What a voice of reason! Thank you so much for this video. I'm 46 and have seen amazing changes with my skin care regimen, daily sunscreen, tretinoin, copper peptides, Beauty sleep, eating lots of vegetables, supplements, and red light therapy. My face is gone from wrinkled and saggy to smooth and plump again. It's really remarkable that we can rebuild collagen and elastin over the course of time with these things
It’s wonderful that you have seen such improvement! May I ask what brand of copper peptides you use? I would love to try them out. Thank you for sharing your regimen. 😊
After thinking over a year! I got half syringe on both of my cheeks because I been sick and lost a lot volume on my cheek . I look sick and tired! Im 32 years old and I feel refreshed now! I’m happy with it!
This is true. My own mother is in her late 60’s and has already gotten facelifts, cheekfiller, mini lifts, neck lift, eyebrow lift, eye lifts ect. And NOW is seeing that coesmetic procedures are half the battle. Sunscreen, moisturizing, skin texture and fine lines speak louder than plastic surgery! Maintenance is more important than TUNE UPS!
I love how upfront you are about the outcomes from cosmetic procedures. I do think our society has normalized to the point that people just consider them casually without pondering the effects of said procedures.
fillers in my cheeks was the best thing that could have ever been invented after I lost 14 lbs and lost volume in my face. I'm 68 and look quite a bit younger - because of fillers.
Me too!! 51 and have had great success with them but the key I think is to use them moderately to enhance rather than make any huge changes and not to use them too often.
@@SG-wq4rm voluma in my cheeks. I think 1 cc per cheek. I got it about 18 months ago and then I asked to get a little more about six months after that , but it wasnt as much. It lasts quite a long time _ yesterday a guy I hadnt seen in a while really told me how great I look - trust me - it's the filler lol.
I’m 56 and have gotten filler in the past for smile lines (nasolabial) that made me look older. It’s been years and I have no more smile lines. Filler can help produce collagen too. I also get lip filler once a year to help with that deflated, aging lip look. Some people have a negative opinion about facial procedures to look younger, but then, have no issues with getting their hair done cut, color, etc..to look better and younger…nails, makeup, eyelashes, pedicures…😐
K, if that's what you want to do, that's your choice, but fillers are tiny plastic particles, and they don't produce collagen. Only your natural skin, and body, can do that. I'm a licensed esthetician, and whomever told you that, is lying to you. It's not a negative "feeling towards facial procedures", but actual knowledge of what the product is, what happens to it over the years, and how it effects your skin, and your body over time.
@@elisaastorino2881 , exactly! People will say anything to try to justify whatever possible damage they're doing to their body. The fact that we've gotten to the point in society where some people will do anything, even harm themselves long term, to look younger, is crazy!
@@daynad8104 You are thinking of PMMA fillers which contain tiny plastic beads. Hyaluronic acid fillers do not contain plastic. Some fillers do stimulate the body to produce collagen.
@@elisaastorino2881 I mean Brazilian blowouts cause cancer but people still get them. The fumes from nail polish, hair dyes etc are irritants that can cause damage to airways. 🤷🏽♀️ each to their own.
Once again, thank you for being so open and informative. Not everyone is willing to share their expertise and professional opinion so freely! I find you to be genuine and very accepting of everyone's personal choices.
Well said , I don’t have any . I’m 40 …. I love the more nature route. Aging beautifully on a budget over here lol exersize, Spf, natural skincare products and mostly healthy skin loving foods . More young girls need to watch this !
I was going to tell her the same thing... "Let's talk when you hit 50." I looked pretty amazing at 40. My 40s were the time I looked the youngest for my age, after a lifetime of looking more mature. Things changed drastically as I neared 50. Now, I want a facelift, but don't have the money or the guts.
@@dammar117 ugh don’t do it . I’m sure your beautiful just the way you are . Confidence is so beautiful no matter what age you are . I know you think I have it made at 40 and yeah my skin is still pretty good , not perfect. Of course as a women I would love to look like I did at 25 ! Lol but that’s not the way this life is . I just always want to be happy in my skin and proud of my looks even with my wrinkles, sun spots ect….. without work done . I think taking care of yourself is important and genes play a huge role . ✌️ & 💕
SAme here! I'm 43. I don't like the idea of aging--we've been young all this time and now all of a sudden we're "old"! Eating foods that fight inflammation help too. I love cucumber and avocado for this reason so I'm healthy from the inside out, and avoiding sugars and processed foods really helps too.
I’m 30 and I had filler to get rid of my smile lines, the one side was a lot more prominent and it was all I noticed when I looked in the mirror. I’d lost a bit of volume in my face due to sudden weight loss/poor lifestyle in my early 20’s. The filler has lasted really well (had it done in Jan) I will need a top up soon on the ‘bad’ side, but I’m happy with the results😊
You are Jung , you should not need this tipe of things jet. There are face facial massages that help you to keep your skin stronger and longer healthy.
@Jaya Patil If you read my comment, I stated that I lost fat in my face, leaving me with noticeable lines. You can’t even tell I’ve had filler, but it’s made a difference to ME, and how I feel about myself.
I've been getting lip filler for years, because I had thin lips. I really love the difference it's made, but I do get only .5ml at a time, and I do get it dissolved every once in a while. I'd recommend finding someone with an eye for aesthetics.
I get botox when my eye lids get droopy and get some fillers, only 2 times a year that’s all I can afford. I’ve got a great girl who does it so good and all looks very natural and not that over the top noticeable. I love it and makes me feel better about myself. I don’t see anything wrong with it at all.
I get .5 in my lips as well. I got tired of looking at my wrinkled lips, lipstick looks better on smooth lips. I don’t see anything wrong with botox or fillers. It’s a persons own business
@@ninalou4629 After 3 fills, the next appointment, I get it dissolved. For me, it tends to migrate, and it's visible if I keep filling it after the third time.
It’s easy to feel superior and invincible and talk about aging naturally and embracing aging in your 40s and even early 50s. I was cruising in my early 50s and never did a procedure until I hit menopause at 55 and that was an ugly year when with no changes in habits ( and my habits are healthy) I ve aged visibly and stopped recognizing myself. For the first time I did a filler around my mouth.. no side effects and changes are subtle. I hope it will last up to 2 years and then I will decide. I started hormone replacement and taking collagen, plus red light therapy. Hope it will help!
I loved this video because I've been wanting fillers for so many years now (under eye hollowness) & everytime I am about to sign the dotted line, my gut says hold off so it's so funny how much of this video I can relate. Thank you so so much! New subscriber to your channel :)
Me too but i decided not to risk my eyes. I got an eye rejuvenator machine its microcurrent form MBK it made a very nice difference but it takes about 3 months to see results and it feels really relaxing
Great informative video! I totally agree with your realistic approach! I don't have any and I'm 52 .Diligent skincare,plenty of sunscreen, hydration and diet low in sugar make huge improvements! Plus I see all these people looking the same which is bizarre lol.
