I agree with you when you say that everybody starts to look the same
That’s true about the “looking beautiful on picture then in person is alarming” ahhh thanks for this🧚🏼♀️✨
Thank you for being so honest! Loved this so much. Keep up the realness! Sending love from Canada. xx
Love your honesty and openness.
Very informational!!!!!! Thank you so much for doing this video! I did not even think about filler swelling the face and making you sweat more! Mona, you are amazing!!!
uugghh women like her is so refreshing to watch. So natural, beautiful and intelligent
Dr. Vand, I totally agree with this. 💖✨ Thanks for speaking out on this and giving educational advice 🌺
Thank you so much for this video. Best video on RUclips regarding fillers ! 💕
Thanks. I have been considering fillers and Botox so this helps. I like the natural just refreshed look. So this helps a lot.
Thanks for a balanced opinion on the subject.
Thank you for this :) thank you for an honest chat .. we need more like this nowadays since everyone else is promoting the same over filled look
Love this!!! Please dive deeper!!
Thank you for an informative video about this subject! You're great at explaining things so it’s easy to understand!
Anju Hamilton Helle thank you!
I have well over 4,000 cosmetic patient encounters under my belt and the one thing that every patient who undergoes any procedures, relays to me regarding their experience, is how great it makes them feel. The therapeutic advantage many cosmetic treatments afford patients is sometimes underrated and underappreciated. A quick "pick me up" with a few CC of Botox is as satisfying as an $80 stick of Rouge CL lipstick! Often times, clients have told me it helps to kick relationships into another gear, sprinkle mild doses of spice into their marriages, and make them feel rejuvenated and ready to take on the next day. Amazing stuff!
Nice video Mona. Keep it up!
But I'm concerned reading comments like this. It's as if you're saying that your physical appearance will determine your happiness or success. Looking to cosmetic procedures for a sense of joy and validation is not the answer. There's a great quote from the Bible, it was Jesus himself who said, "you're not defiled by what goes into you, you're defiled by what comes out of you. For from the heart comes all kinds of evil. Clean the inside of the cup then the outside will also be clean"......people focus so much on the outside of the cup and pay no mind to the inside. And all the procedures in the world can't Compensate for a corrupt heart
Great information & great video ! I agree I don’t think everyone should try to look the same, beauty comes in many forms ❤️🥰
Thanks for being honest 👸🏻
That is so true it is really hard to remain unique with them!
I love your expertise advice!
Instagram and social media has ruined women and they way they perceive beauty. I feel for our younger generation. It’s only going to get worse.
Everyone looks really ugly and bad in real life.
Absolutely couldn't agree more.
Yes! I agree! I’m 50 and people tell me I look 40. I have never had Botox or fillers. I think if you take care of your skin by having a good skin care routine and staying out of the sun you can look much younger than your actual age. I feel like too many young people are using this stuff because of pressure from social media. When your in your 20’s you look great as you are!
bnb0510 men too honestly.
Anita Fafard it’s genetics. So many people take care of their skin and still look old 😂
Yes! Please do more videos on this! I'm 35 and I'm ready to try something but I'm afraid!
Thank you for this. Great explanation! :)
I’ve done a lip filler because I was losing volume in my upper lip. My tip, invest in a good doctor. I went to a doctor and she told me straight away that more then 1 mil will not look good on my face. She put in around .75 mil and I still paid for the full syringe. Was it expensive? Yes! Was it worth it? Yes. No one can tell that I had anything done, and that’s exactly what I wanted. My lips are now fuller, symmetrical and more moisturized. So I agree with her, do not over do it, and pick a really good doctor.
I love, love your HONESTY. ILL GO TO YOUR DOCTOR.
I will be 63 next March 10. I have never had any procedures done, but I do try to make good health choices and people are shocked and surprised when I tell them my age. It is not genes (I know from what I see within my family) but from my day-to-day choices since a very young age. I am always learning and growing in the health arena and now follow you and have gleaned so much from you. I tell others about you often.
