Botox? Lip Filler? Kybella? Cosmetic Treatments I've Had Done as a Dermatologist | Dr. Sam Ellis

[@haute03]

I really appreciate you talking about this! I feel like so many derms don't discuss the cosmetic treatments they have done and act like their current look comes solely from great skin care products and stuff like facials. I'm so here for the transparency and normalization of *subtle* cosmetic changes.

[@prapanthebachelorette6803]

Yes. Moderation is key 🎉

[@wendyfan8071]

exactly!

[@lilyrose4092]

You are the living proof that when procedures are done in the right way, others can't notice it :) Thank you for sharing your insights

[@Shayne_T]

Some people lie that they don't have anything done because 'you can't notice it' -- that's annoying to me. People should be real like she's being here.

[@LDM805]

What are you talking about? She's beautiful and her procedures are clearly done well, but she looks very done. She may have not been very expressive prior to botox, but she has the tell tale frozen signs of botox now and the unnatural lip movement that comes with filler. I honestly don't care what people get done to themselves, but it's such a disservice for everyone to lie about "looking natural". If people are saying they didn't notice she's had work done, they are being polite as people should be.

[@aquariusashley94]

Did she say she was 32 or 42?

[@dariajanus1999]

Well it is definitely obvious that the doctor has had a lot of treatments

[@JH-yg5oo]

I appreciate you for your honesty that it takes more than just a great skincare regimen to see certain results. I hope more influencers, skin experts and dermatologist do the same.

[@rosemaryfreitas7656]

Nice video. Around 35 years ago a dermatologist convinced me to try ablative laser. I did 3 course for red, brown and broken vessels. I've continued with retinols, great skin care, etc. Recently, secret RF. No surgery. a bit of cheek filler and botox. I am now 71 and people cannot believe I am over 40. Yes that little avatar photo us really me!

It’s amazing what taking care of your skin can do (in combo with a little injectable and tech help 😉)

I think it's wonderful that you were transparent. The only thing is I was hoping you would talk more about your experience with these procedures, possible side effects, safety, etc. I've heard lots of Kybella horror stories lol

You have no idea how much I love honesty. Explaining all the treatments you do gives me a lot of confidence too. Thank you so much!

[@frankie9953]

Thank you for being so open and honest. It is so refreshing to see a medical professional letting us know what they had done. You definitely walk the walk and if I was in your area, I would go to you for my botox + fillers!

[@SweetCherriez06]

Thank you for this video! I don't understand how people could judge you, when you just present everything in such an informative way!

[@eimankhan630]

I just started college (I'm a freshman) and I wanna be a dermatologist when I'm older. This video is so informative for me because I have a long way to go before I get there! So it gives me some exposure to what the world of derm is like - you're one of the people I look up to and it gives me the confidence that I can also become whatever I want to be. Thank you for uploading this 🥰

[@orianasanchez8410]

Thank you so much for speaking about these! Nobody should feel shame about getting their cavities removed or getting braces to straighten their teeth and there should also be no shame associated with the way we want to repair skin damage or keep our skin looking its best. You got this, Dr. Ellis :)

[@jkl123abc]

As someone who has now reach their thirties, I’ve been more curious about in office procedures. However, there are so many options which can be intimidating. Thank you for breaking some of them down!

[@marthaspikes9669]

I love appearing natural, but at 49, I also love looking "good for my age". I take really good care of myself, I am a vegetarian, I do not eat sugar, etc but I have also had botox, fillers, microneedling (multiple sessions) PDO threads, etc. All at separate times, I don't think there is anything wrong with it. I am very pro-anything that makes you feel good about yourself.

[@wendyfan8071]

Same! I'm 43 feel like I've tried it all😅

[@navyfarrow5333]

Thank you so much for making this video! IMO, there is a big gap in KZbin on the subject of cosmetic dermatology treatments. It is so helpful to hear what procedure you prioritize for yourself and why, because you are an expert who also “walks the walk”.

[@wendyfan8071]

Omg! Yes! I feel like I get so many opposite facts and opinions on youtube Don't know what to believe!

[@Greenwitch_Garden]

I love this video. I know Dermatologists and Cosmetic Sergeants get “work” done or treatments done, but it’s great to hear an honest explanation of what you’ve had done and why. The proof is in your beautiful skin that it works.

