I’m planning on getting some non invasive procedures done in a few months, but I like to watch these videos as a cautionary tale, or an example of what NOT to get done so I don’t go overboard or look unnatural. I’m probably just going to do microbotox and laser treatments
I've been thinking about it even though I have a sort of full upper lip. After hearing horror stories about how they can cause blindness (possibly), or misshapen lips, etc. So I love listening to this doctor. I just hate the makeup artists who already have big lips to teach how to look like your lips are bigger with makeup.
@@aaliyahx5081 Her's aren't overfilled. I, personally, cant say she does or doesn't have fillers as I am not a professional. However in passing speculation, I can say that if she keeps it to a minimum they wont make her look aged. Beyoncé has had fillers (again, in passing and not saying as some kinda professional) and hers aged great because she keeps it beautifully simple which helps with how the fillers age.
Dentists can take a weekend course and get certified. It becomes a lucrative side business. These types of procedures should be limited certified plastic surgeons.
i feel like kylie jenner got so much filler at a young age, and in her photoshopped photos she looks okay.. but when she starts talking she looks scary. her mouth is so uneven and her face doesn't move.
i can't remember where i saw this or read this... but there's a theory that she got botched. not in a dramatic way or anything. just that a muscle somewhere around her lips got paralyzed that's why her lips don't move in a natural manner.
@@TheTinaBelcher really? i never thought about that. That sucks. I know lip piercings can paralyze a lip.. but I never thought fillers could, thats scary.
I have SUPER thin lips and never really minded them until this whole big lip trend became a thing. I can't tell you how many times I've thought about getting lip fillers (or how many people have, rudely, told me that I should get it), but this video made me glad that I haven't, so thank you!
When I was a kid, having thin lips was the norm.. All celebrities had thin lips and all my friends covered their lips with concealer so they were basically invisible. I spent my whole childhood wishing I had thin lips.. Its crazy how trends change
I remember in middle school being made fun of me for having full lips now they’re paying top dollar for this surgery. Lesson: don’t change yourself for anyone.
Growing up I got made fun of for having "big" lips. But now, I get made fun of for having "no lips" because my natural lips look thin compared to the filled lips that have become the norm. Can't win.
This. My grandmom messed up her body because back in her time it was fashion to have thin eyebrows and teeth made of gold. She ended up having no eyebrows and half of her teeth removed and replaced with fake ones in her 20's - 30's. Tanning is also damaging as hell too, white americans discriminate people with natural dark skin but then they severely tan and damage their skin permanently to look darker, and they end up looking 60 in their 40's.
Humans are really good at recognizing other humans. Thats why it looks so weird when people modify their faces, our instinctual facial recognition can detect its not normal. Same with photoshop.
Besides Kylie and Kim (although i confuse them with eachother sometimes) i never can tell who their sister's are. Remember that photo of that one sister they tried to erase from the internet? You could show me that and i wouldn't have known who that is. I find random Instagram models being a bit tan, having straight hair and makeup doing adverts and think that there's 50% chance that is a K or a J. And apparently many people confuse them on being black, someone actually thought Kylie was black (she ain't)
@@cathl4953 they have destroyed so many womens perception of normal, healthy and/or beautiful. They have set these unattainable beauty standards. I would NVER by their makeup or waist trainers, corsets, diet teas and the rest of the shit they sell and promote. I considered them just like any other celebrities until Kylie completely morphed her entire face and body at 18. Even her mom sets such a bad exapmle to women everywhere. l just feel sorry for all their clones out there... I hope they can find inner peace and self love and that none of them die on the plastic surgeons table. Not to mentiom they are total Culture Vultures.
Could you talk about same face syndrome? (aka Instagram models/influencers all looking the same) I think it's really interesting how their natural features are ignored and their faces are overfilled too all look the same. Some end up looking extremely strange without makeup/filters and editing like facetune.
Lmao I can’t believe you applied it to celebrities. I thought is was just a thing artists go through. Like when we draw faces that all look the same. :/
what drives me crazy to see is when someone has had their lips overfilled and then they still over draw their lip liner making them look so silly/ clown like.
Totally agree. I honestly don't get that. very strange. I had one lot of lip filler 6 months back, and I usually line before lipstick, but have to be careful to not go way over lip edge, cos I look ... ridiculously instagram if not careful.
