Exactly Where I Get Injections and Why | Best Botox and Filler Placement | Dr. Sam Ellis

[@michellep1405]

THANK YOU for this transparency. I'm so tired of derms who clearly get injections NOT talking about this. THANK YOU!

[@madelineasmr926]

AND use filters on top of that! Like why should I trust you if you’re clearly lying??!

I don’t think women have an obligation to disclose and justify what they choose to do to their bodies. It’s no one’s business. They are entitled to privacy.

[@michellep1405]

@@alyxxa6182 They don't. But she's a dermatologist. It's her ethical obligation to be transparent as a healthcare provider rather than "look what these products do for me!" when it's, well, filler.

[@IsaRican810]

@@alyxxa6182They are entitled to privacy when they’re not selling you products based off the way they look. If you’re going to make any money off saying “I use XYZ products” or own your own skincare line then you have an ethical obliobligation to disclose other things you use to alter your appearance. I don’t think you need to lay it all out the way Dr. Ellis does here necessarily, but at the very least an acknowledgment of “I also do microneedling or Botox or fillers or whatever” is warranted. The same goes for men on gear selling you their workout program or women with BBL’s selling you a diet plan.

[@susan825]

I agree completely. We’re shown so much now (with filters, lighting, injections etc) that is supposed to be “natural beauty” but it’s just the opposite of natural. We see a ‘standard’ that is unattainable for the majority of people - which can crush self esteem - especially the young girls growing up now with these lies absolutely everywhere they look.

[@pamelamaurer2076]

I wholeheartedly agree. I appreciate the honesty and then we can take that information and decide what we want to do or not do to ourselves.

Thank you for being so transparent! I am 58 and started Botox at 32. I have the same dermatologist since day one. His motto: « if someone ever ask you the name of your injector it means I am not doing a good job at keeping you looking natural. ». Thank you so much for your videos❣️. You are absolutely gorgeous!!!

[@DreyaLynx]

I understand what you mean, but from my own experience no matter how "natural" it looks , I can see when somebody had something done,. The more mature the easier we can notice. Something about body language and overall look that's a tell-tale about something is not agreeing in the overall look. That being said it doesn't mean that we should not improve your look if it bothers us, but I don't believe that cover up our age necessarily. In fact I heard that our body language sometimes can age more than our faces.

[@arlendickson2119]

@@DreyaLynx I totally agree with you. The idea is not to fight aging because it is a long lost battle😅. But my goal using botox (not more than 1-2 x per year) is to relax that permanent frown and worried look I had starting from an early age. It softens it and that is all I am looking to do. Aging gracefully is best because it definitely shows when someone refuses to age and they still look their age but weird looking ❣️

I’m over 50 and had filler injected into my nasolabial folds, but it caused that part of my face to sag, making me look older. Despite attempts to dissolve the filler, the result still isn’t good, and I have a lump under my skin. The person who injected me was a trained RN with over 10 years of experience in fillers and Botox. I recently watched a plastic surgeon who explained that this can happen. He said fillers can weigh the face down and he was right. I will never get fillers again! It has worsened the appearance of my face.

[@Future-zx9ts]

Thank you for sharing this info. IMO, people use fillers much too freely and without regard for the possible side effects or issues that may occur. People (generally speaking) should really educate themselves on the risks involved with anything they inject into their bodies. I’m sorry that happened to you, and I hope you’re able to find a solution.

[@luzguerrero1530]

Sorry to hear that. Love to you❤

[@elizmal533]

Sorry to hear of ur adverse effect. I too had a terrible result from getting a fraxel laser treatment for two small sized sun spots on my cheeks. After fraxel I now have large hyperpigmentation spots on both sides of my face!!! I’ve never had issues with the sun or melasma from pregnancy but this treatment ruined my face!! I’ve tinted my car windows, black out curtains at home, wear a large brim hat everyday while outdoors and layer sunblock creams several times a day. I’ve managed to diminish the hyp. quite a bit, but It’s a daily battle well, more like a lifestyle!! Lesson learned. I don’t think I’d ever do ANY of these treatments. Too scared!!