[@BbGun-lw5vi]

Your lips are the most natural “lip filler lips” I’ve ever seen! I ALWAYS notice telltale signs when people get lip filler. What do you think about new research that suggests filler can stay in the face for years and years? And that it can travel away from the injection site to other places? MRIs have proven this happens. Is that a concern for you? Thank you!

[@mushy470]

The thing is you're only seeing the obvious ones

[@vchafab]

I am worried about this. I had a filler appointment but then randomly came across some videos about this and canceled it

[@ellypretty]

This is why I canceled my lip filler appointment. Thought health is more important

[@IEVAKambarovaite]

I was having a facial and started talking to my aesthetician and she said she used to do lip fillers for clients, but then felt it wasn't right for her. I've heard it can travel to your brain.. That's scary. But then it's one of those things I don't know how real it is 😳

[@evaburley720]

[@yusray.a3470]

I can always tell when someone has gotten lip fillers. But with yours I would have never guessed! So natural and you look great.

[@rheamphillips]

Wow! You’re already a dermatologist with lots of experience at 32?? You didn’t skip a beat! 18-22 years old: undergrad, 22-26 med school, 26-30 residency and then maybe a fellowship too? Impressive!

[@prapanthebachelorette6803]

[@sarahhagen2051]

I appreciate your transparency. I’m 59, and have had several sessions of v-beam and pico. Love the results, and its quick! I’m in and out of my derms office in about 20 minutes. Although, v-beam smarts! Overall, I’m really happy with my skin. Except for my neck. And, I decided to get a lower face lift for that. It wish my neck didn’t bother me so much, but it does 🤷🏼‍♀️ I’m happy that I made a decision about it. I’ve literally spent thousands on at home devices that I don’t use 🙄🙄

[@RockBandGroupie]

Thank you for being so transparent! Answered a lot of questions I had about these treatments and learned about new ones 😊

[@inamisho1]

This is the first time I see someone's lips done and looking that natural. I constantly see them overdone. Really informative video.

[@haven_from_me]

Thank you for your honesty! It also serves as a reminder that beauty procedures are very common so don't compare your natural self to someone with excellent skin care, lasers and injectables.

[@oliviadesenne6069]

Thank you so much for being open and honest! I think you look you look absolutely gorgeous in a very healthy and natural way. Its strange how people can be Luddites regarding the modern miracles of dermatological procedures when they would never be so with other medical procedures in the fields of orthopedics, opthalmology, dentistry, etc. Keep up the frankness ...its quite refreshing!

[@MyLoVeLyMaN]

Very informative :) For myself, I do not want any procedure. I don't see my face or body as something I need to work on in any way apart from keeping it healthy (diet, exercise, sleep etc) not because I am perfect but just because I want to use my time and money for things that fill my soul, as my body will leave me at some point soon or later. I do appreciate any part of me and grateful to have a body that functions and allows me to life my life. This is enough to me. I do like using cosmetics though that keep my skin in a nice condition such as retinoids, moisturisers, spf.

[@DrSamEllis]

I think that’s a great and totally valid perspective and approach! We should all feel free to prioritize the things that matter the most to us and it looks like you’re doing just that 🙌🏼

[@fiercegirldesign1]

Thank you so much for sharing your expert advice and experience with us. I’ve never had any cosmetic procedures done, but I’m very curious about them. I go back and forth on my feelings about whether or not I want to take the plunge. I would love it if you would do a video sharing practical advice on how to find a good derm, etc. I feel like I never quite know which professional should be doing which procedures and what questions should I ask to find the best professional. It’s all very intimidating to me.

[@sicmic]

I would have never guessed you'd had anything done. Which I think is exactly what you want right. You are gorgeous.

[@pslay9324]

This was so beautifully explained so that I could not only understand the procedures as one ages but also can understand why it's done and for the purpose. Thank you for giving your time on all these services. The small procedures you have done really have enhanced your beautiful face. At age 32 I didn't need anything just due to genetics and having a little extra weight on. As I am now 57, yes I now need some of these. I think every woman is beautiful in their own way just as they age. I like the lite looks, nothing major is for me. As a mother to a 21 year old young woman, she is really into watching your videos on skin, hair and nail care and has taken way better care of her skin care than I did. I appreciate the information in an informative way. I subscribed. ❤❤

[@ninagetalife5555]

I am 49, I have only done a VBeam a couple of times, trying to tame my rosacea, it has subdued but not completely gotten rid of my redness, so I still have to frantically cover it with makeup. Yep, so no fillers, no botox but I do look young. Before menopause I looked at least 10 years younger, now, having gone through menopause and several years of depression and no sleep, the difference is probably smaller. I am convinced that a couple of extra lines on the face don't make much of a difference in terms of how people around you perceive your age. It's more that it's the gait, the flexibility, the stamina and other physiscal parameters that are a telltale sign of our actual (non-calendar) age.