Overfilling is the embarrassment of the decade. No way people won’t be looking back on these times going “OMG what were we thinking?” It’s disturbing. I don’t make fun of people when I see it either, I feel terrible for them, it is rooted in a deep misunderstanding of where their value comes from.
@Nicole Emptage I mean isn’t it though? We have a problem in our society of making young people, both men and women, feel like if they don’t look a certain way then they won’t be accepted. As social animals being accepted is a very big deal for us humans, so we easily fall victim to this stuff. Then you get obsessive exercisers, eating disorders, and overdone cosmetic surgeries/fillers. We need to normalize just looking how you were born.
@@morganmiller6373 I'm not gonna lie, I feel a bit self conscious for having naturally fuller lips. Mine are a little bit bigger than Kylie's with fillers and I feel really awkward about it sometimes. Like people say, it's just a trend so I feel like people are going to look at me and be like ''Wow you missed the trend'' or judge me for thinking I had work done. I look really pouty and stuck up sometimes and I hate it. I know it's one of those things where it's like 'you should be grateful for what you have' but it's really crazy how you can want something so badly yet the people who actually have it don't want it.
I've had a little filler in the lips for years. With aging the upper lip was starting to disappear and I wanted just enough to keep my lip. I wanted a touch up and more volume (before quarantine) and I went into my plastic surgeon. He said "NO WAY! Your lips are perfect proportion, I'M NOT TOUCHING THEM!" He sure told me, lol. I love that he tells me "NO" and I respect him more for it. It's easy to think we need more of something or something different but that doesn't mean it's a smart thing to do. After all, we are our own worst critics.
That’s awesome that he layed down the line like that! There’s a lot of crooked surgeons out there who will perform unnecessary work just for the money. I bet you look super beautiful without the fillers. It’s so easy to be overly critical of ourselves and take our best features for granted. Like recently I was complaining to my friend about wanting a nose job, and she was like “no way, your nose is so cute and tiny!” I had no idea that others saw my nose like that! I was just always so critical about it that I saw it like this huge honkin nose on my face. The more I looked I realized my nose is actually pretty good and I actually like it a lot. I had created a problem where there wasn’t one. I’m glad I realized that before dropping a few grand on a surgery. Anyways, I hope you have a good day, stay safe out there
Its awesome to see a doctor with integrity. I was about 45, when for the first time i decided I needed something, like botox for my eyes. So here I am, he looks at me and asked me to move my face, then tells me, sorry there's nothing I can do for you😳! You don't need botox and there's no place to put it, you have no wrinkles. He even refunded me the consultation fee 😳! Actually what I needed was undereye filler to remove the dark circles, so finally I did it when I turned 50 and it was the best thing I could have done.
@Rick and Morty oh, okay, sorry. I thought for a second you were making a hateful remark. I notice with aging the upper lip recedes. I have a friend who practically doesn't have an upper lip anymore and that was starting to happen with me so that's why a got a little filler. I've seen too many women take it too far though. And especially Hollywood.
Dani H exactly I only know 2 people who looks good with them personally and they’ve got them sp natural that I didn’t even notice them. These celebrities look like if bratz dolls had botched surgeries yikes. You’d think people would tell them
I honestly think lip fillers only look good if a good majority of people of the same ethnicity has you have bigger lips naturally. because then it suits your features. everyone else literally looks like they got punched in the lip
These “professionals” need to tell their clients when too much is too much! Just like anything else, modifying can be addicting and you can see yourself differently than the way a common person would.
Professional _(adj.)_ - engaged in a specified activity as one's main paid occupation Its perfectly customary for a professional to prioritize profit over the well-being of people, as long as they don't take it far enough to jeopardize their income, that's just capitalism
I believe that doctors would warn their patient the possible consequences before having the operation done. Just watching on how people are so desperate in making themselves look 'beautiful'or 'trendy' it is no surprise that despite these warnings they would still insist in having it done, that is why when I see butchered faces especially from celebrities I would not blame the doctors for it. As a celebrity, I am pretty sure that they have access to the most expensive and most known surgeons out there yet they still have their face butchered.
Lip fillers are so overrated. 90% of the people I know or see who have them their natural lips looked much better. I don't know why this trend started in the first place.
