Everyone is entitled to their own aesthetic preferences, and beauty will always be subjective. However, there is an important distinction between personal preference and the quality of an aesthetic outcome

My definition of good lip filler isn’t based on size or how noticeable the enhancement is, but rather on respecting natural anatomy, maintaining appropriate proportions, and preserving normal movement

While some may find the results on the left aesthetically appealing, I believe these types of outcomes have contributed to the negative reputation of lip filler and overshadowed its ability to enhance natural features without distorting them

✅ STAY TUNED FOR PART TWO, COMING NEXT WEEK🗓️

The video EVERY good injector wants you to watch!

If you have low sitting brows and/or excess upper eyelid skin

AND

you want to treat your forehead lines with botox

WITHOUT

jeopardizing your brow or eyelid position

you may need to consider surgery first… a brow lift and/or upper blepharoplasty 🔪

SOMETIMES we can maintain the brow position by injecting high on the forehead (as this portion of the muscle actually pulls down as opposed to up…

But this is unlikely to improve lower sitting forehead lines

As always, if treating the forehead, the frown line area should always be treated in conjunction

EVERY INJECTOR WANTS YOU TO WATCH THIS!

Your provider *can* get rid of brow commas with botox💉

But the closer botox is placed to the arch of your brow, the higher the chance that you will lose it

…making your brows look flatter🫠

This is especially true if the dose is high or the placement is deep

Using a low & superficial dose can maintain your brow position, but it won’t last as long as other areas of your forehead

- Most providers avoid this area
- Some are willing to treat it on a follow up
- Experienced providers who know your face may treat it concurrently with the rest of your forehead treatment
- And some providers are too scared to touch it all together

The bottom line: If you tolerate botox here as a touch up, then you will likely be able to add it as part of your regular treatment at future appts

The Botox Brow Lift Explained ⤵️

▪️Botox in a depressor (pull-down) muscle will keep it in its highest resting position
▪️Botox in an elevator (lifting) muscle will prevent it from raising as high

◼️Lifting the brows requires:
▪️Treatment in the frown muscles (11s)
▪️Treatment in the upper, outer eye muscles (lateral brows & crows feet)
▪️Less, if any Botox in the forehead

◼️If the forehead IS being treated:
▪️The dose should be conservative
▪️The placement should be high (higher placement helps preserve the area that allows the brows to raise)

The best candidates for the Botox brow lift have strong depressor muscles that cause a visible depression of the brow and adequate frontalis strength to elevate the brow

2 Ways to Love Your Lips⤵️

💋LIP FLIP:
- relaxes muscle that causes inversion of upper lip, turning it out & making it LOOK fuller
- lasts 6-8 weeks at most
- costs less

💋LIP FILLER:
- adds physical volume inside lip, so lip IS fuller
- lasts several months
- costs more

Platysma vs Masseter Botox: Details here ⬇️

👉🏼Botox at the FRONT of the jaw relaxes the upper part of the platysma muscle (strong pull-down muscle)

When the platysma can’t pull down as strongly, the cheek muscles, which are lifting muscles, can work more freely ⛓️‍💥

The reduced downward tension and unopposed elevation can improve jawline definition & the appearance of mild jowls

👉🏼Botox at the BACK of the jaw relaxes and gradually shrinks an enlarged masseter (jaw) muscle

💡If this makes sense, my other videos will too

There is no such thing as a nose job with Botox 🤦🏻‍♀️

Botox injected to the depressor septi nasi CAN stabilize the tip of your nose if moves a lot when you talk, smile, or close your mouth

It CANNOT add cartilage, tissue or structural support to the nasal tip

Treating the mid-face before the tear trough is one of the most important principles in under-eye rejuvenation

I only treat the tear trough in the presence of a mild eye bag in very select patients; I primarily refer to oculoplastics for most degrees of eye bags

Her final after photo was taken 20 months after I placed her tear trough filler - so far it is holding up beautifully

Bonus before and after:

The first & second photo on the last side is before & after I placed toxin to her left upper eyelid for improvement in acquired ptosis (superior pretarsal orbicularis oculi)

It’s hard to capture photos of toxin results in this area because the effect is so subtle. I perform this on select patients, and the majority are very pleased with results

Surgical🔪 ptosis repair remains the gold standard, however. I refer for this a lot too. In my practice, plastic surgeons are friends, not enemies. by @ms.glowtox

She’s been protecting her face from the sun☀️ since she was 18 years old. Wow.

If you don’t do anything else aesthetic-wise, protecting your skin from the sun and using skincare CONSISTENTLY will never fail you.

It doesn’t fully transmit on camera, but every time I see her skin, it leaves me in awe.

It’s never too late to start taking care of your skin.

PS: If you can’t or don’t want to wear sunscreen, wear a hat and use an umbrella ☂️. That’s what I do, and my skin thanks me! by @ms.glowtox
