Victorian Cosmetic Institute I feel like I can always spot lip filler. I’d like to get mine done just to reclaim some lost volume, but I’m scared of getting something fake looking.
Victorian Cosmetic Institute it seems that lips which appear too large, have in common an appearance of distended “borders” of the lips between flesh colored skin and the “pink” area of the lips.
@Se A Interesting, because older people lose lip volume and have smaller lips. Maybe you are talking about teenagers/people in their early 20s, who look like they're in their 30s when they have their lips overdone?
Please do , look around next time you're walking around ur city you'll spot the"filler gang" instantly&it doesn't matter about the other facial features they ALL look the same& imo kinda cheap. You're perfectly imperfect, be you nobody else looks exactly like you so enjoy it.if you do get fillers you'll look just like all of the rest of the fake lip crew . You're beautiful naturally.I promise the most compliments I get are about how natural I look &unique - just food for thought. Edit: and I am FAR from perfect, it's usually the things that are unique (that I wished were like"every 1 else's "when I was a teen) that get those compliments.

@@viccosmeticinstitute I can't put my finger on what you've gotten done 🤔 i was trying to figure it out in your other videos too. You're a handsome man though, i figured it can't ALL be a gift from God 😆
@@viccosmeticinstitute I'm guessing, lips. Your lower ones? I'm only guessing bc of the ratio you mentioned, they're spot on. Also, maybe the upper lip, bc of the dimples that form when they move. Perhaps the chin and the front part of the cheeks. Either way, my compliments to you. The chin and cheeks look great.
Me too. Most of the time I kept my hand in front of my mouth when talking, so as not to draw attention to my lips. Now as an adult I know better and are content.
Keep waiting boo. The motto in this country is consume and keep consuming. They'll find something else superficial to waste a fortune on next....ppl r never satisfied. They'll always want more more more...of every thing!
In the 1970's, they promoted "Sheer makeup." Just to cover dark circles, a flick of mascara, light foundation.... but makeup..... still looking like yourself. 👀

@@talkischeapornot agreed I’m White but a LOVE black girls features ! The lips, the skin tone, the curves 🤩 Such goals ! I used to get my lips done and if anyone ask me why I would say “I want a black girls big juicy lips !” Honesty is key & why I really despise the Kardashians ... they are extremely toxic for all women. They are stealing black culture and making white girls around the world insecure and running to get BBLs.
@@delishme2 lol, I'm with you! I think some modesty is more enticing than flashing your bits & bobs for the world to see. And it raises the subject, what is our worth? Are we valued for our selves & our character - and not just because we are flashing our headlights in public! It's not like no one else has GOT them! Everyone has them but usually it's the young girls who have just developed them that think they're the best thing since sliced bread & it shows girls juvenile delinquency when they're all excited their lumps have finally grown lol ( Lady, can you please turn get those headlights out of my face, you're bloody well blinding meeeeeee ..... & don't poke my 👀 out in the process) 😂
It is so true, very refreshing to find a Dr that isn't into agreeing to put an excessive amount of filler in. Plus all the other information with surrounding areas like supporting the lips is something I'd never heard spoken about before. Thank you for the informative video, Dr. 🌹
I'm grateful to be black - I have naturally full lips that are proportionate and don't look duck-like, swollen or unnatural :) Best of all? There were free :)
@@bnb0510 You should love yourself for who you are, whatever race you were born with is a part of you. It cannot be changed and although it may effect your culture or physical appearance what really matters is your personality and your values, which race does not effect. If anyone were to judge you simply because that's how you were born they are lost as human beings.
Actually the Kylie Jenner lip challenge didn't cause harmless results. Some people damaged their nerves in their lips... Edit: AND broke blood vessels!
The thing that is attractive is healthiness. Its not lips this size, or eyes that shape, or nose this size. Small lips, big lips, medium lips - if someone is healthy it all looks attractive.
Health is important but I saw something somewhere there’s a reason we find symmetry in people faces attractive, it has to do with our instincts and finding a healthy partner is part of it, but someone who’s physically attractive is not necessarily healthy and people who are not physically attractive to the general population is necessarily unhealthy
Yes! Where did that come from??? The lips are not a "sexual" organ any more than breasts are. Just because body parts are used for sex doesn't mean sex is the main function of those parts. Why would he say such a thing?
This is an EXTRAORDINARY video if you're looking into filler and are seeing women on social media, including Pintrest, with big lips. It has been such a challenge over the past year deciding whether to get filler or not, and this video has really helped me to fully, haha, understand the entire structure of the face, not only the lips! Thank you!
Not sure if you've had any "work" done and frankly don't care. Love the symmetry of your face. The size of your lips ..... the shape of your eyes and the square jut of your jaw if your face has been "done" all I can say is, Well done"!
Interesting! I have a LITTLE BIT of filler in my upper and lower lip.. My goal was to keep my upper lip because as a person ages the upper lip thins and recedes (I see this happening on a lot of friends) and my plastic surgeon said it was important to give the lower lip a small amount of filler too. I'm happy with the results. A person has to take into account their face and head shape. I feel that's where a lot of people (including actresses) are going wrong. I won't be cruel and name names. Sometimes I think some actresses, or maybe their doctors, have lost their minds and are blowing up lips like a pool toy. Ridiculous and obvious. Another important fact is to do your homework when getting a Dr.
love that you said 1 ml is a lot of filler. I went to a consult to help disguise some aysymetry in my top lip and wanted less then 1ml...I was told 1ml was hardly anything and what they would use for a natural look. Also love that you mentioned Rae Morris she's a great MUA
@@happylife3930 no I have looked at her various pictures yes her lips were big but her upper lip and lower lip were not of same size. You can clearly see it in many videos that many people have made about her. You can watch lorry hills video about her. There she overlaps the pictures and she is very informed and a plastic surgery enthusiast.
I have the opposite I never have been insecure about my lips untill it became a trend and now I feel sometimes kinda inferior. It is such bullshit actually, it is about what fits you and that is not always what society likes at that momebt.
Your videos rock! I've had many friends mess with their faces, and it always starts out good, but over time it starts to look unnatural and unattractive. It's fascinating to learn why it becomes unattractive, and how we shouldn't really be afraid of aging, but more so be cautious of messing up your face trying to achieve unrealistic beauty goals.
I am so happy I found you! Such integrity. I don’t have any interest in having my lips augmented but this is such important information that I wish more people understood, so I’m sharing it on any platform I can. Thank you!
My practitioner had to add more filler on my left side. He stated that I had a lot of volume loss on the left. I walked out swollen and one side more swollen. Lol. He assured me that once the swelling subsides. It is healing now and looks fantastic