It’s so refreshing to hear a dermatologist speak about this! Thank you so much! I was just having a conversation the other day with my S.O. That it’s a shame we’re now living in a society where everyone wants to look the same. We just came back from a trip and flying from LA where the flight attendants all had the same nose, lips, and chin. It was alarming. I love that we humans look different and I wish people would just embrace the beauty of their own unique face! I also am a firm believer of ‘aging is a privilege’ my husband died at the age of 35 so I embrace that I’m nearing 40 and I don’t mind if I’m starting to show it. Although thanks to your budget friendly product recommendations-people think I’m in my 20’s! Thank you again for your honesty and the information you provide us all! Love your channel!
I am a medical professional almost 60 and agree with you -aging is a privilege. I've cared for many that did not get to grow older. We are supposed to look older as we age.. eating well, exercise, rest, good skin care make a difference..
Your integrity and willingness to impart this critical information is wonderful. I realized a while back procedures aren't an option for me. At 55 my skin texture and color changes are actually what bother me the most. Losing the fresh glow I've enjoyed (thanks menopause), is tough. I'm learning how to care for my skin as it changes. You're my guide and I tell all my friends about your channel. Thank you so much!
Wow, you’re such a blessing to the medical (and UA-cam community)! I wish there was more transparency in the medical community about ALL of the risks of these treatments. That’s why you and the Victorian Cosmetic Institute are my favorite ❤ He shared a video few years ago where they did a study about how long dermal fillers really last. And even the “temporary” ones can last A LOT longer than most people thing (like years longer).
Thanks for your honesty and I think many have developed body dysmorphia. It’s very sad. Some of these celebrities don’t just look different than themselves , they look weird. No lines , but weird. I saw a lady yesterday that had this look and it was horrific. You can spot the 50 plus year old a mile away when they have all that crap done. I started down the rabbit hole and got out of it. I prefer spending my money on awesome trips and enjoying whatever I have here! I take care of myself. I eat well and I work out , I use good products and lots of sunscreen. I still get told that I look like my daughter’s sister and in well in my 50’s. I do have awful 11’s, but I am using frownies now. I did love Botox for them, but started to fear all that could go wrong if I keep using it. I worry about atrophy and such. Or shifting because I swear I had a little eye lid droop once. It was weird. Anyway thanks for all you do to help us older ladies keep it real.
Thank you for starting the video by stating that we all don't need filler! I respect everyone's choice and we don't need to look like the real housewives of wherever xxx
Have you had fat transfer by any chance? I only ask because it does look like you have had filler. I'm, wondering how you maintained the volume in your cheeks? It also looks like you have larger lips.. any tips for naturally doing this without filler? 🙏
Thank you for this 🙏 Doing fillers and botox has become so normal that it's really hard to remember that you really don't need them. I think we get so used to see bigger lips and plumper cheeks that everything else look "old and tired". But of course, there's also nothing wrong with getting fillers - if that makes you feel better 🤗
OMG I was thinking to use fillers for my black circles, but now with this info doesn't worth the risk I guess. Social media makes the illusion that you can do everything to look great without consequences, thanks for sharing! And I would like to know if you can teach us how to do a deeper cleaning in our face at home, because I don't use make up and clean my face every day, and still appearing a lot of pimples, i feel like I need to do a better cleaning or something. Thank you!
It’s extremely rare though! I hate when they try to scare you! I’ve had multiple fillers and touch ups under my eyes! It looks beautiful I don’t wear concealer anymore! Go with someone reputable and don’t even worry about that
@@Kensie122 I went to a professional medical conference on fillers and , yes, it does happen. It happened to one of the presenters there, and he is an experienced injector. I don’t have under-eye fillers for that reason. The risk/reward is too high for me. You do you, but this information is important for prospective patients to know. I am glad that Dr Locke is willing to publicly discuss this.
@@Kensie122 For me doesn't worth the risk, is gonna disappear in a some months anyway, but no one is gonna give you you sight back if you get bad luck, and is also expensive
I get sculptra and dysport, I look very natural. Sorry not sorry. I love it. I also do skin care microneedling chemical peels. Use retin A basic moisturizer abd spf every day. I drink lots of water eat healthy food and get plenty of exercise. 😉 To be fair the reason why I get sculptra is because I think I look way to Gaunt in the face from a lot of and years if exercise and clean eating. Low in body fat from my face down to my hips. If I gain Weight I just end up with larger legs. I don't like my thick thighs so need something to help my face! Works for me. Has helped with my dry skin as well. Really depends on your goals.
After seeing your face today, moving, expressing, unique to your natural facial movements, after watching a few other derm videos where the women have comparatively very little expression… and all look the same… I have decided I dont want to get filler and will be getting botox less often. You look real and much more relatable, expressive, and w emotion. Emotion ❤️
I researched filler for a while. But.. I didn’t like the results I saw on many other people. Then I discovered Sculptra. And decided I wanted my body to produce collagen and I wanted a slow fix. I’m loving it! So happy I passed on fillers
I want sculptra too but dont know where to go. Did you notice a difference right away. I heard it takes up to 6 months to see a change. I want cheek filler
@@kellyn7184 i probably may have to get filler. I have nooo cheekbone side profile so a little difference wont do much. I want thinking of getting sculptra 3 times in the cheek area but idk if it will puff out my cheeks😭 i really want a high cheekbone look
@@kellyn7184 i know gurl! Im scared!! I dont want filler but i want some tyle of cheekbone. I have none!! My inner cheeks are full but thats about it. Maybe i should just get cheek implants. I love your cheeks in your profile picture !! I would love just some out cheekbone structure like yours. So maybe i just need face fat transfer or cheek implants
Thank you! I don't really have the $ for it anyway. I do facial exercises instead. It does take a lot of practice, and it can be time consuming. Your advice is so on point and very encouraging 👍
I will just age gracefully lol nobody can stop aging 😆 I’m 46 and I think I looked good in my age I never have any Botox 😆 just coconut oil 😬 it’s cheaper and no side effects no wrinkle much yet
Thank u SO MUCH for being honest and upfront w the full realities not just the most common. This is a huge problem in medicine that it is barelh skimmed if ever spoken about but it is in the fine fine print hidden away. Its not cool
On my second time getting nasolabial filler, I ended up wity hemosiderin staining in two spots. Never knew this was a possibility and now my complexion is marred.😢
and what is your age, I never thought about any of this and looked well under my age till about 55, now at 62, I do see I need something, I think ok I'm old, I'm a grandma, just age gracefully, but I look in the mirror and I don't look like myself and know it's all down here from here!
