In three to six months you can change your appearance so that you look younger without having to have a surgical reconstruction performed. You will not need any anesthesia before the procedure and after the procedure you will need nothing stronger than an over the counter pain reliever like Motrin.
A face-lift procedure may cost you as much as $15,000 dollars. You will need to pay the plastic surgeon, the hospital where you have the surgery and do your recovery, and the anesthesia specialists that puts you to sleep. You will have to change your activity schedule for several weeks following the surgical procedure. It will take several days following the procedure before the swelling and bruising recedes so that you can start to see what changes have been made to your face. Skin tightening procedures cost a lot less than a face-lift, and you will have very little discomfort, no time off of work, and the end results will be a natural tightening so that no one will ever have to know that you had any work done.
You cannot put a price on a self-improvement. When you look better you feel better, you have more confidence, and you have more fun. Then the your condition will be enjoyable.
