I think that’s more the case for beauty influencers but not celebrities, excluding the Kardashian’s if you consider them celebrities, seems they do just about anything for money
The thing I hate about most filler is you've got 22 year olds using it, looking like they're 40 year olds trying to appear 20? Does that make sense? I dunno if it's subconscious, but it really ages you.
Our niece is a pretty girl but she is 22 and doing fillers. Has been since she was a teen. P s. It doesn't make sense to me. I never did fillers and just look 10+years younger cause all these young ppl just look old now.
It really does age you though! For context, I’m 40, and I’m pretty friendly with my neighbour. A few weeks ago I was having a chat with her and she mentioned her b’day was coming up. I asked her how old she was turning and she replied with a chirpy “21!”…. I actually laughed at her openly because I thought she was joking, until I saw her hurt feelings and realised she was serious. I felt terrible! She honestly looks 30, (not that that’s old at all!) I legit thought she was 10 years younger than me… not 20. I tried to backtrack but the damage was already done. Mind you, she’s pumped full of silicone, fillers and Botox it shocked me how much all that stuff had aged her!

Little experience of mine cause i hope it helps someone. I'm a mediterran woman. I'm 36 people always think I'm in my early mid 20s. Iv never had anything done. I don't have the thinnest but also not fullest lips. I been forever slightly overlining them when I feel like it. I also have a pretty long nose and an unideal side profile (those aren't made up insecurities lmao I really do have quite a long nose). I contour it when I feel like it but u cant contour lenght. One thing iv experienced all my life is ppl saying I'm an exceptional beautiful stunning woman. Success with men etc etc. I say all this not to toot my own horn but to remind ppl that ii 😂😂literally have the flaws that social media is currently obsessed with. A cute little nose and big lips and yet society doesn't perceive me as ugly. Quite the contrary. Iv faced jealousy and praise. These things shouldn't be goals in life but my whole point about this psot is that people. Real humans i the real world aren't obsessed with these minor features as much as u think. Ur face is a painting. Ur aura and the full picture is what attracts people to you. Also ur self confidence. Iv seen the prettiest young girls ov ever laid eyes on compare themselves to me and look me up n down insecurely on the train or bus. It sounds cliché but it really isn't always just about the looks. Find the style. And vibe that suits u most and underlines ur Charme. Unfollow tha influencer that make su insecure and instead follow the one tha maybe looks similar to u but u find them pretty either way
I'm an esthetician and pro MUA. I've been in the industry for over 14 years, so I have had a front row seat to the insecurities and obsession stemming from social media. I've started being brutally honest, but empathetic with my clients, letting them know what is real and achievable vs the highly edited filtered images online. I will have the client look in the mirror and point to their perceived flaws. Many times, they just need education and some knowledge.
thank you for your service, truly. Though you may consider chargin a bit more; it sounds like more than a MU appointment, your clients went to a therapeutic MU session hahaha
My beloved 91-year-old Grandma Donna died on October 14th. During her funeral last weekend, no one was mourning the loss of her aesthetic...we were mourning the loss of the gloriously wonderful, beautifully genuine, and empathetic woman she was. We need to get out of our own ways of accepting What Is.
The recent "polygraph" Ariana did was so infuriating. The gaslighting was off the charts with that one. And her stans are so ignorant, always defending her. When the truth is she looks like an entirely different person, not like she has just simply aged.
she called out her own brother for having had two nose jobs and then says she hasn't had any surgery... then says there is no shame in having surgery and power to the people who do that. the fuck??? she's on face number five!!
I really appreciate how you acknowledge risk without being alarmist. It makes it much more meaningful when you do talk about how dangerous and irresponsible some of this stuff is because I know you mean it.
We can’t even imagine what is going through his brain because as a plastic surgeon, a pro he knows exactly the butchery that the injector hack would have done to that person (victim??)
I grew up as a black girl with very large lips. Got made fun of in every which way for it in school. Now, the same people who made fun of me are getting lip fillers themselves looking like they’re about to be in an episode of botched
I seriously DON'T get it. People used to make fun of black people for large lips, tease East Asians for their eyes, and now they do lips fillers and lift their eyes the way they mocked Asians. Old people try their best to look young, and here we have a generation of 15-25 yo girls who look like they are in their 40s hahahahahaha. Not just fillers but veneers, too. I just don't get it. Why do they want to fix things which are not broken??? Those ppl need to seek help from psychologists, not plastic surgeons!
Same! Also for the big backside too. Now you all want this. Beauty standards are fickle and just move in trends and aren't worth paying so much heed to.
@@khanhlinhpham They wanna have those trending features while still looking Eurocentric overall. They'll take the full lips, slightly upturned eyes (they wouldn't want actual monolids though!), and maybe get tanner, but they don't _actually_ wanna look black or East/SE/Central Asian. For example, no one's clamoring to get a wider or flatter nose.
The fillered-up lips will never look like naturally big lips no matter what. It always shows and folks who do it and persist it's great just lie to themselves.
DON'T DO IT!! I got one and a half syringes back in 2019, then another "top off" in 2020. Now four years later, my cheeks push up under my eyes and makes me look odd! I wish I had known all this back then!
@@ilonaniinemae4735 When we had fillers put in our faces back in the late 2000s - we were told, "it is TEMPORARY, it will dissolve on it's own in 6 months." We really believed them. It was a lie.
The contrast between Gary’s low and soothing voice and Stephanie’s high-pitched voice had me💀 (I love the content of both but I always listen to them separately lol)
As I got older I noticed that my face got let's say more droopy. Since then I make an effort to smile more. It lifts the face and people react nicely to a smile as well. That's a win win situation.
I think as surgery and other procedures become more accessible natural beauty will become the “status symbol” that plastic surgery once was if that makes sense. I think we’re actually headed in a direction where celebs will be even less honest about procedures because in a way when everyone can afford it it becomes kind of gauche. Of course people will continue getting procedures but I think they’ll want it to be even less detectable (ex. How super perky and large fake boobs used to be the trend and now people want a Kendall Jenner boob job)
I worked with disabled people and there was a stroke patient getting botox injections in her arm to help with the stiffness. I cannot imagine using it for cosmetic instead of medical reasons.