Same here I am 63 eat super healthy, lift weights 4 x week I am 104 lbs and my husband says that I look much better than I was in my 30's 🤣🤣🤣 but I noticed that none of that helped my wrinkles around my eyes, jawline and marionette lines! So last week I got botox and fillers and wow I look so refresh love it! My Dr. was very conservative actually I wanted more but he said that I wouldn't look good, he was right! Eating right, exercising, no smoking helps the texture of your skin but the wrinkles will appear with the age. I am so happy with the results and my husband is happy that I am happy 😊
So PRP and stem cell facials seems like the safe option. No fillers and no distortion no blockages. I was due to have collagen filler and my under eyes done tomorrow by a messotherapist. Im a 35 year old guy who looks about 28 or a little younger even. Some people tell me 25. Deffo going for PRP even though the lady told me collagen filler is better.
I was never going to do this anyway because money and this is such a luxury service but I follow someone on ig who frequently posts about her getting fillers and how great of an experience it is. The moment I saw about the occlusion I was like OH HELL NO. Not worth it. At all.
Can you please talk about Sculptra and threads as an alternative to filler. I’m not ready for the filler route but would like to rebuild collagen a little more naturally.
@@Fran-fd6wu I use silhouette lift threads also. I have six stitches in my face. So far, this is my best solution. Fillers distorted my eyes and made them look slanted and smaller. I noticed this in photographs and I became upset. I stopped using them, although juvederm was the last one used and it seemed to be less of a problem for my eyes. Now I use threads to lift the face. How happy are you with silhouette lift?
@@lydiadugan8368 it has definitely made my face less hollow and lifted my whole face, made my jawline sharper. I went for three threads in each side but next time I want more and under my chin too! I think this is the best option after the best thing, a facelift. I'm hope to hold of for one of those for another 4/5 years!! I'm glad u found the threadlift good :)
I had botox last week and Iove it as usual, this week I had fillers on my marionettes lines I couldn't take it anymore! I looked like I was always mad the doctor's assistant applied a numbing cream and to be honest I felt just a little poke I had a tiny bruise when I arrived home my husband thought that I didn't have any fillers the doctor did a great job! I look good (my husband says) and I am very happy with the results my advice is if that make you happy and can afford it then go ahead as long as you choose the right professional my doctor was very conservative she didn't want to put too much. Every day there are serious risks in our lives when we drive, fly or walk just having a positive attitude and every thing is going to be Ok.😉
Thank you. Such a good point about the filler “creep” over time - even twice a year - that leads to a strange look. Makes sense of why facial distortion over time doesn’t seem as noticeable to the user. Photo of beautiful Courtney Cox was such a good example.
I do Loriel fillers over the counter. I lather olive oil all my face, then, I use retinol revitalift triple cream, vollume daytime filler, pepsides, retinol drops, and hydrochloric drops. Helpful! For my arms, I use anti crepe cream from Roc. I also use the water based vitamin craw from roc.
There is nothing wrong with these procedures if we want to we still love ourselves with or without before and after and always but of course everything should be in moderate things get bad when it gets addictive
Great video. Thanks for reminding women that it is ok to age!!! I think a lot of women are ignoring wellness in their anti-aging regimens. Also, I have seen other dermatologists on YT who are recommending fillers less frequently, and not filling certain areas of the face at all.
Yes, aging is allowed. But: A. You are not supposed to age as they want to make you think. That is, the natural appearance of women is supposed to be much younger than what is usually presented to us in the media. I've researched this a lot, and they've been trying to present 50 yo woman as 80 yo, 40-year-old women as 60+ at least... and 30-year-old women as 50+... And who has an interest in presenting us like this? Mainly men. Men also do everything to make you age quickly. This includes brainwashing to get married. They want you to get married because it ages you. And there's a long list of things that make women look decades older than they are. B. Many of the procedures can age you and not rejuvenate you at all. Remember - naturally 45 women should actually look the same as 25. They will never tell you this, because they want you to live with a nocebo effect. All the women i know who didnt believe those lies ...look the same as 20 years ago...but not because of surgeries or subliminal bs. Just because it's netural. And dont get married!
Well, I really am a little worried about what to do now! I'm in need of help for my marionette lines and today was the first visit to a doc consult . I was interested in fillers but very worried about side effects ,such as infections and Lumps . Now I'm starting to think about laser or mini face lift . One thing I truly know is I must research and not be hasty
Wow, I feel so much better that I haven't been able to get any of these procedures done! I live in Israel and the women are gorgeous here but everyone is getting fillers and botox like crazy, it's tacky at a certain point. I am trying to accept aging while taking care the best I can! Wow, thank you for caring for us out here in this crazy world!
What do you recommend for mild volume loss? Lasers? I’m 44 and haven’t used Botox or fillers. I am nervous to use Botox since it’s a neurotoxin. Fillers seem to look good when someone initially uses it but over time it’s noticeable.
Thank you! Great video! I waited months for appt with top injector under a dermo supervision in my area for lip filler before my granddaughter’s wedding. I was very pleased with creases around my mouth being gone, but my lips didn’t really look that different. I hated the procedure when numbing cream left me drooling all over my self & mumbling incoherently. It’s been over year now & all effects are gone, except a painful knot in my top lip & knot in middle of bottom lip. I went back immediately for massage of area & dissolver, but had no effect. I now really hate my lips and have no one to blame but myself for being so vain!
EXACTLY!! 🏆🥰 BRAVO Dr Locke! I concur ... I would say to everyone .. all skin enthusiasts, .. STOP SECOND GUESSING YOURSELF! ... Pay attention to the red flags your getting! It's MORE than okay to NOT get fillers!! Because I sense very strongly, that once you start, .. IT'S NEVER ENOUGH!! .. And that's not worth your peace of mind!! ❤️❤️❤️ Stay healthy people! Take excellent care of your skin in all aspects ... nutrition, regular exercise, plenty of sleep and lots of water, & last but certainly not least ... keep your faith front and center!! 💪🤗✝️🙏
A little bit of filler with the right angles and proportions looks great, and can still be natural looking. It looks bad when there is too much and not placed in the right area.
I appreciate that you are encouraging people to take the natural approach to their looks. But I have never been attractive because I have a week chin and sunken cheeks and I've had them my whole life. I've been considering getting corrective jaw surgery but it's so expensive. I will probably get fillers as a more affordable alternative.
How do you like cutting out your Vit C in the AM and replacing it with Bakuchiol so far? :) I've begun doing the same as anti-aging is a primary concern of mine
Filler can last a lot longer than stated here. Research shows it can last years and years not just 3 months to 18 months. And it often migrates over time and actually pulls down your face when you were looking to lift.
Whooo Maren, you are so amazing... thanks a lot. We really need people like you... you are exactly what I was looking for.... thank you so much for your advice and honesty 💛🙏
You know what else is great for looking young? A great haircut and style that suits your face shape! It can make a long face look more round in seconds
I always thought that the filler stretches the skin, and as you age you need more of it, and you will always be dependent on it because if you stop it, the skin is stretched out, then your skin looks worse than if you did nothing. Look at Courtney Cox. Now she has a really long face.
