A recent study by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons suggests that despite a person's genetic make-up, it seems external environmental factors play a much bigger role in adding years to one's face. The study, appearing in the latest online ASPS medical journal, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery?, involved analyzing twins, their perceived age, and important environmental factors such as divorce, weight gain, stress, and the use of antidepressants.
"A person's heritage may initially dictate how they age - but if you introduce certain factors into your life, you will certainly age faster. Likewise, if you avoid those factors you can slow down the hands of time," said ASPS Member Surgeon and study author Bahaman Guyuron, MD, professor and chairman, department of plastic surgery, University Hospitals Case Medical Center. "In this study, we looked at identical twins because they are genetically programmed to age exactly the same, and in doing so we essentially discovered that, when it comes to your face, it is possible to cheat your biological clock."
It seems that the twin that were divorced, used antidepressants, and were under 40 years old and heavier of the two, looked significantly older than their double. Although the group that was 40 years or older, the heavier of the two looked younger. Researchers noted that losing abnormal amounts of weight not only have harmful effects on a person's health, but on their appearance too. Also, the use of antidepressants could account for the continued relaxation of facial muscles, and thus sagging of the facial skin. Overall, it seems as though stress seemed to be the common denominator of premature aging.
Tampa Bay plastic surgeon Dr. Eric Egozi is an expert in facial rejuvenation. He has also acknowledged that stress factors play a major part in the aging of the face. He has stated that many of his Tampa Bay cosmetic surgery patients come in because they are sick of being asked if they are tired all the time. Though they may look exhausted, the effects of stress have taken their toll on their faces, even though they feel great. ?Many patients simply want to look as young as they feel,? he said.
Another concern of Dr. Egozi's patients is after electing for plastic surgery procedures such as Tampa Bay facelift surgery, they do not want that overdone, ?wind blown? look, that looks too obvious. To that, Dr. Egozi suggests a variation of different facelift techniques which he has acquired over his many years as a surgeon, which are aimed at giving more natural-looking, as well as long-lasting.
Another option for facial rejuvenation in Tampa eyelid surgery ? or blepharoplasty ? is one of the most popular procedures.. Lower eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) is often combined with upper lid blepharoplasty to get optimal results. Many times the lower lids sag and bulge adding to the tired or sad look patients complain about when coming in for an evaluation. The lower lid skin, fat, and sometimes muscle needs to be excised or repositioned to enhance the lower lids without giving a sunken or hollowed out appearance.
And another option still is the non-surgical, sometimes called the ?liquid facelift.? This type of facial rejuvenation often involves any combination of injections, such as Botox, Radiesse, Restylane, Sculptra, or Juvedern, and sometimes laser skin resurfacing procedures. With these non-surgical facelift options, the recovery time is anywhere from an hour to a few days depending on what is chosen. Typically, most these methods can be done in about 1 hour or less. According to ASPS statistics, there were more than 1.5 million injectable filler procedures performed in 2007.
Does this sound familiar?: "Sell a product to a market that you know! Find your passion, your expertise, and the market is easy to sell to!"
That's a common piece of advice that you've heard or will hear as you enter the very lucrative Online Marketing Business.
Don't believe it!
That advice comes from well-meaning “experts”. But it leads to certain disappointment and eventual, inevitable failure.
You can make many mistakes along the path to Internet Riches, but following that advice dooms you to failure even before you begin.
There are two ingredients absolutely necessary to ensure your success in Internet Marketing:
1) Huge Demand
2) Buyers
If you start by examining your passions or expertise, you might produce a product on that knowledge. It's probably easy for you to write an eBook about what really interests you. The words would flow smoothly.
But, that eBook could mean the World to you, but have low or no demand. What if your passion was gardening, and you write a book on how to grow flowers that stink? Aha, you say, no one else is offering this, and there are millions of gardeners.
There is NO demand for stinky flowers.
Even if you find that there are people searching in Google for stinky flowers, and there is some interest for them within the gardening communities, you'd never be able to sell enough of that eBook to make a great income, let alone a living from it.
Or, what if you select a topic that you already know has a huge following?
For example, there is a gigantic market with a common interest: Jokes!
So, you plan to go after that huge market with your own, original joke book.
This plan is also doomed. Not because there is no Huge Demand, but because there are no Buyers. At most, a precious few will buy your eBook. Nearly everyone searching online for jokes, are looking for free ones – there are millions available – for free!
There is not enough money in that market to make your six-figure income.
So, what IS necessary to make that much money through Online Marketing?
You MUST tap into a market that has a Huge Demand – PLUS – Buyers
The visitors to your website must have their credit cards in hand – ready to buy your solution to their problem!
So now you know the formula:
Huge Demand + Buyers = YOUR MONSTER ONLINE MARKETING INCOME!
Beginning with this formula will avoid the disappointment of producing a product that nobody wants, and it will bring such success that it will be impossible to stop the flow if money into your bank account!
But, you say, I don't know how to produce a product, nor write a book.
You don't need to!
Marketers who have neither products nor books of their own make thousands of dollars every day!
They are making their livings through commissions from selling other peoples' products and eBooks.
Just imagine how much the actual owners of those products and eBooks are making every day!
You can find products with Huge Demand + Buyers and thereby make your fortune too!
Imagine; day after day, thousands of Buyers visit your website needing the product or eBook you're selling - $$$$$
Then, find another, and another, and another…..
What's more, a digital eBook has nearly ZERO overhead and shipping costs – it's all profit!
BUT – you must start by finding a hot market with a Huge Demand
Remember: It's just as easy to market a high-demand product, as it is to market an eBook on stinky flowers!
These two factors – Huge Demand and Buyers - always separate those millionaires who succeed in Internet Marketing from the wannabes.
Don't listen to those mistaken gurus: Simply sell what thousands are already buying!
The path to your online fortune is selling; not to your passion, not even ABOUT your passion. It has NOTHING to do with your passions, your expertise nor even your interests.
It IS: Huge Demand + Buyers
There you go… are you starting your marketing efforts from a base with those two factors?
Or are you struggling while making a few dollars occasionally by marketing to your passions?
