If you can get over this slump by making yourself beautiful again, you can to focus your energy on other productive areas like family and career. You might say that there’s always makeup to cover up your flaws, but covering up is not enough when you have to face the truth again when you take the glam off.

This is the best time in your life to go for the ultimate makeover. Cosmetic plastic surgery is a safe procedure that anyone can afford. It’s not invasive, and there are many doctors who have the training to give you the best quality service possible.

Cosmetic procedures are meant to reconstruct your face. You’re not getting a new one; you’re just removing the years from your face to reveal the youth hidden behind the folds and wrinkles. Cosmetic surgery is done after thorough consideration of your health condition. Your plastic surgeon will inform you at once if you cannot go for a particular procedure because of a complication in your health condition.

Of all cosmetic procedures, you might want to try collagen injection first. Many women and men go for this treatment to enhance their lips and remove the facial wrinkles. Collagen injections are done at certain intervals to improve the muscle tone on your face. Think of it as a cure-all for wrinkles, scars, and different marks on your face caused by folding skin or wrinkles. With your skin plumper and the lines are smoothened, you can continue to wear makeup with confidence, knowing that you look great even without makeup on.

Collagen is a component that can be found in the human body. It’s a protein that stays between the skin and the underlying tissues. Collagen helps to build fascia, the network of fibers that gives skin its bounce, volume and softness. As we age, we lose a lot of this in our skin tissues, making the skin sag and wrinkly. Collagen replenishment can add volume to face giving it smooth appearance. The different types of collage used include bovine collagen and human collagen (such as Zyderm and Zyplast).

Collagen treatment is not entirely free from risks. It can sometimes lead to bruising, redness and puffiness. At worst, the collagen injected into your face travels to other parts of your body. Accidents like this can be avoided by consulting your doctor before, during and after the operation.

You know how some celebrities never seem to look older even with minimum makeup? This is their secret. With collagen injections, no one will think you’re getting older. Ironically, staying beautiful in your old age is the exact definition of the phrase ‘aging gracefully’.