As much as I sorta want plastic surgery at 52, I will also say there is something really nice about aging as a woman, and not being so stuck on my physical beauty. As a reasonably attractive woman in my younger years, I LIKE THAT THE PRESSURE IS OFF!! I never used to go out without makeup and hair done, and now I just know it doesn’t matter, and I just can be in comfy clothes and no makeup. No one sees me, and in a weird way I really like that.
I experienced the same thing at your age. Liberation! And yet, invisibility doesn’t last. Mine wore off in my late fifties. I’d ceased wearing "office face” makeup, just red lipstick and concealer. I have a wash and go shaggy haircut. I remain fit. I’ve got better things to do. *Poof* - visible to men over 40 and oddly, women of all ages.
I'm 39 and same! I'm no longer harassed by men and it makes me so happy. I'm not going to deny the aging process -- I'm grateful for the years I've lived and hope to have some more. After 40 my focus will be taking care of this body that is no longer at its peak, and to keep my mind sharp and continue learning.
68...so just pleased to be alive😂....it is fantastic being invisible..it is a super power.enjoy every moment..we are not here long enough to waste time .make the best of what you have ...and forget it for the day .💙uk
I've loved her content but really disappointed she's resorted to super clickbait/ragebait titles and calling all sorts of celebrities a "creep" with no context
18:08 this is such an interesting point to make. In the 90s-00s, there was a big obsession with skinniness. Models were starving themselves and doing drugs for the “heroin chic” look, leading to many young girls developing eating disorders. Now it’s the other way around, with fuller bodies and faces being trendy. The Kardashian’s and other celebrities started with BBLs, lip fillers, etc, then everyone else followed, leading to young girls risking their lives to have these surgeries. The cycle of women killing themselves while trying to achieve the beauty standard will just continue
The beauty standards are CREATED by other women! WE need to stop! Women also exclude each other from groups based on looks. I will fight anyone who denies this. We're catty asf and need to become more mature than this.
@@UltraGalacticSuperFantastic Yes exactly. Women are so hyper-critical of each other in a weird jealous way and we will never be free unless we stop obsessing over the way we look and trying to 'one-up' the other. Women have ZERO class solidarity or sense of community compared to other oppressed groups and it's killing us.
It's because she change her haircolor for that blond and the way she do her makeup. She was much more beautiful with her brown hair. Now she look so tired and skinny. The beauty of her features are lost with that blond. That doesn't suits her well. She look gorgeous with darker hair.
@StanarhymeswithDonna I actually had someone response to me about this comment and said that she had lost weight and she looks this way cause of her changing the way she does her make up. I said no, it's massive plastic surgery and told her to look at older pictures of Ariana. This woman must be blind.
I get the good place where Stephanie is coming from but she's so stressful...I feel stressed and uneasy everytime I watch her videos. Doc Gary has a very soothing voice and calm attitude, THANK YOU Doc for this.
I totally agree with you. The woman's voice I's utterly obnoxious whereas Dr Gary Linkov has an exceptionally and extremely attractive speaking voice. A voice can make or break a person.
@@carolinejones8382 I know, I just played Doc's videos in the background just for his calm tone, respectful way of communicating and very soothing voice. It is especially jarring when men raise their voice, rage (the opposite of calm) and to make it worse have a high pitched voice...I can't stand it. I lose respect for such men, I dont care if they have a PhD in Mathematics and are explaining the meaning of the Universe. I can't. This has become a deal breaker for me with men: emotional, raging, high pitched voice to "make a point", yelling of any type...It's a NO in business, friendships, dating, service provider, etc. Moreover, some men are very emotional and negatively charged and to cover it up and pretend to be calm they speak condescendingly. I just cut them off, I'm not even engaging.
Dr Gary I love that you do these reactions to Steph's videos - I enjoy her channel as a space where I don't feel alone in my avoidance of and discomfort with the mass filler/botox industry (the area I live in, when I walk down the high street sometimes it feels like I'm the only woman in 20s-30s that doesn't have lip filler) but I appreciate even more how you go over the points she makes and add further scientific additions and balanced discussion/debate. Really, really appreciate the job you do as an educator. You help people understand the beauty and aesthetics industry more which in turn helps people feel more confident. Thank you :)
I love your take on the like overly scary videos . I like your calmness and honesty and you see both sides. I love Stephanie but her videos give me anxiety and fear and shame. Yours make me feel like I’m learning not judging. I’m lowering my expectations and being more realistic love your videos
I have probably said this before, but there is something very calming and reassuring with Dr Gary's maner and approach. I know if I was his patient I would feel very comfortable with how honest and realistic he is with his approach to his patients and surgeries. I know he is a very good doctor. ❤
I started watching you around the time that I was seriously considering filler, and the logic that you work with in your presentation had me REALLY considering all options-before, after and in the future. I value your opinions and insight.
I feel like once you inject filler, it never truly goes away even if you dissolve it. Small amounts will always remain. That’s why I’m never getting it.
Ive been following Stephanie since the very very start, and I love her. She’s always been transparent, even when she got work done to fix her headaches and eyebrows for her hooded eyes. I’m so glad you and her respond to each other lately cause you’re both so helpful and great honest content creators that are not about the hypes. I love how you add to her videos with your doctors information and wisdom. ❤ more of these please.
?could you elaborate idk maybe i didnt get enough sleep. Although i will say her showing jaclyn hills face as swelled because of filler when its more probable that its from alcoholism seems a bit sketch but otherwise Stephanie makes great points
*_I really appreciate experienced doctors, who don’t spread fear mongering & truly educate us. They don’t necessarily judge but they will call out nonsense so that the average person understands. No buzz words & exaggerated emotions. Just facts & related examples._* 🤓👍❤️🥳
Most people look horrible with fillers and most plastic surgery gives that uncanny look. Most of these ladies are pretty and don’t need so many plastic surgeries and fillers to look nice. Their small lips go with their features.
@@danan9061I saw that, he did look good. Also want to know: is it true that PRP & PRF may not be a great option if a person wants to get a Lindsay Lohan and Demi Morore level face lift down the line (if said person can afford it of course), because of the scar tissue PRP & PRF may cause in some patients?
