Facelift: Turning Back the Hands of Time

When your facelift is complete and the recovery time is over, you may look in the mirror and feel like the hands of time have been pushed back, giving you a whole new lease on life. In the coming months your body will continue to get better and your visage will look better and better. The swelling will decrease with the final results removing years from your actual age. But what else can you do to avoid looking older?

Catch Up With Fashion

You don't want to go into the closet of your teen and start pulling out clothes but you don't want to head for those elastic band polyester pants either. Treat yourself to a shopping trip where you specifically look for clothing that fits with your new facelift. Try things on, walk around in front of the mirror and look for pieces that add to how good you feel.

If you have a trusted friend or adviser, have him or her tag along and be the sounding board. Don't just browse; try everything on and get a feel for what makes you comfortable. This will enhance the new procedure and give you and overall confidence in the way you look.

Get a New Modern Haircut

If you haven't had a new look for your hair in a long time, having a facelift is the perfect reason to get it done. Go to a specialist and make an appointment. Talk to them about the work that you have had done and your goal of continuing to add a youthful appearance in other ways. They will be able to work with whatever type of cut you already have to frame your face and make sure that your best new features stand out and get attention.

Accessories

If you have in your possession a "mom" or "grandma" purse, now is the time to get rid of it! Once again, take some time to shop for yourself complimenting all parts of your new look. Earrings and necklaces may look different with a facelift and you want to find more ways to bring attention to yourself and your new look. Don't shy away from bold colors and styles as you make you selections.

When you make any type of drastic change to your appearance you want to follow up with some other style issues. Address them all at one time and create a complete transformation of yourself. Work over the course of the next several weeks and months to take this opportunity to reinvent yourself and run with it. There is no better time than the present to build your confidence and turn back the hands of time.
