If slimmer faces are more attractive, then what are we doing filling faces with dermal filler? Dr. Gavin Chan explains. Dr. Gavin Chan MBBS, General Registration (MED0001175745)
When a professional is giving you their opinion which results in less money for them, trust them... just trust them. You can be sure their opinion is honest and not skewed by greed.
well its not about opinion its about taste and what you find attractive. I completely agree and would never do anything to my face even though i dont like everything about it. But there are women who just think they look more attractive and in reality they look ridiculous. But its all about perception. 😂😂😂
I like both (naturally) round "baby" faced AND defined/mature faces. I know change is hard for a lot of people (myself included) but we really need to start embracing the fact that we're going to change appearance as we move through 80-100 years.
I'm glad the doctor I went to was like ''sorry I don't inject people who are already beautiful" or something to that effect. Measured my face, told me it's perfect and I'd be better off with some counseling. Gotta say I walked out of there feeling amazing even though he said I need a shrink 🤣❤️👍
Wow finally a person who understands that attractiveness and youth are not the same thing. In fact many of the features ppl find attractive are MATURE facial features.
Anne Wilkinson Well thank God I’m blessed and so are certain others. I agree as well, many “young” people look older than they should. It’s actually terrifying to see 🥴
@@privatelifejust_4me When I was around 17-20 I always got told I should model cause I was naturally super thin but model agencies turned me down saying my facial features were too soft and "Not stong enough" to model. Which is weird since I think Gigi Hagid definitely has "softer" looks than me. I
Anne Wilkinson Oh I wouldn’t be surprised. Just like any job they pick and choose even when two people can have the same credentials, features, body type etc. Hopefully all worked out in your favor and overall for your life. I’ve learned that when you think something is definitely what you need or want it’s actually better when things don’t go as planned. 🌈
Ive had a round face my whole life and I hate it lol I dont understand why people want to puff up their faces more when I want a thinner face. No matter how much weight I lost my face will still be round
Tahtahme's Diary exactly, Ive been wanting to fill up my tear through for years and years, gone to my dr who’s also perform plastic surgery and she told me she wants to put 2ml under each one of my eyes, I swear I was about to do it but now after this video I might just go with 1ml each
ye23 when your older it will slim down I promise, I used to stay slim because of it, now I can eat anything and it stays slim but my body is bouncy again🤷🏻♀️
I'd also add to say that there's nothing wrong with having a rounder face. I have a round face. So does my mum. We just don't have prominent cheekbones and that's fine. It doesn't need fixing.
I didn't realize getting braces would change my face so much. My face is rounder with a natural deep overbite. Braces gave me a defined jawline and a natural cheek contour. It was definitely a delightful bonus to my bite finally fitting.
I’m so happy for you!!! And so grateful that you can recognize your own natural self as beautiful simply for getting dental/orthodontic care rather than doing something artificial. I struggle with my body, I’m about to be 25 but I’m still shaped like a stick bug. Can’t gain weight or curves and in this culture I’m sure it’s easy to tell why that makes me insecure. I saved up money for a BBL for 8 months but chickened out of my consult because I had this voice in the back of my head saying I would feel worse or just as bad if I did something fake instead of trying to eat and work out to achieve the look I want. But also I shouldn’t care so much about it. Anyways!!! I’m happy for you 💕💕💕
@@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. I'd recommend you focus on gaining lower body muscle mass, through exercises like weighted squats, and see if that makes a difference before you try surgery.
im not gonna spend 4000$ minimum for brace...Just to make my lips look bigger when i can contour them. People that can afford braces are very privilege .i will never have them I'm on welfare taking care of my disable child .
@@funnygaming2672 Teeth alignment is so much more important than just looking nice. I know braces are expensive, but it definitely is NOT just for aesthetics.
Victorian Cosmetic Institute and I really think more people are talking about how fillers can look so unnatural. It’s only a matter of time that professionals follow suit. There will always be a select group that want that look, but the majority do not. I’m baffled by some celebrities that go over board. Can you talk more about helping with the beginning stages of sagging skin and what can be done? Thank you for being so down to earth, honest, and respectable in your advice. Do you ever do any virtual consultations since I live so far away?
Obviously she has gone true serious health issues do to alcohol and bad eating habits, but even before she gained the wait you could thell fillers where destroying her face, with that said I truly hope she gets better.
If I remember correctly after the whole lipstick disaster, she developed a drinking habit and this can bloat you like crazy as you can imagine + actual fillers
I have a chubby round face. I hate it, but being 43 and told I look 33 constantly almost makes that roundness worth it. My friends from college who are thin and have a lot of angles on their face look much older than me. I wish society would stop thinking people with rounder faces are ugly cuz we are not!!
YES, that is me and family- super thin face/jaw. We look like absolute sh!t aging even with the best of care and health. Always envious of the wider rounder face; looks more wholesome and friendly. Villains always portrayed with thin faces
Most honest Doc EVER! Typically the technician oversells and has us believing more is better. Love this guy and need more like him - especially with these young girls who think they are imperfect unless their lips are as big as beach balls.
I feel like a lot of people in their twenties forget that our faces aren't "finished" yet. Most of us are probably gonna look drastically different when we hit our thirties, and like Dr. Chan says, gain some contour naturally. My mom for example had a very plump face all throughout her twenties, but now in her fifties she has the most insanely sharp cheekbones, and looks amazing! I guess what I'm trying to say is to be patient with your looks? Idk
Yes! My sister turned 39 this year and throughout her twenties she always had a chubby face. She lost a bit of weight a few years ago and her face matured insanely. She has killer cheekbones and a very nice definition.
how old are you? i'm just wondering for myself. and did you lose it quickly or in a span of a year? and did you get more lines on face? i need to lose 15kg but im scared
@@hirrorstories just lose the weight. As long as you're doing a mix of cardio and resistance training, or even Pilates and yoga, your face will be fine.
This is SO true! I have never understood why so many celebrities use fillers. I think its very unflattering. It just makes them look puffy and makes their eyes look small.
You can see her face has widened up around her eyes at the sides. Alcohol doesn't do that, or weight gain - cheek filler does! And tonnes of it, she's also got way too much under her eyes.
Kevin Espiricueta It’s a mixture of alcohol and weight gain that makes it more _noticeable_ lol. She’s not lying about the that. She said she’s had fillers I’m p sure. All you have to do is look at her through the years. I’ve followed her for a very long time and her face has changed, and not because of age or just weight gain lmao.
Yeah, but you can see the emotions on a 20 or 25 year old person smiling etc without eyes wrinkles or lines n her foreheads eyes or cheeks. That's what people want to attain
I am genuinely not very interested in this topic, BUT this video was so good! You were honest about attractiveness, without being hurtful. This is something many people are not good at. Also I love your message about "less is more"!
Wow! Watching your content has helped educate me and confirm some of my suspicions. I've always felt that a little would go a long way, but most people I know who have filler are going back constantly to have more. Thank you for sharing your work with the world.
