Overhauling Your Look

About Me

Overhauling Your Look

After I had my last child, I could tell that I needed to do something to improve my lifestyle. I was overweight, unhappy, and incredibly tired all of the time. I wanted to make my life better, so I started thinking more seriously about overhauling things. I began hitting the gym a few times a week and focusing more on my lifestyle, and it made a huge difference. Within weeks, my weight started to drop off, and I was able to enjoy an entirely new lifestyle. I also looked into a lot of cosmetic procedures that could help me look the way I wanted. This blog is all about overhauling your lifestyle and making changes to your appearance.

3 Common Mistakes To Avoid When Getting Botox

Botox is an incredible cosmetic procedure that can greatly reduce wrinkles on your forehead. After just one treatment, you can have healthier looking skin. For you to see optimal results, though, you need to avoid these simple mistakes. 

Selecting the Wrong Surgeon

A lot of patients make the mistake of choosing the wrong cosmetic surgeon. They may be lured in by affordable prices, only to find out that the cosmetic surgeon doesn't know the intricacies of this process. Then, severe medical complications can occur. 

You can avoid this dilemma simply by carefully choosing your surgeon. Make sure they have years of experience with this procedure, and you'll also need to verify that they're licensed to operate on patients in your state. If you get any funny vibes with a particular surgeon or with their practice, keep searching. Your health is on the line, after all.

Not Being Transparent About Medical History 

Despite having been around for a long time, Botox is not a full-proof procedure. Complications could arise during surgery, especially if you're on certain prescription medication. Unfortunately, a lot of patients today fail to disclose this important medical information with their surgeon. Then, their results are significantly altered.

So that you don't suffer the same fate, always tell your surgeon exactly what medications you're on and what medical conditions you have. Then, if there are potential warnings flags then your surgeon can advise against the Botox operation so that your health is not compromised in any way. 

Doing the Wrong Things During Recovery

There are some patients that believe they can do whatever they want after their Botox operation. Then, when they push themselves too hard, their Botox results are not as great.  As a precaution, you need to follow the right recovery protocol after having this procedure done. 

This will entail limiting the amount of physical activity you engage in per day and maintaining a healthy diet. You should absolutely avoid any type of alcohol. Most importantly, avoid touching your skin where the Botox injections were administered. Following these simple steps will ensure your recovery goes according to plan and doesn't take as long. 

A Botox treatment is an incredible cosmetic option if you're looking for a more youthful appearance. As long as you avoid simple mistakes, you can get the most out of these injections. Try to become an informed patient ever before surgery, so that unnecessary complications don't have to occur.