IndianaJosephine it’s not that deep. cause like i’m just saying THEY legit screwed up and that’s how Noah’s ark happened, it was literally God just wiping the slate clean
I had an instant Angelina Jolie plump lips in a jiffy, I ate Samyang Korean spicy chili Ramen, and it was so hot, it burned my lips and it plumped up in seconds..the sensation subsided but the fat lips remained for hours.. 😜💋
I have to say that using retin a at .1% for the last year has dramatically reduced marionette lines and minor vertical lines around my mouth. It's made my cupid's bow more prominent. I have had excellent results and I've learned that the peeling skin means it's being successful in working instead of viewing it as annoying.
Retin A 0.1% is super strong. But it's the only cream proven to reduce wrinkles. Good work on using it. For those reading this comment that are considering a strong Retin A, you are probably best to start on a weaker version and even then , slowly introduce it. Lots of peeling and redness occurs otherwise.
Sad that nothing can be done for asymmetrical lips. I'm in my 70's and happy with my lip volume, but the asymmetry becomes increasingly apparent. Alas!
I have very small lips and I've noticed I havent taken many selfies in the last 5 years mostly because of that. Everyone on insta has got these beautiful plump lips and Im here with two lines on my face... I'm really self-conscious about it. Feel like I was born at the wrong time
All features are beautiful. some features become trends but those trends will pass. We love what we don't have, if we change ourselves to fit a new trend our old features will become trendy. Be happy! Those are not lines they're lips!
Nice intelligent discussion on lip fillers and aesthetics. Too many lay people don't have an eye for proper aesthetics and often want lips that do not their suit face. Regarding the tight-lipped patients who seem to push the filler out within 2-3 weeks, how do you best treat these patients?
Karen Whitman much less risk with lip filler than under eye for example or nose. But going to a skilled provider with the right education on anatomy greatly reduces the risk and going to a board certified doctor will also mean that if there are complications they can respond quickly.
Karen Whitman yeah, I get it. And honestly filler is not a “need” and I don’t think anyone should get it if they’re on the fence about it. So definitely not trying to say you should go get it, just more sharing my experience just to be clear. What I can say is that I’ve gotten filler in my lips, cheeks, under eye, nose, and around the mouth and never had a complication aside from a tiny bruise in more vascular areas and of course some swelling. I have a nurse at the place I go to who specializes in lips and who knows my facial anatomy really well and I see her for lips and Botox. But for under eye I see an actual plastic surgeon because I don’t want to take any chances. I actually see a nurse practitioner for my nose because it’s a really dangerous area and she specializes it (and also owns 6 led spas and has one of the top Allergen accounts in the country she’s amazing) and the plastic surgeon I see for under eye doesn’t do nose. Typically someone skilled will do some vein mapping so that they can be sure to avoid veins and they’re well versed on the “no go” areas for filler injection. Probably sounds like my face is full of filler 😂 but a skilled provider can do a lot with a little. If you ever change your mind someday, do a few consults with the top people in your area. Ask them what their protocol for complications is. Incidences of arterial and venous occlusion are very rare but if it does happen, a quick response is critical. And stick to lower risk areas if you’re still nervous but want it done.
So informative, thank you! Between you and Dr. Harris in the UK I feel like I finally understand why I haven’t been completely happy with my lip fillers in the past. So hard to find a practitioner that does lips really well and respects your natural anatomy.
Brilliant video! It is genuinely refreshing to see another aesthetic provider who cares about the patient's wellbeing over their wallet, and is willing to say "no" for their own good. I am sick over how many in the medical aesthetics profession will put their bottom line above their duty to their patients and just cave in to their demands, no matter how ridiculous or harmful they may be. Way to maintain your integrity as a medical professional and an aesthetic provider. You are one of the good ones!! 💖💉
Ok but the best part is when you imagine this articulate dad doctor hunched in front of his laptop searching lip memes and chuckling to himself at his pop culture reference clips 😂😂😂
You and I both. I even remember a lady made fun of as a kid for my lips. Saw her recently and she looks like a toad. I couldn't help but laugh at her in her face.
Dr. Gavin is in the business of "enhancing" one's looks, and he believes he has an obligation to educate his patients about the procedures they are about to undergo, so they can make an informed decision. If only 1/2 the medical pros out there had that kind of a conscience we'd have less "pharma- junkies", surgeries gone wrong, & less waiting to be seen when we really needed a doctor, because people would not get UNnecessary treatments. God Bless this Man!! Dr. Gavin Chan - Be Safe & Be Well - Ushta-te!!
I am not into cosmetic surgery (not against neither) but this guy is somehow hypnotizing and now I keep binge watching. Anyways good knowledge shared:)
I disagree with people saying non black ppl that get lip filler are trying to "become black" just what?? Just because you were bullied by 1 person as a kid doesn't mean everyone thought your lips/nose/whatever were ugly. Kids say mean shit sometimes So, does the same go for a black person getting a smaller nose? Are they trying to be white? Biracial? Different ethnic backgrounds have predominantly certain features that are seen as very beautiful in society. That's all there is to it really.