I thought I was the only one who feels like they look more attractive the more they age. We have such a problem with thinking that beauty is reserved only for people ages 13 - 25. I just turned 30 a few months ago and I look good af. Sorry to disappoint.
You hit the nail on the head. So many practicioners will NOT tell their patients this, but take their $$$, and the results are not great. Your honesty is refreshing !!!!!
Bless this man - He's good enough to tell us. In years to come, this can cause problems with the nerves in the face, paralysis of one side or one part of the face, and other horrible things. WHY risk it. If we're not gorgeous - So what?? MOST of the world isn't - Build up your personality, not your FACE - Be comfortable in the skin you're in - It was meant for Yoooo!! How many people do we know who have a pretty/handsome face but are such a put off - Personality comes through!! Kind, caring, funny, good natured all these make up for good looks, any day!! Also, when we're young we don't realize how good looking we are. Save a picture you don't like and look at it when you age - You'll see what I mean. This filler stuff is nuts - UNnecessary!! Be good to your body, it's the only one you've got, and you need it to last. Hurt it, & it will retaliate - Better believe it!! Fillers - Seriously?? Not worth the risk!! Health is wealth, so work on being well, because that's a blessing!!
AH I so appreciate you. I get so many people, injectors recommending getting jawline filler, cheek filler to help balance my face but all I can picture is it spreading and flattening and making my face look more round and less defined. I wanna send this video to half the injectors in my area. Thank you for such a intelligent video.
I went to go get fillers in a moment of weakness, the doctor told me "no" until I adopted better skin care based on my lifestyle. I'm grateful for that
@@Cinnabar_and_Chalcanthite a good dermatologist will ask you about your skincare regime. Mine asked me if I was doing skin treatments, such as microdermabrasion, peels, fraxel laser etc... as someone in late 20s / early 30s, investing in propper skin treatments that treat the skin is a good way to improve skin quality, something fillers and botox don't do.
Same thing happened with me. Went for teeth whitening, and the doctor said NO, your teeth are white already, no need for that. Except you need teeth cleaning which i will recommend only after six months. Thanks to that Doctor
Bravo 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Finally somebody is so honest to tell this! Your videos are so important for everyone who wants to do fillers ! Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪🙌🏽 We love your videos !
I got that tear through (5:40) years ago and I'm really happy about it 🙂 It's the only thing I've done, but it taught me two things 1) they said that fillers would only last a few months, it has lasted years 2) it gave me small wrinkles underneath the eye (crows feet)
We need to stop contributing to a society that idealizes what “attractive” form looks like. Celebrities weight increase/decrease makes headlines, it’s gotta stop.
I’m glad you mentioned “transitions“ of the face. I lost a lot of weight very quickly during and after quarantine. I’ve always had big protruding eyes, and the loss of fat has my eyes casting crazy tear trough shadows that make me look tired and 10+ years older. After a lot of research, I believe I’m dealing with a mid face deficiency that I would love to have corrected with light cheek fillers. Thanks for all of your videos.
@s m yeah I’m pissed about it. Tretinoin helped tighten up the skin but the line is still there. I’m hoping to get fillers when I reach my goal weight. Did you do anything about the lines or did you just let them be?
Finally a knowledgeable professional who can clearly articulate how to use fillers to enhance and not change o deformed the face. Yes! This is the sort of care and consideration you want in an injector. It’s critical to have someone who has your best interest in mind and doesn’t just do what you say, because as patients, we don’t always know what will give us the best results. ✨✨👏❤️
Aly Art made an interesting observation: that when the human body has infection, it becomes inflamed and puffy in the affected area. So even when someone has fairly subtle fillers, we still get that "uncanny valley" feeling, because we, on an almost subliminal level, will recognise the puffiness as sickness.
Thank you for making this video! I am just 23 years old and since i was 20 my laugh lines were already static due to alot of weight loss (40kg). Since a couple of months ive been noticing them more and more but i dont want to get anything done about my face because its my canvas of life. But its quite hard to not feel insecure about it. When you google: Are laugh lines beautifull the only thing that pops up are plastic surgeons. That shit bothers me alot because they create unrealisitic beauty standards and they profit of insecurities of people. And i understand you help the people get rid of their insecurity but you create them for the others by helping that person. I just wanted to see some positive points about getting/having wrinkles but the only thing i found was how to get rid of them. The stigma around wrinkles is so misplaced at the moment and i am waiting for the revolution were everyone is considered beatifull just the way they are/age. Sorry for the long comment but im just really fed up with this. Don't get it wrong i respect you for not filling up faces anymore but i just think the beauty standards that are created cause unnecessary distress for alot of people. And to the one person that reads this comment: You are beautifull and special just the way you are, don't let anyone ever tell you anything different.
I'm 30 and I dermaroll my face at home and my skin and little lines are going away, there's other ways to improve lines and wrinkles other than pumping fillers into the skin
One of the most beautiful men I know, has them on early age: Jensen Ackles. If you see Supernatural pilot episode, there they are. I think he takes care of his body and face ('cus it shows), but his crow feet shows how much he loves to laugh.
It's kind of an art form. I really don't have the money to get surgery but I like to see what goes into it. I'm definitely getting my facelift someday though!
Probably first person who I subsicribed first time for myself who is so trualy so realistic , I was thinking for some fillers in my lips or behinde the eyes witch I haven't done before but this man opened my eyes and maked me be more sure that true beauty its irreplaceble. Stay Nature! 🌱🌻
I’m 19 rn, and lots of people mistake me for being 12-14 years old because I have a baby face. Its not the worst thing in the world, I’ll probably like that I look young when I’m in my 40s. But I want to look a little more attractive rather than looking like a kid. I hope I “grow into my face” as I enter my 20s.
29 and have the same face as 17. I like it sometimes others I don’t. I’m not messing with my face with surgery. I use tretinoin and spf only. Life is good.
Yeah, I noticed at 25 I was looking more sophisticated! It comforted me a lot because I was afraid of getting older. I am almost 35 now and I think I look really good! It helps that I have oily skin (yay acne!) and I never tanned after age 14.
KH Kayla meeee i’m 21 and people think i’m 16 all the time. i used to work at a store that IDed at the door and people often asked me if i was old enough to work there lol. i hope my face slims down otherwise i’m considering buccal fat removal
I am almost 60 and have been doing facial exercises for 4 years because I had bone loss in face and it was very noticeable. Surgeons built the bone back up in my jaw using my bone but I had to build the muscles in face with exercises and no fillers. The commitment and dedication to these exercises are not easy but it does work and I can feel and see the muscles in my face.
@@canoegirl6335 I do facial exercises and facial yoga. Facial yoga for me was not enough to build the muscle. I use Facerobics program 5 days a week and then usually a facial message every night and facial yoga on the weekends.
I have to admit its not easy to be that dedicated but I have no choice because I have seen what the loss of muscle does to the face. I will be committed to this routine for the rest of my life. I love the "strength" I literally can feel in my face. It works.
