A few months before the holidays might be the best time to get those beautifying procedures that you’ve been putting off for too long and can now afford. You should do some of them, like the mini tummy tucks, a few months before. By the time the holidays come around neither you nor your friends will believe how well you look!
Mini Tummy Tuck
This isn’t as invasive as a full tummy tuck, but just trims away some of the excess skin and fat. Maybe you’ve had weight loss surgery and the welcome but rapid shedding of pounds has left some parts a little flabby and not amenable to exercise? A mini tummy tuck procedure is just the thing.
Breast Lift
Are the girls a little saggy as well? A breast lift doesn’t necessarily have to make them enormous, just a bit perky, like they were a few years ago. The great thing is you don’t even have to go under the knife for this one. A high quality bra can improve a great deal. Have your bust measured by a pro, then try on a bunch of bras till you find the right one. If you’re a little flat, a little padding that no one has to know about helps too. There are even fake silicone inserts that go not under the skin, but inside the bra. They’re quite comfortable!
Teeth
A little cosmetic dentistry can go a long way. Are some of your teeth a little discolored or stained? They can be covered over with material that matches the rest of your teeth without too much expense. This is called bonding and it’s much less expensive than crowns. Bonding also lets you preserve more of your teeth and makes them less sensitive.
Ideally, if you want to whiten your teeth, you should let the dentist do it. Bleaching agents can be caustic, even if the bleach for home use is much more dilute than what the dentist uses. If you do whiten your teeth at home, make sure that you’re supervised by your dentist. He or she can make impressions of your teeth and provide a tray that holds just the right amount of bleaching agent. It usually takes a little less than a month to see results.
These fashion tips will make you sparkle just in time for the holidays!
Emily I like your post, you have some good points especially about the bra inserts. I just read a post from a young woman who is struggling with BDD and she said the bra inserts have really helped her self-esteem. I added the link as my website entry, I hope that’s ok. I just think it is important for others to read.