Personally, I do believe that there are far too many people getting injections and procedures for big lips. I don't actually find that attractive when it is not natural because it reminds me more of a blow up doll's face than a person.I am saddened to see so many women believing that "being sexy" is what it is all about. I have seen some ridiculous lips lately. They look like they are struggling to make peace with each other while the person is talking, as their lips stumble over themselves awkwardly. However, that being said, I am not against a person wanting a more youthful look or creating symmetry in their lips when they are very thin, irregularly shaped, or do not have a way of balancing other large features of the face. I'm just not into the whole "BJ LIPS" thing! LOVED this informative video!!!!
As we've seen with celebrities who have gotten their lips done for years, I believe that those who go to great lengths to have "kylie Jenner " lips, as well as kylie Jenner herself, will eventually find their faces looking very odd and misshapen. Also, listen to how long these treatments have been around. Not long at all. We dont know the adverse effects theyll have in 30-50 years bc they havent been around long enough to actually witness it ourselves. Everything is cyclical. Even body type ideals. "Thinner" lips are definitely coming back in fashion one day, and they can even be in fashion NOW, as long as we have people deciding what beauty is rather than letting media decide for us. Be patient and avoid going through these great lengths just to look like ONE person. That, in essence, is madness and benefits--you guessed it-- only that one person.
great video and great point about the standard of beauty and how a lot of patients have unrealistic expectations about what fillers could do for them!!
I’m black, I have full lips but I remember standing in the mirror as a kid and hating them. I learned to love them before big lips were cool. But I still don’t understand wanting lip fillers.
It's the same as a girl wanting to be curvy, having the perfect hair, and cute nose.. it just makes them feel good and more "womanly" or "pretty". I think if it brings positive change into someone's life, then it cant be so bad
I can understand wanting to get a little filler if your lips are non-existent like Kylie's were, but these girls are going overboard. I wish the Instagram blow-up doll aesthetic would just die already.
I am not a fan of lip fillers. Has anyone ever asked you your opinion of what they can do to look more attractive, or do people just come in knowing what they want?
E. P. Yup, I would rather buy hair than buy body parts like lips and butts.. if I don’t like my wig or weave, I simply buy another one or style my own hair .. can’t say the same for asses and lips 🥴
@E. P. Well saying "they" is generalizing. Not every white person thinks that way. If white people is what you mean. If white people banded all black people in a category of "they" it would be classed as racist. So simmer down and don't put everyone in one category.
@E. P. Complete nonsense. You were using the term "they" to put everyone in a category. I didn't assume that. And no not all white people put black people in one category at all. Not all people generalise. Some people know everyone is different and unique. And some people love all colours and races. Some people have no wish to "take over" and some people believe or not a lot of white people do not stand for racism. Not because they are complacent to it. I didn't want to start anything. you did by using the term "they" referring to a type of people. I live in the UK and apart from a minority that will always be too pig headed to put things aside, most people here get along with each other and race and colour is not even a thought that comes in to our heads. The colour of a person is the last thing I take note of. Everyone is different.
Even with a cannula, I had ridiculous bruising after getting my lips done - I looked like I had a purple moustache for the 8 or so days after getting my lips done. I wasn't expecting that, and in hindsight I would have organised to have more time off work after getting my lips done. The doctor was great but there are a lot of blood vessels around the lip area and she must have knicked a couple. Initially I had a ml put in the lips/around the lips (eg. philtrum) and felt like it was too much - but once the swelling settled, it was perfect.
Great insights! Curious as to how you feel about the "lip flip" botox that seems really popular right now. I know I lose volume when I am stressed and pursing my lips and I can get a little bit back by relaxing those little muscles.
HI Gavin! Thanks for the informative video once again, Quick unrelated question...Jaw fillers: do they have the potential to cause premature sagging? I just worry about what happens in that area once the fillers subside.
Dr. Chan mentioned that some of us have the "tight upper lip" look. I am now 43. I used to have a beautiful cupid's bow but, all my life, I've always subconsciously pursed my lips and still do. It stretches and lengthens the area between my nose and upper lips, and flattened my columns/made philtrum dimple almost nonexistent. Can this be treated first with Botox before correcting lip shape? I wish we had someone or I knew of someone in southern california who holds the same esthetics, skills, and insight as Dr. Chan. He is absolutely amazing and incredibly informative!!
I tried 1 mil and it was too big for me. Now back to my normsl lips and I like it more. I have a defined face, thin nose so too plump lips looks freakish on me