@@tracyheath6076what benefits have you seen after doing these exercises & how strop)atrophied were your facial muscles before? was your face pretty messed up? Also, how quick did you experience these results from the starting point? Thanks
Joeistherealest - thats only going to help on the outside, and for only so long. Security comes from within and until you figure that out you’ll always be chasing it.... eventually your going to age so you need to be ready for it mentally... fillers or not!
Brèagha- we’re talking about fillers and growing old doesn’t mean your broken...you will have wrinkles. That is what I am talking about. Trying to fix wrinkles 🧐 Scars or something maybe, but just aging Nah! There is nothing wrong with getting wrinkles..l somewhere along the line people began not excepting wrinkles. Not sure why that happened, but its a natural process!
I inject filler and botox in my face and for myself, I consider it no different than dying white or grey hairs or putting on makeup. Am I insecure? 🤣 not a chance!! Just a preference, that's all.
I’m turning 30 this year and I was looking at my pictures from my late teens/early 20s and I have to agree my face has contoured out for some reason and I think I look waaay more attractive now vs then
@@ghostlobster6631 yeah, my face had baby weight on it when I was younger. Every day even still I notice a subtle change and my jawline contouring. Definitely look into facial massages/ oils and masks before bed and face yoga while you’re younger! I only just discovered them and I think upkeep makes a difference
I am so glad I watched this video. I've been contemplating getting fillers because my jawline is sagging. But after my 5th Botox filler in my forehead last Saturday I still have terrible bruising (this is the first time I've bruised like this) and now thinking that'll be my last injection. I'm 52 and wish I could just embrace aging naturally. I always said I would until about 4 years ago when I started noticing the forehead lines and my jawline dropping. Your video just popped into my feed and I will take that as a sign! Thank you!
I too hope that fifty and sixty year old women will learn to love and embrace aging naturally... I am 30 and sometimes need the encouragement from the women before me that I too can accept my age as it comes.
I stopped Botox after several years and now I feel like my forehead wrinkles are so much worse (but it’s probably just the contrast of having been “smooth” for so long). I am trying to accept aging, but I have also learned that there are natural ways to take care of your skin and facial structure that can help you look and feel better - gua sha and face yoga. They are natural and gradual and gentle and chemical free methods which we in the West are often too impatient to look into.
My surgeon stopped me from getting a buccal(?) fat pad removal on my face when I was younger by telling me that my face would become more defined as I age, and he was so right. I never understood the trend of bloated, puffy fillerized faces!
@@ninavictoria5960 im 16 and my face is sooo puffy and i know my face will het slimmer because my mum used to have the same face and not her face is very slimm but idk if i can wait this long 😫
@@peepinsleep409 The time will go quickly, trust me! I don’t regret not spending money on that surgery at all. Also, I think a lot of older women would be envious of a younger persons fuller face, so enjoy looking younger while you are!
damn, I want to get that so my face is slim now (I'm 22) in my 20s. My cheeks are definitely my biggest physical insecurity, and don't change with losing weight.
What happens if your immune system eats away some fat pads in your cheeks and suddenly the face looks gaunt? Can that be corrected by increasing the general weight? Because it is different when you loose fat by exercising and eating little and the immune system attack. Can those fat pads be recovered?
My tear troughs filled in naturally when I started getting enough sleep. Since COVID shut everthing down, I've had 7-8 hours sleep every night for 3 months. I always thought that was a line of BS but it turns out sleep literally is "beauty rest".
Marie Mai It was probably the potassium in the bananas . Most of us don’t get enough and our skin needs it . Magnesium is another one that is good for skin we don’t get enough of .
Surgery isn't necessary. Just eat healthy, have a good skincare routine, wear sun screen, exercise to be/stay fit, brush your teeth, go to the dentist and be a happy person.
Charmaine Espeut surgery is necessary after a certain age, in order to cut off the saggy skin. No amount of healthy food and brushing teeth can replace a good facelift.
@Veronica Bolanos Women don't age for the worse until they are 35 and up. If you don't look good between 18-35 then you will never look good unfortunately.
The opening line - yes!! I get botox but not filler. I am 34, size 8 and have a small head. Getting filler would make my proportions look strange. I just don't understand why people get so much filler when all it does is make your face look bigger , fluffier. Ive lost facial volume but my jaw line looks more defined and I like how my face looks so much better with this loss of volume.
As a girl with angular, defined features that I'm super self conscious about (especially my hollow temples, pointy brow ridge and jaw/cheek shape) I REALLY appreciate this
They don't like the result and make the mistake of thinking more is the answer, when it's less. People find it very difficult to admit mistakes to themselves.
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 😩
I’m not totally anti-cosmetic surgery and treatments (and personally love Botox), but I’ve always thought fillers look bad on EVERYONE. I see some of these young, beautiful women with unnaturally inflated faces and am just baffled. Literally makes people look like aliens.

Anastasia Rose it’s actually so sad when you look at how she looked previously. I know she says it’s weight gain but my weight fluctuates and even at my heaviest,it has never looked like that. She was so naturally gorgeous before
Thank you for discussing this. I have seen so many celebrities I grew up with gradually morph into someone completely different after doing facial procedures, often looking less attractive in my opinion. I am fearful of any kind of face treatment and think poorly of the plastic surgery field for making people look so bizarre.
@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.
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.
@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
@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

@@angelabby2379 filler is not meant to remove lines...it's meant to add volume (like for lips or cheekbones). Adding volume in your smile lines will make you look weird especially since it will move around...as he said in the video it's not effective. Consider makeup techniques to lift the shadows in that area...if that doesn't work research other procedures.
I’m getting Botox tomorrow with a new injector and was highly considering doing jawline and cheek fillers for the first time- thank you thank you thank you for stopping me. I’ve gotten a much more contoured and chiseled face as I’ve gotten farther into my twenties, but I recently had an injector suggest adding filler to “balance” my profile, which kind of surprised me as I’ve thought I had a decent jawline- I mean I’m no Margot Robbie but you know. I don’t have a perfect face but I was happy with what I did have before that injector’s comment. I’ll go back to being happy again.
Honesty. He actually took the time to explain it to us the consumer, in clear layman terms. He cares. Bless you doctor. I wish you good heath and prosperity. I am saving this to my important archives and sending it to my daughters.
Lisa Bonet is another great example of how even more lovely a face can look when a bit of baby fat is lost. Her cheekbones are incredible. She looks great.
Perfect example is Kylie Jenner. The fillers worked at first, as they all seemingly do, but after years of routine injections, her face got much chubbier over time! She’s still beautiful in my opinion, but a chubby face is clearly the end point/ long term effects of these procedures.
compare teenage Angelina Jolie vs adult Angelina Jolie; she had a baby face but as she got older, her face became more sharp and defined and she looks amazing. this also happened to Margot Robbie.
