why I stopped filling faces...

If slimmer faces are more attractive, then what are we doing filling faces with dermal filler? Dr. Gavin Chan explains.

@@kwizatzhannahrach your face looks feminine so you likely have the hormones/genetics for a curvy figure. If you're shaped like a stick, It's likely due to a lack of muscle/body fat not genetics.

[@juliajohansson7058]

Exactly, finally the true approach to what fillers actually does.

[@TheJuiceor]

@Tamara Charm no,don't get a facelift,completely unnecessary. For under eyes hollows you can have your own fat transfered under your eyes for a longer effect.

[@alamc200]

Tamara: Pay attention. If you listen, he talks about that at about 5:43. He said just very little filler will help smooth out that hollow area under the eyes. He just a very small amount of filler.

[@TheJuiceor]

@Tamara Charm I read that the fat lasts much longer than fillers and it is natural. It can last for years whereas filler is only good for 1. Plus you are not injecting any bad chemicals. I would encourage you to read about it,I would much preffer the fat.I read couple of articles of people being happy with the fat and I also read about people regretting the fillers. I think it is better to talk to professionals,this is just my opinion

[@TheJuiceor]

@Tamara Charm I mean, the fillers also have side effects. If done incorrectly it can even cause blindness . I think you should do some research on your own and then get at least 2 professional opinions. Just make sure that you can trust the doctor who gives you advice,because some of them will advice you to get the fat injection just because it is more expensive. I am interested in getting it too,but probably not these couple years. Obviously ,anything invasive can have some consequences,how serious and whether they are reversible are important questions to consider

I think they don’t realize that the filler is still there after being spread oit and losing definition. So maybe they think it’s their own face and wants more of that first filler definition withour realising it will only get worse 😩
