So there's a little kickback against fillers right now,
and it's not just everyday.
People scared to look a natural in front of their friends or scared that
their friends might know they had something done or think they're vain.
It's actually the stars.
And it's, what's trending on social media is what ends up happening in real life.
Social media is powerful.
Take Ricky Martin.
Recently, he was on an interview.
He looked bloated and a lot of people say.
Doctor did that to him ever and starts to blame the doctors, many people inject
themselves, but he was quick to come out and say, he didn't get fillers.
He didn't have Botox.
He showed his movement.
He even touched his face, moved it around to show that it was natural.
I did a complete video on it a few days ago.
I said the same thing.
It wasn't fillers or toxin take Courtney Cox.
We did a video on her.
She said she dissolved all of her.
It's getting real and owning up to getting it too many fillers.
Come on.
The actress speaks out about her experience, getting plumped up in
the current issue of new beauty magazine admitting quote, you have
no idea because it's gradual until you go, oh, this doesn't look right.
And it's worse in pictures.
And in real life, because she looked a natural, mainly in pictures.
It looked okay when she moved and in real life.
And that's common because you're trying to make somebody look
natural in states of rest.
And also when they're dynamic, the 50 three-year-old says she let the
pressures of Hollywood get to her saying she valued appearance above all else.
Quote, I actually made things.
Fillers are not my friend today.
The brunette beauty is filler free.
She had all the products once pumped into her face dissolves
quote I'm as natural as I can be.
I feel better because I look like myself and I love, I love everything about.
What about Chloe Kardashians?
The third eldest Kardashian sister previously opened up
about her own experience with thankfully temporary fillers.
So they could be dissolved.
What did she say?
Fillers did not work for me.
Crazy.
And I still think the effects are in there.
I went to have it all dissolved three times.
She said, and we know fillers last a long time.
So she's absolutely correct.
And I have many videos on that.
Chloe then went on to say my face was so EFT.
I had to go and get this whole thing dissolved.
It was a bummer.
And now I'm afraid to do it again.
I'm almost.
I swear things are still in my face, correct, Chloe.
They likely are.
And when I talked about this exact thing with Courtney Cox,
they can make you look old.
They can make the face look boggy.
I can always tell when someone's had a filler, they look natural.
Interestingly, I did a survey on my, the community portion of this
YouTube channel and overwhelming.
Most people say, if done, right, if done properly in the right amount, not
excessive, they can make you look younger.
So that's what people think.
And of course it's a huge driver to practices, but there are four areas.
I want you to be very careful getting filler.
If you want to look natural, let's start at the top and work down.
Number four is going to be.
The anterior cheek.
And this is a killer because if you get filler that draws in water in the
front of the cheek and you do too much.
And the reason people do is because they see it here.
You don't see filler around the frame of the face, where you should get product
and college and stimulators and people see it here and they want more, that one.
Boggy, it looks baggy.
It looks projected and the rest of the face is empty.
It's a dead giveaway.
And what's worse is if you get fillers that draw water in that
aren't built for the mid face, and some people are driven for money
to get these, they look even worse.
So be careful.
That's number four, along those same lines is the.
It's one of the first areas to age people.
So clinics are driven to fill that area because people demand it.
I want my under eye filled the under eye bags and it can make people look tired.
And the reality is it's the most difficult area to fill, to look natural,
especially if the skin is like, Thin, and there's a herniation of that backpack.
And when it's filled and you can see the filler or waxes and wanes because it draws
water in, it's a dead giveaway because the rest of the face looks natural.
There are no fillers.
And then you see this filler beneath the eye and it says I got filler and
a lot of people somehow don't see it.
And it's why I do plasma eyes or PR.
Inversions there have to add volume to tighten the skin.
The last thing I want to put under an eye, if I can help it is filler.
So be careful with number three.
Number two is the lower face.
The Mila.
The, uh, oral CommInsure, the R B F a lot of people love it.
And I had someone in the other day, very seasoned patient looks natural,
uh, over 55 now, and the edges of mouth are turning down and I do inject it.
Okay.
Judiciously and I injected it for her and I got her.
Two days later, I know we're fairly well.
I get the texts and you see for the patient two or three days is injector.
You always get nervous.
You see a text from someone because that's around the time
they're going to see a problem.
And we always worry about necrosis and bad things.
So your heart rate goes up a little.
And I opened it up.
Oh, doc, I love that.
Whatever you did, what was the technique?
And I did the droplet technique with the K pattern at the edge and she loved
it, the best thing she's ever done.
And she spent thousands of dollars and that's a $700 treatment
because she saw it in the.
I don't want to do more than that, but she's going to come
back in two or three months ago.
I love that.
I want more.
And I'm going to have to say no, because we're widening the part of the face.
That's becoming wider as we get.
And we haven't a triangle and we want to be an inverted triangle.
So filling this area can be a dead giveaway.
You need to use a filler that does not draw water in that's robust.
That has G prime that's long lasting, and you have to resist
the temptation to overfill.
What are some other options?
PDL lifting threads, collagen stimulation in the frame of
the face at the oral comments.
And also at the preauricular angle of the jaw to pull back similar
to what a facelift would do.
So that keeps it natural.
And combining those altogether is natural.
Now it's easier to grab, oh, here, give me another $700.
I'll fill here.
The right thing to do is fill here, pull, get a thread, pull up, do the jawline.
And now you're into two to 3000.
But that's the natural look.
And as a practitioner, it's important.
These are things I all teach on the virtual training on the H M I T a and
many injectors around the country.
Do do this and are aware now, you know, number one, number one, most
unnatural place to fill, especially if it's someone over the age of
40 or 50 and the rest of the face.
Isn't rejuvenated.
It's the lip because.
The cheek isn't filled or at least look good if it's hollow up here, if
they're sag at the nasal labial fold, if this is turning down and we inject
the lip, it looks not only unnatural.
It looks at a place the rest of the face looks older.
It doesn't fit with the beauty angles or the math of beauty
that your practitioner goes by.
And.
Uh, the frame of the face is an address.
It's a dead giveaway, but people want the lip.
It still boggles my mind to this day.
People who come in, I'll just use an average age over 55, not
much done and want lip filler.
It's fine in the younger person that should not be overdone.
It should not be made in a fashion that makes them look distorted.
Um, but lip filler can balance.
But over the age of 35, 40 there's so much else to do.
And the lip fillers shouldn't be the last thing we do.
So the lip fillers, the number one area that can make you look unusual,
especially if it's filler that migrates, that draws water in that does not
allow for Chris Vermilion border.
What are some of the other options we can put threads at the border?
We can do plasma lip, PRF and PRF type products in the lip, a lip plumper.
Topicals that have peptides in them are great for the lip to
make it look not only rejuvenated.
Remember the lip loses color.
Fillers can help with the color a little bit, but platelet rich, fibrin
and condition lip conditioners, uh, lip plumpers are much better at
creating that, helping with fine lines.
And they're not fillers.
You can have.
Getting fillers, lip fillers look great, but be mindful of those four areas.
I put a complete playlist up here.
Things you can do at home to keep your skin and body
beautiful, healthy environment.
