She wanted a little volume without looking like she had filler. So that’s exactly what we did

Balanced her shape, kept the borders clean, and used just enough product to give her what she asked for 💋

Dissolving isn’t always easy, but sometimes it’s the best first step ✅

This was done in stages: two rounds of dissolving, and then the lips were refilled in a way that actually fit her.

Starting fresh gave us the chance to do what was right for her lips, not just add more filler on top of something that didn’t suit her.

The anti-filler propaganda is everywhere these days.

If I didn't know any better l'd believe it too.

Having been injecting for almost a decade, l've seen countless bad outcomes, but blaming "filler" is a polarizing take, and honestly, an oversimplified one.

Filler problems start at the proximal end of the syringe.

Potential use of filler should always begin with a highly detailed medical and treatment history. Period. This is non-negotiable.

A highly comprehensive facial assessment should follow - a facial assessment that includes every area of the face, not just the one being injected.

In depth anatomical knowledge should be a prerequisite.

The anti-filler narrative is tired, and it creates unnecessary fear around a tool that, when used correctly, can be incredibly powerful and natural-looking.

If you are a patient who is considering filler but scared of what you're seeing online, what matters most is why, how, and by WHOM it is being used.

Before and after results that filler can look natural ✅

No tear trough filler 🚫 Instead we restored her mid face (cheeks), which helped support her under eye area, making her look less tired 😴 .

She already had beautiful lips, so we just added a touch of hydration for smoothing with subtle volume 🪄

Ever wonder why Dysport uses more “units” than Botox? 🤔

They’re both neuromodulators, but their units aren’t 1:1

Dysport usually needs 3 units to = 1 unit of Botox 💉

That’s why the unit count looks higher. It doesn’t mean you’re getting more product or are being over treated

❌ Pet peeve of mine

Marketing tactic: Advertising Dysport at “$3 per unit”
Reality ✅ It takes 3x the unit to match Botox

TO BE CLEAR…… units between brands are not interchangeable, but on average.

👉🏼 Don’t let the numbers fool you. Ask about total dosing, not just price per unit

Some people respond better to one over the other. It really just comes down to what works best for YOU 🫶🏼

Which do you prefer and why? 👇

I like both 🤗

What I love about her result

We maintained some natural creasing of her lower lid... when this is completely eradicated in someone who has it naturally, it can make the smile look fake or forced

I also love that we can see the slimming of her face while animated as opposed to the traditional stationary shot we see for most masseter botox before and afters

HUGE thanks to my GORGEOUS patient who graciously allowed me to share her results and educate others!

Men loose volume in the Mid face too!

Small strategic enhancements make all the difference. By restoring volume in the anterior cheek, we created natural structure and balance without overfilling 🙌

No one will know… but everyone will notice 👀

Small tweaks like anterior cheek support 📐 help restore facial balance and take years off 🕰️ without looking “done” That’s the goal 🤫

The kind of lips that make you question if its filler or just good gene’s 😉

A touch of hydration, soft definition, and just the right amount of volume.

Just a little touch to enhance what’s already there ✨

Filler should enhance, not announce. 📢

Ever wonder what your injector really means when they say certain things? 🤔

Let’s decode the lingo! 💉

Injections come with a lot of nuances, and sometimes what we say sounds a little different than what we actually mean 😘

Just because it can be done doesn’t mean it should be. 🫣

Not every filler request is a good idea, and part of my job is knowing when less is more (or when none is best).

Filler isn’t just about adding volume, it’s about respecting facial anatomy, maintaining balance, and enhancing features in a way that looks natural. ✅ ✨

When used incorrectly, it can create unnatural proportions and even lead to complications. 🚫⚠️ ✋

Swipe through to see the requests I commonly turn down and why.

Understanding the why helps set realistic expectations and ensures safe, balanced results.

Questions? I’m happy to explain, let’s talk! 😊

Good skincare isn’t cheap, but neither are Botox, fillers, or lasers.

If you’re investing in treatments, why wouldn’t you invest in keeping your skin healthy too?🤔

Medical grade skincare costs more because it actually works!

Why??

Higher quality ingredients, better absorption, and real science behind it.

It’s the difference between maintaining and enhancing your results versus just hoping for the best.

✨ Think of it this way:

• Would you get your hair colored and never use heat protectant or conditioner?

• Would you spend money on a personal trainer, but eat fast food every day?

• Would you detail your car, but never change the oil?

Your skin is no different. When you invest in it, it shows!