I've done the lip outline twice, I'm 47 and the first time was just after my youngest son was born that was 20 years ago and the second time was about 18 months ago after my mum passed away and I needed a bit of rejuvenation. The results always look good but I think sometimes less is more.
When a child is born she is perfect. She is carefully put together by DNA of generations, or the work of god or whatever you wish to call it. And we think that by putting filler in the lips and cheeks it would be better? Well....the result often speaks for itself. Like Dr. Frankenstein chose the most handsome features of man to put together his masterpiece, the result was an abomination. Such a puzzle just doesn't add up. There is harmony in nature, and I think we should emphasize it more than we do these days.
In my opinion It’s just best to go for the natural look instead of going crazy with the filler. Also try traditional Juvederm instead of the Juvederm Ultra Plus which has larger molecules and create a more significant look. Just ask your practitioner. They will help you decide the correct product.
I do lip filler to balance out my face because I have very large round eyes in a small face ... so I do that and my eyes don’t appear as large as they do ... I have good lips to begin with so it’s just a balance enhancement ...
Yes, a great reason to treat the lips - for facial balance. But unfortunately, most people just get them done because they feel like it - even if it doesn't suit them.
Victorian Cosmetic Institute Thank you ... it’s also because I like them bigger don’t get me wrong ... but with the tuff I do botox , did my nose ... my goal is to look the best version of myself ... I don’t go in with somebody else in mind ... I have this and I can enhance it ... I don’t get people who go to do this stuff wanting to look someone else ... when I did my nose I went to my doctor with a photoshopped picture of myself and my expectations of my nose ... I didn’t go with a picture of someone else ... hope I’m not misunderstood here
I really enjoy your videos. I just had mine redone after a year. I can always tell during the times they are swollen that I wouldn't want them any bigger than I get them. I ALWAYS use that muppet as a way to describe too much filler. LOL! I am very happy with mine and the lady who does them has no problems cutting people off at a certain point. I love your descriptions of things like "the hotdog effect". These are all the things I describe to my lady that I DON'T want. You just reaffirmed the fact that I have a really great practitioner. She knows how to do a REALLY good job! And noooooo muppet lips Thank GOD!
I am very curious to know your thoughts on the bullhorn lip lift/sub nasal lift. P.s. Thank you so much for these videos. I'm binging and so grateful I found your channel. I feel I am learning so much and hope I can visit you all in Australia someday soon.
With all due respect bovine is from cows Porcine is from pigs Would like to see a video on peri oral line solutions Laser. Peels. Fillers etc There are very few of these videos currently online Interested to learn your experience
Very informative and interesting! Since I’m naturally blessed with lips I was mainly interested in the theories. But have to admit it’s weird to hear you talk about the line nose-lips-chin, with the comment that “overfilling” leads to the lips protruding that line. My lips already naturally protrude that line 😂🙈
Eyes with their spiritual depth are the most important sexual organ displayed on our face. Full stop. Filled up lips are too obvious to be sexy. Its the sexiness of the person embracing their body as it is that is Sexy. Nothing else.
Why is this recommanded to me ? I have natural big lips. 😊 This is so weird that Kylie Jenner, who has lip fillers, inspired people to get bigger lips, when many people have natural big lips.
Fame, socioeconomic background, followers and statue, make a marketing big lips easier. We live in the technological age, we use social media for marketing. Ps her plastic surgery made her look middle eastern and exotic.
Would you recommend cosmetic lip tattooing to complement lip fillers to help with shape and colour? Also, I am wanting to train in cosmetic aesthetics, I am a pharmacist by Trade, and in NZ dermal filler is under a standing order I believe. Can you recommend how I go about my training or where I could train in this area?
In primary school in the early 2000’s a boy I had a crush on used to tease me and call me a hippopotamus 🦛 because apparently hippos have big lips .....
curious to know how much we lose in lip volume once we’re in our 50s, and if we need more ml than younger patients. i imagine the ratio you showed would apply to us, (we older ladies. )
When I was a child I played with one of my sand molds and did exactly same thing like girls in the video: I stick my lips into it and suck the air inside. The effect was terrible! Instead of getting bigger my lips stayed the same size but skin around them became dark blue and this bruise imitated pattern of the sand mold. 🤦🏻♀️ My grandma was so angry because in that day she planned to visit her friend with me😆
Very interesting that you mentioned the make up artist and how she doesn't overdraw near the centre of the top lip! I have found when doing make up on myself this works. I only overdraw near the cupids bow, this is a lot more flattering and makes them look more pouty without them looking big or fake.
As a teenager I was insecure about the size of my lips . I was more worried that boys wouldn't want to kiss me than them looking right for my face. They've always made sense to be more "rose bud" for my other facial features.
