four days tops - depending on what procedure you chose.
But undergoing cosmetic treatments and procedures is not the only way to look your best. For that reason, weve divided our book into three parts.
