A Facelift Can Help Careers

A facelift can be just the ticket to jump starting a stalled career. As a person ages, due to their genetic programming and/or lifestyle, their faces and bodies begin to show the wear and tear. Our culture is a youth dominated one and there are times when an elder is simply not taken seriously due to their age. It may be a wise decision for one’s employment path to remove some decades via a scalpel.

Some people show their age with wrinkles, others with sagging jowls, and still others with puffy eyes that make them appear curmudgeonly and tired. A look at other family members through the generations will let a person know if it’s simply their gene pool at work or if their lifestyle choices have contributed to their haggardly appearance. Some unfortunate lifestyle choices that make a person appear old before their years include unprotected sun worshipping, cigarette smoking, heavy drinking or drug use and excessive stress. Sometimes it is possible to create a younger look with non-surgical intervention. Quitting smoking, managing stress through meditation or yoga, wearing heavy duty, high SPF broad spectrum sunscreen and curtailing the partying with recreational drugs and alcohol may definitely create a more peaceful and healthy appearance. It may, however, not be enough or too little too late. For those with a withered face that has placed their career on the slow track, a nip and tuck may be in order.

Although older employees have a lot of experience and wisdom under their belts, they may be viewed with suspicion by their younger co-workers. Even without opening one’s mouth, a middle-ager or elder may be looked down upon as “has been,” “washed up,” or “archaic.” If they look tired already, they may not be given any sweet assignments for which they’ve been pre-judged to have no energy for. By erasing the years with a facelift, the older worker may suddenly find themselves taken seriously again. They may be listened to, gain respect and even manage a promotion. The money spent on the elective procedure may be well worth it by an increase in their paycheck.

A facelift is a cosmetic surgery procedure performed by a board certified plastic surgeon in order to lift up a sagging face. This operation targets the lower seventy-five percent of the face, which includes the jowls, cheeks and neckline. If a person shows their age in their eyelids or brow area, they may opt to have a brow lift instead or even simultaneously. Excessive wrinkling may need to be addressed in a different or additional manner as well. Botox is one method to relax wrinkles off of one’s facial surface. Resurfacing techniques such as dermabrasion, microdermabrasion, and chemical peels are alternate wrinkle removing techniques which entail removing the upper layer of dermis in order to present a smoother new surface upon healing. Facial liposuction is another way to have a less invasive method for removing the jowl and cheek pudginess which contribute to the haggard look.

If an older worker is being passed up on the job due to their saggy appearance, they may want to visit a plastic surgeon’s office to check into receiving a facelift.
