Hand Lifts are on the rise

Getting married is something that some women want to do their entire life. For a lot of these women, the  moment when they are proposed to is something they will want to remember forever. Many of us see a lot of our friends getting engaged, whether it be through a text or a phone call or through social media. Whatever the case, there is always a picture of “The ring”.

Aside from all the joy that comes from this type of occasion, there is also a lot of insecurity that comes with it. Not necessarily because of the marriage itself, but because of everything that will be in the public eye. From Pinterest-perfect weddings to everyone posting pictures of their hands on social media, this can cause a woman to become self-conscious about, yes, the way her hand looks. Hands area actually one of the first places on the body that show signs of aging, and this can be a cause of great insecurity for women who post pictures of their ring-adorned hand for all to see.

Because of this problem, “hand-lifts” have started to become a common procedure in places like France. The procedure is not new or innovative but is suddenly becoming more common.

As each of us grow older, our hands can lose the elasticity and fat that they once had, which causes them to look more old and ragged than they might have in the past. They can look more bony, and have wrinkles that look more prominent. Because of these, people are turning more and more to plastic surgery.

Injections that are typically done for the face can actually be used in the hands to create the same kind of effect, and will actually have results that are nearly instantaneous. This does not require invasive surgery, but only a simple injection.

The only question left is this: are women doing this before they get engaged? Or are they choosing to do it after, and don’t post a picture until they have had work done? This is an interesting question to consider. Some women may choose to do it before they get professional pictures taken.

Hand lifts are actually not a bad thing to have, it just might seem silly to some. However, no one will ever be completely satisfied with all the things that come with their body, so why not take some steps to improve it in a great way? It’s important that you look and feel your best, especially on your wedding day when you’ll be going around for all to see.
