Step 1
Explore alternatives to facial surgery. You can start by asking your doctor about chemical peels, which can significantly reduce the appearance of wrinkles, discoloration, scarring, signs of acne and age.
-
Step 2
Inquire about BOTOX® Cosmetic or collagen injections to treat wrinkles. Restylane® and Hylaform® are also two types of synthetic substances that can be injected directly into the face (including lips) to reduce the look of wrinkles and skin folding.

Step 3
Talk only to qualified doctors and nurses. Make sure the professionals are certified with The American Board of Plastic Surgery or the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, and do not take advice from unqualified people. For minor procedures that don't involve actual surgery, make sure you consult with a certified aesthetician.

Step 4
Look into mesotherapy and other forms of body sculpting as an alternative to liposuction. Mesotherapy is a technique popular in Europe that is now being used in the U.S. with great results.
-
Step 5
Consider holistic alternatives such as StarFace Facial Yoga or face sculpting exercises, which promote muscle strength and can help battle saggy skin. These non-invasive methods can offer needle-nervous men and women healthy alternatives.

Step 6
Opt for natural solutions before undergoing cosmetic surgery. Explore the idea of using natural ways of obtaining the desired results. Diet and exercise can go a long way, as do giving up smoking, resting appropriately and eating better. Before deciding to undergo cosmetic surgery, consider the small changes you can do to improve your overall health and appearance.

Step 7
Get in shape. Most doctors will require that you lose weight before you decide to undergo liposuction or other body sculpting surgeries. Many times, the weight loss itself will fix the problems that you were looking to remedy with surgery.
