Ever look at that adorable man you married and wish that he still had that handsome, manly face without the jowls, pouches, and double chin?
Maybe you’ve introduced him to skin care items like eye treatments, bronzers, and concealers, and he is using them, but you know that these specialty items aren’t enough to change the shape and contour of his jaw line.
Encouraging your significant other to become a regular at the gym is great advice to increase his cardio and muscle structure from the neck down, but his face that is soft and spongy needs to be altered and lifted so he can look years younger.
Is surgery the answer? Probably not. Facial plastic surgery for men can be tricky because the scars are sometimes visible, and of course, we’ve seen the celebrity men who have undergone procedures that haven’t turned out so well. Some of the results are truly, horrifyingly permanent, and these are people with a lot of money who can easily afford the excessive fees the top docs charge. Just because you pay top dollar for cosmetic procedures doesn’t mean that you will like the results you receive and you want your Honey to look like he did when he was younger.
Using scalpels and sutures to change a face is risky business. There are a lot of considerations to think about; of course, there is the financial consideration because facial plastic surgery isn’t cheap. A few little nips and tucks can easily cost more than $5,000 so make sure that sweet guy of yours understands that surgery doesn’t stop the aging process.
Choosing a qualified surgeon is another hurdle (they cannot guarantee the results); there are some very good surgeons out there, but there are many who are not experienced or trained to perform these intricate procedures and they want your money. Buyer beware!
Surgery comes with severe considerations such as healing challenges, problems relating to anesthesia, infection, excessive bleeding, and deep bruising, long-term paralysis, numbness surrounding the incision, the skin can discolor, and there can be necrosis, and loss of hair. EWWW!
If your husband has health challenges such as high blood pressure, arthritis, diabetes, is overweight, or has cholesterol challenges, these can cause complications and interfere with a successful surgery.
Injections that plump and paralyze might seem tempting for that man of yours but sometimes they can make your guy appear a little freakish. Those bunny lines that develop alongside the nose when paralyzing toxins are injected into the forehead can happen to men, too. Those paralyzed areas will continue to droop and sag plus wrinkles can develop in other areas of his face.
Creating a better looking face doesn’t have to be expensive, risky, painful, or have an oops factor. In fact, when you introduce your guy to specialized facial exercises, the concerns of costly, dangerous procedures do not apply.
Faces look softened and droopy from lack of exercise, making the wearer look less young and vibrant. Exercise tightens facial muscles just like exercise tightens and tones the torso, arms, and legs. When your forehead muscles atrophy, your eyebrows drop and eyelids become lined. The same is true of your cheeks, jowls, and neck.
Simple isometric, resistance exercises target and strengthen the underlying muscles of your face. If your guy has worked out with weights, he will understand this principle and when he uses exercise he will see how his face lifts, tones, contours, and tightens.
Ohio entertainer, Brad Allen, has this to say regarding his experience with facial exercise, “I did facial exercise every day for three months. After approximately two months, a friend, a portrait artist who really knows faces, noticed the difference. She noticed on her own that I looked younger. I said I was doing specialized facial exercises … My friend said I looked brighter, younger, and refreshed. She observed a tightening where subtle sags had been starting. Even after cutting back to once a week, I noticed that I maintained my new, younger look.”