@@queerlibtardhippie9357 Kylie Jenner lol? Not everyone who gets their lips inflated is 20 years old. It's pretty ignorant to think that all these 50 year old Real Housewives types are following Bimbo Jenner lol.
@@salan3507 Did I say any of that? Do you think Kylie Jenner only influences 20 year olds? People see things get popular and then they do it and it continues to spread. That's how the world works.
Sometimes naturally thin lips suits the persons face. Often when they get so much lip filler, they constantly have to apply chapstick or routinely lick their lips (like Jeffree Starr). The moist part of the inside lip is now exposed to the air. Or the worst is fake white veneers with overfilled lips. Lol
doesnt even have to be veneers, in america it is popular to whiten their teeth to the extreme, to me american celebrity and "influencer" teeth look blue! it looks so scary
So true! Every part of the face is connected. Your lips aren't just hovering over your face, they affect everything, and sometimes the rest of the face is just not suited for big lips. I have big lips, but the bottom half of my face protrudes a bit in a natural "pout" in order to accommodate for them. If you have thin lips, you probably have a cute, pointy, smaller bottom half of your face. Embrace it!
Contracting lips lead to nasty lip lines and that ages the fast faster then ANY other wrinkles you can have. Nasty lip lines destroy the face, make it look collapsed and decrepit. Ied rather have a woman with overfilled lips then some old withered hag with lines all over her lips that look like escaping daddy long legs crawling out.
@@jordanjay5143 firstly no one gives a shit about what kind of woman you'd rather have, apply the standard you have on her to yourself tho. Secondly, what you said made absolutely no sense. Actually women with lip filler actually experience aging/sagging as the lip filler stretches the skin and then migrates.
@@jordanjay5143 Are you 15 or something? Have you never seen real women? They don't have fucking "withered hag lines" all over their lips if they don't have filler.
Shahad isnt it mostly weight gain? (Not to sound rude, couldn't think of a better way to put it tbh). Or is it mostly fillers, if it is I don't know why she would do that, weight gain I get (and isn't a bad thing of course), but to fill it that much would be odd, no?
So sick of people saying the same thing about JH. She suffers from water retention due to alcoholism. Alcohol consumption in excess dehydrates the body causing it to hold on to water and cause the puffy face. Yes she has had botox and fillers but you CANNOT inject filler directly into the centre of the cheeks - it is too vascular and NO aesthetic practitioners would do that. If it was filler do you not think Jaclyn would get it dissolved? I’m so sick of people making insulting comments about Jaclyn’s face as a weapon to try and deter people from getting botox and fillers.
Sherilyn sorry but filler spreads. There’s evidence that suggests filler does not actually disappear like was originally thought but actually spreads and lasts up to decades. That’s why people get “filler face”. It’s also possible that the dissolver used can also dissolve your natural face fat and collagen.
before the kardashians no one gave a crap about lip thickness, some people seem to be too easy to influence :/ and no shame to those getting cosmetic treatments, but I feel like the desire to get it is coming from the wrong place Great video! I suscribe c:
@@thegoods7011 no i think they’re probably ages 14-18 if they see it that way. because having big lips didn’t come to light until around middle school (for those ages) bc it didn’t matter in elementary school. and it largely depends on area and access to internet for them to think it was the kardashians. lots of factors, so there’s no need to be rude. (saying someone is under the age of 10 can be taken as rude, btw)
@@molsondutch93 ikr? her lips look double the size, her face structure looks all weird, her nose is half the size it used to be. and she was already so pretty without it?
Tbh I didn't mind the lips when she first started with fillers because it looked proportional (and I lowkey want lip fillers but I will wait until I've started to age). I think she's beautiful then and now but it's sad to see how much she has changed her face, whether using makeup or fillers
Yep. Especially those equal sized fish lips. Like... what is that? I can understand your lips being legitimately thin and u just want like 2cm of puff. But some people go to fucking INCHES
I had lip filler done about 1 year ago after having essentially no lips my entire life--my goal was to make them symmetric and also to increase the size to balance out my face. I had a fantastic doctor--he told me that I probably would never have to fill them again, and 1 year later, my lips still look natural and fantastic. They are still small, but that was my goal. I didn't want to change how I looked--I wanted to balance out my face and feel more confident. I am so glad I had a doctor who wanted the best for me. That is so important. Prior to watching your videos I assumed my doctor just thought the filler would stimulate natural collagen production, or stretch out my lips enough to maintain a larger/symmetric appearance, but now I wonder if he just knows, like you, that lip filler lasts much much longer than we typically believe! Thanks so much for your informative videos :)
@@WyntrBry A fully symmetrical beautiful face is boring and bland and will not hold the minds attention.. It is those little asymmetric features on a beautiful face that keeps a minds attention and stops a person's face become boring and bland/stale. That is a veritable fact.