I have delicate facial features, and thick lips don't suit me. I just want a slightly lifted/pouty shape (especially the middle upper lip), lifted mouth corners, and a little philtrum enhancement. I had 1cc injected, only into the meat of my lips (the doc said she wanted to give me 'rosebud' lips, whatever that meant), that was a few years back... Too much...I did not like the look at all! It didn't look fake, but my mouth looked heavier and wider, my philtrum looked longer, and the corners looked more droopy.
This fad of having huge fake lips is making me appreciate the character of my thin lips more. I have always felt self conscious about them but now I like that it makes me different from the norm. Give it time, thin lips will be back "in". Just imagine if Mona Lisa had a big trout pout! The world's most famous smile wouldn't quite be the same!
rhythmandblues alibi I think what we should be aiming for is acceptance of all lips thin or thick. There are a great deal of people who were relentlessly tormented for having big lips before plump lips were popular and now their finally able to catch a break. And this idea extends further then just lips and speaks to end all homogenous beauty standards, which I believe were moving towards very very slowly. With that in mind there is a slim chance thin lips will ever be exclusively considered beautiful but rather that they will be seen as equal in attractiveness as larger lips
Hey, be nice! Some of us were born with them and have grown up self conscious about them. I used to cover my mouth, bc of those types of remarks. I've finally gained confidence over them.
Hopefully after the lockdown it will be no trend of fashion of beauty standards lips size, skin or colours just accepted all naturally beauty without any judgement.
And hair! I stopped shaving my pits in quarantine and wax them, but I like how they feel hairy. My armpits don't feels a wet when I sweat. The hair wicks the sweat away and I find I like it more than without. I'm Texas deodorant doesn't stop the sweating let's be real lol
Thank u Dr! We were missing u! Great help for patients AND physicians! As u said the lips have to be proportional to the rest of the face, otherwise it looks super fake...not pretty. Cheers!
Wow! I've watched several videos now and ALL of them have been so informative. Thank you so much for posting all of these videos. Seriously... Fantastic!!!
I think it's also important to inform people who want fillers: there's a high chance that whenever you have a fever or are sick, your lips will go insanely inflamed and engorged (beyond the filler you had injected). It's painful and unsightly.
That is definitely not a common reaction. However hyaluronic acid works with fluid shifts and a sick person especially a febrile person should be consuming extra fluid, Even a person with no filler looks a bit swollen when sick.
Yes I also notice I get swollen lips whenever I stay with my head down for a while, i hate so much this lip filler and regret it from the first second I got it injected. The lips are also painful sometimes, I think because the scar tissue is not as flexible and if I do a weird movement it will hurt. I don't know how people keep doing and redoing their lips, this is so uncomfortable and I wpuld be so happy if I could have my natural lips back right now.
In my opinion, I’ve only really seen excellent lip filler results in those that have relatively short philtrums or nose to lip distance. I am a patient of your Templestowe clinic. Do you do philtrum reduction?
Yes, you have a good point Sophia! I think the procedure you are referring to is an upper lip lift. Basically, the skin is excised from just under the nose and the upper lip length (vertical length) shortened. It's an amazing procedure . It makes you look younger, as the upper lip usually stretches and gets longer with ageing. We don't do this at our clinic, but can make appropriate referrals.
I had a lip lift, took a good 10 years off my face ! I’m fairly young but my lip was unusually long for my age (26) and I could not look in the mirror without noticing. And after my rhinoplasty it was even more obvious since the tip of my nose was slightly lifted. I do have a small scar at the base of my nose but for me it was so worth it, no regrets,
Tell us what you think about lip filler - are there too many 'big' lips out there? Or are big lips better? What do you like?
Victorian Cosmetic Institute I feel like I can always spot lip filler. I’d like to get mine done just to reclaim some lost volume, but I’m scared of getting something fake looking.
Victorian Cosmetic Institute it seems that lips which appear too large, have in common an appearance of distended “borders” of the lips between flesh colored skin and the “pink” area of the lips.
Wheres your clinic?
@Se A Interesting, because older people lose lip volume and have smaller lips. Maybe you are talking about teenagers/people in their early 20s, who look like they're in their 30s when they have their lips overdone?
@@jenniferfreund2133 You're so right about that! I notice people lose a clear border and many end up wearing lip liner to compensate.
I'm trying to just accept what God gave me.
God gave us the ability to enhance the brilliance that was given.
Please do , look around next time you're walking around ur city you'll spot the"filler gang" instantly&it doesn't matter about the other facial features they ALL look the same& imo kinda cheap. You're perfectly imperfect, be you nobody else looks exactly like you so enjoy it.if you do get fillers you'll look just like all of the rest of the fake lip crew . You're beautiful naturally.I promise the most compliments I get are about how natural I look &unique - just food for thought.
Edit: and I am FAR from perfect, it's usually the things that are unique (that I wished were like"every 1 else's "when I was a teen) that get those compliments.