Yeah exactly. I mean I can spend $$$ on the "unitaskers" of skincare, or I can take that cash and spend it on my dance classes, healthful food, off-insurance hormone specialists and compound pharmacy hormones (I need them for sanity at 45!), even travel and recreation, which enriches the spirit and brings joy to the soul!! And this light radiates in your smile! Taking care of your health is the best and wisest thing to do, and it absolutely impacts your skin - as it is, it's an organ.
Loved this video. Thank you so much!
Hey Mona
Thanxz for this information 😇
It helps a lot before getting these any of these stuff done your aware of its pros & cons 💡
You are so right, it’s a red flag if you see over advertisement online . I went to a “famous” plastic surgeon in Miami and had some complications due to filling an area that is not FDA approved. I was wowed with all the photos I saw.
I have since been seen a plastic surgeon Dr.Keni in a Chicago suburb, Oakbrook, for Botox and fillers. IL. He has always taken his time to watch my face expressions and always goes slow with injections! Thank you for your informative video, very important for people considering filler/Botox. Wish I educated my self earlier.
Completely agree with your point of view
I am a male who had both Rejuvaderm and Botox. A well trained plastic surgeon performed the treatment.It was somewhat expensive and painful. (probably because men don't have the adipose fat women do) . I think the disappointing part of it is that nobody noticed the difference until I pointed out I no longer had lines and wrinkles. My best advice is to simply avoid overexposure to the sun. In all honesty, unless you are a movie star, most people are not interested in you, and could care less about anyone but themselves.
I’ve had fillers to get rid of my smile lines and it was injected into my cheeks and I really lobe the results. I’ve had it done back in July and I do plan on going soon to get more done since it didn’t fully fix the issue. But I am very happy with my results overall and had no pain of bruising.
Loved this video!
Great Video, Your always awesome!
I live in Chicago!! thanks for recommending Dr. Julius :)
Jodi D can I have your address pls
Can I have your address pls
I've never had any work done and its crazy because IG makes you feel like its natural to alter your looks into a semi-permanent face tune. I don't know if I'll never get fillers, but I'm leading a natural lifestyle where what i eat, how i sleep, how i think will bring me inner and outer ageless beauty.
I love my smile and my being and more people need to love the vessel they're in.
thanks for sharing mona x
Celina Bond- Dating Coach , I agree! Keep it natural. You are beautiful. No need for Botox and fillers. I don’t understand why so many young women feel the need to alter their appearance when they already are naturally beautiful.
Very honest video. Radiesse and Sculptra will not cause water retention in the face in most cases. These are good alternatives for those who would like to stay away from too much HA. Especially along the jaw, cheeks, and chin.
This doctor is beautiful!
I've noticed a lot of nurses here in Canada are now certified to do fillers & botox. What's your take on that? Is it safe to see them instead of a doctor?
Thank you I am going to wait.
Wow I needed this. An intellectual perspective. I recently moved to LA & surrounded by it. Everyone says not to touch my face or body but sometimes I consider. This was a down to earth perspective & I really appreciate your wise words!
You’re with the wrong crowd.
It is so true all points are relevant ❤️
I would love to hear more about your experience getting baby Botox: when to get it, how long it lasts, side effects, etc. :)
Love your videos!
This is great, thank y0ou so much. Who is the dr you recommended from Chicago? Was hoping to look him up. Thank you.
Great video, not all the way through it yet but in many states, it doesn’t have to be a doctor who injects. It can be an RN, NP, or PA. Most of the time, the aesthetic RNs and NPs are more skilled at botox and fillers than doctors because they do it all day, everyday. some doctors and dentists only do it as an add on service a few times a week. Just something to keep in mind. 😊
Would love if you covered Kybella it’s becoming very popular in Miami
Samantha ok :)
Yes please i would like to know about kybella
You're the best! My favourite
A Plastic Surgeon and cosmetic doctor+radiologist did a study with MRI scans proving that "temporary" filler doesn't always absorb into the body as marketed; and can actually last for years and migrate to other areas of the face. Example a women who had lip filler from years prior migrate deeper to around her gums up closer to the nose, or cheek filler migrating to the under eye or vise versa..
