Scary Facts
I tell you the more I research cosmetic surgery and procedures the more frightening it gets. Did you know that some people even travel to Mexico to have their procedures done because they are cheaper? Can you imagine getting surgery on a budget? I’d much rather use Murad Resurgence Products then cross the border for a low-cost face lift.

No Doctor Needed
Did you know that some cosmetic procedures don’t require a physician to perform them? Chemical peels are one of the best examples. In some states, they can be done by non-physicians. When you consider that these peels literally involve chemically burning off layers of your skin, leaving you vulnerable to serious infections and other complication, you’d think that wouldn’t be the case

Surgical Dangers
Ok, I’m not trying to scare anyone who is considered major cosmetic surgery but I came across a horrifying statistic. According to the American Society of Anesthesiologists, 1 out of every 1,000 surgical patients is not fully “out” during the procedure. Can you imagine being awake during your facelift or your liposuction? Scary!!!!!!

My Sister’s Reaction
My sister called me this morning and told me that she received the products in the mail. She loved them and was really happy I thought of sending them to her. She’s going to start using them and let me know what she thinks in a couple of weeks. I’m so relieved that she was glad and that she decided not to have cosmetic surgery.

Update on My Sister
I talked to my sister yesterday. She hasn’t received the package I sent her yet. I hope she likes the products as much as I did. I’d feel much better about her aspirations to looking younger if I knew she wasn’t having a dangerous cosmetic procedure done. And I’m sure her checking account or credit card balance will be happy, too. Those procedures cost a fortune!

Dealing with Botox
Since my sister has decided to get these Botox injections, I decided it would be a good idea for me to study up on them a little bit more. For example, did you know that the cost per session is around $400 and has to be repeated every four months? Did you know that many of the doctors who are doing it don’t know that much about the anatomy of the face and are causing serious side effects, such as patients who can’t make facial expressions anymore?

My Sister’s Face Lift
Good news and bad news on this subject – First, my sister did reconsider about the face lift but not because of me. Her plastic surgeon gave her a higher estimate than she had anticipated. So, unfortunately, she has decided to invest in a few Botox treatments to tighten things up. While it is safer than going under the knife, I’m no advocate of jellyfish poison being used for beauty.

Risks of Face Lifts
If the procedure wasn’t bad enough, here are some of the risks: muscle damage, scarring, crust forming on the incision site, healing problems, infections, hematomas that require additional surgery, and anesthesia reactions. I’m going to send her some products from Resurgence to see if that changes her mind any. I certainly hope so.

The Face Life Procedure
After talking to my sister, I started reading up on face lifts and was horrified! They aren’t lying with that name! The doctor literally cuts your skin at the hairline so he or she can get to the fat and muscles underneath. I can’t even imagine what that would be like! And it can be done with just a local anesthetic. That means you could be awake while that’s going on! I think I’m going to have nightmares.

Dealing with Aging Skin
Aging skin is not necessarily part of aging gracefully. I certainly have done everything in my power to fight against it. One of my sisters who live in California wrote me yesterday and said she’s getting ready for a face lift. Apparently, she’s been saving up for the last couple of years.
