It’s a fact that age can do things to the face that are undesired and unflattering. The primary issue comes from skin loosening and sagging due to gravity, loss of collagens and fat in the face, and the wear and tear from facial expressions. All of these are normal and expected, but not everyone wants to let their age show on their face. Many non-surgical and minimally invasive cosmetic repairs are available on the market, but they don’t last long, and may not go far enough for some. This is the point where the decision to undergo cosmetic surgery in Torrance comes in.

The Argument Against Undergoing Cosmetic Surgery

Cosmetic surgery is an elective choice for all patients.  Because of this, the patients need to be mentally and financially prepared to undergo any sort of elective cosmetic surgery.  If the patient does feel ‘ready’ then it is best to wait for a time when they do feel comfortable with their decision and motivated to achieve the best results.  Additionally, although many cosmetic surgeries can be done without anesthesia, there are several that require anesthesia.  Overall, anesthesia is very safe.  But, there are always some risks with any sort of procedure or anesthesia.  Recovery depends on the type of procedure performed – as some may have a more difficult recovery than others.  Recovery can take time as the body just underwent a voluntary insult in the form of having skin removed and the remainder stretched tight. Skin and muscle have to form a new bond, and this comes with swelling, pain, and bruising.

All of these issues can be enough to dissuade someone from cosmetic surgery.  But they may be worthwhile, especially if the problems aren’t easily corrected through less-invasive means.

The Argument for Going Through With Cosmetic Surgery

As previously mentioned, there are products on the market that allow for non-invasive cosmetic changes. Injectable fillers plump out hollow cheeks, fill out lips, and paralytics smooth out creases in muscles for a smooth appearance. All of these products are wonderful and have revolutionized the ways in which people achieve a youthful appearance. But they only go so far. What they can’t do is remove excess skin that returns to sagging once the treatment wears off.

Cosmetic surgery in Torrance, while it is more involved, is permanent. It undoes the damage of time in one procedure, and patients only go through recovery once. Once everything has healed, the results will be amazing.  It’s worth looking into undergoing surgical procedures in order to get results that won’t fade or disappear with time.