[@Janetmouse]

The cost of these procedures especially if you need a series is very expensive...but love that it all looks natural on you!

[@christinemack2153]

My compliments for a most informative and personal look at these treatments/therapies. This means so much coming from a Board Certified Dermatologist. You're gorgeous with gorgeous skin. I've been happy with Botox between the brows and for crows feet. I've been happy with Vollure for lip wrinkles and Voluma for cheeks and had a little Voluma I think on the jaw line. I am saving up for Ultherapy and considering RF microneedling. I'm in my 50's and spent a lot of time over the years in the sun without sunscreen. I just subscribed and can't wait to learn more! Thank you very much!

[@katieaustin9639]

THANK YOU for this! This is the balance of beautification / maintenance I hope to strike so this was so super encouraging. I follow you because I'm struggling to manage rosacea and appreciate your regimen tips and advice for that especially. Now that I'm 40 and have the income to begin some treatments it's been hell spending my modest budget trying to get the redness under control (although I know that I'm lucky to be able to address it w/ a professional at all). I hope soon that I will be able to get into the more "fun" treatments. All that to say: COULD YOU PLEASE PLEASE! Do a video on how to find a great cosmetic derm or injector for stuff like this? When I think about starting to set consultations, the thing that causes me massive paralysis is FINDING a cosmetic derm or injector! I've had two underwhelming V-beam treatments from my current provider, a PA. I feel like it's an afterthought and I'm not exactly thrilled with them overall. I want to find someone with skills to make these precious treatments count and if it's not too much to ask, I'd like to feel connected to them aesthetically or that they 'get' mine anyway. It's a lot of money and of course- it's my face! I would be willing to do the legwork and pay what they're worth if I thought I could avoid as much trial and error as possible. Would appreciate advice for how YOU might approach finding someone... say, if you moved somewhere with no connections and had to get your treatments. (Also love the irony that the people who have amazing subtle work don't present as "having work" and lean towards being less vocal about having tweakments hard to get word of mouth recommendations, lol)

[@fiercegirldesign1]

I have the exact same question! How does one FIND a good derm?! Fingers crossed she does a video on this.

[@FreeRangeDiva]

Thank you for this detailed information. I learned a lot and this is practical knowledge for me that I can use as I'm staring down my 66th birthday in a few days. I've had fillers year ago and recently had my first Pelleve treatment on my neck. My second treatment is tomorrow and I'm already seeing results. My dr. is extremely good - like you, she's an artist when it comes to making the face look good and natural.

[@marianar3367]

Your eyebrow area looks so good! Exactly what I want - subtle brow lift and scowling prevention. I also have the control thing and am nervous to let someone inject my face. 😩 Would love to hear about how to vet a good provider.

[@cristinafrancisco6773]

Thank you for sharing your experiences with the cosmetic procedures you have had done. The procedures that you described and seeing them on you makes me want to become your patient 😊. I have just turned 60 and do my best to look after my skin. I’m blessed with good genes and for more than 40 years I had sun allergy that kept me out of the sun. Now than I’m able to enjoy the sun, I apply an SPF, cover my head to provide shade to my face and I never sun bathe. I would love to try some of the collagen stimulating lasers and would be open to mild injectables. I am Canadian and live in The Netherlands where cosmetic dermatology has a way to go to meet North American standards.

[@SusanSlattery]

I'm 57 and just had my first V-Beam laser treatment for the broken blood vessels (right on the center of my cheeks). REDNESS is my biggest problem. I always blushed as a child, and in my 30s I started to notice the little blood strings on my cheeks. Diagnosed with Rosacea in my 20s, I didn't learn it was VASCULAR Rosacea until a few months ago. I plan to get V Beam a few more times, and then as needed.