Buccal fat surgery is really cheap and quick without masses of down time. She might have had that as I know the pics of her when she was young, her cheeks are chubby.
I’m 70 and 2yrs ago I stop dying my hair and I love it, I will never go back. I love my beautiful silver healthy shiny hair. So far I’ve had nothing done to my face. O People can’t believe I’m 70 and I get compliments on my hair.
@@wildswan221 yes, especially after I read that when you have procedures done on your face that the elasticity will never be the way it was and you have to keep doing it.
My Mom stopped dying her hair when she was 60 and her hair turned out to be a bright white naturally and it looks amazing, it looks better than when she was dying it black.
I so wish you were in NYC!! I don't suppose you could recommend a Dr. that's as thoughtful, careful, and knowledgeable as you are? I watched your tear trough video and I've NEVER had a Dr. discourage me from fillers there, so now I don't trust them.
This doctor is wonderful telling us the real truth. Which gives each person to make their own decision after they know all the information first. The pros and cons.
I wish I never had gotten fillers or fat transfer HUGE MISTAKE thank you for speaking the truth I think when fillers first came out there wasn’t enough research obviously done about it and many of us were guinea pigs for it I take responsibility for not being careful enough that was my fault even though the doctor then said the opposite of what you’re saying now obviously
I’m so glad I watched this because my doctor told me I would need a minimum of three syringes to “enhance“ my features. You are the only doctor that is telling us not to put too much filler in our faces and it’s information that is well needed. I only wish you lived in Canada.🙏💕
@@viccosmeticinstitute he talks about that 3:00 into the video and says how his believe is that long term the fillers flatten so placement really doesn't matter in the end. How would you respond to that? (Not arguing just curious what your opinion is)

@@privatelifejust_4me When I was around 17-20 I always got told I should model cause I was naturally super thin but model agencies turned me down saying my facial features were too soft and "Not stong enough" to model. Which is weird since I think Gigi Hagid definitely has "softer" looks than me. I
Anne Wilkinson Oh I wouldn’t be surprised. Just like any job they pick and choose even when two people can have the same credentials, features, body type etc. Hopefully all worked out in your favor and overall for your life. I’ve learned that when you think something is definitely what you need or want it’s actually better when things don’t go as planned. 🌈
There's a difference between a naturally round face and one filled in, one is cute and the other is uncanny.
Ive had a round face my whole life and I hate it lol I dont understand why people want to puff up their faces more when I want a thinner face. No matter how much weight I lost my face will still be round
@@ye23. the random cheek pinching gets annoying.
Tahtahme's Diary exactly, Ive been wanting to fill up my tear through for years and years, gone to my dr who’s also perform plastic surgery and she told me she wants to put 2ml under each one of my eyes, I swear I was about to do it but now after this video I might just go with 1ml each
ye23 when your older it will slim down I promise, I used to stay slim because of it, now I can eat anything and it stays slim but my body is bouncy again🤷🏻♀️
una mass im 28 honey...pushing 30 over here so I dont think it’ll go down anytime soon 😂 genetics is a bitch
I'd also add to say that there's nothing wrong with having a rounder face. I have a round face. So does my mum. We just don't have prominent cheekbones and that's fine. It doesn't need fixing.
It’s known to be healthy too
That's death sentence for men tho
Fellow round faced here! 😃
People love squishing your face
I love round face women.
Thank you fellow rounder faced lady
I didn't realize getting braces would change my face so much. My face is rounder with a natural deep overbite. Braces gave me a defined jawline and a natural cheek contour. It was definitely a delightful bonus to my bite finally fitting.
I’m so happy for you!!! And so grateful that you can recognize your own natural self as beautiful simply for getting dental/orthodontic care rather than doing something artificial.
I struggle with my body, I’m about to be 25 but I’m still shaped like a stick bug. Can’t gain weight or curves and in this culture I’m sure it’s easy to tell why that makes me insecure. I saved up money for a BBL for 8 months but chickened out of my consult because I had this voice in the back of my head saying I would feel worse or just as bad if I did something fake instead of trying to eat and work out to achieve the look I want. But also I shouldn’t care so much about it.
Anyways!!! I’m happy for you 💕💕💕
@@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.
I'd recommend you focus on gaining lower body muscle mass, through exercises like weighted squats, and see if that makes a difference before you try surgery.
im not gonna spend 4000$ minimum for brace...Just to make my lips look bigger when i can contour them. People that can afford braces are very privilege .i will never have them I'm on welfare taking care of my disable child .
@@funnygaming2672 Teeth alignment is so much more important than just looking nice. I know braces are expensive, but it definitely is NOT just for aesthetics.
@@funnygaming2672 when you get older, your jaw is gonna hurt smh
Many plastic surgeons are going to be angry at you for telling the truth, but you are honest and ethical! Thank you for that!
That's ok. I'm happy to help raise the bar when it comes to the standards of cosmetic treatments in the community
Victorian Cosmetic Institute and I really think more people are talking about how fillers can look so unnatural. It’s only a matter of time that professionals follow suit. There will always be a select group that want that look, but the majority do not. I’m baffled by some celebrities that go over board. Can you talk more about helping with the beginning stages of sagging skin and what can be done? Thank you for being so down to earth, honest, and respectable in your advice. Do you ever do any virtual consultations since I live so far away?
Agreed this is so refreshing! Honest knowledge is definitely power especially in this realm.

@@bperez8656 that's funny in a bit of a dark way. Here's to hoping you're wrong on this, I quite like the guy
Jaclyn ruined her face. She looks like she’s having an allergic reaction all the time.
I'd feel bad about the comments but the way she treats her customers and the folks that launched her to success......
Obviously she has gone true serious health issues do to alcohol and bad eating habits, but even before she gained the wait you could thell fillers where destroying her face, with that said I truly hope she gets better.
If I remember correctly after the whole lipstick disaster, she developed a drinking habit and this can bloat you like crazy as you can imagine + actual fillers
Sonya Blade yes but her face was puffy before that too. It’s def a combo of things
Lily Roberts it’s not shit it’s facts
I have a chubby round face. I hate it, but being 43 and told I look 33 constantly almost makes that roundness worth it. My friends from college who are thin and have a lot of angles on their face look much older than me. I wish society would stop thinking people with rounder faces are ugly cuz we are not!!
YES, that is me and family- super thin face/jaw. We look like absolute sh!t aging even with the best of care and health. Always envious of the wider rounder face; looks more wholesome and friendly. Villains always portrayed with thin faces
I really needed to hear this
I have a round face and love it couple away from 40 so it's not a big deal. And definitely aging well. Probably look same at 50
Most honest Doc EVER! Typically the technician oversells and has us believing more is better. Love this guy and need more like him - especially with these young girls who think they are imperfect unless their lips are as big as beach balls.
