fabulous in your 40s

By the time we hit 40, we are starting to feel the effects of aging. Maybe our teeth don't look as great as they used to, our hair is thinning and we find it harder to lose weight or maintain our figures. Drastic times call for drastic measures and there are procedures available to make us look and feel our best in our 40s.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Step 1

Bring that beautiful smile back by visiting the dentist. Get your teeth cleaned and repair cavities and chips. The ideal time to have a whitening procedure is right after a cleaning. If needed, talk your dentist about veneers to improve the look of your teeth. A brilliant smile will take off years and increase your self-esteem.
Step 2

If you have thinning hair, consult with a stylist. Perhaps a new cut and color treatment is all you need. Perhaps the stylist will suggest adding a few hair extensions to boost volume. If you have a more serious hair loss condition, consult a doctor or hair loss clinic for medical treatment.
Step 3

If you have worry lines on your forehead or crows feet that are bothersome, try a little Botox or the cheaper alternative, Reloxin/Dysport. It does make your skin smoother. I did not care for the result between my eyebrows because it made them droop a bit. But I loved having a smooth forehead.
Step 4

If you BMI is 39 or higher, consider having gastric bypass or the LapBand. Weight loss only gets harder when you hit menopause after age 50. Why struggle and feel bad about yourself? It takes courage to consider this procedure, but the results are worth it.
