Lol! Thanks for posting this. Things like this make me feel bad in that the "Age 25" type stuff is kind of general "run of the mill" stuff, and I'm aging faster than that. Like, the concern there is PS for aging problems.
Also, melasma treatment for 5000 usd? That's insane lol. That list is totally unhelpful though, mainly because they're not saying which modality will incur those costs, even how much Botox you can get for that amount of money. No-one (savvy) would pay 1.5k a year for microdermabrasion!
According to that list I should be at age 45 with my procedures. Everyone is different and ages at a different rate... those lists just suck because they don't educate or inform in any meaningful way.
Of course, they forgot to mention nutritionists / trainers and the role they play in achieving an optimal look... that costs a heck of a lot too and some surgeons offices have things like that in-house,

OK, granted I'm 56, so I'd probably have to add ten bucks more to this:
Age 55Microdermabrasion: $1,500 Fractional lasering for skin discoloration (non-annual): $5,000 Lip- and nose-line fillers: $4,500 Frown-line fillers: $1,500 Laser resurfacing for loss of elasticity (non-annual): $8,500 Ultrasound cellulite therapy: $2,000 Cheek derma-fillers: $4,000 Body laser treatment for sagging skin: $2,000 Face and neck lift (non-annual): $30,000 Eyelid lift: $7,500 Cost: $66,500 But seriously ... what's with all the LASER stuff on this list?! Does anyone here really think that lasers can address loss of elasticity and sagging skin? And ultrasound for cellulite? Yeah, right - go spend your money on that one. It's a leaky boat that's gonna sink soon anyway. What about body lipo of some sort? Is there a person over 45 who does not feel they need that done in at least ONE area of the body? How come that's not on the list? And the most important thing of all: how does one "surgically" rejuvenate the MIND? Cuz at 56, I can be one grumpy, mulelishly stubborn old bat. I'm guessing I was a lot more cheerful and easy-going as a 19-yr-old. Not saying I want to LOOK 19. But oh - to erase all that jaded, self-righteous, know-it-all, been there, done that stuff. Ooops. I rant. Just like a 56-yr-old.

Damn, all I want is to look thirty-four, thirty-five, maybe even thirty-six on a bad day . . . that's all I want, and at forty <cough>, it's become freakin' exhausting, so I cannot imagine trying to look nineteen. That's just some craziness right there. Who the hell wants to look nineteen? People still have zits at nineteen, for chrissakes. No thanks.

For one thing, there is NO WAY EVER for a 55 year old to look 19 again...second of all, many of the procedures on the list are dubious, such as cellulite removal, and the focus on lasers, as BugJune points out, appears one-sided. These are mostly procedures performed by dermatologists, and as such, I would think that is who is promoting these procedures in this so called "article"

Git outta here. You DO look early 30s. I've seen your mug. Now, do I have to submit your *guilty* plea to the jury? Or are you gonna strike a plea bargain and just quietly get back to the gym or wherever that Fountain of Youth you've been sipping at is? ============================ HateMeI'mALawyer wrote:Damn, all I want is to look thirty-four, thirty-five, maybe even thirty-six on a bad day . . . that's all I want, and at forty <cough>, it's become freakin' exhausting, so I cannot imagine trying to look nineteen.

Those things listed don't make someone look 19 anyway. It was just a media handle. macaroon lover wrote:Well i don't WANT to look 19 again.
NOTICE: I'm having COMPUTER PROBLEMS and can hardly get on the internet or get to my e-mail. It's taken me like 6 hours just today to try to post this message. So, no e-mails or PMs to me until I can remove this message. I have no idea what the problem is. It started with Google Chrome not loading any pages for me. TT helped to uninstall but ran out of time and it would not re-install. CAn't explain the computer problem other than to say I'ts hard for me to access the net or my site.