I feel like a lot of people in their twenties forget that our faces aren't "finished" yet. Most of us are probably gonna look drastically different when we hit our thirties, and like Dr. Chan says, gain some contour naturally. My mom for example had a very plump face all throughout her twenties, but now in her fifties she has the most insanely sharp cheekbones, and looks amazing! I guess what I'm trying to say is to be patient with your looks? Idk
Yes!!! My mum also changed in her thirties and got more naturally contoured. Why would you get surgery in your early 20s!
Yes! My sister turned 39 this year and throughout her twenties she always had a chubby face. She lost a bit of weight a few years ago and her face matured insanely. She has killer cheekbones and a very nice definition.
Lord I wish. Tired of my fat CHEEKS. Not the good kind either. I'm keeping my other fat cheeks (worked out to gain).
Or enjoy each stage?
Love this comment ❤️
I’ve lost 35kgs & lately I’ve been asked a few times “Your face looks different! Are you getting Botox?” No I’m working out.
how old are you? i'm just wondering for myself. and did you lose it quickly or in a span of a year? and did you get more lines on face? i need to lose 15kg but im scared
Because gaunt faces liok haggardly! Look at witches! Look at kate upton! She looks youthful
@@hirrorstories just lose the weight. As long as you're doing a mix of cardio and resistance training, or even Pilates and yoga, your face will be fine.
Congrats!
I was born with baby face 😫 even if I lose a lot of weight my face still looks around tho.
This is SO true! I have never understood why so many celebrities use fillers. I think its very unflattering. It just makes them look puffy and makes their eyes look small.
This. 100% agreed
I would never do anything to my face and really like your conservative approach.
When Jaclynn Hill popped up I just-
💀💀💀
That’s fillers, on top of weight gain, on top of bloating from alcohol. I feel for her, in a smol kinda way.
I’m confused because she did addressed it saying it was alcohol Or something ? I’m not saying your wrong but .. is jh lying ?
You can see her face has widened up around her eyes at the sides. Alcohol doesn't do that, or weight gain - cheek filler does! And tonnes of it, she's also got way too much under her eyes.
@@katekong5720 exactly that yes ! Combination of it all not only alcohol
Kevin Espiricueta It’s a mixture of alcohol and weight gain that makes it more _noticeable_ lol. She’s not lying about the that. She said she’s had fillers I’m p sure. All you have to do is look at her through the years. I’ve followed her for a very long time and her face has changed, and not because of age or just weight gain lmao.
I like seeing lines, wrinkles and creases on people's faces especially when they're happy
It's hard to read the emotions of someone with balloon face.
Lol
They really do animate the face. Filler fanatics can only achieve one facial expression and it's that awkward constipated look
Yeah, but you can see the emotions on a 20 or 25 year old person smiling etc without eyes wrinkles or lines n her foreheads eyes or cheeks. That's what people want to attain
This makes me think of the one lady from Housewives of Beverly Hills who cried but her face didn’t move 🙃🙃
😂😂😂😂
I am genuinely not very interested in this topic, BUT this video was so good! You were honest about attractiveness, without being hurtful. This is something many people are not good at. Also I love your message about "less is more"!
Wow! Watching your content has helped educate me and confirm some of my suspicions. I've always felt that a little would go a long way, but most people I know who have filler are going back constantly to have more. Thank you for sharing your work with the world.
I thought I was the only one who feels like they look more attractive the more they age. We have such a problem with thinking that beauty is reserved only for people ages 13 - 25. I just turned 30 a few months ago and I look good af. Sorry to disappoint.
Flora A me too!
Love your confidence!
31 is the most beautiful age for women per a study. That’s why. My best age was 36. My family ages well.
Flora A same- I love the slimmer face we get in our 30’s. Marilyn and Diana were stunning at 36. Age like a fine wine...
You're dam right about that! I looked weird in my 20s, I've definitely glowed up in my 30s.
That's a doctor I would trust touching my face.
Yeah, I wonder where he’s located! We should all go in on a bus 🚎 and pay him a visit as I know he would take great care in what he does.
I like a guy who speaks sincerely, telling me what it is. Thank you.
You hit the nail on the head. So many practicioners will NOT tell their patients this, but take their $$$, and the results are not great. Your honesty is refreshing !!!!!
gotta love a doctor that tells you to take care of yourself rather than an easy and profitable fix...subscribed
I literally found myself asking the question “why when celebrities get older their faces get puffy? “ well, now I know 😂
Laci Gold Lmaoooo
Lol literally thought the same. Thanks to this guy I know now.
They look like swollen alcoholics 😖
Bless this man - He's good enough to tell us. In years to come, this can cause problems with the nerves in the face, paralysis of one side or one part of the face, and other horrible things. WHY risk it. If we're not gorgeous - So what?? MOST of the world isn't - Build up your personality, not your FACE - Be comfortable in the skin you're in - It was meant for Yoooo!! How many people do we know who have a pretty/handsome face but are such a put off - Personality comes through!! Kind, caring, funny, good natured all these make up for good looks, any day!! Also, when we're young we don't realize how good looking we are. Save a picture you don't like and look at it when you age - You'll see what I mean. This filler stuff is nuts - UNnecessary!! Be good to your body, it's the only one you've got, and you need it to last. Hurt it, & it will retaliate - Better believe it!! Fillers - Seriously?? Not worth the risk!! Health is wealth, so work on being well, because that's a blessing!!
AH I so appreciate you. I get so many people, injectors recommending getting jawline filler, cheek filler to help balance my face but all I can picture is it spreading and flattening and making my face look more round and less defined. I wanna send this video to half the injectors in my area. Thank you for such a intelligent video.
I went to go get fillers in a moment of weakness, the doctor told me "no" until I adopted better skin care based on my lifestyle. I'm grateful for that
How could he tell your skin care regimen?
@S M Lol! I thought it was something he could tell by her skin, XD!!! I was about to go staring at my skin, ha ha! Thx :D
@@Cinnabar_and_Chalcanthite a good dermatologist will ask you about your skincare regime. Mine asked me if I was doing skin treatments, such as microdermabrasion, peels, fraxel laser etc... as someone in late 20s / early 30s, investing in propper skin treatments that treat the skin is a good way to improve skin quality, something fillers and botox don't do.
@@mariagabbott Thank you Maria so much!
Same thing happened with me. Went for teeth whitening, and the doctor said NO, your teeth are white already, no need for that. Except you need teeth cleaning which i will recommend only after six months. Thanks to that Doctor

Finally somebody is so honest to tell this!
Your videos are so important for everyone who wants to do fillers !
Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪🙌🏽
We love your videos !
I got that tear through (5:40) years ago and I'm really happy about it 🙂 It's the only thing I've done, but it taught me two things 1) they said that fillers would only last a few months, it has lasted years 2) it gave me small wrinkles underneath the eye (crows feet)
My moms 66 with 0 work done and she’s the reason I’ll never touch my face, she’s beautiful and I’d be lucky to be half as beautiful at her age.
Ur beautiful too !
