(ContentDesk) June 19, 2006 -- For some baby boomers denial and anxiety over aging permeates almost every aspect of their lives.
One example of this obsession with youth is the vast dependency on plastic surgery.
In two decades the number of cosmetic procedures rose from 60,000 to 2 million a year with an annual cost of $10 million dollars.
Reality and other television shows create unhealthy, unrealistic expectations of plastic surgery.
Its clear that the public has been lulled into a sense of false security because these shows do not offer the viewer the whole story of risks and complications associated with invasive procedures such as cosmetic surgery.
An interesting twist is that a recent Zogby poll stated there is a slow and steady redefinition of "what's sexy" to men.
Todays man is looking for a natural, wholesome woman.
The poll revealed that men don't like the "Barbie doll look" nor do they like women who wear a pulled, unnatural looking face most plastic surgery procedures produce .
The same goes for Botox that paralyzes smiles and expressions. The dilemma:
How does one look younger without the risks and complications of cosmetic surgery?
Answer:
There is an organic, purely natural method of facial muscle retraining that doesnt use injections or surgery, just simple exercises.
Also ones bank account receives an added benefit, for less than $100.00 one can have the results of a face lift without going into debt. Cynthia Rowland is a widely recognized expert in all-natural facial fitness with many years experience in health & beauty related fields.
She has spent the past 18 years showing men and women how to look 10 to 15 younger and enjoy a healthier appearance using a program that has had over one million successful transformations. The Pasadena Star said of Ms. Rowland "Cynthia Rowland is a woman on a mission.
And that mission she embraces with the zeal of a dozen St. Joans, is this:
When age starts having its ugly way with your face - wattling your chin, jowling your cheeks and lining your forehead you don't have to resort to the scalpel or injecting silicone or botulism."
Ms. Rowland's program, Facial Magic, gives everyone the opportunity to "embrace aging in a conscious way" because she offers an option to plastic surgery that changes ones appearance and gives them back the face they remember 10 to 15 years ago..
The Swan on the Chopping Block
When Anderson wrote "The Ugly Duckling", he was imagining a natural transformation from awkward youth to mature beauty.
His vision did not include a meat cleaver.
The new network show, "The Swan" is a travesty on so many levels that it is difficult to know where to begin.
There is nothing wrong with using cosmetic surgery to correct a definitive flaw but to turn yourself over to megalomaniacs with scalpels is cause for more therapy than these women are receiving.
It is unconscionable that television should even consider anything so potentially damaging.
However, the women who allow themselves to be the golden goose (to mix metaphors) are equally to blame.
What sane women would with good conscience turn herself over to strangers without having any input into what is being done. The Swan reflects society's superficial attitude towards cosmetic surgery as a cure all for everything from natural aging to an unhealthy lifestyle.

"Extreme" Cosmetic Surgery -- Study Finds No Extra Complications with Combined Procedures
Los Angeles, CA (ContentDesk) August 13, 2005 -- There is no denying the continued popularity of cosmetic surgery and procedures: Americans are very interested in looking the best they can. As technology and surgical procedures improve, elective surgery has become a viable option for more and more people. Often, when people begin to consider cosmetic surgery they become interested in several procedures that would mean multiple operations. Now, as highlighted in many television shows, news segments and magazine articles, more people opt to combine procedures into one operation, saving costs and healing time periods as well as seeing the final results more quickly.While multiple procedures in one operation saved time and money, it was important to determine if there were drawbacks. Traditional surgical thinking believed prolonged anesthesia could increase risks or complications, but definitive data did not exist.