Kate what study is this! I want to read it
@@DrMonaVand The Victorian Cosmetic Institute, by Dr. Gavin Chan & Dr. Mobin Master. Here's the video they made: :ruclips.net/video/yoF_Ez27-L0/видео.html
I watched this too! It really makes me wary of the plastic surgery industry, like what else are we unaware of? I think filler is fine in moderation but I worry about the vulnerable young women who might overdo it.
Yes, it is a hyaluronic acid in different forms and can spread over time. Some forms are more cross linked for durability.
Thanks for the info!! I’ve always wanted to hear your perspective.
Yes, please elaborate as much as you can. So is filler safer than botox? Do you run the risk of facial expression over years of you doing either even if you do it mildly? Thanks for sharing ♡
Hi Mona! Could you please tackle on plasma treatments and plasma fillers for the face? I love your content, thanks for sharing!! :)
Anna Trallero like PRP? :)
@@DrMonaVand Exactly!! Would love to know your thoughts on that!! :)
Iam having fillers done on July 2024 I was undecided between Botox or fillers but after watching your video I made my decision it’s gonna be fillers thanks 😉
Very nice video. What are your thoughts on sculptra?
I noticed you’ve had some work done around your cheeks, jaw area & chin.
Please share how your experience was 🙌🙏💓
Loved this video. It was so informative. What is your opinion on doing fillers for dark circles?
Kari Padilla if they’re hollows, go for it. If you just have dark circles it won’t help - that is likely a kidney issue, lack of sleep, poor diet (excess protein), stress etc.
They can be excellent for this exact issue. If you are in Europe or Australia you can use Teosyal Redensity 2 which is specifically made for the under eye area as it doesn’t attract as much water as other fillers and it contains amino acids which lighten the area. Otherwise a good occuloplastic surgeon or a plastic surgeon who does a lot of under eye filler is your best bet! Belotero and restylane are commonly used.
fillers are MAGIC.........so glad to get rid of the gummy smile i had and dark circles under my eyes i look like ive been on vacation!!
Cindy Brown how did fillers fix your gummy smile? I have gummy smile and I wanted to do Botox to relax the muscles around the lips
atefa Nayel you need to go to a doctor or plastic surgeon and they can fix it with filler not Botox
Elisha Martinez hi, a little late to the party on this but I will post to the rest of the video community too but wanted to address you personally here as it was this thread I was reading. I hope you understand I’m not trying to be a know it all, just passing on my experience on something I’ve actually had done.
So, fixing the gummy smile with Botox isn’t a new technique although perhaps not as wildly popular as its more well known uses and it does need a skilled Medical/Dental Aesthetics doctor to do it. I have had mine done so this is factual information I’m giving you, as I have good teeth but they are smaller and my upper gums showed more than I liked. The procedure at the time, about 18 months - 2 yrs ago, was done in Harley Street in London, was minimally painful, some downtime and very successful. Like it does with every other area it’s injected into, it relaxes the muscle that pulls the lip too far up the gum line when a person with prominent gums smiles.
Done right, it does not inhibit your smile one bit and I fact enhances it because now your teeth no longer look too small, your gums are no longer the first thing someone notices about your smile and you can smile wider knowing that your lip is resting along the top of your teeth, which is where it should rest naturally.
No need for cutting, fillers or any other crazy dental work if your own teeth are basically good. I would and will do it over and over and over again if need be. I don’t have any other procedures done, but this made me physically cry with joy at my own reflection after 40 something years of hiding my smile. I hope that helps. Xxx
Finally! This is what I needed! I can’t decide to get some around my eyes of either filler or Botox! 😰
Julia Newbery around the eyes is Botox. You can’t put filler around your eyes. But you can get filler in the eye hollows under your eyes. That will give you a well rested look for dark dark circles. Botox will just get rid of crows feet.