@@danan9061heyy, Dr. Linkov answered our questions in a newer video “I Tried To Make My Face Younger I Plastic Surgeon Reacts” and a previous video “Reverse Facial Aging And Fat Loss WITHOUT Surgery! (Sculptra)”
I thoroughly enjoyed this episode and will be watching more often. Your honesty is wholesome and honorable. Please keep it coming and don’t lose yourself to the “fame”. Thank you for your time
@@mightytaiger3000well she is special to me. For many years I had soaked in information, and tried to create practices to help me be healthy and love myself as a person, but could never defeat my lifelong facial dysmorphia! It was very bad during parts of my cycle, was fueled by tiny glimpses of the beauty industry, influencers etc. and totally stunted me now looking back. It wasn’t until I watched 4-6 her videos a couple of years ago, and what can I say- she made a profound positive effect on me and many of her viewers!! I am finally free of such feelings and can finally enjoy my unique features!
I have always thought about these celebrities having to look at their children in the face and see all of the things they disliked and changed about themselves. If i had a daughter and had to explain why I looked like her when I was her age and changed many of the things that she inherited from me because I didn't like them, I would feel incredibly ashamed 😔
@j-ymoney5112 your twin is your age, and you didn't give birth to them. Imagine the insecurities it would put on a young teen who already has enough to deal with through social media. Your reply doesn't make sense because it's not even close to the circumstances I'm talking about.
@@ChrisJack1212 no actually it’s worse than what you say lol my face is duplicated onto another human more so than a daughter and mother. If you have plastic surgery it’s because you didn’t like something on your own face and your kid has nothing to do with your face, and when they are old enough they will have their own opinions on how they look and opinions on plastic surgery and if you are a good parent you will focus on making them feel loved and accepted despite how you feel about yourself and your own looks. I my not have given birth to my twin but I’ve spent my whole life being a duo and if she got something done, I wouldn’t take it personally nor would I call into question the feature she changed on my own face. That’s her face. She likes her nose I hate mine. We have the same nose. My opinion does not drag down her opinion of her nose. The kid will feel the way they feel about their looks, because everyone does develop their own personal preferences.
@@j-ymoney5112 The issue here is: If you are an identical twin and you say you do not like something about your face that would mean you also dislike it on your twin's face as well. Of course, your twin could care less. As a parent, some of your offspring get your features, i.e. the same nose. The parent got surgery one the nose. The child inherited this nose and might feel insecure about it since it realised the parent went under the knife to "fix" theirs. How would the parent explain to the child that their nose is totally fine when they went to extreme measures to get it changed?
That was absolutely spot on Dr. !!! If we don't have the money or where with all to get surgeries like this, and then compare ourselves to the celebrities that have the money to do this- when they proclaim that they've not done anything , we look down upon ourselves so terribly when we need to know hey, this is not natural! I actually paid for this huge unnatural change .And it does end up helping those of us who are not celebrities to feel better about ourselves. I think you have done so much to help us along that path about feeling better about ourselves Thank you as always for all of your wonderful videos.❤
I fortunately have a lovely dermatologist who is honest about what will look good and what won’t. I got lip filler for the first time last year and I was told they wouldn’t do over a certain amount. It is definitely still there and I can feel it, even after a year! I will go back and get little bits but it absolutely stays, y’all.
We don't know if Kylie's doctor is actually good. Actually I would wager to say that the work(if she's just going to just one person) shows is they are not the "top". A good doctor would tell you no to too much filler and wouldn't cave for money.
Lasers, nitrogen treatments (doctor basically burns the scar with it and it deflates into a smaller scar. 2-3 treatments get rid of it) or hormone injections. But!!! the scars may return. My got my post surgery keliod injected about a year ago and it stared growing again (not as big, but I notice). My scar after a laser birthmark removal that I got treated with liquid nitrogen also started slowly returning like 5-6 years later
@@thectyptid00 wow about the nitrogen treatment I've never really heard of this one. I thought costeroide injections and radio frequency microneedling are the best one so far. But thankyou for replying tho!
@@ninismanofoot nitrogen is top tier as far as my experience goes. It leaves a bubbled up burn for week or two but it works faster than laser/microneedling and it is cheaper (at least in my country). Find a good healthcare provider though, all scar treatments can easely be messed up and leave even nastier scars
Intro up to 0:50 ouch! When losing the sense of measure sometimes becomes a nightmare and a proof you are rather mindless too but you fail to accept this.Tragic!
I know someone who had a medically necessary surgery on her jaw, where they broke her jaw and kind of set it more forward? And she went to therapy afterwards because she struggled with not recognising the image in the mirror as herself if that makes sense. I wonder how it affects your self image if you get plastic surgery or nonsurgical procedures like fillers a lot
People don't realise when you keep trying to fix yourself on the outside, you'll still never feel good enough on the inside. This is legit mental illness.
Doctor, thank you for the video! Your voice is so soothing. I am sure you’re extremely busy. But if you’d record an audio book, I’d pay for it. I am sure many others would too! 😅
I really appreciate both of your content. Thank you for taking the time to explain in detail so many aspects of these current procedures for people all over the world. Every video is valuable and we can confidently share the information with others who may be interested ✨
I agree, the best injectors are using small quantities and want their clients to represent their work. They know when to tell you to STOP. I have had about 4 cc’s injected all over my face in a period of 2 years. I got it to help balance my face and help with symmetry. I’m very happy with my results and know it will probably be in my face for years. I don’t need to go back every 6 months as many practitioners have talked their patients into thinking they need to do in order to keep their results.
When i was in middle school, i became obsessed with Joan Rivers' stand-up. Comedy aside, she was always very brazen about her surgeries and never shyed away from it. That kind of personality that showed me when you live in your truth and stand firm in your decisions; you become unfuckable with in a way.
By saying “we’ve learned to use the more moderation,” you’re really underselling the big issue here. When filler first came out, they were telling my sister that it’ll be dissolved within six months to a year. Years later, she came and said I still have filler. I can feel it in my lips. They were gaslighting her telling her it’s not true. They didn’t know enough about this stuff to be injecting it into peoples faces! But anything for money $$$$$$ I work in a medical field and that’s how it is
I have 2 beautiful neighbors, they are gorgeous. They keep getting/talking about getting more work done. They can’t see it’s actually making them look worse. It’s becoming so obvious because of how much they continue to do. It’s crazy, I’m not sure if they can’t see it because they are addicted, or if they are just super insecure. Super sad though, because much like the women in this video, they were beautiful before and certainly didn’t need it.
