Dr Terry

Integrative Aesthetic & Hormone Doctor . Helping women age with power. She’s known for her gentle touch, long term planning and natural results.

Through her personal experience and working with patients through the decades, Dr. Terry specialises in hormonal acne, aesthetic treatments and hormonal balance (particularly perimenopause and menopause). Having grown up in Malaysia and trained in UK and USA, she combines Eastern philosophy with Western technology and science. Her approach to aesthetic treatments is helping patients look their natural best, restoring their youthful features and not changing the way they look. Being a working mother and in her 40’s, she understands that confidence is not only what we look like but also how we feel in ourselves. Hence the importance of nutritional health, hormonal balance and stress management which affects so many things, both inside out.

Needed to get this off my chest!

My simple neck hack: Slather Vaseline on your neck overnight. Skin will look and feel plumper. You’re welcome 😉.

The phrase “Fake it until you make it” never sat right with me, and now I know why.

😣 🧠 Cognitive dissonance. ⚡️

It’s the psychological discomfort when what we say and what we feel to be true are in conflict. The body doesn’t lie. And when the gap is too wide, the nervous system pulls us back to what feels familiar, not what feels aspirational. It’s not weakness - it’s just the brain’s threat-detection system doing its job.

There’s also a concept from Gabriele Oettingen’s research (NYU psychologist) called mental contrasting. She found that pure positive fantasy actually decreases motivation and follow-through, because the brain partially experiences the goal as already achieved. The body relaxes before the work is done.

That’s where self-sabotage lives. In the gap between what your mind is performing and what your body believes.

So instead of performing the destination, I’ve learned to name where I actually am. Athlete in training. Practitioner in training. Creator in training.

“In training” keeps the nervous system honest and open - it’s not performing a lie, it’s stating what’s truth. The body can relax into that identity rather than brace against its own disbelief.

With every needle-moving action you take towards reaching your goal, your body clocks in “I can trust you to follow through the promises you’ve made.” It’s evidence accumulated, training your identity to grow beyond your current self until reality catches up. Success should be seen like a muscle, not a mask.

So let me ask you, what are you in training for?

It’s easier to regulate our nervous system when our hormones are being taken care off and not running all over the place with their own individual agenda.

Going through Perimenopause in my early 40s forced me to see and face my blind spots. Once you see it, you can’t unsee it.

One of the ways I have found works well is pursuing things that light me up eg public speaking and performance arts. Pursuing things that light you up is scary but by doing so, you expand your ability to hold yourself in uncertainty and stress. You’re able to practice strengthening your nervous
system in a safe environment.

Small doses of daily brave acts slowly accumulate and remind you that you’re capable, you’re growing and you have what it takes to be the heroine of your own life 🔥

What daily brave acts can you do that is safe but still a stretch to build your nervous system to pursue the life you want 💪

Lip flip is an off-licensed advanced Botox treatment where tiny amounts are placed carefully above the upper lip to relax the upper fibres of the orbicularis oris (circular muscles surrounding mouth and lips).

This muscle normally:-
👄 Pulls the upper lip inward when you speak or smile
👄 Can make the upper lip look thinner or “disappear” when smiling

By relaxing the muscle slightly:-
👄 The upper lip rolls outward slightly (“flips”)
👄 More of the pink lip (vermillion) becomes visible
👄 The lip appears fuller, without adding volume

Timeline:-
👄 Starts working: ~3–5 days
👄 Full effect: 10–14 days
👄 Duration: 6–8 weeks (shorter than most Botox areas)

It’s good for:-
👄 When upper lip disappears when smiling
👄 Mild asymmetry
👄 Wanting a subtle enhancement
👄 Reducing gummy smile in some cases
👄 Reduce vertical expression lines above the lips (If the lines are there at rest, it’s considered a static wrinkle and would need extra treatment with skin boosters to reduce if it bothers you)

⚠️ Trade-off (Important to be aware of)

Because you are weakening a functional muscle, you may notice difficulty with:
🥤 Drinking from a straw
😗 Whistling
😯Pronouncing certain words (e.g. “P”, “B”)
😊 Slight change in smile dynamics
👄 Lip may feel “lazy” or less controlled

‼️ This is dose-dependent and technique-dependent

So if you do a lot of presenting, speaking, singing, playing a wind instrument or snorkelling/diving as part of your profession, you will want to think twice about the lip flip.

Botox is great for boosting confidence but it’s still a medical procedure so be aware of the risk and choose your provider carefully.

It would be a waste if we did not use it to our advantage 🩷

Botox is not the problem.
Botox in the wrong hands is.

For context, the previous video I am referring to is my experience having Botox to treat my lower eye lid spasm due to dry, irritated eyes. Botox did not cause my eye twitching…. It actually gave me relief while I got on top of my dry eyes.
