FACIAL REJUVENATION WITHOUT PLASTIC SURGERY

I told you I would tell you how.

I have found you can exercise anything - your body, your eyes, your mind, your teeth/jaw.

I had stabismus as a child - in those days they did not cut the muscles and try to correct them. I was given simple exercises following my finger out beyond my nose and back again - it completely corrected.

At one point I had TMJ. I had numerous dental filings, drillings and splints. In the end - exercise cured it.

I remember a long time ago I was always told - don't pull on your face or it will stay like that. Don't frown or you will get deep furrows.

Now I have always been gentle with the area around my eyes - it is delicate tissue there and I have taken good care of my skin.

At an early age I considered that in the future it would be necessary to have a face lift. Each decade I delayed it. I now am heading for 61 and was able to improve my body to aim for competition in figure. Why could I not do the same for my face?

An esthetic physician told me it was essential I have Botox preventatively to avoid wrinkles. Even though I understand it is an inactive toxin I declined for several reasons. It is not natural to the body and it is a paralizing agent and is not without risk. And most of all, I dislike the unnatural expressionless face. I think facial expression makes the person.

A while back I came across a facial exercise program. I used it and had results but instead of doing the maintenace part I put it aside and eventually forgot about it. Then I came across it recently in a very timely way. I had been reading numerous articles about the benefits of facial exercise. While reorganizing my office I found my program. Of course! The face has muscles just like the body. I sure needed to resume the program.

I happened to contact the author and found the program was now available through the Internet. I did not buy the creams and facial products because I have my own repertoire of products I am happy with so I cannot give you feed back on those but the exercise program is a keeper. I might try the lip product. I will keep you posted if I do.

Before you undergo the risks of plastic surgery, check it out - Facial Magic Exercise Program!

It can be done in minutes a day increasing to 10 minutes when you have incorporated the whole plan as designed. Do it 6 days/week for 9 weeks, then continue the maintenance three times per weeek. You can easily incorporate it into your daily beauty routine.


Don't forget though that whole body exercise, excellent nutrition, sun protection, cleansing and moisturizing contribute to healthy skin.

DOCTORS' SHOW ONE RIGHT ONE WRONG

I watched 10 minutes of the Doctors show today.

Right
They had a 5 year old on who was 80 lb overweight along with his very obese parents. They (the parents) agreed to accept help for their problem (the kid did not look enthused). And what did they get right? They offered to help by providing a health and fitness trainer. Good move - doctor's recognizing that there are specialists who are not doctors who are much more qualified and suited to helping with obesity.

Wrong
The plastic surgeon did an extreme makeover reveal. Oh goodness he irritates me.

First. They showed the surgery on TV - it started with them wheeling the client into the OR and he appears in his OR garb saying "Show Time!"

Then during the reveal he referred to the client as his best work. HELLO - THERE WAS A PERSON STANDING THERE.

And to add insult, granted she had felt ugly but he says how tough and challenging a job it was for him.

The result. An attractive middle aged woman who bore no resemblance to the "before"

She will have to introduce herself to people constantly. Why couldn't he have 'improved' and accentuated her good features instead of making her into an image of what he thinks she should be. How insulting.

I wonder if once the glow is gone she will have problems adjusting to the totally different image in the mirror as well as adjusting to having people ignore her because they don't recognize her.

PLASTIC SURGERY - TWO FOR THE PRICE OF ONE!

As I was doing my housework with the Tv on in the background, I had to look twice when I heard an ad for a plastic surgery centre which does tummy tucks, facelifts, rhinoplasty, breast implants, liposuction.

They were advertising that if you call now and book, they will give you two procedures for the price of one.

Ok now I know where the doctor shortage is. They have all gone in to plastic surgery to capitalize on people's wish to be perfect. And obviously business is competitive to have to offer a sale. Does that mean they are overcharging in the first place. Or does it mean, that they will take short cuts?

Now because these procedures are elective and private, they obviously do not have to adhere to any kind of ethical advertising.

The fact that people, mostly women feel they have to be perfect clones of someone famous and fix everything surgically as far as I am concerned is an illness which is being ignored. I have watched enough of the plastic surgery shows to know there are people addicted to these procedures. Instead of getting psychological help, they are offered bargains for grouping their procedures.

I have always admired the exotic appearance. The perfect body and face so common in model ads, to me are boring. The model who stands out is one that has a less than perfect feature.

When I was a red headed freckled girl with a ski jump nose, I was envious of Cher with her aristocratic nose and exotic looks. I thought she was one of the most beautiful women on earth. Now she has had extreme surgery including removal of ribs to get the narrow V shape. What on earth is attractive about her now?

I exercise hard and follow a clean diet to be the best I can be as me. I don't want to be anyone else. You can exercise anything including the eyes, and the face. I will cover that later in the blog.

When I was young, looking ahead, I was positive that I would eventually have a face lift. Now there is nothing that can be of less interest to me.

I do not criticize those who have significant visual flaws for having surgery in this society and intolerance to differences, but the expectation to be perfect is just sad.

Early in my nursing career I did a short stint on a plastic surgery floor. I saw some bizzare sights when I flicked my flashlight around on night rounds. Since then I have seen too many people with artificial results and often they no longer even closely resemble their former selves. I am over it. The outrageous advertising sure helps put it in perspective.

p.s. My brother-in-law wondered what two beautiful plasticized parents tell their offspring when the child asks "Mom, you and dad are so good looking, where did I get this nose?"

Maybe eventually they will genetically engineer the egg and sperm or select the egg and sperm of beautiful people?