I needed to see this. Idk if I wana try or not.
I notice that people who screw around other people's faces never have work done on themselves. Do they know something we don't?

Actually the Kylie Jenner lip challenge didn't cause harmless results. Some people damaged their nerves in their lips...

The thing that is attractive is healthiness. Its not lips this size, or eyes that shape, or nose this size. Small lips, big lips, medium lips - if someone is healthy it all looks attractive.
this. when will they learn lol!
Yes, I agree and the right amount of confidence. Not ego and narcissist. I like people who smile and are friendly.
Health is important but I saw something somewhere there’s a reason we find symmetry in people faces attractive, it has to do with our instincts and finding a healthy partner is part of it, but someone who’s physically attractive is not necessarily healthy and people who are not physically attractive to the general population is necessarily unhealthy
@@fuzzyx2face I've heard that before too.

This is an EXTRAORDINARY video if you're looking into filler and are seeing women on social media, including Pintrest, with big lips. It has been such a challenge over the past year deciding whether to get filler or not, and this video has really helped me to fully, haha, understand the entire structure of the face, not only the lips! Thank you!

Thank you Vanessa. Only a little Botox now and then
@@viccosmeticinstitute I was also wondering the same thing :-)) thanks for being honest.
Interesting! I have a LITTLE BIT of filler in my upper and lower lip.. My goal was to keep my upper lip because as a person ages the upper lip thins and recedes (I see this happening on a lot of friends) and my plastic surgeon said it was important to give the lower lip a small amount of filler too. I'm happy with the results. A person has to take into account their face and head shape. I feel that's where a lot of people (including actresses) are going wrong. I won't be cruel and name names. Sometimes I think some actresses, or maybe their doctors, have lost their minds and are blowing up lips like a pool toy. Ridiculous and obvious. Another important fact is to do your homework when getting a Dr.
love that you said 1 ml is a lot of filler. I went to a consult to help disguise some aysymetry in my top lip and wanted less then 1ml...I was told 1ml was hardly anything and what they would use for a natural look. Also love that you mentioned Rae Morris she's a great MUA
srsly 1 ml is nothing def the first time

Your videos rock! I've had many friends mess with their faces, and it always starts out good, but over time it starts to look unnatural and unattractive. It's fascinating to learn why it becomes unattractive, and how we shouldn't really be afraid of aging, but more so be cautious of messing up your face trying to achieve unrealistic beauty goals.
I am so happy I found you! Such integrity. I don’t have any interest in having my lips augmented but this is such important information that I wish more people understood, so I’m sharing it on any platform I can. Thank you!
My practitioner had to add more filler on my left side. He stated that I had a lot of volume loss on the left. I walked out swollen and one side more swollen. Lol. He assured me that once the swelling subsides. It is healing now and looks fantastic

I have to say that using retin a at .1% for the last year has dramatically reduced marionette lines and minor vertical lines around my mouth. It's made my cupid's bow more prominent. I have had excellent results and I've learned that the peeling skin means it's being successful in working instead of viewing it as annoying.
Retin A 0.1% is super strong. But it's the only cream proven to reduce wrinkles. Good work on using it. For those reading this comment that are considering a strong Retin A, you are probably best to start on a weaker version and even then , slowly introduce it. Lots of peeling and redness occurs otherwise.
The peeling doesn’t necessarily mean it’s working it just means you retinized your skin faster than it could handle
@@sarahjaynescott545 it's .1 percent. They're all the same no matter what brand. The .1 percent is the highest strength.
Naturally full lips are beautiful such as those on Black women
Sorry, white girl with natch big lips. Ain't you ever seen some of our Jewish brothers and sisters' lips? They size queens!

