Wearing the Mask You Can Never Remove


Celebrities have it so easy, don't they? They walk into a restaurant and go to the head of the line. They are showered with gifts and perks wherever they go - limos, drivers who hold the car door open for them, baskets of fruit, flowers and candy when they check into a first-class hotel, free clothes from designers, goody bags that are worth thousands of dollars and the list goes on and on.
The one aspect of celebrity that may not be as appealing is the fact that celebs are usually very willing to undergo plastic surgery or endure a battery of injections that plump and paralyze their faces hoping to stave off the inevitable signs of an aging face. Sometimes these facial procedures are anything but pleasing enhancements as we have witnessed over blown lips, cheeks that make the face appear fat and distorted, beady looking eyes that are a result of too much filler around the cheeks, breasts way too dramatic and of course, who can forget the wind tunnel look?
Celebrities are constantly under the proverbial microscope. Their weight, their clothes, shoes, accessories and especially their faces are watched frequently by those bloggers who report on their every move. Perezhilton, Dlisted and Cocoperez are constantly eyeing celebs and their comments - some are complimentary, even nice, some not so nice.
Celebrity or not choosing to allow your face to be injected or cut takes a lot of nerve. There are no guarantees that you will love or even like the results you are given and if you don't like your new nose, breast enhancement, face, buttocks or whatever you've chosen to be enhanced, no one is likely to refund your money or schedule another procedure free of charge.
We've read that Heidi Montag now believes her breasts are too large and that they interfere with certain everyday responsibilities, tasks and even her workouts. We've read that Kathy Griffith and Jamie Lee Curtis are done experimenting with their faces - no more Botox or even liposuction. Joan Rivers and Jocelyn Wildestein have probably had the most face time - no pun intended - with the media dissecting the transformation their faces have endured through the years. The list of celebs, most who have many, many more dollars than the average gal, will not always love the results they're given.
Where does that leave you?
Doctors who practice plastic surgery are not magicians or even artists; they learn their craft via cadaver practice. Some docs have the knack of producing really good work; some specialize in noses or breasts so how do you choose? Even if you have seen face work that looks natural, it doesn't mean that it will be successfully repeated if you decide to opt for procedures that alter your appearance. Remember, some mistakes are permanent and there is no going back if you opt for sutures. Even injections may leave residual tell-tale signs of bunny lines and lopsidedness.
Surgery and injections are extremely expensive avenues; there are reports that tell us that many users of these modalities do not like the results they bought. Statistically, one in four former plastic surgery patients really like their results; in fact, Cosmetic Surgery Bible releases these statistics: Just 37% of respondents said they were happy with their results, with 37% saying they were dissatisfied and 26% stating they had mixed emotions.
Well, if surgery and injections are so iffy, what can be reliable?
The safest and sanest alternative to facial plastic surgery, fillers and other injections is facial exercise. Yes, facial exercise can quickly and easily rehabilitate tired, sagging facial muscles that make you look older than your years.
Grab your mirror and take a look at what's going on with your face. Do you see hooded eyes, sagging cheeks, a droopy mouth, jowls, pouches and a double chin?
If your face is beginning to resemble your Mom's, beginning a facial exercise routine now will greatly improve your appearance. In just minutes a day you can take charge of the aging process when you learn this exercise routine. Reliably and deliberately, your face will begin to lift, tighten and take on a younger appearance.
Isometric contractions with anchoring techniques (resistance) are ideal for shaping and contouring those sagging facial muscles. Just like your legs, arms, tummy, hips and thighs enjoy a good workout with slimming results, your face will appreciate the good feeling it gets when you don your white exercise gloves, stand in front of your mirror and perform the movements that tone and lift your facial muscles.
You will be so pleased with yourself, your confidence level will soar and you will smile knowing that you can proudly wear your beautiful face that looks like it did five, ten even fifteen years ago.
