at 55 I think its okay but young people in my country get botox as young as 27...its pretty scary , I think that I maybe think of botox when I am 36-40
@@HK-gm8pe botox is not a facial filler. Botox is knows from 1950s, it paralyses muscles, it does not fill, thats why it is not a filler. Filler is absolutely different thing, it is a hyaluronic acid.
@@HK-gm8pe Botox is a toxin. There’s a risk of blindness, and it makes the muscles atrophy, which can lead to bone loss. I’m mid 40s, starting to see signs of aging, and I want nothing to do with Botox or fillers. I’ll take the aging! 😊
How incredibly refreshing for the truth to be shared with the general public, really appreciate your honesty, articulation, intelligence and good judgement.
No hyped, heavily sponsored or self promoting video. So unusual, so refreshing.! And addressing your audience like adults capable of thinking by themselves for themselves.Thank you!👍I got fillers in my nasolabial lines as a preventative measure in 2007, then again in 2011 thinking about doing it every 3 years or so....Finally, I had other things to finance and only went back to my dermatologist in 2022!! And still as a preventative measure...since the lines are still very discreet on my face but deep nasolabial lines are a trademark of several members of my family. THERE IS REALLY NO NEED TO GET INJECTIONS EVERY YEAR!
Amen!! I thought I’d do all this stuff when I got older, because I wanted to hold on to being beautiful, and now I’m older, and I want nothing do with Botox and fillers!! My health matters soooo much more to me than my looks. The older I get, the less I care about my looks (but I definitely still make an effort).
Thank you so much for this important information. I am 66 and have never had botox, filler or anything else in my face. It just never seemed like a good idea. I really like how a natural face looks. Keep these great videos coming.
That was the most honest and concise explanation on the potential problems of getting fillers I have ever seen or heard. I'm sure u helped many people make more educated decisions. Definitely forwarding this to my daughter, who had valid reservations, tried a tiny bit in her lips, but said the pain of injection wasn't worth the subtle effect....especially having to repeat it every 3 or 4 months. Hopefully, after seeing ur incredible presentation, that opinion will be reinforced. On a lighter note, hearing you describing "Hollow Temples," I thought that would be a great name for an Emo band, or a documentary on the loss of faith in organized religious institutions. 😄😄
Great informative video. We see many patients with temporal issues, especially females. As we age, with hormonal changes, bone loss(reabsorption), and fat loss, the temples almost take on, what we refer to as, a "peanut look"....so temples are always addressed at the appropriate time and on the appropriate patient. Hyper dilute Sculptra works well in this area. We like your straightforward videos. Please keep them coming!
Wow! You have just earned my respect for being so ethical, honest and informative of the truth. We definitely need more surgeons like you. Thank you so much. I’d love to hear more about the effects fillers has on cosmetic surgery. For instance, is a face with filler more difficult to lift during a facelift? Does it affect the outcome or longevity of the results? Can you remove the filler during surgery? Also apparently one surgeon said that he would not work on faces that had hyalauronidase injected into it as it somehow compromises the SMAS layer. According to the surgeon the smas layer is a lot thinner after having filler dissolved. This information he shared was removed. So it makes me wonder if there is truth in this. Lots of people are having issues after having filler dissolved. So I’d like to know the truth about this also. Lastly, please can you do a video on how the complications from filler are addressed. How do you treat occlusions, nodules, necrosis etc…… Thanks again. I have subscribed to your channel because you’re the first person who I’ve come across that doesn’t sugar coat things and tells the truth! So please keep it up. 😊
Love this very honest and researched explanations on fillers! I’ve gone through a traumatic bike accident loosing the mandibles in my jaw many years ago & I’ve wondered how can I get the volume back in my jaw area. I did undergo several surgeries to re-brake my jaws so that I could close my mouth, not for aesthetic purposes… and then a final one to put one small implant to recreate the loss of volume (mostly on my right side of face where I was hit) Unfortunately , the implant wouldn’t take and had to be removed asap ( it caused infections) I wonder, trying not to be obsessing, how my face would look now if I had my volume back. To inject might be an option ? However I’ve been through enough and this video is great , showing the downfalls of injections. Having had several MAXILLO facial surgeries , I understand the difficulties.