I think it just distorts your perception kind of like a facial dysmorphia effect. In reality when you look back in 10 years that “droopier” face actually wasn’t so bad esp when you’re 70 years old 😂
Fillers before your facelift is a waste of money. I get Voluma & Juvederm now to maintain my high SMAS lower face & necklift results. It has worked well for me.
Great info! I’m 53 and don’t really have any wrinkles, but I did just have a dental procedure done on my front teeth that has changed my lips’ smile “performance” and I’m not into it. I’ve been thinking about a lip flip. I know it needs to be done repeatedly and I’ve never had a single injection in my face. Thoughts on countering dental work changes?
You're so brilliant. Thank you so much for this take, my cosmetic injector who does my botox is ALWAYS pressuring me to get to filler and recently I've started to seriously consider it even though I always swore I'd never get it. After watching this, I am now going to stick to just botox and look for a new injector...shame you don't live in Melbourne lol
Thank you Dr but could you kindly share alternatives for a slim / no fat face that lost volume and would like to have it plumped without injections but opened to other procedures . Thanks
I’m 40 and have had 30 units of Newtox to my 11 lines and forehead and have seen incredible results. The only other tweakment I have had was 1 syringe of lip filler 7 months ago for a subtle result. I feel like this has been the perfect amount and will be getting my lips “topped up” next month. Skin care and other preventative methods are key to aging gracefully!!
Thank you for the info, i got into an argument about fillers with someone online.. It pains me how little they know about fillers yet they are giving people fillers themselves! I just happen to watch a lot of medical shows, including ones on plastic surgery and i knew that i was correct after a quick Google search as well.. Do vet, people!
I’ve thought about getting under eye filler to fix my hollows. I’ve lost a lot of volume but have heard horror stories. Not sure what the alternatives are or if you recommend staying away from this option?
I have under eye filler and it looks really natural. I love it but I believe there are lasers out there as an alternative. Dr. Karam on UA-cam may have done this topic. ua-cam.com/video/ebPDHrWF-jQ/v-deo.html In the future, I plan on doing eyelid surgery though.
No! Do not get fillers under the eye! Every derm I've seen and I've seen a lot, says No! I've heard fat transfer is better but my dermatologist & surgeon says No to that too.
No filler under the eyes. You want PRF gel (directly under the eye) or Sculptra around the temples and cheeks. It will spread to the under eye area over time.
Scultpra Filler is the best thing I ever did. I looked like a skeleton after years of trauma and illness. Lip filler did not go so well however. It migrated
Dr Locke, what about someone who had amazing skin but had developed hollow eyes and they have lost all their confidence and self esteem. They are broken. They won’t go out. They use tret, differin, and have a great skin care routine. Is filler or fat transfer the only real solution?
Thank you for all the wonderful information you provide to us on skin care and products that work. I have a question regarding a product that I don't know if you have previously addressed since I haven't been a 'member' to your site for very long: what are your thoughts on argeriline? What about in combination with matrixyl? How to use? TIA, "Al"
In the pictures at 4:00, her face looks exactly the same size, just droopy. I do not think it is volume loss that causes this, but skin elasticity changes. That is why filler doesn't make people look more youthful, as we can always still tell their age. It just makes them look cartoonish (Courtney Cox is a good example of this. Look how small and tight her face was in her youth, and all she did was make it look big and weird with filler)

What a voice of reason! Thank you so much for this video. I'm 46 and have seen amazing changes with my skin care regimen, daily sunscreen, tretinoin, copper peptides, Beauty sleep, eating lots of vegetables, supplements, and red light therapy. My face is gone from wrinkled and saggy to smooth and plump again. It's really remarkable that we can rebuild collagen and elastin over the course of time with these things

@@jewelsbarbie you're welcome. I use the ordinary Buffet plus copper peptides. Decium is having a sale on it right now 23% off.
After thinking over a year! I got half syringe on both of my cheeks because I been sick and lost a lot volume on my cheek . I look sick and tired! Im 32 years old and I feel refreshed now! I’m happy with it!
How long did it last?
What filler did you have in your cheeks??
Wow the most honest dermatologist I have seen yet. Thank you.
This is true. My own mother is in her late 60’s and has already gotten facelifts, cheekfiller, mini lifts, neck lift, eyebrow lift, eye lifts ect. And NOW is seeing that coesmetic procedures are half the battle. Sunscreen, moisturizing, skin texture and fine lines speak louder than plastic surgery! Maintenance is more important than TUNE UPS!
Very well said!
I love how upfront you are about the outcomes from cosmetic procedures. I do think our society has normalized to the point that people just consider them casually without pondering the effects of said procedures.
I wish men cared enough to improve their looks
Does anyone know how old The Budget Dermatologist is?
@@hawaiigirl8089actually some
Men age and look better with their aging ))) unfortunately women aren’t…
fillers in my cheeks was the best thing that could have ever been invented after I lost 14 lbs and lost volume in my face. I'm 68 and look quite a bit younger - because of fillers.
Same! I had an AMAZING experience with fillers. If you have a great person they can restore youthfulness to your face w/o looking like a pillow face.
Me too!! 51 and have had great success with them but the key I think is to use them moderately to enhance rather than make any huge changes and not to use them too often.
@Kathy Yoest
Which filler did you get it & how long do they last on your face?
@@SG-wq4rm voluma in my cheeks. I think 1 cc per cheek. I got it about 18 months ago and then I asked to get a little more about six months after that , but it wasnt as much. It lasts quite a long time _ yesterday a guy I hadnt seen in a while really told me how great I look - trust me - it's the filler lol.
@@kathyyoest4085 thank you so for your response. How much should I expect to pay for 1/2 syringe per cheek?,
I’m 56 and have gotten filler in the past for smile lines (nasolabial) that made me look older. It’s been years and I have no more smile lines. Filler can help produce collagen too. I also get lip filler once a year to help with that deflated, aging lip look.
Some people have a negative opinion about facial procedures to look younger, but then, have no issues with getting their hair done cut, color, etc..to look better and younger…nails, makeup, eyelashes, pedicures…😐
Getting your hair done, manicures, etc. don't have potentially serious issues like tissue death or blindness.
K, if that's what you want to do, that's your choice, but fillers are tiny plastic particles, and they don't produce collagen. Only your natural skin, and body, can do that. I'm a licensed esthetician, and whomever told you that, is lying to you. It's not a negative "feeling towards facial procedures", but actual knowledge of what the product is, what happens to it over the years, and how it effects your skin, and your body over time.
@@elisaastorino2881 , exactly! People will say anything to try to justify whatever possible damage they're doing to their body. The fact that we've gotten to the point in society where some people will do anything, even harm themselves long term, to look younger, is crazy!