@@BrodyLuv2 yes, who want to look as a dead doll clown? If a face is symmetric it has no personality, and does not look so much alive or charming. When it' s not symmetric it is more special, unique and interesting. The most beautiful ppl I' v meet had not been symmetric in there face. Sad horrible trends this days...
Kylie for example has SO MUCH filler and she looks old for her age. If you do it in a conservative way it looks natural. All these girls go overboard and they look 42 when they're only 25.
Kyle had weak, thin lips that didn't look good on her. After her first treatment she looked great, but she just kept going back for more... more and more and more. Now she looks lumpy and unnatural. Lumpy like silly putty. Lumpy like play dough. Just distorted and grotesque.
To be a devil's advocate here though, if lip filler looks natural you wont register it as lip filler, you register it as just "their lips" I don't like this trend either, but like most plastic surgeries, our opinions are skewed because the good outcomes fly under the radar under 'natural beauty' while the bad outcomes are in our face and obvious.
@@jadecoolness101 I understand what you're saying but the reason you (or at least I) can usually tell is because natural lips are typically more relaxed and softer looking. When they have any kind of filler, even if it doesn't plump them up a lot, they don't look as supple. My mom used to work for a well known plastic surgeon in the area. She's had her lips filled too, ever so slightly but I can still tell, though her husband can't. When people get filler in their face and it's done well, I am unable to tell. It's only with the lips, but I am admittedly a mouth person and when people talk I watch their lips.
I once saw some youtuber (can't remember who) go get lip filler for the first time and she asked for just a little bit and the practitioner said "that's what everyone says but eventually they want more so let's put more than just a little bit" and then she injected the 1ml in her lips. That was the moment that ensured that I would never trust anyone injecting anything in my face. She straight-up said she wanted A LITTLE BIT and she came out with the classic nasty-looking lips that look like they're sore and about to burst.
I said i wanted 0,5 ml 3 years ago. The woman insisted to put 1 ml. I am a petite girl with small round features (4'11"), 0,5 ml was still too much. By chance I never accepted the 1 ml 🙄🙄She said I may need to refresh it 6 months later. I never came back and after 1,5 year I still add the Revanesse Kiss filler.
You're not. My lips are fairly small and I would *never* get fillers. These fake ass bitches look like fish lol, I don't understand how anyone could think that it's attractive.
@@lucy9698 they're the ones that go around insulting thin lips, going and saying that bitches with big lips are fake is just... not productive. But go off queen
You strike me as a doctor who would help a patient look good in their own face rather than give them someone else’s face. If i ever wanted any procedures done I would definitely go to you.
ikr every instagram model looks the exact same. there are times I can't even tell between different models. Bella, Kendall, Kylie, Stassie are all starting to look like copies of the one prototype Kim
I wish all these young girls would realize that getting way over done lip filler is ONLY CAUSING PREMATURE AGING AROUND THE MOUTH.! The lips get inflated & once it goes away or migrates other places = you left with sagging lips.! Then if you get them reinjected every 6months ~ you will need surgery to have a lip lift.😭😢 so not only does it look super unnatural and ugly ~ it’s also causing premature aging on the skin😢
No evidence that there will be premature aging around the lips. The paradigm shift I am suggesting in research, is to manage filler properly with cycles of dissolving.