Effective Facial exercises and weight lifting help preserve facial structures. Thank you for this in-depth analysis, I think the fact that these procedures don’t last becomes addictive for some patients.
weight-lifting/being thin is ageing to the face. If you're fat (being fat is the new norm=most people), ANY exercise will make you look younger, if you're genetically thin (me) don't over-do it because you will look like an old "gristle-hen". Muscle is always good though , no matter how fat or thin you are.
Ultimately to preserve facial structure you need to preserve as much bone as you can. Replacing vitamin k2 is very helpful. Dr rajani on RU-vid has great information on this. Most facial aging g that is most noticeable is a result of bone resorption.
@@Yentra163 well if obese people loose extreme amounts of weight the fat pads shrink shift and change causing sagging. Not to mention loosing it quickly results in stretch marks ( while not on the face) still become a big problem for skin sagging in other areas bc these are deep scars that either need removed via skin surgery or heavily ablative lasers which is costly. I do however understand where you say the fat can give an illusion of youth bc the skin is filled out to an extent
As someone who is careless with my DIY and other things; I've always been extremely wary and will not get fillers or Botox.… Thank you for your honesty. Would like to see videos on radio frequency, microcurrent, sonic, laser. Thanks
Speaking of Profhilo, unfortunately I was persuaded to do this treatment once, fortunately only half the dose for the face. After a few days, instead of the promised even spread on the face, the preparation began to fall, creating jaws, which I did not have before ... I wrote about it on the largest forum of aesthetic procedures in my country and it turned out that many women have serious complications after profhilo in the form of nodules, lumps, heavy drooping jaw line... Profhilo is a scam with good publicity! Thank you for the accurate information about fillers.
I had it twice according to the protocol from the manufacturer. There are only a few places they recommend injecting it. I had good results, although it didn't do much.
I appreciate your honest and professional experience with improper use of filler. You indicate the poor choices for filler in the face but fail to really pinpoint actual good places, or circumstances where it would be of positive benefit. I want a yes do this in this scenario type of video.
I think I mention towards the end, any area of volume loss can be addressed with filler. the lips and the cheeks and tear trough are all good places but only for volume loss, not for soft tissue descent.
I wish more people spoke up like this. I am 27 mos post 200 units of botox in my face/head. It spread systemic very fast..if I will make a full recovery, time will tell. I'm glad I never got filler like my ENT suggested post parotidectomy complications. Thank you !
I had an alergic reaction after fillers in my lips. I was not informed that this could happen and got hold of them on the phone. They said it was normal and I could go to the ER if it did not reduce in couple of hours. It was some painful hours but the worst was the fear that this would be permanent. She used a needle at my lips and it was very painful. The botox was nothing compared but I would suggest go to a doctor or experienced person to do anything to your skin. Preferable do nothing or as little as possible. Things can go ba very fast You can get addicted to the precidures and that will damage your looks in the long run and cost much more than you ever imagined. RN, Norway.
all of what you say is true but I am not fundamentally against any of these products but they all have limitations and I am trying to highlight what those are. thanks for your contribution.