I’ve always known this stuff about filler- how it obviously stretches the skin, not only by balloon effect but also increased weight means a greater pull of gravity on the skin, and all of the manipulation of the skin also stretches it. Still, I did it once stupidly because a friend was recommending it. TG I never did it again.
Also, @doctorgarylinkov I also think many, many people still don’t know the difference between ‘Botox’ and fillers. I think most people assume when some celebrity has gone too far, they attribute much of it to Botox. I do think much of the overdone faces are, yes, a result of too much filler and/or too much surgery. Botox does not ‘dramatically’ affect your appearance. It minimizes wrinkles.
I often think about the effect parents have to their kids. Imagine growing up to look like your parent when he/she started changing his/hers face. It's like the parent already said that hey, that face doesn't look good - it needs to change. It'll be interesting to see when the Kardashian kids grow up in that sense
I’d avoid filler totally considering it always migrates and can clog your lymph nodes, also it doesn’t go away and shows up years later on mris, I can’t see why that would ever be worth it
I’ve had very noticeable dents in my under eye area ever since childhood, not eye bags not aging symptoms, just a hollow area above my plump cheeks. It pisses me off so much I used to consider HA filler. But after learning all the side effects…. nah, I’ve made it 27 years with them so far, they can stay
Filler causes “cancer”. Filler was marketed as dissolvable as they “disappeared” but now we know it shifts and “disappears” from its original location. It doesn’t really fully disappear from the body. It can drift to lymph nodes and can affect the lymphatic system. People speculate this could wreak havoc and lead to lymphatic cancer.
22:37 woof…idk if selling plastic surgery as an alternative to therapy or medication is reasonable. Some people have chemical imbalances that need to be helped with medication and no amount of filler is going to help with that.
Therapy is multifaceted, one of those facets being pharmacotherapy. It's not all about x y or z, it's a large sum of all the different therapeutic approaches, which should not be disregarded. Botox and fillers aren't therapy but my hormone replacement sure is lol
I had a little filler in my tear through three years ago and it changed my life for the better. It was very subtle, it looks natural and three years later on it is still in place.
8:04 thats interesting, i always just assumed that the skin over time returns to its original size especially if there isnt a large amount of inflation/ stretching involved like with abdomen skin after pregnancy (lots of stretching) but a 0.5-1 mL of filler in the lips or cheeks isnt that much volume. im not really sure
@MariaCastro-jm5qn I mean they're watching this video, which is educational on the matter, and sharing their personal experience, which is valuable to the conversation. Attacking people getting injectables isn't going to achieve anything.
It's good that you're open with it, but personally I'm shook that anyone is letting this stuff near their faces lol There are also reports of the acid going into the brain
@@unturned6066 So, Brazil is a reference in plastic surgery and there are many more safety measures adopted here than in the US. The relationship we have with the procedures here is very different from what you have in North America. I read the latest studies on acid and they are really worrying for those who do it a lot. In my case, it was just one dose once... I'm very happy with the result, since after a long depression my skin became very saggy, and today I'm very confident again.
Do you have any opinions on the ez gel filler? I understand it is made from your own blood but wondering what the side effects or long term effects are
I think this girl does a better service than anyone else on the internet we need to stop getting better at looking younger and start getting better at feeling better and doing better for each other
we need to get better at accepting how we look and age.

The fillers don't work at de aging someone either
When celebrities don't admit to surgery, I don't think it has anything to do with personal liberation... but all to do with what beauty products they can sell to "look like me"
Exactly.

Well , that leaves me up because I don't want to look like them so in the only reason they look like that is because of plastic surgery so I'll pass

Ur face is a painting. Ur aura and the full picture is what attracts people to you. Also ur self confidence. Iv seen the prettiest young girls ov ever laid eyes on compare themselves to me and look me up n down insecurely on the train or bus. It sounds cliché but it really isn't always just about the looks. Find the style. And vibe that suits u most and underlines ur Charme. Unfollow tha influencer that make su insecure and instead follow the one tha maybe looks similar to u but u find them pretty either way
I'm an esthetician and pro MUA. I've been in the industry for over 14 years, so I have had a front row seat to the insecurities and obsession stemming from social media. I've started being brutally honest, but empathetic with my clients, letting them know what is real and achievable vs the highly edited filtered images online. I will have the client look in the mirror and point to their perceived flaws. Many times, they just need education and some knowledge.
GOOD! Thank you 🙏🏼
@@jenm9099 - do you ever post videos of your MUA looks or Esthetician services? I love that kind of content. I would subscribe!
That’s fantastic! 💫
💯
thank you for your service, truly. Though you may consider chargin a bit more; it sounds like more than a MU appointment, your clients went to a therapeutic MU session hahaha
My beloved 91-year-old Grandma Donna died on October 14th. During her funeral last weekend, no one was mourning the loss of her aesthetic...we were mourning the loss of the gloriously wonderful, beautifully genuine, and empathetic woman she was.
We need to get out of our own ways of accepting What Is.
Dr. Linkov reacting to Stephanie's videos is one of my fave subgenres 😂
The recent "polygraph" Ariana did was so infuriating. The gaslighting was off the charts with that one. And her stans are so ignorant, always defending her. When the truth is she looks like an entirely different person, not like she has just simply aged.
Exactly. She was perfectly fine before and it's completely obvious that she's done something.
She’s lying to herself at this point. She botched her face and she knows it. That’s why she’s so unwell and insecure.
she called out her own brother for having had two nose jobs and then says she hasn't had any surgery... then says there is no shame in having surgery and power to the people who do that. the fuck??? she's on face number five!!
It just goes to show the whole polygraph celebrity thing is staged
@@Hummingbow polygraphs in general are not able to tell if someone is lying or not. it can just detect changes in heart rate, etc.
I really appreciate how you acknowledge risk without being alarmist. It makes it much more meaningful when you do talk about how dangerous and irresponsible some of this stuff is because I know you mean it.
Would you be able to be alarmist if it's his profession
You have such a calming voice, and you're educating the masses, thank you.
He could start an ASMR channel if he wanted to.
Doctor loves Stephanie’s content hehe
it's so wholesome
The absolutely horrified face of Dr. Linkov breaking his usual composure.