Nice intelligent discussion on lip fillers and aesthetics. Too many lay people don't have an eye for proper aesthetics and often want lips that do not their suit face.
Regarding the tight-lipped patients who seem to push the filler out within 2-3 weeks, how do you best treat these patients?
Can't treat the tight lipped patients. I tell them it won't work
Lip lift might be helpful
sophia bush has small lips and i think shes gorgeous. beauty is not just about one feature, its about the overall thing.
I'm scared to get facial fillers because of the very real potential of injecting the facial arteries and causing necrosis of the skin!
Yes, that is a rare risk of fillers. If you are informed, you can at least make an informed decision
Karen Whitman much less risk with lip filler than under eye for example or nose. But going to a skilled provider with the right education on anatomy greatly reduces the risk and going to a board certified doctor will also mean that if there are complications they can respond quickly.
@@skinsciencebymira yeah still scared Haha
Karen Whitman yeah, I get it. And honestly filler is not a “need” and I don’t think anyone should get it if they’re on the fence about it. So definitely not trying to say you should go get it, just more sharing my experience just to be clear.
What I can say is that I’ve gotten filler in my lips, cheeks, under eye, nose, and around the mouth and never had a complication aside from a tiny bruise in more vascular areas and of course some swelling. I have a nurse at the place I go to who specializes in lips and who knows my facial anatomy really well and I see her for lips and Botox. But for under eye I see an actual plastic surgeon because I don’t want to take any chances. I actually see a nurse practitioner for my nose because it’s a really dangerous area and she specializes it (and also owns 6 led spas and has one of the top Allergen accounts in the country she’s amazing) and the plastic surgeon I see for under eye doesn’t do nose. Typically someone skilled will do some vein mapping so that they can be sure to avoid veins and they’re well versed on the “no go” areas for filler injection.
Probably sounds like my face is full of filler 😂 but a skilled provider can do a lot with a little. If you ever change your mind someday, do a few consults with the top people in your area. Ask them what their protocol for complications is. Incidences of arterial and venous occlusion are very rare but if it does happen, a quick response is critical. And stick to lower risk areas if you’re still nervous but want it done.
@@skinsciencebymira I understand. Have you ever had fraxel laser?
I have had my lips done with 0.5 ml fillers and I love the natural looking result. I got even upper and lower lips and not overdone lips
So informative, thank you! Between you and Dr. Harris in the UK I feel like I finally understand why I haven’t been completely happy with my lip fillers in the past. So hard to find a practitioner that does lips really well and respects your natural anatomy.
I lost it laughing at the end “fill em up!!” 😂😂😂😂
Thank you so much
All these people telling me if i don't go for 1ml its not gonna work
But i feel like that is too much for me
So helpful
Brilliant video! It is genuinely refreshing to see another aesthetic provider who cares about the patient's wellbeing over their wallet, and is willing to say "no" for their own good. I am sick over how many in the medical aesthetics profession will put their bottom line above their duty to their patients and just cave in to their demands, no matter how ridiculous or harmful they may be. Way to maintain your integrity as a medical professional and an aesthetic provider. You are one of the good ones!! 💖💉
Wish more doctors were like him!!! He really knows what he is talkin about

Dr. Gavin is in the business of "enhancing" one's looks, and he believes he has an obligation to educate his patients about the procedures they are about to undergo, so they can make an informed decision. If only 1/2 the medical pros out there had that kind of a conscience we'd have less "pharma- junkies", surgeries gone wrong, & less waiting to be seen when we really needed a doctor, because people would not get UNnecessary treatments.

I disagree with people saying non black ppl that get lip filler are trying to "become black" just what?? Just because you were bullied by 1 person as a kid doesn't mean everyone thought your lips/nose/whatever were ugly. Kids say mean shit sometimes
So, does the same go for a black person getting a smaller nose? Are they trying to be white? Biracial? Different ethnic backgrounds have predominantly certain features that are seen as very beautiful in society. That's all there is to it really.
Personally, I do believe that there are far too many people getting injections and procedures for big lips. I don't actually find that attractive when it is not natural because it reminds me more of a blow up doll's face than a person.I am saddened to see so many women believing that "being sexy" is what it is all about. I have seen some ridiculous lips lately. They look like they are struggling to make peace with each other while the person is talking, as their lips stumble over themselves awkwardly. However, that being said, I am not against a person wanting a more youthful look or creating symmetry in their lips when they are very thin, irregularly shaped, or do not have a way of balancing other large features of the face. I'm just not into the whole "BJ LIPS" thing!
LOVED this informative video!!!!
As we've seen with celebrities who have gotten their lips done for years, I believe that those who go to great lengths to have "kylie Jenner " lips, as well as kylie Jenner herself, will eventually find their faces looking very odd and misshapen.
Also, listen to how long these treatments have been around. Not long at all. We dont know the adverse effects theyll have in 30-50 years bc they havent been around long enough to actually witness it ourselves.
Everything is cyclical. Even body type ideals. "Thinner" lips are definitely coming back in fashion one day, and they can even be in fashion NOW, as long as we have people deciding what beauty is rather than letting media decide for us.
Be patient and avoid going through these great lengths just to look like ONE person. That, in essence, is madness and benefits--you guessed it-- only that one person.
Lip filler can be good in some and rare cases, but these days People are crazy bye modifying them selfs.
great video and great point about the standard of beauty and how a lot of patients have unrealistic expectations about what fillers could do for them!!
I’m black, I have full lips but I remember standing in the mirror as a kid and hating them. I learned to love them before big lips were cool. But I still don’t understand wanting lip fillers.
It's the same as a girl wanting to be curvy, having the perfect hair, and cute nose.. it just makes them feel good and more "womanly" or "pretty". I think if it brings positive change into someone's life, then it cant be so bad
dope that’s not the point
@@kels8845 She said she didn't get the point of why some girls get fillers so I chimed in haha
dope oh lol my bad
I can understand wanting to get a little filler if your lips are non-existent like Kylie's were, but these girls are going overboard. I wish the Instagram blow-up doll aesthetic would just die already.
Can we show a POC who naturally has bigger lips but gets certain areas for symmetry?

