Alternatives to popular cosmetic procedures

It’s not a secret that everybody wants to look
beautiful. Our appearance
is our visiting-card. Accordingly people try to look good.  For
that
reason women and man use different means – thet rack themselves with
diet or exercising, wrinkle or fat relief methods and with many others
surgical and nonsurgical
cosmetic procedures. But what to do if you are not a good candidate for
laser hair removal, liposuction, rhinoplasty or any other surgery? This
article provides you the opportunity to find the alternative to popular
cosmetical procedures!

As you all know nowadays people more often choose
laser hair removal rather than shaving or waxing. The laser hair
removal procedures cost much; still people toughly undergo this
procedure. 4-5 sessions and you will not have any problems with
unwanted hair for a very long time. However, laser hair removal
cost much, thus professionals of cosmetic surgery field
offer other ways how you can rid off unwanted hair.

Shaving
It is very simple technique; this technique does not affect coarseness
and thickness of hair itself. It can be combined with cream or lotions
to produce smoother results; however, it is transient solution and
requires constant shaving to maintain a hair free appearance.

Waxing
This procedure can be used for large areas at one time. Results last a
month or longer, depend on strength of the hair, but it does not have
long-term effect on the hair follicle or growth of hair. Also waxing is
very painful procedure, especially in bikini line – the most sensitive
area of the body. Besides waxing can cause redness, may stimulate the
process of ingrown hair or allergic reaction.

Tweezing
Depilatory tweezers are very popular amongst those who wants to
eliminate unwanted hair for a longer time, but can not afford laser
hair removal procedures. The unwanted hair is eliminated one by one
when the depilatory tweezer is used. This procedure is painful too.
Hair follicles are not permanently disabled; the regrow will occur.
Besides the treatment is temporary!

Electrolysis
How the procedure is performed? – The needle is inserted into the
skin (it may be very painful) to damage the follicle. Sterile needles
should be used each time, because electrolysis treats only one hair at
a time. Telling the truth it is tedious and harassing procedure, which
requires a lot of time and can last several months or even years (it
depends on how hairy the treated area is) – it is impossible to remove
all unwanted hair within few weeks. Also there is a risk to inflame the
skin what leads to scarring.

Alternatives to liposuction 

Women always wanted to look perfectly – they
wanted to have beautiful face and good looking body. Women who had
problems with weight, made up their mind to undergo the liposuction
procedure, when the liposuction technique became available for society.
The majority of them were satisfied with results. Liposuction was so
popular that it achieved the distinction of being the most popular
cosmetic surgical procedure! However liposuction is a very serious
surgical procedure and may involve a painful recovery. Still many women
and even man decide to undergo the liposuction.

Sometimes people change their mind not to do the operation; sometimes
doctors refuse to perform the operation, claiming that patient is not a
good candidate for liposuction, because he/she has health problems. In
such case people try to find alternatives to liposuction.
The way to achieve weight loss is making by lifestyle changes. Healthy
eating and proper exercises in daily routine will help to shape the
body. Choose a diet that will allow losing weight safely and
effectively. It should be balanced both hormonally and calories,
including a variety of fresh, wholesome foods. For people who decided
not to undergo the fat soaking operation, there are four solutions: to
go on a diet; exercise; accept the body as it is; use clothing or
make-up to downplay or emphasize body or facial features. Also there
are such alternatives as abdominoplasty or reduction mammaplasty. The
last two alternatives are up for concrete areas of the body.

Abdominoplasty
Otherwise called “tummy tuck” is a cosmetic surgical procedure used for
reshaping the abdomen. The excess fat is removed from the middle and
lower abdomen in order to tighten the skin. Sometimes when the big part
of weight is missed out, the unnecessary skin stays; in such case the
abdominoplasty is the only way to remove it.

Reduction mammaplasty or breast reduction
Women with large breasts may have health problems caused by the
excessive weight from back. Bra straps may leave marks on the
shoulders. Reduction mammaplasty is designed for such women. It helps
to decrease the pain in the back area. Large breasts mean heavy
breasts. Heaviness causes the pain in the back and neck area. There
were cases when women have problems with breathing or skin (heavy
breast entrain the skin).
Generally last two cases are not alternatives it is more likely an exception.