Dr Master Im not talking about natural or minimal filler in the lips. I’m talking about these girls, that get so much their lips look they’re about to explode. It stretches the skin extremely & then when the filler migrates or goes away = your left with sagging lips & horrid frown lines. I have a gf that gets her lips way over done (the past 4yrs religiouly she get them done every 6months) & she has had to have a lip lift surgery. I also seen this on botched. Dr Nasif specifically said that over a prolonged amount of time when your getting your lips over done ~ it’s only going to end up sagging your mouth or causing you to need a actual lip lift surgery. My girl friend literally has so much filler in her lips that she no longer has natural lines on her lips & they looks super shiny from how much stretching has Occurred. I think women look more gorgeous without lip injections. (or if they only get them done minimal/natural.) Even if I had super thin lips = I still wouldn’t get it done even if it was offered free. ijs🤷🏼♀️ I think natural beauty is the best. I can totally understand getting Botox or even filler in cheeks if your face is sunken in. But swollen hot dog lips ~ just isn’t cute AT ALL.!
Kitty R When I said this I’m not talking about natural looking lip filler. I’m talking about the girls that get it so over done the lips look super unnatural & like two swollen hot dogs for lips, which totally stretches them out.. I have a great gf that gets her lips done the past 4years, but she gets them Pumped way to full. So much so, that her plastic surgeon actually had to do a lip lift surgery on her. I also seen this on botched and Dr. Nasif explained the younger you start getting lip injections (Only if your getting them WAY overdone) = you could need a lip lift in the future from your lips being so heavy & gravity pulling down the lips since Theyr way heavier. Which causes them to start sagging. Once the filler migrates or fades away, your now left with sagging lips. So you either get more filler injected or try to combat it with filler around mouth.
omg the fact that he used iluvsarahii as an example of how good your lips can look without filler after. yesss!!!! she used to have that same mindset with filler and then I think she snapped out of her facial dsymorphia and started to like her face how it is. she looks amazing now.
I’m a practitioner and there is NO WAY I would compromise my ethics and standards. My role is to enhance not to change... anyone coming for a huge change has a head problem not a lip problem and I am not qualified to deal with their Psychological issues. I’m sure they will get it done elsewhere, but my 36yrs as a nurse is very precious to me and those I treat !!
I can't help but wonder how booked up you are when quarantine ends. I wish I could come to you for fillers/botox...you're the only doctor I trust!!!!!!
Love well that’s bold to assume. Not everyone got impacted on the same level. For some it just gives us more time to spend online and get more insecure and less things to distract us from that. Don’t underestimate how much those things take up some people’s lives. Again to each their own and people should be allowed to do with their bodies as they please
Love obviously I mean as long as you are not harming yourself or anybody else then do whatever you want. That’s not reckless and as you said if people want to experiment then more power to them. I was kinda just trying to say that some people really feel like they need to because they feel burdened by insecurities and it’s not just about experimenting for them, but I’m so glad you feel confident within yourself and I think it just takes some people a bit longer or a different approach to reach that
I wish everyone would watch this. My beautiful, perfect baby sisters are getting it, and they're so young - I'm so worried about the long term consequences.Thank you for this calm and patient video - it's very much needed right now.
This over filled lip trend is like the over plucking of the eyebrows trend in the 90s. And now we are all hunting for brow products to give us back what we used to have. It’s amazing how effective these trends are on so many of us! I’m definitely ready to see lips getting back to normal!
I always had natural, full eyebrows when I was young. As I became older and my face lost the baby fat they looked too harsh for my finer face structure. Ever since I thinned them out in a beautiful, natural shape my face looks fresher and my eyes look more amazing. I was always against that fake cater pillar eyebrow look.
When I was younger, I was always unhappy with how small my lips were, how too big my nose was and how small my chin was. I contemplated many times completely changing my face. But now that I'm in my 30's I'm so glad I never had the money to go through with it. I love my face the way it is. This doesn't mean I judge those that do want change, but I'm so glad I got a chance to learn to love myself unchanged. Now that I'm older I look to cosmetic medicine for other things, like I have some painful varicose veins I want to have treated, etc, but I'm content with how I look :) And I super appreciate a doctor who is honest about the side effects and changes you undertake if you have a procedure.
I am 40, i have thin lips and i never wanted fillers. I'm so glad that i didn't jump on this bandwagon. I look natural and many of my friends of the same age look weird and puffy.
Happy I read that 😆 I have thin lips and always wanted lip fillers, from a very young age. Soon 30 and still didn’t get them done. I was worried about the chemicals in the fillers but didn’t think that it would disfigure my lips 😂 now I know for sure that I’m not getting them done
You’re such an Amazing physician. You set the standard for a medical practice. I wish you could set the standard in the world of dating 😂 being single I feel the constant pressure to keep doing something to try to be pretty and not be looked upon as old.
