It seems like everyone these days is talking about dermal fillers and injections. You see the movie stars and A-listers with over plumped lips and cheeks, frozen foreheads and mouths.
You think none of this looks natural, and you’re right: quite a bit of looks like it was done by a someone without an artistic eye. Even most plastic and cosmetic surgeons agree with that observation. So why should you even consider dermal fillers or a neurotoxin injected into your face?
There are three main reasons to consider getting injections. But the trick is to get the timing right.
- To help treat a medical condition. Botox, for instance, can help migraines, TMJ disorder, eye spasms, and even overactive bladders! You may have to see your GP for a referral for this treatment.
- Special occasions where there will be pictures: If you are generally happy with your appearance, but want to look especially great for an event or pictures, injections could help. Botox might smooth out the wrinkles between your eyes, and a filler, applied judiciously, could give volume to thinning lips. You’ll look stunning, and more youthful for your reunion or wedding party.
- Trying a new look before deciding on surgery. If you’re planning to have implants or a facelift, the best way to see what you’ll look like after is to have injections several months before. This gives you enough time to adjust to the new look and determine if any aspect should be changed.