Wonderful and informative. I am 71 and had my first facelift at 58. I resisted botox for 12 years😅. After my second facelift two years ago (yes, they don’t last forever) I agreed to botox in my forehead and never looked back. Anyone who is wavering should consider it. Even at my age, those forehead wrinkles are gone when my forehead muscles are relaxed and the botox is wearing off. It takes a skilled village and a line item in my budget to look refreshed! The bonus of all of this is no one asks “are you ok? You look so tired” anymore. ❤

[@janapeony8561]

[@heathergasol569]

May I ask how long the Botox lasts approximately? I just turned 61. I’ve never had anything done. However, I’m getting two forehead lines so I’m hoping it’s not too late. After a while, skincare just doesn’t work. Plus, I have such sensitive skin I can’t use Retinoids. Thank you so much.🙌🙌🙌

[@dibright1445]

Nothing is better than an honest Dr. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with you having this done. My goodness, you’re the Dr. and who wants to go to one that first isn’t honest and second one that doesn’t care just do what the patient wants and get them out of here. Sadly there are Dr’s who do this. I worked for a urologist for many years and sadly he would get patients who went to a non specialist to have various surgeries done like a hernia and he would have to go back in and fix the problem. He was the absolute best doctor and I’m not just saying that, he really was. He was so busy because he was such a great doctor and person. I have to say that you have the most Beautiful skin and I’m going to look through your videos because I’m sure you have some where you talk about your skincare products and routine. This was such a great tutorial and I appreciate your honesty. I know I wouldn’t hesitate to have you as my doctor if I lived in California. ❤

I'm 62 and have been blessed with great skin and hair most of my life. I am now on an intensive skin and healthcare journey as a mature "novice," learning how to deal with my postmenopausal skin and body. I've recently dealt with Perioral dermatitis and some other specific things which first brought me to your channel, and your advice has been extremely helpful.

I’m 74 and have had a brow lift at 50 and a facelift at 60. Have had three laser procedures also at 50, 60 and 70. So at my age, I’m just through with surgery. But I started getting Botox around 6 years ago and it’s the best! I love my Botox. I have an injured lower lip also and had filler a couple of times, but now I just need the Botox in my chin to even it out. I also find the lack of symmetry really is what bugs me and Botox is so great for that! Your video on this was really good!!!

[@vroomgc]

What type of brow lift did u have and how did you feel it turned out and what was the recovery like

[@funsizedi88]

Thanks for sharing. Would you have done your face-lift sooner or was the brow lift enough to hold you over? Did you have jowling/under chin fay that made you want the face lift? I'm 35 but a face-lift is something I will have to start saving for now if I want it at 50. So I've been doing a lot of research and opened a high yield savings account. Baring any crazy emergencies that cannot be covered otherwise, I should have enough by 45(as I'm assuming $50k for facelift w/the research I've been doing but will keep checking and changing my goal as needed).

[@pamorama]

Wow, do I wish I could find an injector as thoughtful as you. I’ve gone to so many and I have two people that I really like, but this level of detail and knowledge of facial musculature is next level. Thank you for sharing.

I’m not to judge, but need to express my feelings: I’m amazed and puzzled : I’m 56 and until couple years ago I did not know Botox and dermal fillers even existed !I was happy with the way I looked, understood beauty has many variations. Ok I see some signs of aging now, but I look with curiosity, not criticism. Are we being conditioned to be ‘imperfect’, needing to be ‘fixed’ or ‘beautified’ ( because it feeds the economy)? Or, maybe I’m ’old- fashioned’? 🤔

[@AddisonLee-gw5nw]

Have you adjusted your diet since your 20s or 30s? Do you color your hair? Do you exercise differently than you did as a younger woman? Do you take vitamins or supplements that you didn’t when you were younger?

[@samarittan9308]

Yes, we have been conditioned as a culture to accept only youth as beautiful. The majority of men consider older women less desirable than younger women. Thus we spend billions of dollars and risk our health frantically trying to gain the approval of men. And before you say that it isn't true, "I do it for myself" . Please try to ask yourself why this makes you feel better? Most likely you'll come to the conclusion that it's because you have subconsciously internalized society's message that your value is based on your youthful appearance. Rejection of our appearance as we age is really a result of external pressure on us. It takes a brave woman to age gracefully.

[@Michellebellaa]

It's brainwashing.... I watch my coworkers go broke trying to look a certain way! I'm not going to give money to a society of people who I don't care if they do or don't notice I am 53. I'm 53 and full of joy with out spending money on cosmetic procedures. I'm not trying to be unkind at all but for me and in my opinion this is way too much to concern yourself with.

[@kathleens3848]

I think as you get older you feel more comfortable with yourself and then you realize that your skin is not cooperating and that’s where Botox comes in I’m a very animated person and unfortunately that had caused major lines in my face and aged me 10 years so for me, it’s totally worth it. I never thought I would do it but I’m so glad I do.