@@daynad8104 You are thinking of PMMA fillers which contain tiny plastic beads. Hyaluronic acid fillers do not contain plastic. Some fillers do stimulate the body to produce collagen.
@@elisaastorino2881 I mean Brazilian blowouts cause cancer but people still get them. The fumes from nail polish, hair dyes etc are irritants that can cause damage to airways. 🤷🏽♀️ each to their own.
Once again, thank you for being so open and informative. Not everyone is willing to share their expertise and professional opinion so freely! I find you to be genuine and very accepting of everyone's personal choices.
I want a hair care routine from you!! Your hair is so pretty!
Well said , I don’t have any . I’m 40 …. I love the more nature route. Aging beautifully on a budget over here lol exersize, Spf, natural skincare products and mostly healthy skin loving foods . More young girls need to watch this !
Come talk to me when yor in yor 60s.
I was going to tell her the same thing... "Let's talk when you hit 50."
I looked pretty amazing at 40. My 40s were the time I looked the youngest for my age, after a lifetime of looking more mature.
Things changed drastically as I neared 50. Now, I want a facelift, but don't have the money or the guts.
@@dammar117 ugh don’t do it . I’m sure your beautiful just the way you are . Confidence is so beautiful no matter what age you are . I know you think I have it made at 40 and yeah my skin is still pretty good , not perfect. Of course as a women I would love to look like I did at 25 ! Lol but that’s not the way this life is . I just always want to be happy in my skin and proud of my looks even with my wrinkles, sun spots ect….. without work done . I think taking care of yourself is important and genes play a huge role . ✌️ & 💕
SAme here! I'm 43. I don't like the idea of aging--we've been young all this time and now all of a sudden we're "old"! Eating foods that fight inflammation help too. I love cucumber and avocado for this reason so I'm healthy from the inside out, and avoiding sugars and processed foods really helps too.
@@em77775 so true !! 🙏 I need to eat cleaner …. It really does help everything ✌️ 🧘♀️
I’m 30 and I had filler to get rid of my smile lines, the one side was a lot more prominent and it was all I noticed when I looked in the mirror. I’d lost a bit of volume in my face due to sudden weight loss/poor lifestyle in my early 20’s.
The filler has lasted really well (had it done in Jan) I will need a top up soon on the ‘bad’ side, but I’m happy with the results😊
I will do the same as you. You're happy with the results right? I am little afraid,but only 0.5 ml like you. Will it make any difference?
You are Jung , you should not need this tipe of things jet.
There are face facial massages that help you to keep your skin stronger and longer healthy.
I have horrible under eye hollowing at age 28… I also have lost a bit of weight, like 15 lb…
@Jaya Patil If you read my comment, I stated that I lost fat in my face, leaving me with noticeable lines. You can’t even tell I’ve had filler, but it’s made a difference to ME, and how I feel about myself.
I only notice my smile lines
I've noticed many people overdo their fillers. It can look so odd, and a little sad. I especially notice it with lip fillers.
I've been getting lip filler for years, because I had thin lips. I really love the difference it's made, but I do get only .5ml at a time, and I do get it dissolved every once in a while. I'd recommend finding someone with an eye for aesthetics.
I get botox when my eye lids get droopy and get some fillers, only 2 times a year that’s all I can afford. I’ve got a great girl who does it so good and all looks very natural and not that over the top noticeable. I love it and makes me feel better about myself. I don’t see anything wrong with it at all.
I get .5 in my lips as well. I got tired of looking at my wrinkled lips, lipstick looks better on smooth lips. I don’t see anything wrong with botox or fillers. It’s a persons own business
@@rhondawaller4457 Oooh, I didn't know botox works on droopy eyelids. Thanks for the tip. 😉
How often do you get it dissolved if u dont mind?
@@ninalou4629 After 3 fills, the next appointment, I get it dissolved. For me, it tends to migrate, and it's visible if I keep filling it after the third time.
It’s easy to feel superior and invincible and talk about aging naturally and embracing aging in your 40s and even early 50s. I was cruising in my early 50s and never did a procedure until I hit menopause at 55 and that was an ugly year when with no changes in habits ( and my habits are healthy) I ve
aged visibly and stopped recognizing myself. For the first time I did a filler around my mouth.. no side effects and changes are subtle. I hope it will last up to 2 years and then I will decide. I started hormone replacement and taking collagen, plus red light therapy. Hope it will help!
Please give an update. Thx.
Thank you for saying it’s ok not get fillers. Your best video!!
I have under eye filler it was definitely a game changer for me, I also have my lips done, trying to quit Botox it’s super expensive
I loved this video because I've been wanting fillers for so many years now (under eye hollowness) & everytime I am about to sign the dotted line, my gut says hold off so it's so funny how much of this video I can relate. Thank you so so much! New subscriber to your channel :)
A lower lid blepharoplasty with reposition of the fat pad may help.
Me too but i decided not to risk my eyes. I got an eye rejuvenator machine its microcurrent form MBK it made a very nice difference but it takes about 3 months to see results and it feels really relaxing
@@Jenn, I wouldn’t want to risk my eyes either! I will never do it!
I love your positivity on aging!
Great informative video! I totally agree with your realistic approach! I don't have any and I'm 52 .Diligent skincare,plenty of sunscreen, hydration and diet low in sugar make huge improvements! Plus I see all these people looking the same which is bizarre lol.
Such a knowledgeable and inspiring dermatologist.
It’s so refreshing to hear a dermatologist speak about this! Thank you so much! I was just having a conversation the other day with my S.O. That it’s a shame we’re now living in a society where everyone wants to look the same. We just came back from a trip and flying from LA where the flight attendants all had the same nose, lips, and chin. It was alarming. I love that we humans look different and I wish people would just embrace the beauty of their own unique face! I also am a firm believer of ‘aging is a privilege’ my husband died at the age of 35 so I embrace that I’m nearing 40 and I don’t mind if I’m starting to show it. Although thanks to your budget friendly product recommendations-people think I’m in my 20’s! Thank you again for your honesty and the information you provide us all! Love your channel!
I am a medical professional almost 60 and agree with you -aging is a privilege. I've cared for many that did not get to grow older. We are supposed to look older as we age.. eating well, exercise, rest, good skin care make a difference..
Ageing is a PRIVILEGE!! 🥰 That's perfect!! 🎯🎯🎯
It's not a privilege. It's the price we pay for the privilege of living longer.
God no
Your integrity and willingness to impart this critical information is wonderful. I realized a while back procedures aren't an option for me. At 55 my skin texture and color changes are actually what bother me the most. Losing the fresh glow I've enjoyed (thanks menopause), is tough. I'm learning how to care for my skin as it changes. You're my guide and I tell all my friends about your channel. Thank you so much!
