Signs Of Aging

American culture values youthful appearances and that has spurred the growth of the cosmetic surgery industry. Women and men purchase billions of dollars in cosmetics and undergo a variety of procedures in the quest to slow down aging. There are many signs of aging but it's wrinkles that seem to get the most attention. Cosmetic treatments to reduce the appearance of, or to eliminate, wrinkles include face lifts, Botox injections, laser skin treatments, chemical peels, dermafiller injections, and surgery to name just a few. One of the most common cosmetic surgeries is a face lift where sagging skin is pulled, trimmed, and re-stitched. Most of the time these procedures are completed without problems, but there are also many cases where complications develop due to a number of causes. These causes may include surgeon incompetence or reactions to chemicals used during treatments.