[@KariVance66]

You could say it’s yet another form of oppression for women. You don’t see men doing this (generally speaking).. do ya?? Of course not. Because we are told youthfulness is superior to an ‘aging’ face. Why?? It’s sad really. I’m 58 and I am certainly not wrinkle free. To me it’s a waste of my energies, my focus in life and portrays a non authentic face to the world. I am aging and grateful for that! I’d rather focus outward at other things.

One of your best videos yet!! I literally had my first round of Sculptra this morning at 60 yoa. I was a nervous wreck, but my injector was fantastic! She put numbing cream first, then used lidocaine with the Sculptra product and I had very minimal discomfort and I'm a wimp! Im scheduled for round two in 7 weeks and now I'm not nervous for it. She used a canula for the Sculptra. She used two vials today, but may only need one the next time. I'm having one or two more treatments, depending on the look I'm going for. I just want to naturally look my best and I hope this will achieve my goals without a facelift. Once the Sculptra is completed, we'll discuss very little filler in my nasolabial folds and some minimal lip filler to smooth out my lips and lines. I'll then get my Sculpta maintenace once a year, and of course continue Dysport a couple times a year. Any other mature ladies have success with Sculptra? Wish I was more educated and had the money to do this stuff at a younger age. Thanks Dr. Sam!

[@aloalo-ākala]

I'm just a few years younger than you, and I love Sculptra! I started with 2 vials last November and then had two more appointments (spaced out about 8 weeks apart) of 2 vials each. I was concerned about marionette and nasiolabial folds as well as some hereditary jowls that were starting to form. My injector (I see a PA) said replacing volume had to start at my temples and then go across my cheeks, which would then provide lift to help alleviate those issues. And it's worked! Even now, quite a few months after my last appointment, I still feel like my face is lifting ever so slightly and my jowls are continuing to dissipate. And the added volume is very subtle and doesn't look like something foreign in my face -- because it's not, as it's my own body's collagen. I will follow my PA's recommendations for Sculptra maintenance, which will likely be a vial or so every year. I still love me some Botox, but my Sculptra results have just blown me away.

My nerves obviously are completely messed up, so I don’t think it could be done.

I started getting Botox and filler at 47. Really just to correct asymmetry and a heavy brow that stands out on camera/Zoom. I’ve been happy with the results and no one but me knows. I look like myself, but rested. An interesting tip my injector pointed out is that for people who don’t others to know they have had injections, she goes very light on crows feet, in general, because it’s one area that can “give it away” if someone has Botox since once most people are in their 50’s they have some crows feet, no matter what. I took pictures of myself as a teenager to my consultation and the injector said that was helpful.

[@momtonolie]

Dr. Sam, question... I recently started getting my platismyal muscles treated with Botox, however, she only injects the bands (2 on each side) and not above on the jawline like you demonstrated. Could you explain how that affects the area differently? I want to get the full jaw lifting/sharpening effects. This video is FABULOUS, by the way. 🤩 THANK YOU‼️

Very, very interesting. I didn’t realize how much could be done with Botox to beautify, and not just relax the skin. I learned a lot today, thanks! It was very good of you to make this video and educate us, even though you know you’re going to get flack from many people.

[@Luna11420]

This is the best video ive seen explaining botox and filler! Saving this for future reference!

[@ericachitwood2465]

Mad respect for you. I don't know you I've never watched your videos I just happened to stumble on your Channel. First of all you are extremely smart. I don't mean just necessarily book smart. The way you communicate I can tell you have some common sense. You seem also very personable. This is one of the best videos I have seen about botox. Good for you keep up the good content. I wish I lived closer to you you would definitely be on my list of doctors. And trust this I am extremely picky. The fact that I'm even leaving a comment is a rarity. I usually only leave a comment when I have something to say.

[@anitamiko9975]

Thank you for doing this video. Please don’t let any negative comments prevent you for going into such topics in detail. Because those of us here to learn appreciate the deep dives. Also, could you please do a video in what type of zinc to take, when and how for extending Botox results. That Short on this was such a teaser. It sent me down the rabbit hole and I tested it prior to my injections. But curious if I did it right. 😘

This video is SO good !! It’s gonna blow up. Honesty + very freaking informative !!

Very useful video, thanks a lot for being so transparent and pedagogical 😌

I love the transparency on this channel

[@stillwithyou7072]

Came here from a James Welsh video who loves your Prequel line. Wow, I’m so impressed, thank you for sharing this. It’s really helpful and you look amazing.

[@heidibursch1436]

Fascinating and honest! Thank you so much for sharing this inside look into how you stay looking so amazing. I honestly had no clue about all of the types of fillers and Botox that are available.