I’m a native of Los Angeles. Born and raised-58 years. I was an inner city teacher until health problems then cancer and an arthritic spine forced me out. I think it’s so sad that the obsession with appearance has gotten worse since the advent of the internet. Young women putting fillers and toxins in their faces. We should be developing our intellects and our hearts not obsessing over line on our faces. Aging is inevitable. I see a lot of women with stretched, filled faces and elderly veiny, swollen hands. It looks freakish. What happened to looking outward and trying to make the world a better place instead of staring into the mirror and trying to stop the aging process. I am so glad I came of age in a kinder, gentler less narcissistic time.
actually I think we just need to destroy these beauty standards and love ourselves the way we are, without getting plastic surgeries and fillers and stuff
100%!!! As others have pointed out, this desire to have big lips is a very recent trend as I remember the beauty icons of my adolescence (mid to late 2000s) having thin lips, flat butts, and slender frames- none of which are the ideal look now. Beauty standards are always fluctuating and they are always bullshit. I feel like a lot of progressive-leaning people have become huge defenders of plastic surgery in recent years as a direct response to the misogynist backlash which female celebrities have received in the past for having had work done. Though I agree that people shouldn't be shamed for having cosmetic surgery, I also think it's a huge step backwards for it to be accepted uncritically en masse.
@@hollyhobgoblin8838 It is a symptom of a much larger problem. Going off on someone online for getting her lips filled does fuck all to address the structural problems that exist beyond any one person. What you see as accepting something uncritically is actually people knowing not to waste their time.
This is so useful as I want to ‘open’ my lips because I have fairly good sized lips but some of the area is hidden and been wondering what 1ml looks like. Never am I getting that much! Filler Mustashe isn’t sexy..
Dr. Chan, I have EVERY Dr. And Nurse injector following you for MANY reasons but the main one being injectables don’t dissipate. That was a part of a convo with several of my Doctors and there was quite a discussion. It was like pulling a loose thread on a sweater....... Needless to say, I understand a couple have been in discussion with you directly and I can’t thank you enough for all of your input and sharing of your personal experience and daily discoveries including findings in fillers and MRI’s and how fillers migrate vs dissipate. You have some very bright PS really giving reps and companies some hard questions that have put companies on the spot. Who isn’t important at this point but I’m confident you’re aware. Regardless, I’m so glad I found you and have been able to spread your name around to the important Docs that, while older, need to have a wake up on what is and isn’t appropriate as well as what and where we are going with fillers. Thank and don’t stop being you! Hope everyone is safe and healthy. I’m in ICU at this time and it been a challenge. Take care and stay healthy.
@@goodiegoodygumdrops the thing is not everyone are doing it because they're following others. I for example have asymmetric lips to the level where i need to change how i draw my lips, for such case lip filler is good solution.
99% of them look soooo bad like people who think Kylie lips ain't bad have only seen her on her photoshopped full face makeup ig account. The 1% who do look decent is because they already had nice full lips and get the tiniest bit of filler like Cindy Kimberly.
*There are quite a few cases of patients on RealSelf complaining that hyaluronidase has also dissolved their natural tissue surrounding the filler, leaving them with misshapen and/or even smaller lips than before. Some cases even show volume loss in OTHER parts of the face from where the enzyme was injected (for instance, volume loss at the temple and cheek even though the enzyme was injected only into the lips). Have you heard of this before? Would you be willing to talk about it?* The patients report that this natural volume loss became apparent within the first day or two after the enzyme injections, so it wouldn't be related to natural aging over time. The volume loss is very apparent from before/after photos. Also, some of these patients did long term updates and the volume never returned -- their natural volume loss is permanent. It seems to me that there are many more things we don't yet know about filler AND hyaluronidase... Much more research needs to be done. I have been wanting lip fillers since I was very young due to the shape of my mouth, but since recognizing that natural facial tissue volume loss is something that some patients are experiencing, I have been hesitant to do so because I would want to be confident in the safety of hyaluronidase in case I wanted to dissolve any lumps/bumps of filler. Is this really something I should be concerned about or could these cases be caused by something else? Am I just better off not touching filler at all due to all of the potential issues with BOTH the filler and the dissolving enzyme?
vegan queen I think it's because a lot of hyluronadaise is used when removing a lot of filler to make sure it's all removed (150 units in one sitting). Hyluronidase I believe if done in small doses like (20-30 units) over a period of time would be better and would prevent dissolving your natural tissue.
