Center Cosmetic Surgery

Why do some high end cosmetics cost so much, yet do very little? IS plastic surgery the best way?

Lift Fusion, Prevage, Dr.Brandt, Dr.Perricone, some of these cost about $570 a bottle. That's insane, and all these cosmetics and makeup promise you so much, yet seem to fall short, or work just as well as anything you can buy in CVS or a much cheaper store. How could these people charge what they do, for products that don't really deliver? AND, if you really want to look your best, or take years off your face, would a plastic surgeon be the best bet to go? I'm only 26, yet I feel like I'm 40. I get called sir everywhere I go, people generally assume I'm in my 30s, I look older than I am, and I've already had a nose job and a chin implant, which I don't know, didn't really do all that much. I've used so many cosmetics, and it only wastes your money as they really don't deliver at all, most of them. At least as much as they promise. What plastic surgery procedures at my age, can make me look like a healthy normal 25 year old, and not like I'm 15 years older? I've always felt awkward because I looked so much older than I really was, and even at college people were surprised that i was still in college, and surprised that i was "only" in my early 20s. HELP!

1. Just love yourself, plastic surgery is fine if you need it, but if you are young and healthy be happy from that. Paying for surgery will add 15 years within itself
2. If you have drooping eyelids or saggy skin your best bet is good plastic surgery. If you look older for other reasons like extra weight or poor posture a personal trainer might be a better answer.
3. First of all...we would have to see what the root of the maturity comes from. Most older people tend to have skin that is less firm, more age spots, lack of radiance to their complexion, fine lines and wrinkles around the lips and eyes. Second of all...COSMETICS is very very topical. It's mainly used for skin protection and prevention. The reason why you may be paying so much is due to the advertisements the company runs, the research, the overhead...and etc. Third...It all about what you feel on the inside. Looking great has to do with what you do for yourself on the outside and what you do on the inside. E-mail me at my website...I would love to help a fellow guy feel better about his looks.
4. I could have written that post myself, the only difference is I'm female. But I can relate to everything you say. I've also had cosmetic surgery.......laser resurfacing, lower eyelid surgery, fat grafting, fillers to lips and cheeks, chemical peels and I'm still not happy. I should'nt be worrying about this stuff until I'm in my 40's yet I'm stuck dealing with it in my 20's. As for products, the best thing would probably be Retin A Cream which you can actually get from the doc. It's scientifically proven to stimulate collagen and elastin in the skin. Also using an exfoliating product such as lactic acid or glycolic acid works to keep the skin cells renewing. And sunblock is a must to protect your skin from damage. And the message board link below should be really helpful for more advice and information on skincare. Hope this helps : ) P.S. Don't tan or smoke, these cause mega damage to the skin.