Missleigh yeah ahah whoops that’s what I meant 😂 I feel like I need both but don’t wan too! Or maybe an eyebrow lift??? Have you done it before? 😬
How old are you?
Mary Cruz Garcia how old am I or the other girl? I don’t tell my age but I am older than I look. Farther past 30 than I would like to be lol
@@VeganGroceryLife
Hi Dr. Mona! Out of curiosity, why is Botox the primarily recommended cosmetic procedure when there are other procedures such as Radiesse and Voluma that are more sustainable and less prone to neurological damage? It’s true that Radiesse is tricky because it’s in your face forever, but please let me know more on why! Thank you ❤️
Agree with every single comment you've made! Short and informative 🙌🏼 I'm interested in hearing your thoughts about hyaluron pen that are advertised as being safe used at home.
Do you worry about the long term effects of BOTOX? E.g. drooping eyelids when you’re older. I am always concerned about the long term effects of these treatments and have stuck to using Frownies and microcurrent up until now because of the studies I’ve read about the long term side effects. However, these types of studies are very limited so I’m unsure if my rationale is correct and would love your opinion. Thank you!
I've been getting botox for 10 years and I'm pretty sure its worsened the sagging in my face. Because if you weaken the muscles, over time, the structure of the face won't be a strong...But I've never heard anyone else mention this...
Thank you for this video Dr. Mona! I'm 26 so I was thinking about the possibility of starting baby Botox in my forehead as well. I'd love for you to make another video about recommended doctors in Southern California, how often you should go back to get topped up, pricing etc. Thanks again this was a huge help!
Same! I'm 24 also in SoCal.
Why shouldn’t dentist administer Botox? They know more about the head, face, and neck anatomy than nurses who administer Botox? Dentist are doctors! I feel like it’s the same thing as some one saying don’t listen to medical advice from Mona because she is just a pharmacist not a medical doctor......
AJ Okazaki I think she ment just go to someone who specialises in Botox like a cosmetic dermatologist rather than just any dr /nurse /clinic :)
Superb come back. I agree totally
💯 agree
Yes can you please give us more info!
Please talk about under eye fillers! I have the worst hollowed eyes (not bags, but hollows) and it’s been my biggest insecurity for years now. It’s the first thing I think about every morning when I look at myself in the mirror. It honestly truly affects me. The worst part is that I’m only 21 years old. Your opinion on it would help!
Yes! More info is always beneficial! I’m in my early 30’s and feel a bit overwhelmed with the options. I’m in search of facial/treatment of some sort that will improve my wrinkles and even give me a bit of lift. My eyes have been dropping and it’s beginning to bother me. It’s hard to trust the options given, not sure if they are offering it because they are after your money or if it truly is the beat option .
I had a question actually. I heard that after you get botox you really have to keep getting it or your face can actually start to loose fullness and elasticity at a higher rate than it would have before, from now having a bit of muscle atrophy. Is that true?
I love that you feel so highly about preserving your natural assets. I just turned 31 a couple of months ago and I’m looking into doing some small amounts of Botox in my forehead. What would you recommend for nasolabial folds though?
I’m 49 and haven’t started anything I’m scared to try
This is so informational and well done. Curious have you done anything besides forehead Botox? I find that starting in you twenties is way to young to begin with.
Very informational video. Dr. Mona, what vitamins do you take?
Where is your jumpsuit from? I love it.
You have an amazing smile 😍
Great info.
Smiles 'ARE' So important.
Yes, go deeper into this subject. And also what do you think about the Glopro microneedling tool by BeautyBio? I’ve been contemplating whether I should buy it or not. Bc I already own the Rose Quartz Roller & Gua Sha Set. What are your thoughts 💭 I’m beginning to see some lines you know that Bridge between the eyes 👀 haha! I don’t want those lines haha 😆
Should I do baby Botox like you mentioned on those lines now before they set deep? Help! Luv you, Mona. You are awesome 👏 with all your amazing advice. Xoxo 😚 Peace ✌🏻
Check out Youngr by Stefani Kappel MD on YT. She is a dermatologist and is very against microneedling due to the negative long term effects.