We can’t even imagine what is going through his brain because as a plastic surgeon, a pro he knows exactly the butchery that the injector hack would have done to that person (victim??)
I can’t wait for the natural looking or normal looking trend to come back
I grew up as a black girl with very large lips. Got made fun of in every which way for it in school. Now, the same people who made fun of me are getting lip fillers themselves looking like they’re about to be in an episode of botched
I seriously DON'T get it. People used to make fun of black people for large lips, tease East Asians for their eyes, and now they do lips fillers and lift their eyes the way they mocked Asians. Old people try their best to look young, and here we have a generation of 15-25 yo girls who look like they are in their 40s hahahahahaha. Not just fillers but veneers, too. I just don't get it. Why do they want to fix things which are not broken??? Those ppl need to seek help from psychologists, not plastic surgeons!
Same! Also for the big backside too. Now you all want this. Beauty standards are fickle and just move in trends and aren't worth paying so much heed to.
@@khanhlinhpham They wanna have those trending features while still looking Eurocentric overall. They'll take the full lips, slightly upturned eyes (they wouldn't want actual monolids though!), and maybe get tanner, but they don't _actually_ wanna look black or East/SE/Central Asian. For example, no one's clamoring to get a wider or flatter nose.
@lurategh - Exactly this! 👏🏽
The fillered-up lips will never look like naturally big lips no matter what. It always shows and folks who do it and persist it's great just lie to themselves.
DON'T DO IT!! I got one and a half syringes back in 2019, then another "top off" in 2020. Now four years later, my cheeks push up under my eyes and makes me look odd! I wish I had known all this back then!
Wasn't the information available back then? It doesn't seem a very long time.
@@ilonaniinemae4735the info that filler will carry on growing and migrate the way it does wasn’t known no
@@ilonaniinemae4735 information discovery moves fast!
Cheek fillers or undereye fillers?
@@ilonaniinemae4735 When we had fillers put in our faces back in the late 2000s - we were told, "it is TEMPORARY, it will dissolve on it's own in 6 months." We really believed them. It was a lie.
The contrast between Gary’s low and soothing voice and Stephanie’s high-pitched voice had me💀 (I love the content of both but I always listen to them separately lol)
I love when I get to watch Steph’s video and comment and then watch it here with you and comment 😂
At this point you and steph are just making content for each other to react to ahah 😂
As I got older I noticed that my face got let's say more droopy. Since then I make an effort to smile more. It lifts the face and people react nicely to a smile as well. That's a win win situation.
A lot of facial exercises rely on the smiling movement.
yes actually smiling helps keep cheek muscles from atrophy
I think as surgery and other procedures become more accessible natural beauty will become the “status symbol” that plastic surgery once was if that makes sense. I think we’re actually headed in a direction where celebs will be even less honest about procedures because in a way when everyone can afford it it becomes kind of gauche. Of course people will continue getting procedures but I think they’ll want it to be even less detectable (ex. How super perky and large fake boobs used to be the trend and now people want a Kendall Jenner boob job)
I worked with disabled people and there was a stroke patient getting botox injections in her arm to help with the stiffness. I cannot imagine using it for cosmetic instead of medical reasons.
As much as I sorta want plastic surgery at 52, I will also say there is something really nice about aging as a woman, and not being so stuck on my physical beauty. As a reasonably attractive woman in my younger years, I LIKE THAT THE PRESSURE IS OFF!! I never used to go out without makeup and hair done, and now I just know it doesn’t matter, and I just can be in comfy clothes and no makeup. No one sees me, and in a weird way I really like that.
I must wear lipstick 💄 behind my sunglasses but yes to the rest😹 except plastic surgery.
I experienced the same thing at your age. Liberation! And yet, invisibility doesn’t last. Mine wore off in my late fifties. I’d ceased wearing "office face” makeup, just red lipstick and concealer. I have a wash and go shaggy haircut. I remain fit. I’ve got better things to do. *Poof* - visible to men over 40 and oddly, women of all ages.
The only work I would consider at 51 is lipo on my thighs or tummy. Lol.
I'm 39 and same! I'm no longer harassed by men and it makes me so happy. I'm not going to deny the aging process -- I'm grateful for the years I've lived and hope to have some more. After 40 my focus will be taking care of this body that is no longer at its peak, and to keep my mind sharp and continue learning.
68...so just pleased to be alive😂....it is fantastic being invisible..it is a super power.enjoy every moment..we are not here long enough to waste time .make the best of what you have ...and forget it for the day .💙uk
Your reaction videos to Stephanie’s videos are always great - Kind of filling in (no pun intended :) from a surgeons perspective &
knowledge. ✌🏽
I have been watching Stephanie for years! She used to do makeup videos. Her videos are so interesting now.
I've loved her content but really disappointed she's resorted to super clickbait/ragebait titles and calling all sorts of celebrities a "creep" with no context
Has she addressed whether she uses lip fillers? Looking at her, it might be possible she uses them a little bit.
@@hiviper yes but speaks of it in past tens
18:08 this is such an interesting point to make. In the 90s-00s, there was a big obsession with skinniness. Models were starving themselves and doing drugs for the “heroin chic” look, leading to many young girls developing eating disorders.
Now it’s the other way around, with fuller bodies and faces being trendy. The Kardashian’s and other celebrities started with BBLs, lip fillers, etc, then everyone else followed, leading to young girls risking their lives to have these surgeries. The cycle of women killing themselves while trying to achieve the beauty standard will just continue
And now being skinny is in again, less than 10 years after that craze.
Its so freaking stupid it's not worth it.
The beauty standards are CREATED by other women! WE need to stop! Women also exclude each other from groups based on looks. I will fight anyone who denies this. We're catty asf and need to become more mature than this.
@@UltraGalacticSuperFantastic Yes exactly. Women are so hyper-critical of each other in a weird jealous way and we will never be free unless we stop obsessing over the way we look and trying to 'one-up' the other. Women have ZERO class solidarity or sense of community compared to other oppressed groups and it's killing us.
@@UltraGalacticSuperFantastic An actual honest comment.
Ariana is a liar, she looks like a completely different person.
It's because she change her haircolor for that blond and the way she do her makeup. She was much more beautiful with her brown hair. Now she look so tired and skinny. The beauty of her features are lost with that blond. That doesn't suits her well. She look gorgeous with darker hair.