Same, my mother is 55 only drinks water and her skin is still super tight and no wrinkles. Ppl never believe how old she is

We need less fillers and more confidence.
we need to move our bodies
we need to feed our bodies plant-based food as much as possible
We need to stop contributing to a society that idealizes what “attractive” form looks like. Celebrities weight increase/decrease makes headlines, it’s gotta stop.
@@JanPyt Tragically there is a substantial amount of airhead interest to know about these "celebrities"'s awful lives!

Emotional filler.
I’m glad you mentioned “transitions“ of the face. I lost a lot of weight very quickly during and after quarantine. I’ve always had big protruding eyes, and the loss of fat has my eyes casting crazy tear trough shadows that make me look tired and 10+ years older. After a lot of research, I believe I’m dealing with a mid face deficiency that I would love to have corrected with light cheek fillers. Thanks for all of your videos.
@s m yeah I’m pissed about it. Tretinoin helped tighten up the skin but the line is still there. I’m hoping to get fillers when I reach my goal weight. Did you do anything about the lines or did you just let them be?
You can get a tear trough implant.
Finally a knowledgeable professional who can clearly articulate how to use fillers to enhance and not change o deformed the face. Yes! This is the sort of care and consideration you want in an injector. It’s critical to have someone who has your best interest in mind and doesn’t just do what you say, because as patients, we don’t always know what will give us the best results. ✨✨👏❤️
When will people get it? It's better to look old than fake and pillow-faced.
nirmaleva so true. Not only that the fillers change the mobility of your face so your face moves weird when you speak
nirmaleva 🙌 amen to that!
And, there's nothing wrong with looking your age! It's a sign of maturity and a life filled with experiences.
There’s no such thing as an attractive old person. Youth is beauty.
@@kellawella1261 Beauty comes in many different forms. Open your eyes!
Aly Art made an interesting observation: that when the human body has infection, it becomes inflamed and puffy in the affected area. So even when someone has fairly subtle fillers, we still get that "uncanny valley" feeling, because we, on an almost subliminal level, will recognise the puffiness as sickness.
She is a very astute and insightful person. I watch her too.

Thank you for making this video! I am just 23 years old and since i was 20 my laugh lines were already static due to alot of weight loss (40kg). Since a couple of months ive been noticing them more and more but i dont want to get anything done about my face because its my canvas of life. But its quite hard to not feel insecure about it.
When you google: Are laugh lines beautifull the only thing that pops up are plastic surgeons. That shit bothers me alot because they create unrealisitic beauty standards and they profit of insecurities of people. And i understand you help the people get rid of their insecurity but you create them for the others by helping that person. I just wanted to see some positive points about getting/having wrinkles but the only thing i found was how to get rid of them. The stigma around wrinkles is so misplaced at the moment and i am waiting for the revolution were everyone is considered beatifull just the way they are/age.
Sorry for the long comment but im just really fed up with this. Don't get it wrong i respect you for not filling up faces anymore but i just think the beauty standards that are created cause unnecessary distress for alot of people.
And to the one person that reads this comment: You are beautifull and special just the way you are, don't let anyone ever tell you anything different.
I'm 30 and I dermaroll my face at home and my skin and little lines are going away, there's other ways to improve lines and wrinkles other than pumping fillers into the skin
One of the most beautiful men I know, has them on early age: Jensen Ackles. If you see Supernatural pilot episode, there they are. I think he takes care of his body and face ('cus it shows), but his crow feet shows how much he loves to laugh.
Huh? Get back to us when you are 40. You’re 23 honey 🙄

Thank you very much for all your hard work and for being so professional, caring and honest, Dr Chan. I wish there were more Doctors like you.
Did not search for this, has no interest in getting plastic surgery but subbed. Interesting good video.
It's kind of an art form. I really don't have the money to get surgery but I like to see what goes into it. I'm definitely getting my facelift someday though!
Am I the only one who finds Dr Gavin very attractive?

Thank you for addressing this disturbing use of fillers. I think it changes people too much I appreciate your honesty and great points
Probably first person who I subsicribed first time for myself who is so trualy so realistic , I was thinking for some fillers in my lips or behinde the eyes witch I haven't done before but this man opened my eyes and maked me be more sure that true beauty its irreplaceble. Stay Nature! 🌱🌻
“There’s so many over filled faces out there” (shows images of jaclyn hill, kylie jenner, and madonna no tea no shade) 💀
And Jennifer Aniston currently!! The filler is floating over her whole face, her face is so wide!!
Happened to me, didn't feel attractive from ages 17-23, lost my baby face fat and I'm confident now at age 26.
Ugh I'm 26 and still waiting for my baby fat to get off my face 😭 I have huge fat cheeks
I’m 19 rn, and lots of people mistake me for being 12-14 years old because I have a baby face. Its not the worst thing in the world, I’ll probably like that I look young when I’m in my 40s. But I want to look a little more attractive rather than looking like a kid. I hope I “grow into my face” as I enter my 20s.
29 and have the same face as 17. I like it sometimes others I don’t. I’m not messing with my face with surgery. I use tretinoin and spf only. Life is good.
Yeah, I noticed at 25 I was looking more sophisticated! It comforted me a lot because I was afraid of getting older. I am almost 35 now and I think I look really good! It helps that I have oily skin (yay acne!) and I never tanned after age 14.
KH Kayla meeee i’m 21 and people think i’m 16 all the time. i used to work at a store that IDed at the door and people often asked me if i was old enough to work there lol. i hope my face slims down otherwise i’m considering buccal fat removal
I am almost 60 and have been doing facial exercises for 4 years because I had bone loss in face and it was very noticeable. Surgeons built the bone back up in my jaw using my bone but I had to build the muscles in face with exercises and no fillers. The commitment and dedication to these exercises are not easy but it does work and I can feel and see the muscles in my face.
Are you doing facial yoga?
@@canoegirl6335 I do facial exercises and facial yoga. Facial yoga for me was not enough to build the muscle. I use Facerobics program 5 days a week and then usually a facial message every night and facial yoga on the weekends.
I have to admit its not easy to be that dedicated but I have no choice because I have seen what the loss of muscle does to the face. I will be committed to this routine for the rest of my life. I love the "strength" I literally can feel in my face. It works.

Why can’t people just grow old?? It is what it is. Your going to have to eventually let it go.
It's as if people think that these drastic anti ageing procedures will give them eternal life.
Some people are just insecure, and that’s perfectly fine people can do what they wish with their bodies to each their own.
Joeistherealest - thats only going to help on the outside, and for only so long. Security comes from within and until you figure that out you’ll always be chasing it.... eventually your going to age so you need to be ready for it mentally... fillers or not!
Brèagha- we’re talking about fillers and growing old doesn’t mean your broken...you will have wrinkles. That is what I am talking about. Trying to fix wrinkles 🧐 Scars or something maybe, but just aging Nah! There is nothing wrong with getting wrinkles..l somewhere along the line people began not excepting wrinkles. Not sure why that happened, but its a natural process!