Frankie ooh 😲 Okay, thank you. I will definitely check her out.
If I had the money I would get botox and fillers straight away. It's really easy to tell people to age gracefully and embrace themselves when you're not the one with incredibly prominent frown lines since age 25.
Perfect video
Well when you reach 55years old, I just started using botox for my forehead and when turning 60 I will definitely will have fillers.
R B good for you 👍
Oh no!
Is there a difference between having Botox for tmj/headaches/grinding to the latest “Facial Slimming on the masseter muscle Botox?”
SKbbGRL22 Hey girl! I actually just got this done for TMJ. It definitely slimmed my face. I like the look of it! Never would have done it without the tmj though, lol
Can you plleeease do a video on breast implants? I’ve heard a lot of bad things about it lately, people have been getting them removed. I want them but I want to make sure it’s safe. Plz do a video!
Diana Calderon look into natural breast augmentation, it’s more expensive, because they take your own fat from legs or butt or belly and fill it into your breasts.
I think it varies from people to people and from brand to brand (implants). Some people have them and seem to do just fine. Others experience signs of toxicity after 6 months. It's up to you to try getting them and see if you're one of the lucky people who have no adverse reactions to implants. Also, saline is a better option if you want to avoid breast implant illness. The only thing about saline is they ripple and don't feel as natural as silicone.
What are you asking a pharmacist's opinion on breast implants? She's not a physician. I'm not trying to be rude, but you should ask this question to someone else.
People with breast implants need to change them every 10 years or so, so I think some decide to remove them instead, especially since it’s not that trendy to be big chested anymore. I never understood people getting breast implants when clearly a more flat chest is way way nicer looking and clothing just looks nicer on someone with smaller breasts.
Don’t do it Breast Implant Illness is real!!!!! Your body will eventually want to fight the foreign object in your body ... this will be your immune system that will breakdown and cause symptoms and problems in the future
Hi Dr. Mona!
I’ve been looking to get Botox for my TMJ for a few months now. You mentioned in the video to not go to a dentist for Botox, but if it’s for TMJ specifically, do you think that’s okay? Or do you think I should still try to find a plastic surgeon?
Some Oral Surgeon's are also qualified Cosmetic Surgeon's. So I believe that it depends upon what kind of dentist it is. There a qualified specialty dentist, such as Oral Surgeon's and some prosthodontist's that may do botox and filler injections...they have medical training degrees as well as dental.
The dentist I went to did a better job that another doctor. She was trained 30 years and a surgeon as well. She injected with no pain while the other one created lots of pain lol.
Can you explain what you mean by off label I know it means it’s not technically approved by the fda but why do drs still inject on off label areas ?
Love your jumpsuit!! I’m loosing my volume in my face !! I’m 37 , it’s not easy ....I want to age gracefully and naturally....we’ll see, I might fill or freeze down the road . It’s still very expensive
Hi! Where is your denim shirt/ dress from? I love it!
I have strong forehead muscles, so in my 30’s I did Botox, however; my Father, Aunt and Uncle died of ALS and they say Botox can bring ALS to a head. So I quickly stopped using it. Lord I’ve been looking for other options. I am now using Go Pure products and it helps a little.😔
Marsha Balderrama what case studies prove this? Haven’t heard that proved in a scientific setting
A C I can’t remember, it’s been 10 years. I know they have a test I can take to see if I have the ALS Heredity. If I don’t then I’d definitely have Botox👍
Why would you not recommend a dentist ? I can understand not recommending a beauty therapist , but dental professional have a good grasp of the facial muscles, nerves etc.
Sezen Rogers I got my filler done by a dentist and she was a surgeon in the business for over 20 years. And professionally training. She is amazing.
Profitt yep I went to an injector who was okay but I could tell she wasn’t an expert. Then. I went to a dentist who had been in the field for like 40 years and she injected me painlessly. She was amazing!