@clairetremblay3023 no, it's massive plastic surgery, open your eyes and look at older pictures of her.
And she was so beautiful and natural before. It is very sad.
@@clairetremblay3023 that woman had surgery. stop it.
@StanarhymeswithDonna I actually had someone response to me about this comment and said that she had lost weight and she looks this way cause of her changing the way she does her make up. I said no, it's massive plastic surgery and told her to look at older pictures of Ariana. This woman must be blind.
I get the good place where Stephanie is coming from but she's so stressful...I feel stressed and uneasy everytime I watch her videos. Doc Gary has a very soothing voice and calm attitude, THANK YOU Doc for this.
I totally agree with you. The woman's voice I's utterly obnoxious whereas Dr Gary Linkov has an exceptionally and extremely attractive speaking voice. A voice can make or break a person.
@@carolinejones8382 I know, I just played Doc's videos in the background just for his calm tone, respectful way of communicating and very soothing voice.
It is especially jarring when men raise their voice, rage (the opposite of calm) and to make it worse have a high pitched voice...I can't stand it. I lose respect for such men, I dont care if they have a PhD in Mathematics and are explaining the meaning of the Universe. I can't.
This has become a deal breaker for me with men: emotional, raging, high pitched voice to "make a point", yelling of any type...It's a NO in business, friendships, dating, service provider, etc.
Moreover, some men are very emotional and negatively charged and to cover it up and pretend to be calm they speak condescendingly. I just cut them off, I'm not even engaging.
@@Gigi-Anai8c7l You're a very good example of a misandrist.
Dr Gary I love that you do these reactions to Steph's videos - I enjoy her channel as a space where I don't feel alone in my avoidance of and discomfort with the mass filler/botox industry (the area I live in, when I walk down the high street sometimes it feels like I'm the only woman in 20s-30s that doesn't have lip filler) but I appreciate even more how you go over the points she makes and add further scientific additions and balanced discussion/debate. Really, really appreciate the job you do as an educator. You help people understand the beauty and aesthetics industry more which in turn helps people feel more confident. Thank you :)
I was literally thinking into lip fillers when that video was uploaded. Thank the lord people like Stephanie make content.
I love your take on the like overly scary videos . I like your calmness and honesty and you see both sides. I love Stephanie but her videos give me anxiety and fear and shame. Yours make me feel like I’m learning not judging. I’m lowering my expectations and being more realistic love your videos
I have probably said this before, but there is something very calming and reassuring with Dr Gary's maner and approach. I know if I was his patient I would feel very comfortable with how honest and realistic he is with his approach to his patients and surgeries. I know he is a very good doctor. ❤
I started watching you around the time that I was seriously considering filler, and the logic that you work with in your presentation had me REALLY considering all options-before, after and in the future. I value your opinions and insight.
Stephanie Lange is one of a kind of a RUclipsr. Love her content. Same with Doctor Gary. Thanks for putting these facts out there!
Stephanie does a great job, always well researched. Thank you for highlighting her.
Sobering stuff. Thanks for the nuanced commentary as always Dr Gary
I feel like once you inject filler, it never truly goes away even if you dissolve it. Small amounts will always remain. That’s why I’m never getting it.
Ive been following Stephanie since the very very start, and I love her. She’s always been transparent, even when she got work done to fix her headaches and eyebrows for her hooded eyes. I’m so glad you and her respond to each other lately cause you’re both so helpful and great honest content creators that are not about the hypes. I love how you add to her videos with your doctors information and wisdom. ❤ more of these please.
Not subjecting my face to risky business
I was never really interested in these topics bur this is a truly great channel and you’re a great man Dr. Linkov! Keep up the good work.
HAAHHA I just watched this on Stephanie’s channel and thought, “it would be so cool to hear Dr Gary’s opinion” and then I’m suggested this video!!
I love that u watch stephanie. I've watched her for a very long time, and she's better than ever threse days
It seems like a lot of people mistake the initial swelling of these procedures with what the end result is supposed to look like.
Happened to my old boss. It didn't help her lips look bigger.
?could you elaborate idk maybe i didnt get enough sleep. Although i will say her showing jaclyn hills face as swelled because of filler when its more probable that its from alcoholism seems a bit sketch but otherwise Stephanie makes great points
*_I really appreciate experienced doctors, who don’t spread fear mongering & truly educate us. They don’t necessarily judge but they will call out nonsense so that the average person understands. No buzz words & exaggerated emotions. Just facts & related examples._* 🤓👍❤️🥳
Most people look horrible with fillers and most plastic surgery gives that uncanny look. Most of these ladies are pretty and don’t need so many plastic surgeries and fillers to look nice. Their small lips go with their features.
You don’t notice the good work, only the botched ones.
this is not true. good surgeons do work that makes you look the same age for 30 years.
@ Nobody can look the same age for 30 years whoever thinks that is delusional.
I'm so glad you included Stephanie Lange, she does wonders for self esteem! she has a video 'Are You Ugly Or Just Born In The Wrong Century'
PRP & PRF under the eyes, can you PLZZZ talk about it as it's becoming more and more popular
please. i second this. i saw that billionaire guy got it done and his results are phenomenal
@@danan9061I saw that, he did look good. Also want to know: is it true that PRP & PRF may not be a great option if a person wants to get a Lindsay Lohan and Demi Morore level face lift down the line (if said person can afford it of course), because of the scar tissue PRP & PRF may cause in some patients?
@@danan9061heyy, Dr. Linkov answered our questions in a newer video “I Tried To Make My Face Younger I Plastic Surgeon Reacts” and a previous video “Reverse Facial Aging And Fat Loss
WITHOUT Surgery! (Sculptra)”
I thoroughly enjoyed this episode and will be watching more often. Your honesty is wholesome and honorable. Please keep it coming and don’t lose yourself to the “fame”. Thank you for your time
10:50: Doc is like "yeah Steph you learned that from ME"!
stephanie thinks she’s special… can’t stand her.
@@mightytaiger3000well she is special to me. For many years I had soaked in information, and tried to create practices to help me be healthy and love myself as a person, but could never defeat my lifelong facial dysmorphia! It was very bad during parts of my cycle, was fueled by tiny glimpses of the beauty industry, influencers etc. and totally stunted me now looking back. It wasn’t until I watched 4-6 her videos a couple of years ago, and what can I say- she made a profound positive effect on me and many of her viewers!! I am finally free of such feelings and can finally enjoy my unique features!