I got sucked into the trend and had a very bad reaction to Botox , was bedridden and suffering severe headaches , dry mouth , weakness, nausea etc for weeks and weeks. I tried filler in my lips once and I felt strange pains and sensitivity for weeks also and lumps. Both come with life threatening risks. Very distressing. I won’t ever put a needle in my face again . Most people really don’t need anything done. Embrace individuality. It’s a multi million billion dollar industry and media etc pushes it and normalised it. Health is far more important . Avoid unnecessary procedures. That’s my experience anyway
As a practitioner myself , your knowledge is so worth it to consider before offering clients for fillers and really explain the side effects and warnings. Thank you so much . Would love to come to Manchester to visit you ! Ronaldo here Nurse ( clear light clinic london)
Well well well. Here is a doctor who is ETHICAL. All doctors who do injectables should watch this. I have EDS and cannot believe the dangerous practices so many engage in without fully thinking about outcomes. Many EDS patients have MCAD and although even the hospital have advocated Botox I researched and believe that neurotoxin and stretching the collagen matrix with filler could result in ANA and possibly permeant neurological damage. Every time I see tear trough filler I wince. My artery is visible through my tear trough and I think to myself that despite this I would rather stick forks in my eyes and lose my vision that way than have an alien substance migrate into an artery or push into my ocular nerve and blind me slowly with filler. I wonder what will happen to people and their immune systems 30 or 20 years post filer usage. Got to be an epidemic slowly happening. This doctor is very good! Subscribed.
A lot of bad news and disappointments.. would love to see you do a video listing only the procedures that work and you recommend . Also a video that tells us some new up and coming procedures or products that look promising.
I haven't finished the video yet, but I got filler in my lips about 1.5years ago, it was just 1 ml and I love my lips now but the filler hasn't disappeared at all! It's maybe only 10% less now, so yeah, I can say that it doesn't go away like everyone told me it will (they said 6-12 months max), or at least not completely. In my case it's great, my lips were never overfilled and they look natural now, but damn it could be different for someone who hates their filler :/ Edit: finished the video, wow, he has seen patients with filler placed 10 years ago 😱 damn
I mean if u hate ur filler then yeah it sucks it doesn’t dissolve on its own..but if u still like ur filler and its been in there for 10+ years so what?? Ur still somewhat getting the effect
I've had fillers on my smile lines many times, and never had a problem. They last about a year for me, but as i age I notice that they are getting deeper.. so I have to start embracing my age or continue to camouflage my aging process. Now, that u have explained everything quite well , I have decisions to make . The lip fillers were a waste of money for me because it dissolved so fast for me to enjoy the look .
Adam Thank you for this very informative video 🙏 I personally love mesotheraphy with skin booster I have a routine that includes Microdermabrasion facial and neck Microcurrent facial and neck Radio Frequency on facial contour to get rid of the fat under my chin Mesotheraphy skin booster facial and neck between Hyaluronic Acid - peptides - placenta and vitamin c Ending with LED IF facial yellow light Took me a while to get everything on the right order …. I can only say the results are absolutely Amazing 🤩 ❤
I had 1mil cheek filler each side about 2.5 years ago and its still there. I knew something was up! Not complaining cause i saved myself looking like a piece of gym equipment by getting more
Honesty!!!! Thank you SO MUCH for being totally transparent!! If every surgeon had your wonderful morals, women wouldn't suffer from botched jobs!!! It seems money is way more important to them, which goes against the "DO NO HARM" objective!!
Dermal Filler has to be the worst treatment ever in the wrong hands I've experienced bad administration and it migrates and never breaks down and to have it dissolved caused permanent damage to my face 😢
Interesting video. It is important to note that filler can replace lost volume, giving a more youthful appearance in many cases. Obviously, not all and some people should be referred to a highly qualified plastic surgeon. As a cosmetic injector, I fully support aging gracefully and use good skincare, SPF, and retinoids. But those things can not replace lost volume or relax muscles. If you decide to get any injectables PLEASE be sure you are going to someone highly qualified and honest.
I agree with all of that. replace lost volume with filler and relax muscle with botox. but how does correcting jowls possibly work with injectables? Thats my argument, amongst others. thanks for the feedback.
Great video. I've been getting botox around my crows feet for about 14 years. I have it done just twice a year, and I now often get mistaken for being 10 to 15 years younger than my actual age. I have never gone in for the frozen look and can't understand when people think that it makes them look more youthful. I always knew I was prone to squinting and that around the eyes would be where I would age the fastest so I have just focussed on that area. I might have a go at the forehead at some stage but I don't think I'd get more than one area done at a time because I really don't like that overly DONE look, particularly on men. Anyways, great video would luv to see you post one on chin implants (something I have been thinking about for a few years now).