Yes the losing that sparkling glow bothers me even more than wrinkles😢
This can be a topic for a next video. Women really suffer because of menopause in many ways.
Wow, you’re such a blessing to the medical (and UA-cam community)! I wish there was more transparency in the medical community about ALL of the risks of these treatments. That’s why you and the Victorian Cosmetic Institute are my favorite ❤ He shared a video few years ago where they did a study about how long dermal fillers really last.
And even the “temporary” ones can last A LOT longer than most people thing (like years longer).
Yeah some stay there for long time and build up inside the face .. and they can relocate around …
Thanks for your honesty and I think many have developed body dysmorphia. It’s very sad. Some of these celebrities don’t just look different than themselves , they look weird. No lines , but weird. I saw a lady yesterday that had this look and it was horrific. You can spot the 50 plus year old a mile away when they have all that crap done. I started down the rabbit hole and got out of it. I prefer spending my money on awesome trips and enjoying whatever I have here! I take care of myself. I eat well and I work out , I use good products and lots of sunscreen. I still get told that I look like my daughter’s sister and in well in my 50’s. I do have awful 11’s, but I am using frownies now. I did love Botox for them, but started to fear all that could go wrong if I keep using it. I worry about atrophy and such. Or shifting because I swear I had a little eye lid droop once. It was weird. Anyway thanks for all you do to help us older ladies keep it real.
Thank you for starting the video by stating that we all don't need filler! I respect everyone's choice and we don't need to look like the real housewives of wherever xxx
Have you had fat transfer by any chance? I only ask because it does look like you have had filler. I'm, wondering how you maintained the volume in your cheeks? It also looks like you have larger lips.. any tips for naturally doing this without filler? 🙏
Thank you for this 🙏 Doing fillers and botox has become so normal that it's really hard to remember that you really don't need them. I think we get so used to see bigger lips and plumper cheeks that everything else look "old and tired". But of course, there's also nothing wrong with getting fillers - if that makes you feel better 🤗
Vilde S.K. In fact, I am so tired of looking at plumper and bigger lips. They look so fake and most of all they are looked the same.
Omg love love your honesty, thanks for explaining very detailed. We need to accept our years as wisdom.
OMG I was thinking to use fillers for my black circles, but now with this info doesn't worth the risk I guess. Social media makes the illusion that you can do everything to look great without consequences, thanks for sharing!
And I would like to know if you can teach us how to do a deeper cleaning in our face at home, because I don't use make up and clean my face every day, and still appearing a lot of pimples, i feel like I need to do a better cleaning or something. Thank you!
It’s extremely rare though! I hate when they try to scare you! I’ve had multiple fillers and touch ups under my eyes! It looks beautiful I don’t wear concealer anymore! Go with someone reputable and don’t even worry about that
@@Kensie122 I went to a professional medical conference on fillers and , yes, it does happen. It happened to one of the presenters there, and he is an experienced injector. I don’t have under-eye fillers for that reason. The risk/reward is too high for me. You do you, but this information is important for prospective patients to know. I am glad that Dr Locke is willing to publicly discuss this.
@@Kensie122 For me doesn't worth the risk, is gonna disappear in a some months anyway, but no one is gonna give you you sight back if you get bad luck, and is also expensive
I get sculptra and dysport, I look very natural. Sorry not sorry. I love it.
I also do skin care microneedling chemical peels. Use retin A basic moisturizer abd spf every day. I drink lots of water eat healthy food and get plenty of exercise. 😉
To be fair the reason why I get sculptra is because I think I look way to Gaunt in the face from a lot of and years if exercise and clean eating. Low in body fat from my face down to my hips. If I gain Weight I just end up with larger legs. I don't like my thick thighs so need something to help my face! Works for me. Has helped with my dry skin as well.
Really depends on your goals.
After seeing your face today, moving, expressing, unique to your natural facial movements, after watching a few other derm videos where the women have comparatively very little expression… and all look the same… I have decided I dont want to get filler and will be getting botox less often. You look real and much more relatable, expressive, and w emotion. Emotion ❤️
I researched filler for a while. But.. I didn’t like the results I saw on many other people. Then I discovered Sculptra. And decided I wanted my body to produce collagen and I wanted a slow fix. I’m loving it! So happy I passed on fillers
I want sculptra too but dont know where to go. Did you notice a difference right away. I heard it takes up to 6 months to see a change. I want cheek filler
@@CriscianaLovely slight difference right away better results after 4 months. And that’s what I wanted. Not that fake filler look.
@@kellyn7184 i probably may have to get filler. I have nooo cheekbone side profile so a little difference wont do much. I want thinking of getting sculptra 3 times in the cheek area but idk if it will puff out my cheeks😭 i really want a high cheekbone look
@@CriscianaLovely just be careful. Filler can travel and that’s a big risk. Make sure your injector is great!!
@@kellyn7184 i know gurl! Im scared!! I dont want filler but i want some tyle of cheekbone. I have none!! My inner cheeks are full but thats about it. Maybe i should just get cheek implants. I love your cheeks in your profile picture !! I would love just some out cheekbone structure like yours. So maybe i just need face fat transfer or cheek implants
Thank you! I don't really have the $ for it anyway. I do facial exercises instead. It does take a lot of practice, and it can be time consuming. Your advice is so on point and very encouraging 👍
I have had good results from face yoga and consistent good skin care.
Yes, face yoga is great.
Exercise great for firmness but won’t replace volume loss.
I had filler under my eyes. I am so upset at myself. I should have never done that. It did nothing and so expensive. 😔
Same!
It is very dangerous area for the fillers. Smarter injectors are reluctant to do it due to possible complications amd side effects.
It can migrate in your eye balls. Hope you're ok
Madonna is a prime example on how fillers, surgery, Botox can distort your face. great educational video….❤️
Especially fillers. She has such a puffy face.
I agree. Imo it’s better to look old over looking weird.
She puts a lot
I will just age gracefully lol nobody can stop aging 😆 I’m 46 and I think I looked good in my age I never have any Botox 😆 just coconut oil 😬 it’s cheaper and no side effects no wrinkle much yet
Courtney Cox too😭
Thank u SO MUCH for being honest and upfront w the full realities not just the most common. This is a huge problem in medicine that it is barelh skimmed if ever spoken about but it is in the fine fine print hidden away. Its not cool
On my second time getting nasolabial filler, I ended up wity hemosiderin staining in two spots. Never knew this was a possibility and now my complexion is marred.😢
My cheeks are starting to sag so I’m getting fillers. I’ve done it before and loved it.
and what is your age, I never thought about any of this and looked well under my age till about 55, now at 62, I do see I need something, I think ok I'm old, I'm a grandma, just age gracefully, but I look in the mirror and I don't look like myself and know it's all down here from here!