@@mightytaiger3000shut up
When you said "and sometimes those insecurities come down from the parents", I was nodding so hard my head almost fell off. Infuriating!
I have always thought about these celebrities having to look at their children in the face and see all of the things they disliked and changed about themselves. If i had a daughter and had to explain why I looked like her when I was her age and changed many of the things that she inherited from me because I didn't like them, I would feel incredibly ashamed 😔
That doesn’t make sense at all. I’m a twin and if I don’t like something about my face that doesn’t transfer onto my twin at all. It’s personal. Lol.
@j-ymoney5112 your twin is your age, and you didn't give birth to them. Imagine the insecurities it would put on a young teen who already has enough to deal with through social media. Your reply doesn't make sense because it's not even close to the circumstances I'm talking about.
@@ChrisJack1212 no actually it’s worse than what you say lol my face is duplicated onto another human more so than a daughter and mother. If you have plastic surgery it’s because you didn’t like something on your own face and your kid has nothing to do with your face, and when they are old enough they will have their own opinions on how they look and opinions on plastic surgery and if you are a good parent you will focus on making them feel loved and accepted despite how you feel about yourself and your own looks. I my not have given birth to my twin but I’ve spent my whole life being a duo and if she got something done, I wouldn’t take it personally nor would I call into question the feature she changed on my own face. That’s her face. She likes her nose I hate mine. We have the same nose. My opinion does not drag down her opinion of her nose. The kid will feel the way they feel about their looks, because everyone does develop their own personal preferences.
@@j-ymoney5112 ok. The mind of a child is as mature as the mind of an adult. You got me.
@@j-ymoney5112 The issue here is: If you are an identical twin and you say you do not like something about your face that would mean you also dislike it on your twin's face as well. Of course, your twin could care less. As a parent, some of your offspring get your features, i.e. the same nose. The parent got surgery one the nose. The child inherited this nose and might feel insecure about it since it realised the parent went under the knife to "fix" theirs. How would the parent explain to the child that their nose is totally fine when they went to extreme measures to get it changed?
That was absolutely spot on Dr. !!!
If we don't have the money or where with all to get surgeries like this, and then compare ourselves to the celebrities that have the money to do this- when they proclaim that they've not done anything , we look down upon ourselves so terribly when we need to know hey, this is not natural! I actually paid for this huge unnatural change .And it does end up helping those of us who are not celebrities to feel better about ourselves.
I think you have done so much to help us along that path about feeling better about ourselves Thank you as always for all of your wonderful videos.❤
This was a great analysis, thank you for taking the time to give your professional and honest opinions
I fortunately have a lovely dermatologist who is honest about what will look good and what won’t. I got lip filler for the first time last year and I was told they wouldn’t do over a certain amount. It is definitely still there and I can feel it, even after a year! I will go back and get little bits but it absolutely stays, y’all.
Fillers sucks no matter how professional your doctor is.Isn’t kylie has world’s top doctors.still botched
Indeed.
We don't know if Kylie's doctor is actually good. Actually I would wager to say that the work(if she's just going to just one person) shows is they are not the "top". A good doctor would tell you no to too much filler and wouldn't cave for money.
Kylie is not botched lol have you seen actual cases of botched. She definitely looks altered, not botched.
Filler is approved for people 21 and up. Kylie started getting it done at around 16? That's definitely not a top doctor.
I watch Stephanie‘s videos all the time and love her. I just happened to come across your video/channel. I just clicked on it so I’m about to watch.
Thank you once again for your taking the time to go over Stephanie's videos! I see a great partnership blossoming! ❤
Thank you for making this video, you’re calming but also admitting the limitations and risks 🙏
Dr Linkov I wanna request you to please make a detailed vid on how can you treat self harm scars (they're kinda white and raised) 🙏🏾
Lasers, nitrogen treatments (doctor basically burns the scar with it and it deflates into a smaller scar. 2-3 treatments get rid of it) or hormone injections. But!!! the scars may return. My got my post surgery keliod injected about a year ago and it stared growing again (not as big, but I notice). My scar after a laser birthmark removal that I got treated with liquid nitrogen also started slowly returning like 5-6 years later
@@thectyptid00 wow about the nitrogen treatment I've never really heard of this one. I thought costeroide injections and radio frequency microneedling are the best one so far. But thankyou for replying tho!
Umm, perhaps talks to smn first about your issues coz you might just self harm again after healing
@@FAM_hee no not gonna do that ever again...
@@ninismanofoot nitrogen is top tier as far as my experience goes. It leaves a bubbled up burn for week or two but it works faster than laser/microneedling and it is cheaper (at least in my country). Find a good healthcare provider though, all scar treatments can easely be messed up and leave even nastier scars
Fillers are not gone forever but as dr Gary says not to over do!!!
Intro up to 0:50 ouch!
When losing the sense of measure sometimes becomes a nightmare and a proof you are rather mindless too but you fail to accept this.Tragic!
Losing. Only one 'O.'
"Loosing" isn't a word. Loose means not tight.
@@girlygal098 thank you!English aint my mother tongue yet i try.i'll correct.
Huh?
I know someone who had a medically necessary surgery on her jaw, where they broke her jaw and kind of set it more forward? And she went to therapy afterwards because she struggled with not recognising the image in the mirror as herself if that makes sense. I wonder how it affects your self image if you get plastic surgery or nonsurgical procedures like fillers a lot
Filler is scary. Thank you for talking about this Dr Gary! I will only get a septoplasty to fix my breathing thanks to your videos
I have stopped using filler about 2 years ago.
I am now getting a face lift instead. Wish me luck xx
People don't realise when you keep trying to fix yourself on the outside, you'll still never feel good enough on the inside. This is legit mental illness.
I feel like the dangers/risks of fillers isn't discussed enough, especially by the people providing them
I'm learnning a lot from this channel. Filler will NOT be in my future. The best thing I've learned so far: don't follow trends.
Is it just me or some of you also find Dr. Gary's voice so pleasant to the ear. Like I can listen to him for hours.
He's pleasing to the eyes too 😍
Doctor, thank you for the video!
