Really Bring Out Your Features This New Year

Now that it's a brand new year, it may be time for a brand new you! Saying goodbye to 2011 doesn't mean saying good-bye to your old self completely, however. One of the following options can help to bring out a new (and younger) you for the rest of 2012:

Lip Augmentation

The Procedure: Lip augmentation usually involves an injection or an implant. Collagen and fat grafting are two of the most common types; these require repeat visits to maintain the plumping effect. Injections are simply done with a needle and require only one session. Implants are inserted into the lip through tiny incisions.

The Cost: $1,500 to $3,000 per lip (2012 prices)

Brow Lift

The Procedure: For a brow lift, incisions are made to alter or remove the muscles in the forehead that lead to wrinkling and sagging. This can be an incision behind the hairline, or tiny incisions which then allow the doctor to use an endoscope. Bandages may need to be worn for the first day or two afterward, and stitches may be in place for up to two weeks.

The Cost: $2,500 to $5,000

Eyelid Lift

The Procedure: As we age, eyelids can start to thin and begin to wrinkle. For an eyelid lift, incisions are made in the folds of the eyelids in order to tighten them up and remove that sagging look. Some excess skin is removed, and then the incision is stitched up.

The Cost: $4,000 to $5,000 for both eyelids