I’ve never done any procedures. Looking after my skin with good products, being sun conscious and getting the occasional facial is the extent of what I’ve done. My skin has lost some of its elasticity but I still don’t have dark spots, wrinkles or anything. I’m a lot older, so am pleased so far. I think if you have the means and wish to do treatments, you should with someone like a dermatologist. However, I think that people need to focus on being healthy and not to feel that they’re inadequate for not doing lots of procedures.

I’m 52 and only started getting Botox 3 years ago and never fillers on my face (only on my lips) because they scare me since they don’t go away and I don’t want to change my face shape. I did get ultherapy at 40 and I think it did help me age better. I wish I would have done more like every 5 years. I have been doing radio frequency treatments for about 5 years and that also helps a lot. Also 3 years ago I started adding some filler on my upper lip. I have always looked younger but now I’m starting to see some changes (some jowling and sagging of the cheeks and neck and melasma) so now I am looking for other procedures that could help me. I’m looking to do a halo laser with my dermatologist and looking into Sculptra or ultherapy again.

[@melissaboyce3942]

Thank you so much for sharing! Super informative from a Derm’s perspective. I’d love to hear more about using tretinoin/Retin A. Info about me for readers: I am 52 and about two and a half years ago I did Ultherapy on the whole face. Note to readers: the Pro-Nox analgesic inhalant is a MUST HAVE- this procedure is very uncomfortable otherwise. It has a zapping/burning sensation depending on the ultrasound levels and/or the location on the face. It cost me about $2000 for the full face in Houston. I had minor bruising after and the effects take several months but also last a few years. I do think it helped but the effects were so subtle over that it is hard to tell. If I do it again, I would do a neck treatment since that is where my most lax skin is. Botox: Two years ago I started Botox on my “11s” between the brows and on my scowl muscles on the sides of my mouth. Botox in these areas has been awesome for my resting bitch face; I actually notice when I get feeling back in those areas and it makes me feel more cranky! It takes about two weeks to see the full effects, but the long term improvement will keep me coming back about three times a year. Filler: I did some filler in my brow lines and my marionette lines a year and a half ago. It felt kind of ropey and placed too low in my jowls but it did help the corners of my smile from turning down. The regular Botox has actually significantly removed the lines between the forehead and paralyzed my marionette scowl lines so well that I don’t really need filler there (and Botox is a LOT cheaper than filler, although filler lasts longer). Overall: I have been a daily sunscreen user and retinol user for about two+ years. I’ve had to slowly move up from retinols to retinals, and currently a .05% tretinoin formula from Curology. My issue has always been dry flaky skin and mild rosacea with the retinoids. I am still be dealing with this. Thanks again for the detailed post!

[@LetsHavaChat]

You’re beautiful, Melissa!! I’ve been wanting to do Ultherapy, but have been wary of the pain. Is the Pro-Tox something your provider uses with clients? I’m guessing only a derm would be able to use it?

[@melissagalech3649]

Thank you for being so open and honest with what you've had done. It was very interesting. I thought you didn't have that much done since you're so youthful looking. I'm 43 but I'm half Korean (half white) so I'm able to maintain a youthful appearance still. It seems like once Asians are old though, they look really old. ha ha My mom is Korean and turning 80 this month (March 2024) and looks like she could be in her early 60s. She does take good care of herself though. She eats right and exercises. I'm overweight unfortunately so I'm now working on getting healthier so I can look my best soon. I also have skin care products that I started using Fall 2021 after I turned 41. I found another cosmetic dermatologist on KZbin that I learned all about skin care and skin care products. I'm loving learning from you also and your view on skin care products.

Here I am watching you and thinking I should have been a dermatologist…. There’s no way I’ll ever be able to afford all these procedures

Love your videos! I would love to see a video on hyperpigmentation (lasers and topicals) thank you!

[@amysilin8122]

This video was fun and worthwhile to watch. You looked natural and showed no evidence of anything unusual. I also watched a recent posting and I'm wondering if you had a flattering Buccal fat pad removal procedure that is not evident at the time of *this* one to add to the list.

Great video! Thank you! I wish I could come to visit you at your practice! You are the perfect example of how cosmetic treatments should be used - to look like a better version of yourself! I am a skincare junkie and love your content! Thank you!!!

I didn’t even know some of things existed. I had some IPL done for redness and broken blood vessels and was not impressed by the results. Im going to see if I can find a derm who does vbeam

[@anitamiko9975]

IPL did no miracles for me either