Profitt yep i went to a dental who was a surgeon and doing injections for years and also went to a gynecologist who was younger and doing injections for years and the dental was a lot better.
Could you go into more details on Botox for the jaw masseter muscle? For TMJ or just to slim the face. I heard this will thin your jaw bone overtime?
I want to let everyone know Dentists are one of the most skilled practitioners who are administering neurotoxins. They routinely inject MUCH deeper intraorally to achieve profound anesthesia prior to performing any dental work. (As do us Hygienists 🤓) We are trained extensively on anatomical features, landmarks as well as proper technique when using a syringe. Additionally Dentists understand muscle movement, function and facial esthetic features...they utilize all these techniques and skills daily in restorative work. They are more than qualified to deliver neurotoxin injections, that’s why their scope of practice includes it within their license. 😀
Be interested in your thoughts on injectable skin boosters. It's not like fillers although they're HA but they stimulate your own collagen.Profhilo is very popular in Europe, also Restylane Vital and the French one Filorga Nctf.
These are excellent if not overused. They can overall add plumpness and hydration to the skin. Amazing for hands too. I have seen them give the filler/swollen look, however if used too liberally. An excellent product as well is Sunekos 200 which is more for collagen/elastin stimulation but can help with fine lines and under eye hollows and darkness. It is not as plumping as Profhilo unless one chooses Sunekos 1200. All of the above are fantastic products.
Thank u for that tip on how to get rid of filler by going sauna and being active I really needed it. I have sinus issue so my face sometimes can get swollen although she only used 1 mill on both cheeks. Not much of a difference but I still feel like it’s visible... thanks
Filler can be dissolved. Botox just has to wear off over time.
I was actually looking into going to go to my dentist for my TMJ + teeth grinding. My dentist said it's so bad, I will eventually grind my teeth down. You mentioned not going to a dentist. Would you recommend a doctor or nurse instead?
Thanks for your honesty in this video!
I think if you're interested in botox specifically for TMJ, your dentist would be the best to handle. I think she meant to not use your dentist for cosmetic filler or botox.
Dentists know most about the anatomy of face and neck especially more than nurses ..
I LOVEEEE Botox! Go get it ladies. It’s so worth it!!! I’ll never go without.
Eeny Meeny Miny MOE is it painful
Yes, I love it too. It's addictive too
One of my bucket lists : get preventative Botox
Not to mention muscle atrophy in the areas noticed is used in long term
DO IT! I just got 12 units for my crows feet and I am in love with the results!
Thank you 😊
Lol the lip flip !! No go !! 🦆 lips are a no go ladies !!
Hi, what other options are there to treat the “11” lines on the forehead?
Starts talking about it since 1:50
What are the long term effects of Botox?
Beauty cannot be define on one direction
I have a question Dr. Mona, who do you recommend to do under eye fillers for bags?
If you have allergies/sinus issues you are not a candidate for under eye fillers... I was told. They can put filler in your cheeks to help with the "bags." It doesn't get rid of them but it helps SO much and it is 100% worth it, in my experience.
frankie I have genetic under eye bags and the under eye filler has been life changing
@@glaciergang I too have genetic under eye bags but since I also have sinus issues, they told me I could not get them. I so wish I could because the pics I have seen of people who have gotten fillers in their under eye area look amazing! I am happy you were able to get them filled and that you are liking the results! :)
frankie why did they say you can’t get it with allergies?
@@quincystucki My injector told me that due to the irregularities in the state of ones' sinuses, congestion can lead to either fluid build up or the filler can appear more swollen on days when you are experiencing sinus issues/allergies. Since the area is in a state of flux, especially if you have sinus issues, it can cause your filler to move around more while readily causing unpleasant puffiness. I've had my deviated septum fixed in hopes of helping my sinus but still struggle with congestion. For me, it just wasn't worth it to risk getting fillers under my eyes. I instead had filler put in my cheeks which helped out tremendously! Hope that helps! :)
Great info 🌹thank you
Thank you.