I inject filler and botox in my face and for myself, I consider it no different than dying white or grey hairs or putting on makeup. Am I insecure? 🤣 not a chance!! Just a preference, that's all.
I’m turning 30 this year and I was looking at my pictures from my late teens/early 20s and I have to agree my face has contoured out for some reason and I think I look waaay more attractive now vs then
If that's your profile pic I concur👍
You’re beautiful 🔥🔥
I turned 30, too, but I gained so much waight since my teens, that my face is actually fuller 😔
You're giving me hope as I am in my early 20s and have a very chubby face..
@@ghostlobster6631 yeah, my face had baby weight on it when I was younger. Every day even still I notice a subtle change and my jawline contouring. Definitely look into facial massages/ oils and masks before bed and face yoga while you’re younger! I only just discovered them and I think upkeep makes a difference
I love how you encourage people to get fit etc and not push surgery on them, it shows how professional you are. Thanks for sharing this. ☺️👍💖
I am so glad I watched this video. I've been contemplating getting fillers because my jawline is sagging. But after my 5th Botox filler in my forehead last Saturday I still have terrible bruising (this is the first time I've bruised like this) and now thinking that'll be my last injection. I'm 52 and wish I could just embrace aging naturally. I always said I would until about 4 years ago when I started noticing the forehead lines and my jawline dropping. Your video just popped into my feed and I will take that as a sign! Thank you!
I too hope that fifty and sixty year old women will learn to love and embrace aging naturally... I am 30 and sometimes need the encouragement from the women before me that I too can accept my age as it comes.
I stopped Botox after several years and now I feel like my forehead wrinkles are so much worse (but it’s probably just the contrast of having been “smooth” for so long). I am trying to accept aging, but I have also learned that there are natural ways to take care of your skin and facial structure that can help you look and feel better - gua sha and face yoga. They are natural and gradual and gentle and chemical free methods which we in the West are often too impatient to look into.
These people don’t think their face are constantly changing. These 20 something year olds are going to look horrible come their 30s 40s
This is what im interested in seeing 20 years from now 🧐
My surgeon stopped me from getting a buccal(?) fat pad removal on my face when I was younger by telling me that my face would become more defined as I age, and he was so right. I never understood the trend of bloated, puffy fillerized faces!

I love that you're honest in your advice
What happens if your immune system eats away some fat pads in your cheeks and suddenly the face looks gaunt? Can that be corrected by increasing the general weight? Because it is different when you loose fat by exercising and eating little and the immune system attack. Can those fat pads be recovered?
My tear troughs filled in naturally when I started getting enough sleep. Since COVID shut everthing down, I've had 7-8 hours sleep every night for 3 months. I always thought that was a line of BS but it turns out sleep literally is "beauty rest".
For me eating more bananas did magic to my under eyes and skin in general.
I sleep 9-10 hours every night and still have them 😭😭😭😭
You can literally see mine in baby photos there’s no hope for me other than fillers 😭
@@mariemai2902 Thanks, I'll try that!
Marie Mai It was probably the potassium in the bananas . Most of us don’t get enough and our skin needs it . Magnesium is another one that is good for skin we don’t get enough of .
Surgery isn't necessary. Just eat healthy, have a good skincare routine, wear sun screen, exercise to be/stay fit, brush your teeth, go to the dentist and be a happy person.
Charmaine Espeut surgery is necessary after a certain age, in order to cut off the saggy skin. No amount of healthy food and brushing teeth can replace a good facelift.

@Veronica Bolanos Women don't age for the worse until they are 35 and up. If you don't look good between 18-35 then you will never look good unfortunately.
The opening line - yes!! I get botox but not filler. I am 34, size 8 and have a small head. Getting filler would make my proportions look strange. I just don't understand why people get so much filler when all it does is make your face look bigger , fluffier. Ive lost facial volume but my jaw line looks more defined and I like how my face looks so much better with this loss of volume.
As a girl with angular, defined features that I'm super self conscious about (especially my hollow temples, pointy brow ridge and jaw/cheek shape) I REALLY appreciate this
I couldn't agree with him more. This video should be required viewing for anyone using fillers, or thinking about using fillers.
And the weird thing is that some people seem to get addicted to the filling even if their faces overall look clearly less atractive than before
F
Timti
They don't like the result and make the mistake of thinking more is the answer, when it's less. People find it very difficult to admit mistakes to themselves.
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 😩
This is because they don't love themself and think that changing their appearance will change that....it doesn't unfortunately.
they are sick
I’m not totally anti-cosmetic surgery and treatments (and personally love Botox), but I’ve always thought fillers look bad on EVERYONE. I see some of these young, beautiful women with unnaturally inflated faces and am just baffled. Literally makes people look like aliens.

In a more recent video, she looks like she has been on PREDNISONE, too.
That head swelled like that ego. I ain't got time for her lol
I think it's fat, water retention combined with fillers
no. her body doesn’t match her face enough to call it fat.
Sushmita: "you cannot create definition with fillers" I believe this is so true!
Thank you for discussing this. I have seen so many celebrities I grew up with gradually morph into someone completely different after doing facial procedures, often looking less attractive in my opinion. I am fearful of any kind of face treatment and think poorly of the plastic surgery field for making people look so bizarre.
Exactly, finally the true approach to what fillers actually does.
@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.
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.
@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
@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
While so many Asian women are doing everything to shave off the jawline that many non Asians are filling up. 🤦🏻♀️
The whole you always want what you don't have is reeeallll.
ikr damn
Same with tan skin
@@COVID--kf3tx YES. Know that too damn well.. I go to Thailand for 2 weeks and come back 3 shades darker I bet some of them look at me in horror.... :O
Caron Tan the Asians getting surgery on jaw is because they have a square face. They shave it to get pointed more feline jaw
@@maroonhorizon1693 I know that.. I have a rather squarish and wide face too. It has bothered me a lot.. comments from friends and family don't help much either. Even some of these girls who got surgery their face don't look all bad to start with. You are your own worst critic
Absolutely amazing work, you are saving some lives with these videos. Thank you!
You are a honest surgeon .. I totally agree with you . I hope people listen to you and gain the benefit of your advice ..
*"his jaw sort of blends into his neck" - is I'm guessing the nicer, professional version of someone saying you have a double chin* lol
Karen D or “no neck”. Lol.
it just made me think of the bob burgers chin lol
jabba the hut
😂
The man has tact. That’s for sure.
Too many are overdone, ends up as round ball Clown faces, so sad!
True
Or as Greg Giraldo said on Joan Rivers roast, why would you pay to look like a surprised cat fish?
@@ThisGuyRides Yeah, it' s really insane. And they are all over the IG, beliving they are pretty, but to be honest, there looks scares ppl!
and bouncy.
It's baffling to me that celebrities have all this money to afford the very best doctors yet end up with botched results.