I had Profhilo- waste of money. Didn't notice any difference, I have filler in the eye trough & in my cheekbones. It's subtle but the tear trough filler was the best investment, it took 10 years off my face. Also had HIFU treatment, which was pretty impressive for my neck. I always suggest trying this before the filler Great channel! 👌
Don’t use sculptra it is dangerous as it’s a big gamble how your going to react to the product it can also cause scarring and makes it very hard if you ever want a facelift because of the scarring etc
@@hannahb3854 it is certainly vey variable in its effect and yes, the scarring makes the tissues heavier, but that is kind of the point. An experienced facelift surgeon could work around old sculptra. Thanks for the comment.
Can you tell us about the non-invasive 7d hifu facelift. Can it cause cancer in the long run, is it dangerous damage later term. I would really appreciate it if you would provide us with some information about that. Many thanks in advance. I find your films very reliable and I also like that you inform people about the dangers of the corrupt medical and paramedical industry in this way.
I got fillers under eyes like 3 times (a year apart ) but unfortunately I developed something calls (festonees ) they look like under eye bags but on the cheek. I don’t know if the fillers caused this but it makes me look tired and I don’t know how to fix it. 😥. I mentioned. It to the surgeon that did my fillers and his answer was: “Sometimes this happens but you need more filler because that is not a festoon but is light “ I didn’t know what he meant with that but I run away.
I had filler for the first time; never again. It doesn't look bad, you can hardly tell but I swear my eyes have dark circles now. I originally went for Botox in my left jaw because the left side of my face is fuller than the right. The Botox helped, glad I got it but I regret the filler. I hope it dissolves with no issues. The more I watch videos like this, I get scared.
I had Voluma filler into my cheek bones, just 0.5mls on each side. My bone structure is naturally good however, I wanted filler in that location in order to give my nasolabial folds a lift, it worked perfectly. That was 3 years ago and I still have good results. It's something you really REALLY need to do your homework on. Always see a qualified aesthetic nurse or dr and don't rush into it. I actually asked to have the nasolabial folds injected and was advised by my nurse that it wouldn't give me the desired outcome and could actually look more pronounced. Also had Volume in my nose as the tip is damaged due to an accident and slants downward slightly. no one noticed but I did and it bugged me. OMG! Great result, that was 9 months ago. If I had the money I would get a septoplasty to fix my tip but I am a nurse and get paid peanuts lol. Thanks for a very informative and frank talk about fillers.
Can you talk about the removing process with hyaluronidase. A lot of people have been damaged after removing filler with volume loss, sagginess in the skin and other systemic reactions that doesen’t go away even after months..
With the irritation and granulomas, I’m foreseeing cancers in the future of long-term filler users, but only time will tell Hopefully I’m wrong, but the body doesn’t usually react positively to foreign things (medically induced or bacteria, viruses, etc) and I feel injectable fillers is like playing with fire
I've had tear troughs in 2017 , whilst I has deep hollow trwat troughs that made me look I never slept . The filler gave me a shelf line across my mid cheek area more so when I was dehydrated . I still have 80% filler left and now only have 1 cheek with a shelf line across my cheeks most days . It has given me so much more confidence even though I was over filled but I canot believe I still have it in my face and its been 6 years and so much is left. I had juverderm too .
Wonderful video! Thanks a lot for your honest . I regret deeply to put Ellanse in my face . This is a toxic plastic ! They say that will degrade in 3 years . I suffered so much pain and swallow, burn, acid tears , my face was completely destroyed! Now I am doing radio frequency and some peelings to accelerate the degrade of the PLC . It will go away for real Dr ? Mine will complete 3 years in April and is in my temper . It’s much less then before but still have a place where I can see that have a volume there and when I put my finger I don’t find nothing , is just a swallow i my right brow 😦
Thank you ! My gut feeling has always been that fillers would damage the tissues and possibly stick around. What would you recommend for smokers lines ? I have been tempted to get a thin filler in the mouth area for them . But this video scares me . If one gets fillers , you only recommend 2-3 times and then stop ? I was considering Restylane Refyne . It’s supposed to be a thin and superficial one . I’m 45 and just want a mild improvement. Maybe to look 35 again. Not 20 🤣. I’m subscribed now . Thank you 😊
so any kind of stiffening of the skin is good. laser in all its forms but pixelated is probably the best overall. micro needling or chemical peels also a good option. nothing is long term sadly..
