🟢 The dynamics of lip movement can affect asymmetry correction. There are around 17 muscles that affect how the lips change in shape on smiling, and this can vary from the right to left sides of the same patient, meaning that even with perfect lip symmetry at rest, this can be disrupted.

🟢 Lip asymmetry can sometimes be corrected using botulinum toxin to partially relax muscles that are slightly overactive that control mouth movement, causing more of a pull on one side than the other, however in this patient’s case will affect the patient’s ability to smile naturally.

🟢 Dynamic movement of asymmetry needs to be assessed and then expectations managed with respect to the possible result of the correction. As usual, don’t believe all the perfection you see on social media because often lips on motion are not taken into account 😉 ✨

Biostimulators like Sculptra and Radiesse are the new generation injectables.

🟢 I recommend:

Sculptra for loose, stretchy skin

Radiesse in hyperdilute form to treat skin texture change.

🟢 They trigger the BODY’S OWN REPAIR system by causing an increase in production of collagen and elastin via different pathways.

🟢 Results develop over time - they are not used to revolumise (that’s filler’s job) but to strengthen and tighten areas of laxity (Sculptra) and create a more refined and smoother skin texture (Radiesse hyperdilute formulation).

🌙 Calm in the Chaos part 6🌙

Wouldn’t it be great if we could get our cortisol (stress hormone levels) as low as possible? I want to explore with you the things that help me feel the most calm.

CHANGE TOUR THOUGHTS
Changing the way you talk to yourself is one of the most powerful ways to feel the most calm.

These are my thoughts of the day to focus on 💚

Filler in the bin?? 🤨: Filler VS Regenerative Biostimulators

EACH HAVE THEIR PLACE - which to select depends on the patient and what you are trying to achieve (results using either can look natural).

The number one worry I hear from patients is they are terrified of having dermal filler because it will make them look ‘done’. Treatment results don’t need to be this way, if you see the right Dr. :

⭐️⭐️The above patient DIDNT HAVE ANY BIOSTIMULATOR treatment and STILL LOOKS SUPER NATURAL⭐️⭐️

🟢 Lisa had the following treatment:

DERMAL FILLER augmentation:
Lip
Midface/ cheeks
Temple
White lip/ ‘smokers lines’
Chin and pre-jowl

SKIN BOOSTER:
Profhilo

BOTOX:
Upper and lower face botox
Botox to correct asymmetry in smile

Lisa is a hard working nurse and mum and felt she was starting to look a little drained and tired.
She wanted to feel fresh again and recognise who she saw in the mirror.

🟢 Interestingly, stress can cause an increase in cortisol in the body, causing premature fat pad breakdown in the face. This occurs naturally with age but can increase with excess cortisol. (This is why when people have undergone a lot of stress in their lives they feel they can ‘see it in their face’.)
After a thorough facial assessment a treatment plan was formulated to be carried out over 9 months - treatment transformations are usually a journey, never a one stop shop.

🟢 It brings me absolute joy to have given Lisa a twinkle back to her lovely smile and the confidence to put her best foot forward with her head held high once more.

🟢 I would like to to express just how grateful 1 am to Lisa and each and every one of you for supporting me, for every like and follow and to my wonderful patients letting me share their transformation journeys.

you done with filler? Let me know what you think 💭

Confused? I got you 😉

🟢 Biostimulators are injectable treatments that prompt the body to produce collagen and elastin on its own, via ‘neocollagenesis’ leading to gradual improvements in skin firmness, texture, and volume for a natural-looking rejuvenation.

🟢These are often ‘polishing treatments’ used after restoring deep volume loss with dermal filler, but can be used as standalone treatments also.

🟢Unlike traditional fillers that provide immediate volume, biostimulators work over time. Notable examples include Sculptra (poly-L-lactic acid) and Polynucleotides). These agents stimulate skin-restructuring from within, helping to address wrinkles, sagging, and overall skin quality.

✅ Mechanism of Action
These agents trigger a controlled inflammatory response that encourages fibroblasts to synthesize new collagen and elastin fibers, resulting in longer-term skin improvement.

Soften your look: 👇

The number one worry I hear from patients is they
are terrified of looking fake and ‘done’. Treatment results don’t need to be this way, if you see the right Dr.

✳️ Interestingly, stress can cause an increase in cortisol in the body, causing premature fat pad breakdown in the face. This occurs naturally with age but can increase with EXCESS CORTISOL - tips on how to reduce cortisol can be found in my Calm in the Chaos Campaign posts. (This is why when people have undergone a lot of stress in their lives they feel they can
‘see it in their face.)

✳️ This lovely patient had undergone a lot of deep fat
loss in her face causing her midface to look a little sunken and flat. She had lost support to her upper white lip and this meant the red lip had ‘folded underneath. Her chin had also lost fat pad volume laterally.

✳️ After a thorough facial assessment a treatment plan was formulated to be carried out over a few visits-treatment transformations are usually a journey.

✳️Treatment over several months:
- Midface revolumisation
- White lip/ ‘smokers lines’ augmentation
- Lip augmentation
- Chin augmentation (medical genioplasty)

✳️ Results are natural and give a much softer appearance to the face, leaving my patient happy that she now looks more like how she feels.

My ✨ Secret ✨ Polynucleotide Layering Eye Technique…

🟢 Using TWO TYPES of polynucleotides:
Type A which stimulates collagen production for firmness
Type B known for its anti-inflammatory and skin regeneration properties

this dual approach maximizes rejuvenation, providing long-term benefits.

🟢 Polynucleotides are:
🧬 injectable fragments of DNA
🧬 derived from salmon or trout s***m
🧬 cause the body to send stem cells to whatever tissue they are injected into
These stem cells start creating new skin cells therefore more collagen and elastin. 🧬 It’s essentially like GROWING A SECOND SKIN!

THIS is what 1ml should look like - how? 👇

❇️ Are you worried about looking ‘fake’ with a 1ml lip treatment?

❇️ Or are you scared you will:
- look like a duck on profile with 1ml
- have migration with 1ml
- look like you have ‘been done’ with 1ml

❇️ DONT WORRY - THIS WONT HAPPEN (not with me anyway）

The result ACTUALLY depends on if you see a medical practitioner with:
✅ skilled injection technique

✅plethora of treatment techniques to call upon depending upon on your lip shape

✅excellent anatomy knowledge - to avoid complications mild or severe

✅watches how your obicularis oris muscle contracts as you smile and treats accordingly
✅ uses the correct product

✅treats in the correct plane

In actual fact, 1ml is 1/5th of a teaspoon - a teeny, tiny amount. 0.5ml is fine if you have almost no upper lip at all, otherwise that 1/10th of a teaspoon with 0.5ml will be lost in the fullness of your lip.

So don’t be scared of 1ml - it really doesn’t need to look like you think it might 💚

⭐️ Treatment: lip augmentation
⭐️ Results: immediate, usually lasts lyr before the results START reducing
⭐️ Downtime after treatment: most people continue their day as normal after treatment, it is normal to have swelling after treatment and possibly some small bruises, the above photo is straight after treatment.
