I Feel Bad About My Neck

<p>Not Really! This week I met a 60ish female who had recent face lasering. She did look good. I recently needed to visit a dermatologist for non-cosmetic reasons, and saw all the literature. I remember every Christmas party I attended last year, every woman was wearing eyeglasses. I
began wearing my contacts again. Suddenly, the bags under my eyes were much more noticeable.</p>

<p>So, here it is a year later and I am wondering what peoples’ experiences are with plastic surgery? How did you find your Dr.? How many did you interview? Are you having temporary treatments like botox or newer chemicals? Are you pleased with the results? How long will they last and will you repeat them? Would you go to LA or Florida for surgery, as I understand the best treatment is available there, or would you go to a foreign country like Brazil? Are you more concerned with facial or body alterations?</p>

<p>Have you been unhappy with results, experienced unexpected pain, have regrets, words of wisdom?</p>

<p>Has anyone found the non-invasive facials to be an improvement?</p>

<p>Are you more concerned with facial or body alterations?</p>

<p>I’m actually more concerned with financing my kids college education.</p>

<p>Silver Spring, my body is pretty well taken care of with exercise. I am also just gathering information and not running out tomorrow to go under the knife.</p>

<p>I hear you about the college tuition. I have only one more semester to pay, so I am starting to fantasize about other things. Trips, cars, plastic surgery…</p>

<p>After 5 years of paying for two, it is nice to have discretionary income!</p>

<p>I thought this thread was about the Nora Ephron book. It is great and cheaper than plastic surgery.</p>

<p>Seconding ebeeeeee! Read the wonderful Nora Ephron book instead. Much cheaper, and fewer complications - guaranteed. :)</p>

<p>Personally I hate my neck ferociously, and I like to think I could pass for younger if it weren’t for my neck. </p>

<p>(I’m sure that’s not true - I just like to think it!)</p>

<p>The title is a play on her book, and she recommends and does various things to maintain herself.</p>

<p>I’m wondering about other opinions and more recent treatments, as that book is a year old. </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>