Same here I am 63 eat super healthy, lift weights 4 x week I am 104 lbs and my husband says that I look much better than I was in my 30's 🤣🤣🤣 but I noticed that none of that helped my wrinkles around my eyes, jawline and marionette lines! So last week I got botox and fillers and wow I look so refresh love it! My Dr. was very conservative actually I wanted more but he said that I wouldn't look good, he was right! Eating right, exercising, no smoking helps the texture of your skin but the wrinkles will appear with the age. I am so happy with the results and my husband is happy that I am happy 😊
So PRP and stem cell facials seems like the safe option. No fillers and no distortion no blockages.
I was due to have collagen filler and my under eyes done tomorrow by a messotherapist.
Im a 35 year old guy who looks about 28 or a little younger even. Some people tell me 25.
Deffo going for PRP even though the lady told me collagen filler is better.
I was never going to do this anyway because money and this is such a luxury service but I follow someone on ig who frequently posts about her getting fillers and how great of an experience it is.
The moment I saw about the occlusion I was like OH HELL NO. Not worth it. At all.
Can you please talk about Sculptra and threads as an alternative to filler. I’m not ready for the filler route but would like to rebuild collagen a little more naturally.
I got silhouette threads
@@Fran-fd6wu I use silhouette lift threads also. I have six stitches in my face. So far, this is my best solution. Fillers distorted my eyes and made them look slanted and smaller. I noticed this in photographs and I became upset. I stopped using them, although juvederm was the last one used and it seemed to be less of a problem for my eyes. Now I use threads to lift the face. How happy are you with silhouette lift?
@@lydiadugan8368 it has definitely made my face less hollow and lifted my whole face, made my jawline sharper. I went for three threads in each side but next time I want more and under my chin too! I think this is the best option after the best thing, a facelift. I'm hope to hold of for one of those for another 4/5 years!! I'm glad u found the threadlift good :)
How did filler made your eyes more smaller and slanted?
Thank-you for this. You have the best dermatology content.
I had botox last week and Iove it as usual, this week I had fillers on my marionettes lines I couldn't take it anymore! I looked like I was always mad the doctor's assistant applied a numbing cream and to be honest I felt just a little poke I had a tiny bruise when I arrived home my husband thought that I didn't have any fillers the doctor did a great job! I look good (my husband says) and I am very happy with the results my advice is if that make you happy and can afford it then go ahead as long as you choose the right professional my doctor was very conservative she didn't want to put too much. Every day there are serious risks in our lives when we drive, fly or walk just having a positive attitude and every thing is going to be Ok.😉
Great educational cautionary video!!! This needs to go viral. It’s scary and not worth it!!!
Thank you. Such a good point about the filler “creep” over time - even twice a year - that leads to a strange look. Makes sense of why facial distortion over time doesn’t seem as noticeable to the user. Photo of beautiful Courtney Cox was such a good example.
I do Loriel fillers over the counter. I lather olive oil all my face, then, I use retinol revitalift triple cream, vollume daytime filler, pepsides, retinol drops, and hydrochloric drops. Helpful! For my arms, I use anti crepe cream from Roc. I also use the water based vitamin craw from roc.
Self acceptance…I value your opinion on this. And to add, love ourselves how we are without the temporary procedures.
There is nothing wrong with these procedures if we want to we still love ourselves with or without before and after and always but of course everything should be in moderate things get bad when it gets addictive
Great video. Thanks for reminding women that it is ok to age!!! I think a lot of women are ignoring wellness in their anti-aging regimens. Also, I have seen other dermatologists on YT who are recommending fillers less frequently, and not filling certain areas of the face at all.
Yes, aging is allowed. But:
A. You are not supposed to age as they want to make you think. That is, the natural appearance of women is supposed to be much younger than what is usually presented to us in the media. I've researched this a lot, and they've been trying to present 50 yo woman as 80 yo, 40-year-old women as 60+ at least... and 30-year-old women as 50+...
And who has an interest in presenting us like this? Mainly men. Men also do everything to make you age quickly. This includes brainwashing to get married. They want you to get married because it ages you. And there's a long list of things that make women look decades older than they are.
B. Many of the procedures can age you and not rejuvenate you at all.
Remember - naturally 45 women should actually look the same as 25.
They will never tell you this, because they want you to live with a nocebo effect. All the women i know who didnt believe those lies ...look the same as 20 years ago...but not because of surgeries or subliminal bs. Just because it's netural. And dont get married!
Well, I really am a little worried about what to do now! I'm in need of help for my marionette lines and today was the first visit to a doc consult . I was interested in fillers but very worried about side effects ,such as infections and Lumps . Now I'm starting to think about laser or mini face lift . One thing I truly know is I must research and not be hasty
Wow, I feel so much better that I haven't been able to get any of these procedures done! I live in Israel and the women are gorgeous here but everyone is getting fillers and botox like crazy, it's tacky at a certain point. I am trying to accept aging while taking care the best I can! Wow, thank you for caring for us out here in this crazy world!
Excellent video! Thanks for your perspective and the detailed information!
What do you recommend for mild volume loss? Lasers? I’m 44 and haven’t used Botox or fillers. I am nervous to use Botox since it’s a neurotoxin. Fillers seem to look good when someone initially uses it but over time it’s noticeable.
Botox won't help you. Fillers will
Will always get filler! It helps me look fresh and will never stop. I only get 2-3 vials, cheeks, lips, jawline. Neck lift next year. You do you.
Thank you! Great video! I waited months for appt with top injector under a dermo supervision in my area for lip filler before my granddaughter’s wedding. I was very pleased with creases around my mouth being gone, but my lips didn’t really look that different. I hated the procedure when numbing cream left me drooling all over my self & mumbling incoherently. It’s been over year now & all effects are gone, except a painful knot in my top lip & knot in middle of bottom lip. I went back immediately for massage of area & dissolver, but had no effect. I now really hate my lips and have no one to blame but myself for being so vain!
There’s strong societal influence normalizing and advocating for such procedures, so I don’t think you need to carry all the blame.
EXACTLY!! 🏆🥰 BRAVO Dr Locke! I concur ... I would say to everyone .. all skin enthusiasts, .. STOP SECOND GUESSING YOURSELF! ... Pay attention to the red flags your getting! It's MORE than okay to NOT get fillers!! Because I sense very strongly, that once you start, .. IT'S NEVER ENOUGH!! .. And that's not worth your peace of mind!! ❤️❤️❤️ Stay healthy people! Take excellent care of your skin in all aspects ... nutrition, regular exercise, plenty of sleep and lots of water, & last but certainly not least ... keep your faith front and center!! 💪🤗✝️🙏
Thank you for this! Nobody ever talks about this!!
A little bit of filler with the right angles and proportions looks great, and can still be natural looking. It looks bad when there is too much and not placed in the right area.
