McKennaNo, “runway” does not always involve supermodels such as Heidi Klum. “Runway” is a code word in business that describes how many years one has left in their career. Despite mental capacity and energy more a function of health rather than aging, our appearance can give the illusion of a short “runway”. Unfortunately, businesses at times view this negatively when making changes in their companies. Bags under the eyes, jowling, loose neck tissues, and heavy upper eyelids all give the impression of tiredness, premature aging, and lack of energy. Facelifts, browlifts, and eyelidplasties, enable us to look more youthful corresponding to the way we feel inside. Whether it is for professional, social or most importantly, personal reasons, these procedures help us convey a feeling of vitality. And in this presidential season, few of us outside of Ronald Reagan can pull this off without some assistance. Only his barber knows for sure!