Hyaluronidase can absolutely dissolve your own natural volume as well as the filler. Speaking from experience. I had a filler mishap, needed to get it dissolved, and the hyaluronidase ended up eating through my own natural volume as well as the products, leaving me looking sunken and older. It was truly very distressing to experience. Months later, I changed dermatologist and had the areas the hyaluronidase damaged balanced out with more filler. The end result ended up being fantastic, due greatly in part to the new doctor having a fantastic eye for aesthetics and a wealth of experience. Granted, hyaluronidase doesn’t do this to everyone, but it write this to let you know that it certainly can. The best thing to do is to choose the best doctor you can possibly find, research his work and see if you like it. Personally I think the European dermatologists are better as they tend to go for a more natural look.
@@XxPaulyxx none of the cases I've seen have had a large amount of filler to dissolve and the amount of hyaluronidase used has seemed relative to that. it makes me think that it really depends on the person and how susceptible their own tissues are to the effects of hyaluronidase
@@PiersJHA Thank you for sharing your experience. May I ask where the filler that you had dissolved was placed and which areas you saw volume loss in? Just curious how much it spread. It's crazy that this isn't spoken about more often -- injectors talk about hyaluronidase like it's the safest solution in the world and I didn't find out about this potential side effect until after I did some major digging in my research. This should really be more common knowledge. I agree that I really prefer the look of injectable work done by European doctors, but I live in the States so it's hard to justify the travel time and cost haha. I suppose your face is not something you should do at a discount though... I lost a very large amount of weight within an extremely short period of time and this caused me to have some volume loss in my face that I dislike even though I am quite young. I would certainly never want to risk even more volume loss at a young age, so I am wondering if I should skip fillers altogether to avoid the risk of having to use hyaluronidase later.
I just got lip filler for the first time and my lips are already medium size but i wanted slightly more fullness, and specifically around the upper border I wanted definition that I've lost with age. (I'm 39 btw.) So i only wanted a little bit and had the nurse do .5 ml in total. I absolutely love the results. Very natural and not something even people that know me would notice. My suggestion is that you just find someone who does injections all the time and has lots of experience. And maybe have an idea of where you want the filler placed and relay that to whoever is going to do it. A little in the middle bottom lip and a little along the vermillion border of the upper lip i think looks the most natural (specifically toward the center by the cupids bow). But the other thing is to start with very little. This way hopefully you wont need to even worry about getting anything dissolved. And if you do get it dont freak out when its done because your lips will look quite a bit bigger than they will due to swelling when you leave. But it does go down and im really loving my natural results.
Overfilling will result in "pillow faces" in the long term where the person's face looks like....a rumpled pillow. Like some gooey putty found it's way under their skin.
Indeed this is becoming more apparent. My publication with Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery America on this has been accepted and will be available soon. More studies are required!
Extremely interesting. Thanks you. I’ve always thought ppl who’ve done filler consistently, seem to start to look weird after a while. You can’t put ur finger on it, but it just looks odd.
Idk why people feel the need to comform to society's standard of beauty when it changes all the time. I have very full lips naturally and I was teased relentlessly for my lips as teenager that now people get fillers and injections for. 🙄
Although I did not search for this video, the way you spoke and the visuals has gotten me to learn about something didnt know existed. Very informative.
Yeah I got .5 ml in my lips and that was plenty. Was very happy with the result. No one would even be able to tell i had it done, but my lips looked slightly fuller and better. I love them.
I knew someday I would be glad I held off on getting filler! This is so helpful, I didn’t even notice the filler traveling up people’s face after time but if you look at certain celebrities you can totally tell that is why their mouth area looks so puffy. Especially on the girl you showed in this video at the end.
Haha NGL I still do that. I have big puffy, Italian lips lol and it’s not that I don’t like them but I put a bit of concealer around the edges and underline my lips a tiny bit just so they don’t overtake my face.
