Surgical Alternatives For Skin Tightening

By Lelia Hall


As we age, have children, gain and lose weight, it begins to show on the outside. Loss of firmness and plumpness due to a loss of healthy fat can cause a sagging at the jaw line. There are many methods available, some surgical and some not, so that even those in Cincinnati, OH have options for skin tightening.

When one peruses the Internet for solutions, they do come across many statements made by plastic surgeons. It is their stand that the only method of firming up the epidermis is a nip and tuck procedure. While these individuals will swear that it is not a dangerous procedure, but let us not forget that in the 1980s they also swore that silicone implants did not make women sick.

They have earned their poor reputations, and women know that these individuals will put their own profits over their health. In fact, there have been many charlatans who claimed to have expertise in this field, but their surgeries were botched and resulted in injury and death. Whenever considering surgery, it should be the final solution, and great care should be taken in choosing the surgeon to perform any procedure.

A method which has become wildly popular is dermabrasion, and many people swear by it. This involves a roller with small needles which are run across the face or body. This fools the body into thinking there has been an injury, and it releases elastin, a connective tissue which helps the epidermis retake the prior shape, and collagen which is a protein abundant in the body which plumps and smooths skin, and these aide in healing.

These two proteins are primary players when it comes to revealing a healthy and youthful complexion. By forcing the release of collagen and elastin, one can maintain this look for a long time to come, without surgery. Most people find they only need to use their roller about once a week for best results.

Utilizing the proper moisturizer is very important with dermabrasion, as it opens the epidermis to better absorption. Shea butter is recommended due to the way it absorbs easily and is not greasy. Taking the liquid from Vitamin E and spreading it on the desired areas is another recommended method of moisturizing and protecting the face and body.

Peels are often used for bringing out the healthy lower layers, and getting rid of lines and sagging. This can be an excellent method, but one must be cautious. This technique is known for leaving brown spots behind which are known to take quite a long time to heal, and these areas must be kept out of the sun.

No method of rejuvenation is complete without the added benefit of a healthy, or at least balanced lifestyle. Exercise and diet alone can go a long way towards keeping the face and body firm and fit. By ridding the body of cellulite, at the same time one treats the outer layer for lines, sagging, or stretch marks; a total makeover can be experienced without the use of a scalpel.
