Today we're doing the second session of a wedding makeover! Hello TLC'ers.
Today we are doing Simone's second session. So Simone is getting married very soon,
and she came in for a pre-wedding makeover. If you remember some time ago
we did her first session where we did some Botox to the forehead, the crow's
feet area, lower face. We also did some fillers as well, mainly for lifting and
sculpting the cheeks and improving the jawline. Well as you know sometimes these
things can take more than one session especially if you're looking to make a
bigger difference. Like if you've got an important event coming up or you just
want to feel damn good. So let's go through what we did for her. If you
remember the first time that we met this patient, some of the areas that we ended
up treating were the cheek area in front of the ear here, The marionette zone, the
chin crease as well and the base of the nose. And often even the second time that
I see somebody, I often end up doing the same thing again because you just can't
get enough volume in the first time. And if we want to see an even bigger
improvement we just hit those areas again basically. So let's go through that.
First thing that we're going to do is lift the cheek a little bit more using
some filler. So here you can see we're using a cannula to get a bit more lift
through the cheek. And now you can see a half and half. So you can
see that one side has been lifted and the other side not so much. So even
though we did a reasonable amount the first time that we met this patient, it
doesn't mean to say that we can't improve even more. The next thing that
we're going to do is some chin filler. Again using a cannula and a little bit
of jawline strengthening, can you see here how we're just going down to
improve the shadowing in the chin and also make the chin and the jawline run
into each other a bit more congruently. Because if you have a sort of a dip a
dip right here it can be a distraction from having a stronger jawline.
It's very easy to do with filler as you can see. And now we're going to have a
look at the angle of the jaw again using a cannula here. These products that were
using, they're all Hyaluronic acid I believe we were using Juvederm Voluma
and Juvederm volift to do this procedure. Okay so now this is the interesting part,
we're going to do the forehead now using a cannula. So not a lot of people know
that it's really important that you have a smooth rounded forehead. And as we get
older, the the bone changes slightly and we can develop a depression in the
forehead and it looks kind of like a concavity there. But it looks much more
natural looking and youthful looking if we have a smooth forehead instead of it
having sort of this divot in the centre of it. So we are going to do that right
now for our patient using a cannula. It's a bit tricky doing filler here because
there's not much space you know, there's not much space between the skin and the
bone here so it's quite a tight space. It doesn't really hurt because there's lidocaine
within the product as you can see. It does make quite a big
difference and it changes the way that the light reflects from the forehead,
just giving her sort of this internal glow which is quite nice. Because we
haven't had enough of cheek filler, I'm gonna come back down now and do some
more cheek filler. This time we're looking at the front part of the cheek
to give a bit more projection through here and again that's done with a
cannula. You've probably noticed that I use cannula quite a lot and that's just
because if I'm doing a large area like this it minimizes the number of
injection points that a person needs to have.
So it means she'll be much more able to go out easily afterwards without looking
like she's just had something done basically. And from this front part of
the cheek we're now gonna sculpt the cheek itself so going from the front
sort of to the lateral cheek there again using a cannula. So let's just have a
look at her side by side now. So we've got a picture of her before she had
anything done, and at the end of this session now so you can see that we've
got a lovely improvement in the way that the light is bouncing off the forehead.
Here we don't have those lines across the forehead that we used to have and
she just looks a little bit more rested. You can also see that the darkness
underneath the eye has improved and that's because we've got a bit of lift
going on. Here this whole cheek unit here just looks like the light is hitting it
in a more attractive way and we've got a little bit of shadowing underneath here.
Because obviously you can't have light without shadow, very important but if you
compare the two sides you can see here on her before picture, she just have a
bit of a cheek contour. But she has it here. Often people will say, if I get my
cheeks down or if I get filler put in my face am I going to lose my cheekbones
because as they get older they lose fat from this part of the face and
oftentimes people can like it but as you can see even though we've got rid of
this depression here. It's still there to an extent and it just looks a lot more
youthful and softer afterwards. So moving on down to the chin, you can see that
we've improved this area where she's got quite a bit of shadowing there in the
before picture, and just everything looks a lot more luminous. She's got a glow to
the skin. So the next thing that we're going to do is the lip using a needle. So
first of all, I'm using a needle to elevate the corner of the lip and turn
it up slightly. You can see that here now unfortunately
as some of you are aware when you have lip injections done, sometimes people
swell up quite a bit afterwards and the amount of swelling that you get can be
quite variable. So some people swell a lot other people hardly have any
swelling at all. Unfortunately I myself am in the
category were i swell an awful lot, and so is our patient here. So you can see
that after she's had her lip injections done, her lips look really really swollen.
They are not going to stay like that. I cannot emphasise this enough. They are
not going to stay like that. That's just a temporary thing because we've only
just done the procedure and we haven't seen her yet for her after shots. So just
one more time, her lips are not going to stay like this I'm just showing you so
you can see how it looks sometimes when you have lip injections done. Next we're
going to do some treatment in the neck. So you know when you start to get those
kind of necklace lines, the really fine lines all the way around the neck we're
going to use something called Juvederm volight and use those to just improve the
quality of the skin there and help to reduce those necklace lines. And the last
thing that we're going to do is a little bit of Aqualyx. Which is a fat
dissolving injection underneath the chin so looks a little bit grim there's a lot
of swelling after you have Aqualyx done. Aqualyx is kind of like kybella. It's
the same active ingredient but we don't have kybella approved for use yet over
here in the UK so we still use Aqualyx. The swelling will last for around maybe
around three days. You'll feel like you have a big tennis ball underneath here
which sounds awful but you know you only see it if you're looking at someone from
the side. That's a joke by the way, and then after around a week you
probably look presentable. It takes around three weeks for most of the
swelling to go, but once it's gone that fat doesn't come back. Sometimes you need
to have more than one session of Aqualyx depending on the sort of result
that it is that you're looking to get, So as I said we haven't seen this patient
again after her lip injections or Aqualyx injections were done so I can't
show you her final final final after pictures yet but I think she's looking
pretty good so far so when we get her back in I'll definitely pop up another
video about that and you can see her progress. Okay guys so that's all we've
got time for this week if you like what you see or if you've got any questions
