In the past, surgical treatments like facelifts were the standard of anti-aging treatment. However, surgery is time-consuming, expensive, painful, and always carries risks for even simple procedures. If you opt for surgery, you’ll need to arrange extensive time off of work for your recovery – not to mention being unable to go out in public for a while! Surgery is often painful, and there are health risks associated with infection and general anesthesia. And let’s not forget the cost of surgical procedures and future touch-ups!

By contrast, non-surgical anti-aging methods are almost always the preferable mode of treatment. It’s pretty easy to see the difference:

• Recovery time – whereas surgical procedures may need weeks to heal and give you the result you’re expecting, treatments like Botox injections and Juvederm can be performed during an office visit and give immediate results. You won’t have to lie in bed for days recovering from surgery, either!
• Pain – With surgery there is always some amount of pain. Non-surgical treatments, by contrast, are very comfortable and only take a few minutes to complete.
• Cost – For many people, the cost of surgery meant they could do little or nothing to improve the appearance and self esteem. Now that we have developed these wonderful non-surgical methods, anti-aging treatments can be a realistic possibility for most people.
• Confidentiality – In the old days, if you had a surgical cosmetic procedure, everyone found out about it due to your long recovery time and altered appearance in the days following the surgery. With today’s quick and simple anti-aging treatments, no one ever has to know you had a “tune-up”.