I appreciate the honesty about fillers on this channel. I was told by my practitioner that filler in my cheeks would be a solution to my minor jowls. I’m so glad I chose to do some research on fillers first and found this channel! Can you provide advice on what options there are for jowls (e.g. Ultherapy, Kybella)? [I realize this video is about lip fillers and my practitioner was referring to filler in my cheeks, but other videos on this channel suggest that fillers in the cheeks might be overdone too.]
Nowadays is really rare to find a Honest Doctor like this gentleman in this video 👏Most of Doctors, Nurses, Beauticians, Dentists that do Injections with Dermal Fillers/Botox always used way more than 1 ml because, they want our 💸💰, they don't care!!! Thanks for the Honest Video.
I love this video. People with over filled lips are called “lip cripples”. Applies to patients who are so over filled- their lips dominate their face. It’s all you see. So bad they need to be “de-bulked” to get immediate correction. I’m consistently baffled by the clinicians who continue to do this for patients who really need to have a conversation about augmentation addiction.
People: "I am not going to get the vaccine, because I don’t want to put anything in my body that I don’t know exactly about" Also people: fillers yeet yeet
Except fillers are FDA approved and have hundreds of rigorous clinical trials. Each one usually takes 10 or more years of studies to make the US market. Hyaluronic Acid has thousands of studies for other uses as well. HA fillers are reversible. There are no human trials for coronavirus injections. Also no studies on the successful reversal of those CV injection related spike proteins.
@@vandyke2025 difference is ...its known that smoking can killing you.... people who smoke are making an informed decision...... these vaccines have been promoted as safe and effective.... when they have no way of knowing that and have quelled any research, scientists and doctors who disagree..... therein lies the difference.... INFORMED CONSENT
It's Blackness they're obsessed with. The Kardashians are aping Black women; Instagram influencers are aping Black women; everyone wants to look like a Black woman. They'll spray on brown skin and overdraw and overfill their lips to chase the standards Black women set and innovate. Blackface as beauty standard. But nobody wants to actually be a Black woman and get murdered by cops in the streets.
@@youraftermyrobotbee Lmao they trynna be women of colour and sad thing is the standards set by black people just aren't appreciated on them but when it's on a white girls it's appreciated wayy more🤦♀️
@@reegankay9799 in highschool I remember people saying thick lips are dick sucking lips. It wasn't a compliment. Or flappy bird lips. But people also talked shit about thin lips like "no upper lip" type jokes.
I'm 70. I've never filled anything. The only thing I would consider, and still probably not do, is filling the temple area. My eyebrow tails are disappearing behind the orbital bone.
Is it true that hyaluronidase dissolves/“deteriorates” the natural tissue / HA you have in your face along with the filler? I want to get mine dissolved as it has spread but I’m worried about the natural HA I have produced.
I would love to know that as well. I’ve read so many horror stories about people dissolving their tear trough filler just to end up with more hollowness than before the treatment..
Mainly CARAT and ONCE since our skin contains hyaluronic acid naturally, it is only natural for hyaluronidase ferment to also dissolve it in the skin, not just filler
“Dissolve” means to break the chains that hold these hyaluronic molecules & then the body will quickly absorb them. Your own natural hyaluronic acid will not he dissolved as hyaluronidase is not designed to do that. Our body naturally produces hyaluronic acids that replenish themselves. What makes filler durable is the chains that hold these hyaluronic molecules together and make them last and work to attract fluids that ‘volumise’. So dissolving the chains doesn’t dissolve our naturally existing hyaluronic acids
Playful Raindrops If you don’t believe me, check with a plastic surgeon or anyone knowledgeable. It does dissolve your own HA, seen it happen not once and not twice. Don’t disinform the folk here.
I've never thought about getting any fillers or surgery but I'm very interested in all of it! Also no judgement for anyone who does. Such an informative channel.
I got lip filler for the first time last year November, and I must say I LOVE it. I have a full bottom lip, and I had a non-existing upper lip. It is something that has always bothered me and I'm happy I had it done, I'm very happy with the way it looks, and I hope it stays for a while, so hearing that filler can last up to 2 years is great news.
What about filler spreading in the nose? Is there a way to inject hyoluronidase into the sides of the nose without affecting the filler still in the tip?
I love how most of these comments are rooting for the natural look & shaking their head at trends like these! May we never forget how naturally beautiful we are - no matter what trend comes in & out of style!💙