[@jillcomeau-laudisa]

I totally appreciate what you've shown/explained to us. Transparency is key, and you are obviously very good at what you do without the huge ego. You want the best for people.

[@RubyClementi]

Thanks for your honesty. What are your thoughts on fillers blocking the lymphatic channels and never fully dissolving? Is it true that Botox can cause bone loss?

[@marinatejerogarcia]

I did the sculptra ones below my cheeks because I lost a lot of weight for my wedding, and the pain of the needle going through and under the skin was the worst of my life. Even with local anaesthetic! Worse than a nipple piercing. 0/10 recommend. Won't ever do it again. How that gets administered is so radically different in pain levels compared to botox feeling like a second-long pinch. Thanks for the video, love your content!

[@grnddesign]

Great video. Appreciate your thoroughness & transparency & willingness to draw on your face for us

[@TessMarque7]

I’m 59 I want to get Botox & filler . You really cleared up my concerns . Thank you so much . ❤

[@CRCC830]

lip flip, masseters, and chin filler are my only routine procedures. these three really helped improve my self esteem

Only? 😂😂😂😂😂

​@@darnitthelma4247It is really not a lot. Compared to what other people do to themselves.

[@taylormartin271]

As a registered nurse injector I was so excited to hear your input and learn where you've had your injections! You look amazing and I totally agree with your philosophy. I always tell my patients that the best injectable is undetectable. There are so many beautiful and natural-looking people with filler but you'd never know- unfortunately we only detect filler in those who are overdone.

[@Loungecath]

So informative! Now wishing I lived in Northern California to have you as my dermatologist/injector!

[@ET-hv2yk]

One of the best videos on Botox ever - very insightful and transparent - thank you for all the advice

[@yogawithmerither]

Thank you for sharing! I love that you explain your thought process of where you inject and why 😊

[@joannapasawska7629]

Thank you for such a honest and informative video! Would you also consider making one for more of a "heavy" treating of post acne scars? Peels, lasers, fillers etc..there are so many, it's quite confusing 🙈

[@lesliedumont2241]

Dr. Ellis, I’m wondering what you think about fat injections. I’m about to get a facelift and the surgeon recommended them. Do they last? Do they migrate or change in any way? Thanks for the video!

[@lottychatterton6888]

So kind of you to be so transparent. Thank you. Do you have any advise on lines under eyes, so tear trough area?

[@kim-mr7oh]

it’s so interesting and innovative to see all the placements you put botox in!! i would still definitely never put anything other than botox into my face though! fillers are a no no

[@katerynagalas5570]

This is the most helpful video on injections. Thank you so much for making it! All the little tweaks to your beautiful face are so subtle and look so natural! If I lived in Northern California, I'd seek to see you :)

[@rebeccap223]

Thank you so much for showing us! It is very helpful and I wish more people on KZbin offered to show because it does helps us learn more and decide what we can or would like to have as well to look and feel beautiful! ❤

[@IncandescentLightbulb00]

This is amazing! I have gotten some injections that I’ve been very happy with but I haven’t thought about this nuanced approach to the entire face and I will definitely have a discussion with my injector about it.

[@J_LOVES_ME]

So, I know someone who had botox in their neck, and it turned into a nightmare. She couldn't swallow, couldn't talk, it was really scary. Later on we learned that sometimes people end up in the hospital on feeding tubes until it goes away. So my advice to viewers of this is to make SURE your doctor knows what they're doing.

[@ComfortASMRalice]

Holy $h!t

[@Peanut_taco_muffin]

Fillers and Botox CAN have drastic results, but it’s very uncommon- but yes, make sure your dermatologist is board certified (like Dr Ellis 😊)

[@J_LOVES_ME]

@@Peanut_taco_muffin That is my advice for sure. Never go to a "Botox Party" where some random person is injecting you.

[@laurahall3094]

That can happen to ANYONE

[@user-xt7ws5wd2p]

This makes me so much less apprehensive about injectables. Thanks giving an example of what someone might get! Please tell us other ways people use injectables even if you personally don’t. Also, how to know when something is really only addressable with surgery . . . and then a series on what surgeries are available 😆. I literally only know the term facelift, and no idea what that really is.

[@RamblingRikers]

I would have never guessed that you had Botox you do a beautiful job. Thank you for your honesty I am going to get Botox for the first time in my 11 lines between my eyebrows next weekend. I’m excited and nervous. Also thank you for your FABULOUS skincare line I use the cleanser and ceramide cream everyday. ❤
