Face Lift for Body and Mind

A lot of women would like to have a face lift. Unfortunately for the majority of people the expense, downtime, and recovery period is jut not practical in the face of their hectic, busy lives. This is a shame because the results of having this type of procedure really speak for themselves. Fortunately it is possible to have the surgery you want and still live the life you must. It will require a bit of finessing but it is entirely possible to get the cosmetic desires you have always wanted while still maintaining the lifestyle necessary to pay for it. It simply requires a little planning and some budgeting of both time and money.

A face lift involves placing an incision along the hairline, and occasionally around the ears or chin, and then literally lifting and tightening the skin to fit it tighter to the skull. This creates a generally smoother complexion along with a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles. What is really astounding is the fact that although the results are dramatic the downtime is fairly minimal. In fact usually there is only some soreness, bruising, and swelling. Fortunately these side effects rarely last more than the first five days or so. Soreness and perhaps minor discoloration definitely will last longer but the effects that require bed rest or simply are too apparent to allow regular behavior are generally gone within those first five days. With this in mind there is one great solution to solve this downtime problem.

You know that you want to look better. There is no doubt that having a face lift is the means to this end. You also know that you will be laid up for at least five days to recuperate from this procedure. It seems that the perfect solution is to schedule our surgery for the first day of a week long vacation and then spend the remainder recuperating. But, since it is a surgery to make you feel good and not one because you are ill you should plan a vacation that makes you feel good not ill. Granted you cannot fly for several weeks after surgery for safety sake because of the risk of blood clots or other complications at 30.000 feet, but that does not mean you cannot enjoy your recuperation.

It does not make sense to have a surgery meant to make you feel ten years younger and then spend your days recuperating sitting on your couch in sweats. The recommendation is to factor the cost of a several day spa visit into the cost of your surgery. Insurance does not cover cosmetic procedures and so you know it is going to have to come out of pocket. Well, why not tack on another fifteen hundred dollars that will be spent purely on enjoying your days of recuperation? Might as well enjoy your self while you heal.

There are even a number of cosmetic surgery clinics that have arrangements with spas that operate specifically for the purpose of catering to post-operative women. Why not begin you new life of looking younger by having a face lift with an experience of feeling younger like five days at the spa? Having face lift surgery is often a once in a lifetime experience that is why it is best to make is an experience that lasts a lifetime.
