Even a "New York City Housewife" is Forgoing the Knife in Favor of a Liquid Face Lift

Everyone knows those "real housewives" of New York City. Recently, one of them admitted to having a liquid face lift, rather than going under the knife. Here we have a woman who can pretty well do anything to look younger, and she chose to have a liquid face lift instead of subjecting herself to major surgery and a paiful recovery.

When you face the mirror and admit to yourself that things are not as toned and firm as they used to be, you begin to wonder what your options are. Years ago, the only real option was a full surgical face lift, but now, there are so many alternatives that involve nothing more than an hour or so spent in the doctors office. You wonder why any woman would want to subject herself to the pain of a surgical procedure when there are much less invasive procedures available. Yes, they involve needles, and yes, they're far from pain free, but they cost less and they don't require hiding from the world for a month in order to heal.

The women of reality TV are the new role models for so many of us; be it for their fashion sense, how they raise their kids, or how they manage to juggle the drama for the cameras. These wealthy "housewives" have the best of the best at their disposal, and they could certainly go the cosmetic surgery route to get ratings, but when they choose sensible alternatives, the general public sits up and pays attention. Choosing a liquid face lift over a surgical procedure might not be earthshattering news, but when a woman doesn't feel good about how she looks, all it takes is another woman to give her that push to do something about it. It doesn't matter if it's a real-life friend, or a wealthy reality TV housewife.