The most reasonable alternatives to liposuction are exercising and going on a diet.
Initially, people should try to slim down by using “natural
liposuction”. There a lot of sport clubs, that offers variety of sport
programs, different sport activities in swimming pool. Instead of
losing weight by eating nothing they can book a visit to dietician who
will prescribe the proper diet for them. If the results won’t be
satisfactory after all they have done they may choose to undergo
liposuction.

People become spoiled. They pay money for cosmetic surgical procedures
instead of trying to reach positive results by themselves. It is
understandable when people undergo laser eye operation or rhinoplasty,
or laser hair removal, or breast correction, but overweight can be
fixed by natural means, liposuction is not the only solution to improve
body lines!

help! It could be reached by wearing the Brava system 10 hours a day
for 10 weeks. Women can grow their breasts by one cup or sometimes even
more. This natural enhancement is the clinically proven method to

more feminized bodies but are against the breast augmentation surgery,
and a variety of women who want to enlarge their breasts for one cup
size. BRAVA system alike a bra with two plastic domes that are
connected to a suction device, that’s why most patients quickly get
used to sleeping in it – because for women it is natural to wear a bra.

Laser eye surgery become more and more popular,
because it gives a possibility to put away glasses or contact lenses.
However, there are people who don’t want to choose such alternatives.
They rather prefer to use another ways to improve their seeing.
Sooner or later comes the time, when people feel that their seeing is
not as perfect as before. What to do? – Laser eye surgery isn’t the
only mean to improve seeing. The majority of people choose to wear
glasses or contact lenses. It is affordable and convenient. It depends
on a person. Some people prefer glasses some not. Others say that
contact lenses are a better choice. Beside if there are some doubts
which way to choose the best solution would be to contact with oculist
and discuss other alternatives? Usually such possibilities are offered:
lensectomy with intraocular lens implant – the natural lens is removed
and is replaced with an intraocular lens implant; phakic IOL
(intraocular lens) or ICL (intraocular contact lens) – insertion of an
artificial lens without removing the crystalline lens; intracorneal
rings – intracorneal rings are plastic inserts placed in the cornea.
The rings flatten the central cornea in purpose to correct the
nearsightedness (myopia). Intracorneal rings can be removed. If
intracorneal rings are removed the cornea returns to its preoperative
shape and nearsighted come backs; radial keratotomy – radial keratotomy
is a surgical procedure. Its’ purpose is to remove or reduce ametropia
(eyes with vision defects such as myopia, hyperopic or astigmatism are
unable properly focus on light rays into a clear image. If ametropia
occurs it requires corrective lenses or eye surgery). With a help of RK
the central corneal curvature is reduced; myopic or hyperopic
keratomileusis or automated lamellar keratoplasty is used to correct
nearsightedness and farsightedness – microkeratome is used to remove a
thin slice of the cornea from the eye to reshape it for corrected
vision; astigmatic keratotomy is a modification of radial keratotomy is
used to correct astigmatism; myopic or hyperopic epikeratophakia –
during this procedure the refractive error of the lens is modified by
the transplantation of a donor cornea to the anterior surface of the
patient’s cornea. All these procedures are related technically, the
main difference is that every procedure is specialized on a different
vision correction (myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism).

It depends upon how much help the eyelids require
to look better. One of the alternatives is to get enough sleep and
fresh air. The cutting down on smoking and drinking also can help. The
light-reflective make up is available too. These means are the
simplest. Use creams, gels and beauty treatments, other skin
preparations to improve the appearance to tighten the skin around the
eyes and to reduce dark rings, however, there is no scientific proof
that they work on a permanent basis. Means of beauty should be used
regularly otherwise initial appearance will come back. If there is a
problem with a heavy brow that contributes to drooping upper eyelid
skin the eyelid surgery can be performed, but if patient doesn’t want
to the alternative of procedure would be brow lift that also can fix
the problem. If there is an absence of excess fat in the lower eyelids,
a simple resurfacing procedure may be very useful. If patient have a
need to rid off lines the treatment with botox will perfectly fit! As
fine lines begin to occur, particularly those that form around the
mouth and eyes laser resurfacing can help minimize them!