Your voice is so soothing. I am sure you’re extremely busy. But if you’d record an audio book, I’d pay for it. I am sure many others would too! 😅
I really appreciate both of your content. Thank you for taking the time to explain in detail so many aspects of these current procedures for people all over the world. Every video is valuable and we can confidently share the information with others who may be interested ✨
I agree, the best injectors are using small quantities and want their clients to represent their work. They know when to tell you to STOP. I have had about 4 cc’s injected all over my face in a period of 2 years. I got it to help balance my face and help with symmetry. I’m very happy with my results and know it will probably be in my face for years. I don’t need to go back every 6 months as many practitioners have talked their patients into thinking they need to do in order to keep their results.
I used to work with a young woman who had massively over filled lips like some of those you show at the beginning. It looked crazy.
Thanks guys! This kind of educational content may save lives 🙏
Social media putting so much pressure on and what makes up beauty standards it has drove me to do drugs.
When i was in middle school, i became obsessed with Joan Rivers' stand-up. Comedy aside, she was always very brazen about her surgeries and never shyed away from it. That kind of personality that showed me when you live in your truth and stand firm in your decisions; you become unfuckable with in a way.
Thank goodness I was always suspicious of crosslinked HA fillers. I am a licensed Esthetian Since 1997
By saying “we’ve learned to use the more moderation,” you’re really underselling the big issue here. When filler first came out, they were telling my sister that it’ll be dissolved within six months to a year. Years later, she came and said I still have filler. I can feel it in my lips. They were gaslighting her telling her it’s not true. They didn’t know enough about this stuff to be injecting it into peoples faces! But anything for money $$$$$$ I work in a medical field and that’s how it is
I have 2 beautiful neighbors, they are gorgeous. They keep getting/talking about getting more work done. They can’t see it’s actually making them look worse. It’s becoming so obvious because of how much they continue to do. It’s crazy, I’m not sure if they can’t see it because they are addicted, or if they are just super insecure. Super sad though, because much like the women in this video, they were beautiful before and certainly didn’t need it.
Never been so happy to age gracefully.💗
I’ve always known this stuff about filler- how it obviously stretches the skin, not only by balloon effect but also increased weight means a greater pull of gravity on the skin, and all of the manipulation of the skin also stretches it. Still, I did it once stupidly because a friend was recommending it. TG I never did it again.
I get my fillers done tastefully- not particularly noticeable, and I’m happy with that. I’ll continue for now. All good info though. 👍🏼
Also, @doctorgarylinkov I also think many, many people still don’t know the difference between ‘Botox’ and fillers. I think most people assume when some celebrity has gone too far, they attribute much of it to Botox. I do think much of the overdone faces are, yes, a result of too much filler and/or too much surgery. Botox does not ‘dramatically’ affect your appearance. It minimizes wrinkles.
I often think about the effect parents have to their kids. Imagine growing up to look like your parent when he/she started changing his/hers face. It's like the parent already said that hey, that face doesn't look good - it needs to change. It'll be interesting to see when the Kardashian kids grow up in that sense
Oh my god I watched this video when it came out and I wanted SO badly to know what you thought about it. I can’t wait to watch 🤩
Crazy timing! Stephanie just released another video about botox today! That video is also a good watch!
Yes! Her New Video is one of her Best Ever!!
I’d avoid filler totally considering it always migrates and can clog your lymph nodes, also it doesn’t go away and shows up years later on mris, I can’t see why that would ever be worth it
Woah, the fat memory thing is fascinating
I’ve had very noticeable dents in my under eye area ever since childhood, not eye bags not aging symptoms, just a hollow area above my plump cheeks. It pisses me off so much I used to consider HA filler. But after learning all the side effects…. nah, I’ve made it 27 years with them so far, they can stay
At 70+ , there is NO way I am doing any of this junk. I want God to recognize me when my time to go home comes.
When we age, we cease being recognizable.
I love watching these videos of Doc Linkov and Stephanie.
0:14 filler causes what?
Filler causes “cancer”. Filler was marketed as dissolvable as they “disappeared” but now we know it shifts and “disappears” from its original location. It doesn’t really fully disappear from the body. It can drift to lymph nodes and can affect the lymphatic system. People speculate this could wreak havoc and lead to lymphatic cancer.
HIV
Cancer
I think he said “cancer”
@@ninanano no
His skin is just flawless
22:37 woof…idk if selling plastic surgery as an alternative to therapy or medication is reasonable. Some people have chemical imbalances that need to be helped with medication and no amount of filler is going to help with that.
A reminder that getting therapy is not about receiving medication but undergoing psychotherapy (talking therapy).
Therapy is multifaceted, one of those facets being pharmacotherapy. It's not all about x y or z, it's a large sum of all the different therapeutic approaches, which should not be disregarded. Botox and fillers aren't therapy but my hormone replacement sure is lol
I had a little filler in my tear through three years ago and it changed my life for the better. It was very subtle, it looks natural and three years later on it is still in place.
8:04 thats interesting, i always just assumed that the skin over time returns to its original size especially if there isnt a large amount of inflation/ stretching involved like with abdomen skin after pregnancy (lots of stretching) but a 0.5-1 mL of filler in the lips or cheeks isnt that much volume. im not really sure
Your voice is very soothing, you could do a sleep podcast
I always appreciate your matter of fact presentation.
Here in Brazil we normally talk about procedures. I'm 41 and I used hylauronic acid on my dark circles, very discreet and I love the results
Thats the worst place to have fillers. Please inform yourself
@MariaCastro-jm5qn I mean they're watching this video, which is educational on the matter, and sharing their personal experience, which is valuable to the conversation. Attacking people getting injectables isn't going to achieve anything.
@@whims6278 Thank you :)
It's good that you're open with it, but personally I'm shook that anyone is letting this stuff near their faces lol
There are also reports of the acid going into the brain
@@unturned6066 So, Brazil is a reference in plastic surgery and there are many more safety measures adopted here than in the US. The relationship we have with the procedures here is very different from what you have in North America. I read the latest studies on acid and they are really worrying for those who do it a lot. In my case, it was just one dose once... I'm very happy with the result, since after a long depression my skin became very saggy, and today I'm very confident again.
Do you have any opinions on the ez gel filler? I understand it is made from your own blood but wondering what the side effects or long term effects are