Found your channel when I was wanting to learn about botox. Glad I found you! Love the content, so informative.
this is the most well-expounded video of a skin care expert regarding botox and fillers🎉
I appreciate that you are encouraging people to take the natural approach to their looks. But I have never been attractive because I have a week chin and sunken cheeks and I've had them my whole life. I've been considering getting corrective jaw surgery but it's so expensive. I will probably get fillers as a more affordable alternative.
yikes this is what im terrified of
women like you frauding their way into the dating market with ten surgeries 💀💀
@@maalikserebryakov I said I'm NOT getting surgery. Or did you read at all?
Finally a honest video about fillers
How do you like cutting out your Vit C in the AM and replacing it with Bakuchiol so far? :) I've begun doing the same as anti-aging is a primary concern of mine
Filler can last a lot longer than stated here. Research shows it can last years and years not just 3 months to 18 months. And it often migrates over time and actually pulls down your face when you were looking to lift.
It lasts years. Just migrate that's why it seems to disappear.
This is the information I'm looking for. I know all those celebs didn't stop getting it for no reason.
Whooo Maren, you are so amazing... thanks a lot. We really need people like you... you are exactly what I was looking for.... thank you so much for your advice and honesty 💛🙏
Thank you for that info. I refuse to do any of that fillers and botox. Im just going to age and accept myself the way time changes my body.
You know what else is great for looking young? A great haircut and style that suits your face shape! It can make a long face look more round in seconds
I always thought that the filler stretches the skin, and as you age you need more of it, and you will always be dependent on it because if you stop it, the skin is stretched out, then your skin looks worse than if you did nothing.
Look at Courtney Cox. Now she has a really long face.
I think it just distorts your perception kind of like a facial dysmorphia effect. In reality when you look back in 10 years that “droopier” face actually wasn’t so bad esp when you’re 70 years old 😂
Courtney Cox looks great since she dissolved her fillers. She doesn't have a long face at all.
It does it to lips too it changes the shape of lips
Who u kidding u don’t do Botox or fillers 😂😂😂
How about for the neck? I have these annoying neck lines…
Dr Dray has a couple videos on smoothing out neck lines/wrinkles/how to get a younger looking neck.
What do you think of sculptra?
Fillers before your facelift is a waste of money. I get Voluma & Juvederm now to maintain my high SMAS lower face & necklift results. It has worked well for me.
Hello Doc, could you tell me what you think about Sculptra Treatments? Do you recommend it? Please advise. Thank you
How do you feel about filler’s used for ice pick acne scarring?
I mean the blindness alone is what has scared me the most. I think a mini face lift might be the best tx for me. Thank you for your reviews!
Great info! I’m 53 and don’t really have any wrinkles, but I did just have a dental procedure done on my front teeth that has changed my lips’ smile “performance” and I’m not into it. I’ve been thinking about a lip flip. I know it needs to be done repeatedly and I’ve never had a single injection in my face. Thoughts on countering dental work changes?
No filer no botox every day I inject dose of self love it cost me nothing and its done by me ❤🎉
You're so brilliant. Thank you so much for this take, my cosmetic injector who does my botox is ALWAYS pressuring me to get to filler and recently I've started to seriously consider it even though I always swore I'd never get it. After watching this, I am now going to stick to just botox and look for a new injector...shame you don't live in Melbourne lol
Nailed it
Your skin is amazing
What do you do? Micro needling laser etc at all?
Thank you Dr but could you kindly share alternatives for a slim / no fat face that lost volume and would like to have it plumped without injections but opened to other procedures . Thanks
Well what you are saying is great BUT I have one deep, deep wrinkle on my right side smile line, how to I correct it without filler???!
Hi there, new subscriber, have you done a video on those red light masks everyone is raving about?🥰
Thanks for your videos. What about Sculptra?
Aaahhh finally I understand why celebrities often start looking like they drink 🍸 all the time. Scary ☹️ Thank you for being so honest
How about using your own fat and plasma?
I’m 40 and have had 30 units of Newtox to my 11 lines and forehead and have seen incredible results. The only other tweakment I have had was 1 syringe of lip filler 7 months ago for a subtle result. I feel like this has been the perfect amount and will be getting my lips “topped up” next month. Skin care and other preventative methods are key to aging gracefully!!
Thank you for the info, i got into an argument about fillers with someone online.. It pains me how little they know about fillers yet they are giving people fillers themselves! I just happen to watch a lot of medical shows, including ones on plastic surgery and i knew that i was correct after a quick Google search as well.. Do vet, people!
I’ve thought about getting under eye filler to fix my hollows. I’ve lost a lot of volume but have heard horror stories.
Not sure what the alternatives are or if you recommend staying away from this option?
I have under eye filler and it looks really natural. I love it but I believe there are lasers out there as an alternative.
Dr. Karam on UA-cam may have done this topic. ua-cam.com/video/ebPDHrWF-jQ/v-deo.html
In the future, I plan on doing eyelid surgery though.
I've seen at least one video talking about eyelid surgery as an option (blepharoplasty).
No! Do not get fillers under the eye! Every derm I've seen and I've seen a lot, says No! I've heard fat transfer is better but my dermatologist & surgeon says No to that too.
No filler under the eyes. You want PRF gel (directly under the eye) or Sculptra around the temples and cheeks. It will spread to the under eye area over time.
@@bnb0510 oooh that is the first time I’ve heard of this 🤔 interesting!! thank you for sharing!!
I’m so thankful I happened up on this channel.
Scultpra Filler is the best thing I ever did. I looked like a skeleton after years of trauma and illness. Lip filler did not go so well however. It migrated
@Jillene Luce
Where did you get Scultpra
@@SG-wq4rm Switzerland. I never heard of it before going to that Doc.
Excellent video!
Wrinkles tell our personal story!
My is a traintrack on my forehead....lol
Im 46. I have my first filler consult Wednesday. Supper nervous, but now I have frown lines and notice a sag in my mouth area.
Dr Locke, what about someone who had amazing skin but had developed hollow eyes and they have lost all their confidence and self esteem. They are broken. They won’t go out. They use tret, differin, and have a great skin care routine. Is filler or fat transfer the only real solution?
Thank you for all the wonderful information you provide to us on skin care and products that work. I have a question regarding a product that I don't know if you have previously addressed since I haven't been a 'member' to your site for very long: what are your thoughts on argeriline? What about in combination with matrixyl? How to use? TIA, "Al"
Dr Locke, what would be your go to filler for under eye hollows? There’s no cream that can take care of volume loss. It’s filler or fat transfer.
In the pictures at 4:00, her face looks exactly the same size, just droopy. I do not think it is volume loss that causes this, but skin elasticity changes. That is why filler doesn't make people look more youthful, as we can always still tell their age. It just makes them look cartoonish (Courtney Cox is a good example of this. Look how small and tight her face was in her youth, and all she did was make it look big and weird with filler)