@@adamgoodwinsurgery I had Sculptra with a experienced doctor, I did the recommended protocol afterwards. I immediately got inch size lumps on either side of lower cheek mouth. Wish I had never gotten it done
I have the Tyndall effect after having my marionette’s done 😩 it’s slight and can be covered with make up but yeah, like 2 bruises at each side of my mouth for the next year or so 🙄
I had lip filler done and had some left over the individual doing my filler took it upon herself without my consent or even discussing it at all went ahead and put in under my eyes now I have a protruding obvious lump that stands out under my right eye and it gave me dark rings and bags I did not have ever unfortunately I'm in the United States so coming to see you is out of the question I'm still mad and very upset about this
I was using filler to try to keep my face from sagging. Big mistake. It made my face look odd. I didn't know any better. It would have been nice had the surgeon been honest and told me it wasn't a good idea. I feel like the filler stretched my face out and migrated. It just did not look good. You can't use filler when you really need a facelift.
they all work, but not for as many applications as those who sell them would suggest.. only should be used for very deep applications with good skin and soft tissue cover.
Excellent! Would be nice to see some stuff around the proposed changes in regulation. Scotland have recently made changes but it appears this regulation is only for medics. Great videos 👍🏼
How about Sculptra? Yes I do have lots of scar tissues inside my cheek but it is still better than the gaunt look… But it’s true the lumps make it look not great.
My fillers on lips, and nasolabial lines are always getting inflamed, and it feels very heavy, and paiful. One of them, after root canal treatment poped out under the upper lip, and you can see tge white plastic like tissue through the mucous.
Hi! Thank you so much for this video - I've been considering minor tweaks via filler and this has definitely brought up important points for myself. You mentioned the chin as a decent area for filler use -- does the same apply to using something like Radiasse for the jaw? Im interested in a very, very slight augmentation on one side of my jaw area simply to even out my jawline. Thanks again so much!
filler to the jawline is usually a terrible idea although for fundamental asymmetry its a possible option. just choose your practitioner wisely but if its a permanent change then radiuses is a good option.
Fillers and Botox are not my cup of tea and peoples don’t realized what they putting this stuffs in their body and what type of infections it can introduce . It scary when girls who don’t have enough fats and seek for this for butt injections and they don’t realized what they about to introduce themselves into . I’m not against plastic surgery but I feels like we not advanced enough yet to do any type of procedure that will be perfect the first try and most of the time it end up fixing it and making it worse . Beauty standards is out of control these days and it scary .
New sub. Best info clip i have seen so far. Thanks. Going to send the Botox one to my friend who loves getting Botox. Content on Collagen was very interesting. I'm almost 60 and 18m ago lost 52kg. No longer diabetic...but my face has aged 10+ year's, easy. Cant afford Face lift...fat transfer was the best thing i looked into but again... pretty exspensive and only temporary. Would love your advice on how to stimulate collagen? I do take a collagen supplement and mindful of A, B, C nutrition. Am going to try an extended fast...but that's more for internal health. Any advice welcome.
by the time you Reach your 60s, the senility of your skin proteins will inevitably lead to sagging. you can't replace that. just keep out of the sun and moisturise.
that's such a complicated question but simply speaking, if you want to subtly augment an area of the face temporarily. the lips, cheeks and chin are the best locations.
I’ve been considering filler for the tip of my chin… would it possibly spread under my chin and cause sagging? This fear is why i’ve so far avoided it!
