What To Consider Before Having A Chemical PeelWritten by Kelly Altodona
Not everybody is a candidate for a chemical peel, especially peels that have dramatic results. Peels are divided into two different categories: minor peels that are outpatient procedures and deep peels which require deep sedation and long, often painful recovery periods.The light chemical peels mainly include alphahydroxy acids. This family of chemical peels includes fruit acid peels (from citrus acids), glycolic acid peels (created from sugar cane), lactic acid peels (derived from sour milk or berries), malic acid peels (made from apples), and tartaric acid peels (made from grapes.) These peels can assist with skin that is mildly wrinkled, sun-damaged, scarred by acne or marred by blackheads. Be aware that spottiness', scarring and burning can be a consequence of even mildest of chemical peels. The heavier chemical peels contain greater concentrations of acids. You are essentially burning your old skin off so that new skin cells can replace it. Be aware that these types of peels require you to be completely sedated and have a recovery time of at least a month and in many cases up to three or four months. Be aware too that many people find recovery phase which can involved a bandaged face, pus, bleeding, scabbing and an unpleasant odor to be very difficult to handle emotionally. You must be mentally and emotionally stable to undergo a cosmetic procedure such as this. Many people experience a psychological low or depression after a deep chemical peel. This is why people who already suffer from depression, manic depression or chronically low self-esteem are not great candidates for a chemical peel. The emotional devastation that comes with looking in mirror and seeing a bloodied face as well isolation from other people can trigger an existing emotional condition or cognitive disorder and make it worse.
| | What To Consider Before Having A Face LiftWritten by Kelly Altodona
Are you ready to have a face lift? Nowadays, people as young as thirty years old are having procedure done although it is most commonly performed on females who are older than thirty-eight. The face lift, also known as a rhytiodoplasty, is particularly popular among both men and women in fields of art, entertainment and performance.First of all you need to consider that a face lift will not necessarily correct sagging tissues around eyes. If this is a problem then you need to ask for an eye lift as well. Sometimes an eyelift is also referred to as a mid- face lift. Before you choose procedure that is right for you make sure that you know all of your options by familiarizing yourself with all of different types of face lifts that are available. These include standard face lift, neck lift, S lift (which also pulls ears up and back), SOOF (which repositions under eye fat), deep plane lift (which removes grooves from nose to mouth), temporal lift (which raises eyebrows) and mid-face lift (also known as eye lift. Depending on your needs, your surgery may include a combination of above procedure to achieve effective, youthful looking results. All face lifts are performed under general anesthesia which is not recommended for elderly people as its side effects include forgetfulness. Anesthetic is also thought to be a potential trigger for long-term memory loss. Your plastic surgeon will also probably give you a list of medications that you will not be allowed to take for two weeks before surgery. These include medications such as aspirin, antidepressants or serotonin supplements. This is because these drugs can cause excessive breathing.
