Women's magazines and certain home pages for major search engines typically relay the latest and greatest five ways to stop aging now, seven helpful tips to stop unwanted hair growth and even ten ways to leave your lover. If you are like most people, these headlines draw you into reading or at least skimming the article to see if any of these tips resonate with your life needs.

Some of these tips are meant to tickle your funny bone but when dispensing sage advice, they just might miss the mark.

A recent magazine and internet article offered information regarding under eye circles, boosting your eyebrows and using under eye concealers.

"Give Crow's Feet the Boot" stated that these lines are formed as a result of lost collagen in the skin and gave the impression that by using a topical retinol or Vitamin A derivative, those lines and wrinkles would be lessened.

Yes, loss of collagen can certainly create lines and wrinkles but most Crow's feet are caused by repeated squinting motions coupled with an elongated forehead muscle that has pooled into the eyebrow muscles. Using a topical treatment to treat this type of compression may very temporarily ease the look of Crow's Feet but when squinting is repeated and gravity sets in, the lines and creases will return.

Using chilled eye compresses to temporarily alleviate under eye puffiness caused by fluid retention is well known; however, did you know that by decreasing your salt intake and slightly increasing your water consumption can deflate those puffy eyes?

In addition, try sleeping on a higher, firmer pillow and slide a one-inch book under each leg of your bed's headboard to slightly incline the pitch so that you are not sleeping flat. Check with your Doc if you are taking medication and under eye puffiness persists because long-term puffiness may indicate another condition.

Lifting your eyebrows by reshaping your eyebrow's arch or stenciling doesn't really create a difference if your eye lids are flabby, lined and moving toward your lashes. Hooded eye lids are a result of the eyebrow muscle losing its tone and resiliency; plucking or drawing does not correct the problem.

What makes a difference to help you look years younger? Can circles, droopy eyelids, brows and other age related appearances be remedied?

The best kept anti-aging secret is facial exercise! Facial exercise can stop crow's feet, lift sagging eyelids, lighten and brighten the under eye area and much, much more.

Concerned that your under eye bags are there forever and those dark circles make you look like a zombie even though you daily use a concealer in every conceivable shade?

Here is a movement you can begin to help you look years younger in just seconds a day.

Try the 100-circle exercise for under eye puffiness and dark circles: Apply a very small amount of an eye treatment product to the ring finger of your dominant hand. Begin under the inner brow and lightly trace upwards and outwards until a full circle has been completed around the upper and lower eye region. Gently perform this exercise about 100 times around each eye making certain the under eye area is well lubricated before you begin.

You can stop the formation of Crow's feet by elevating the forehead and upper eye brows. Prove this now: place the three middle fingers of each hand underneath your eye brows and push them upward. Do you see how the Crow's feet are no longer apparent?

Simple resistance exercise can change the shape and contour of your face quickly without risk or harm. In just minutes a day, your face can look revitalized and fresh naturally.

Crow's feet and sagging eyebrows can be remedied by performing one exercise that requires only 35 seconds of your time each day.

Enjoy the confidence knowing that your face can be saved without resorting to silly tactics that might disappoint you.

Las Vegas is one of those towns where just about everybody is from somewhere else. It's been a maniacal boomtown for years and has been flooded by both service workers and professionals looking to put down roots. So the usual dynamic of long established social and professional infrastructures doesn't necessarily apply (except for the casinos). If you're interviewing potential plastic surgeons there, don't be surprised if they were born, raised and educated elsewhere.

One of the ways to look at choosing Las Vegas to have your breast augmentation or liposuction done in Las Vegas is to consider it a money-saving opportunity because the medical activity will keep you out of the casinos. But you're going to find "bargain" cosmetic surgery facilities there, just like any other professional service in a boom town full of tourists. Here are some queries to keep in mind.

On your initial phone contact:

Is the doctor (or doctors) board certified? Further, is the certifying body recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS)? That is the key question, as the ABMS is recognized by the AMA as the arbiter of medial certification organizations. The American Board of Plastic Surgery meets that standard. Many other certifying bodies do not.

Is there a consulting fee? If the answer is no, that may or may not mean it's a bargain basement clinic. If there is a consulting fee, will it be applied to the surgery fee? That would seem to be the fair practice in a competitive market.

If you move to the personal interview stage:

Will the doctor doing the interview be the person performing the procedure? That may seem obvious, but in some of the clinics that are high volume operations, the interview is basically a sales job. If that's the case, move on.

Does the doctor discuss alternatives? You may be set on a tuck where liposuction would work as well or better. The doctor should discuss differing options on achieving what you want. Your job is to be sure what result you want - not what procedure you need. That's the doctor's job.

Does the doctor describe the limitations of each procedure along with its benefits? Every plastic surgery procedure has a 'reality based' side you should be aware of. Botox and many other types of filler dissipate in relatively short order. Breast implants may break open, may harden, and will almost certainly have to be replaced or repositioned after a period of years. You shouldn't have to ask about these matters - they should be part of the presentation.

If there is anesthesia involved, will the anesthesiologist be licensed and board certified? Once again, make sure the board is recognized by the ABMS.