I have difficulty concentrating on what you're saying because I'm distracted by how good-looking you are. ;) Seriously though, your channel and content are valuable and I thank you for uploading and having the integrity to share your views and values in public. Thank you Dr Chan. :)
i came from dr. gary's channel and subscribed to you also. thank you doctors. you are helping a lot of people ❤
I definitely feel more attractive heading into my 30s✨
Same 🤗 I'm 35 and never felt better or looked better
27, and look waaaay better than I did at 22-23.
I just turned 28 and I agree
This is true everybody is objectively even you.
i care less as i get older. im not interested in being attractive to anyone, but i really dont want to look scary by not caring for my appearance at all lol its a delicate balance of doing the bare minimum and making an actual effort
“He’s happy but he looks like an egg” 😂😂
Canada Love
Search Chinese egg man
Oh gawd and the way the doctor chuckled at that part got me haha
@Canada Love One punch man :))
The funniest shit I’ve heard in a while 🤣🤣
😂😂😂
Very fitting to use Jen Connelly as an example of beauty 🤩
Edit: I agree that she gets more attractive as she gets older.
Thanks for the info!
I'm a male and I peaked as far as my looks in my late 30s and early 40s. However, it's all goes downhill fast after age 45 - looks, health (physical and mental). I'm 49 now. Aging sucks ass.
For me, as I get older, I feel more comfortable in my own skin than ever before.
@@florencetown4024 your 30 and you think your old hahaha 😁 .... You won't feel anything until 40/45 ... Your natural hgh and hormones will be a mess then
I have always wonder why they wanted to fatten their face. At last some common sense.
Its supposed to make them look "youthful". Baby fat look. It doesn't work.
but too skinny isn't good either, it ages people a lot...
Im considering getting filler for my smile lines, it looks weird in photos i look old because of the weird cervices on my smile lines when i do poker face
@@angelabby2379 even after watching the video, do you still want to get fillers?
@@angelabby2379 filler is not meant to remove lines...it's meant to add volume (like for lips or cheekbones). Adding volume in your smile lines will make you look weird especially since it will move around...as he said in the video it's not effective. Consider makeup techniques to lift the shadows in that area...if that doesn't work research other procedures.
Someone tried insulting me by saying I look like I've had fillers but I'm really just chub w high cheekbones
so.. you already have what they want.
Their jealous because your naturally beautiful...
Dont worry what people say. No matter You are beautiful..
So that's your natural face? Wow
Just answer HAHAHA yes, I got it free and had fixed in my tummy. HAHAHA
I’m getting Botox tomorrow with a new injector and was highly considering doing jawline and cheek fillers for the first time- thank you thank you thank you for stopping me. I’ve gotten a much more contoured and chiseled face as I’ve gotten farther into my twenties, but I recently had an injector suggest adding filler to “balance” my profile, which kind of surprised me as I’ve thought I had a decent jawline- I mean I’m no Margot Robbie but you know. I don’t have a perfect face but I was happy with what I did have before that injector’s comment. I’ll go back to being happy again.
I hope you left that injector😢
This is such a wonderful candid video and I highly appreciated it. Thank you.
Honesty. He actually took the time to explain it to us the consumer, in clear layman terms. He cares. Bless you doctor. I wish you good heath and prosperity.
I am saving this to my important archives and sending it to my daughters.
Lisa Bonet is another great example of how even more lovely a face can look when a bit of baby fat is lost. Her cheekbones are incredible. She looks great.
Totally agree!! In fact, I couldn't agree more👏
Sooo true!
She is absolutely stunning
I've met her and in real life she doesn't look very healthy but she's incredibly thin so that could be why.
So true
Perfect example is Kylie Jenner. The fillers worked at first, as they all seemingly do, but after years of routine injections, her face got much chubbier over time! She’s still beautiful in my opinion, but a chubby face is clearly the end point/ long term effects of these procedures.
I am so glad I found you! Thank you for all you do!
compare teenage Angelina Jolie vs adult Angelina Jolie; she had a baby face but as she got older, her face became more sharp and defined and she looks amazing. this also happened to Margot Robbie.
She had a lot of work done though, or not?
It didn't happen naturally tho...a lot of plastic surgery was involved
they got buccle fat removal. check out lorry hill youtube videos
She had surgery as well. Especially on her blocky jawline.
Buccal fat surgery is really cheap and quick without masses of down time. She might have had that as I know the pics of her when she was young, her cheeks are chubby.
I’m 70 and 2yrs ago I stop dying my hair and I love it, I will never go back. I love my beautiful silver healthy shiny hair. So far I’ve had nothing done to my face. O
People can’t believe I’m 70 and I get compliments on my hair.
You have to watch our video on transformation is not for everyone... It's about the same topic!
Thankfully you didn't inject any foreign substances into your face when you were younger!!!
@@wildswan221 yes, especially after I read that when you have procedures done on your face that the elasticity will never be the way it was and you have to keep doing it.
@@viccosmeticinstitute how can I get the video?
My Mom stopped dying her hair when she was 60 and her hair turned out to be a bright white naturally and it looks amazing, it looks better than when she was dying it black.
I so wish you were in NYC!! I don't suppose you could recommend a Dr. that's as thoughtful, careful, and knowledgeable as you are? I watched your tear trough video and I've NEVER had a Dr. discourage me from fillers there, so now I don't trust them.
This doctor is wonderful telling us the real truth. Which gives each person to make their own decision after they know all the information first. The pros and cons.
Wow. Finally an Aesthetic Doc who doesn't put MONEY before his Clients' Well being. Bravo👏👏👏👏❤❤❤
Having to see latest photo of Madona in tub I am terrified. She looks like old baby. It's not cute, it's creepy.
old asian baby!
BeBee Doll “old baby”......yes, you got it
BeBee Doll old baby is the best definition
Madonna uses clips on her back actually, she folded those saggy skin hence why it looks like an old baby.
BeBee Doll old baby 😔 oh no
Dr. Chan is a gift of intelligence, common sense and love.
I wish I never had gotten fillers or fat transfer HUGE MISTAKE thank you for speaking the truth I think when fillers first came out there wasn’t enough research obviously done about it and many of us were guinea pigs for it I take responsibility for not being careful enough that was my fault even though the doctor then said the opposite of what you’re saying now obviously
i believe this physician.
he's got the highest most well defined cheekbones i have ever seen!
I’m so glad I watched this because my doctor told me I would need a minimum of three syringes to “enhance“ my features. You are the only doctor that is telling us not to put too much filler in our faces and it’s information that is well needed. I only wish you lived in Canada.🙏💕
It all depends on how you place it. The placement is more important than the volume when it comes to making someone look good with filler.
@@viccosmeticinstitute he talks about that 3:00 into the video and says how his believe is that long term the fillers flatten so placement really doesn't matter in the end. How would you respond to that? (Not arguing just curious what your opinion is)
@@1sTEfFaniE1 the filler tends to spread a little but is relatively cohesive so doesn't completely flatten or go across to the other side of the face
You are a genuine honest great Doctor 💎
He seems like an ethical doctor, so I subscribed
