Have you ever considered undergoing cosmetic surgery, then disregarded the idea because you felt it was only for movie stars and celebrities? In today’s society, you don’t necessarily need to be a famous model or celebrity to have cosmetic surgery. In fact, millions of people in the United States have cosmetic surgery every year -- including moms, people who want to advance in their careers, seniors who want to reverse signs of aging, and everyone else in between.

None of us are going to magically stop aging. Which means none of us are going to magically avoid looking older. It’s a race against time and, spoiler alert, we always lose! Don’t let that reality be overly daunting or depressing, though, because while the existence of magic isn’t up for discussion, there are real-life, readily available options for you to achieve looking younger. And if you’re under the impression that all cosmetic procedures require a lot of time (time for the procedure, time to recover, time to wait to see the results), then here’s a spoiler alert with a much more positive ending: a major time commitment is not necessarily part of the deal when choosing a cosmetic procedure with the goal of looking younger.
Here are four cosmetic procedures available to you at our GLOW Surgical Arts offices in Redwood City that can be done in under an hour:

Getting older doesn’t just mean being sore longer after a vigorous hike or a healthy bike ride. Yes, youll probably feel more creaky and achy in the mornings in general. Not just after some physical exertion the night before. You simply feel the effects of life more the longer you live it. Its part of the deal. Unfortunately, the effects of aging dont stop there. As we age, our bodies physically change as well.

40 might be the new 20, but that doesnt change the fact that as we age, our bodies change. That goes for our faces too, specifically the area around our eyes and eyelids. Maybe you have already noticed it. Bags under your eyes that make up can no longer hide. Droopy eyelids that having your friends ask if you are getting enough sleep. If our eyes are the mirror to our soul then there may be no area that reflects our age more then the facial skin around them. Although it may be inevitable it is also correctable with a relatively simple cosmetic surgery procedure known as blepharoplasty, or more simply, eyelid lift surgery.

We frequently get asked about lines and wrinkles around the eyes and on the upper and lower eyelids. These areas are so visible, and really encompass the focal point when we look at one another. As with any other area, time and the environment gradually chip away at the firmness of youth. The result? An aged appearance, lines, wrinkles, perhaps some puffiness, and excess skin.
Botox Cosmetic and Xeomin may be the answer - a great choice for smoothing lines and wrinkles between the brows (frown lines), on the forehead, and crow's feet (smile lines next to the eyes). Botox works by calming the tiny muscles in the face that pull on the skin. Less pull, smoother skin.
