Over the last couple of weeks, there’s been a resurgence of surgeons loudly claiming that HA fillers “interfere” with facelifts.
Important to note, there are:
- No studies showing HA fillers make facelifts less effective
- No increase in surgical complications
- No controlled data of any kind
- Just opinions – repeated loudly enough to sound like fact
If HA fillers genuinely compromised facelift outcomes, we’d see it across thousands of cases and in the literature – but we don’t.
This was never about fillers.
It’s about ego, fear-narratives, and storytelling being presented as science.
Extraordinary claims require strong evidence.
Your ego doesn’t count as evidence.

Nasal threads are still sold as “simple” and “non-invasive.”
But anatomically, they blindly cross dorsal nasal artery, angular artery territory, and key perforators – vessels and nerves (external nasal, infratrochlear) you do not want to traumatise.
Real risks include:
- Vascular injury (including necrosis)
- Nerve damage
- Infection (cellulitis, abscess)
- Airway obstruction, valve collapse
- Foreign body granulomas
- Chronic inflammation
- Thread migration, breakage, extrusion
- Dimpling, puckering, surface irregularities
- Distortion of nasal shape
- Scar tissue (fibrosis)
- Difficulty with future fillers
(blocked planes, inflamed tissue)
- Difficulty with future surgical rhinoplasty
(scarred plane, unpredictable results)
- Need for surgical removal or correction
And unlike filler, you can’t dissolve a thread if something goes wrong.
So the question remains:
Can you really justify nasal threads?

The idea that hyaluronic acid gel can “lift” retaining ligaments goes against basic surgical anatomy.
Facial ligaments are dense, fibrous tethers anchoring tissue to bone. They don’t contract, tighten, or elevate – they simply hold structures in place.
In a facelift, surgeons release these ligaments to allow the SMAS and deep fat pads to move upward. The ligaments aren’t reattached higher, the SMAS is.
So the notion that filler injected under a ligament can lift it mechanically isn’t just an exaggeration – it’s anatomically impossible.
Filler adds volume.
It is not a pulley, a crane, or a lifting device.
Agree?

Injectable peptides have become the newest “regenerative solution” in aesthetic medicine, but they’re simply the latest stop on a long chain of regenerative claims.
We’ve progressed through PRP/PRF, stem cells, exosomes, polynucleotides and PDGF, each introduced with impressive terminology but weak to nonexistent clinical data.
That sequence normalises the idea that unlicensed aesthetic biologics and untested compounds could be injected for aesthetic benefit.
Injectable peptides such as BPC-157, TB-500, GHK-Cu, and other compounded blends are now being used and promoted in practice with:
- No approved aesthetic indication
- No long-term safety data
- No standardisation
- Significant variability in purity and sourcing
We are not seeing innovation – we are seeing escalation where patients are effectively the test subjects.
Once hype becomes the standard, the threshold for evidence quietly disappears.
Injectable peptides are the current apex, but they won’t be the last. PDGF opened the floodgates.

There’s growing concern that biostimulators “permeate” tissue or cause scarring that complicates surgery.
In reality, these products do not have minds of their own and cannot make decisions to migrate.
Problems arise when the product is:
- Injected too deeply or across multiple planes
- Used in excessive amounts
- Placed without regard for anatomy or guidance
When placed correctly – typically in the subcutaneous layer and under ultrasound guidance – biostimulators do not interfere with surgical dissection or healing.
Conservative volume, correct depth, and ultrasound guidance make all the difference.
PLACEMENT. NOT PRODUCT.

Vascular complications in aesthetics aren’t just arterial.
Veins can be involved too – from bruising and haematoma… to rare but documented cases of pulmonary embolism after venous cannulation in the face (including the sentinel and middle temporal veins).
We talk about arteries because of occlusion and blindness.
We forget the veins because the complications look “less dramatic” – until they’re not.
VEINS MATTER TOO

Overfilled, flattened, stitched, taped, traumatised.
Different techniques, same outcome: the lip stops being a lip.
Overfilling and flattening aren’t opposites – they’re just two different ways of ignoring anatomy.
Thoughts?

We’ve reached a point where aesthetic medicine is being sold like luxury bags and $100k “Rolls Royce facelifts.”
But anatomy doesn’t care about luxury.
A Birkin can be “luxury” because it’s an object – lips are not.
You can’t status-signal your way around anatomy.
It responds to technique, not price tag.
Luxury belongs in fashion.
Medicine belongs in faces.
Agree?

Genuine question – is there any surgical, anatomical or technical reason a facelift should cost over $100k?

Every day it’s the same surgeons on social media, bashing fillers with zero scientific evidence – just anecdote, assumption, and a scalpel to sell.
If the argument is “stop using fillers, start using scalpels,” it’s not science – it’s sales.
Agree?

The “dumbification” of anatomy has consequences – in injectables and in devices.
(Link to our article in bio)
True safety means seeing what’s really there, not guessing where it “should” be.
Ultrasound bridges that gap, for both fillers and energy-based treatments.
Education, not automation, is the way forward.
Agree?

There’s been a lot of noise recently about RF microneedling after the FDA highlighted risks including fat loss and disfigurement.
The FDA message isn’t “stop RF microneedling.”
It’s use it responsibly – with anatomical precision and clinical judgement.
The same applies to all energy-based devices.
When used appropriately, RF microneedling has been shown to significantly improve skin texture and quality.
It comes down to anatomical understanding, operator judgement, and precision – not marketing promises or menu settings.
Aesthetic medicine is still medicine.