@E. P. sorry, who is "they"?
@E. P. Well saying "they" is generalizing. Not every white person thinks that way. If white people is what you mean. If white people banded all black people in a category of "they" it would be classed as racist. So simmer down and don't put everyone in one category.
@E. P. Complete nonsense. You were using the term "they" to put everyone in a category. I didn't assume that. And no not all white people put black people in one category at all. Not all people generalise. Some people know everyone is different and unique. And some people love all colours and races. Some people have no wish to "take over" and some people believe or not a lot of white people do not stand for racism. Not because they are complacent to it. I didn't want to start anything. you did by using the term "they" referring to a type of people. I live in the UK and apart from a minority that will always be too pig headed to put things aside, most people here get along with each other and race and colour is not even a thought that comes in to our heads. The colour of a person is the last thing I take note of. Everyone is different.
This Doctor talking about lips issue actually got beautiful pulpy natural lips. 🧡
He's had procedures done though.
Shape Is the most important imho.Thank you Doctor.
Glad you said that. Most people just worry about size. Thank you for sharing Abc Abc
Even with a cannula, I had ridiculous bruising after getting my lips done - I looked like I had a purple moustache for the 8 or so days after getting my lips done. I wasn't expecting that, and in hindsight I would have organised to have more time off work after getting my lips done. The doctor was great but there are a lot of blood vessels around the lip area and she must have knicked a couple. Initially I had a ml put in the lips/around the lips (eg. philtrum) and felt like it was too much - but once the swelling settled, it was perfect.
Great insights! Curious as to how you feel about the "lip flip" botox that seems really popular right now. I know I lose volume when I am stressed and pursing my lips and I can get a little bit back by relaxing those little muscles.
HI Gavin!
Thanks for the informative video once again,
Quick unrelated question...Jaw fillers: do they have the potential to cause premature sagging? I just worry about what happens in that area once the fillers subside.
Okay ,I know that he's talking about lip fillers but why do I feel the urge to kiss him ?
I knew I shouldn't have put the camera so close.
hahahahahaha
He does have good lips , long and full
You too! 😂 💋
Granny Smith I’m not sure? Lol
Dr. Chan mentioned that some of us have the "tight upper lip" look. I am now 43. I used to have a beautiful cupid's bow but, all my life, I've always subconsciously pursed my lips and still do. It stretches and lengthens the area between my nose and upper lips, and flattened my columns/made philtrum dimple almost nonexistent. Can this be treated first with Botox before correcting lip shape?
I wish we had someone or I knew of someone in southern california who holds the same esthetics, skills, and insight as Dr. Chan. He is absolutely amazing and incredibly informative!!
My lips aren't thick, but they're not super thin either, they're perfect for my facial structure though and I love them.
Same.🥰
I have seen pics and videos of men and women with fuller lips. So very attractive!!! Seen pics of men with nice natural lip color also.
I tried 1 mil and it was too big for me. Now back to my normsl lips and I like it more. I have a defined face, thin nose so too plump lips looks freakish on me
Thank you! Love the education!! Such important variables To consider, also very concise and very informative.
Hi Danae. From another Danae here :)
I've done the lip outline twice, I'm 47 and the first time was just after my youngest son was born that was 20 years ago and the second time was about 18 months ago after my mum passed away and I needed a bit of rejuvenation. The results always look good but I think sometimes less is more.
Starts at 7:33 minutes, you can skip the first 7 mins
When a child is born she is perfect. She is carefully put together by DNA of generations, or the work of god or whatever you wish to call it. And we think that by putting filler in the lips and cheeks it would be better? Well....the result often speaks for itself. Like Dr. Frankenstein chose the most handsome features of man to put together his masterpiece, the result was an abomination. Such a puzzle just doesn't add up. There is harmony in nature, and I think we should emphasize it more than we do these days.
In my opinion It’s just best to go for the natural look instead of going crazy with the filler. Also try traditional Juvederm instead of the Juvederm Ultra Plus which has larger molecules and create a more significant look. Just ask your practitioner. They will help you decide the correct product.
I do lip filler to balance out my face because I have very large round eyes in a small face ... so I do that and my eyes don’t appear as large as they do ... I have good lips to begin with so it’s just a balance enhancement ...
Yes, a great reason to treat the lips - for facial balance. But unfortunately, most people just get them done because they feel like it - even if it doesn't suit them.
Victorian Cosmetic Institute Thank you ... it’s also because I like them bigger don’t get me wrong ... but with the tuff I do botox , did my nose ... my goal is to look the best version of myself ... I don’t go in with somebody else in mind ... I have this and I can enhance it ... I don’t get people who go to do this stuff wanting to look someone else ... when I did my nose I went to my doctor with a photoshopped picture of myself and my expectations of my nose ... I didn’t go with a picture of someone else ... hope I’m not misunderstood here
I really enjoy your videos. I just had mine redone after a year. I can always tell during the times they are swollen that I wouldn't want them any bigger than I get them. I ALWAYS use that muppet as a way to describe too much filler. LOL! I am very happy with mine and the lady who does them has no problems cutting people off at a certain point. I love your descriptions of things like "the hotdog effect". These are all the things I describe to my lady that I DON'T want. You just reaffirmed the fact that I have a really great practitioner. She knows how to do a REALLY good job! And noooooo muppet lips Thank GOD!

Very informative and interesting! Since I’m naturally blessed with lips I was mainly interested in the theories. But have to admit it’s weird to hear you talk about the line nose-lips-chin, with the comment that “overfilling” leads to the lips protruding that line. My lips already naturally protrude that line 😂🙈
definitely understand getting a little filler to make everything more symmetrical, but not every face is suited for big lips!
Eyes with their spiritual depth are the most important sexual organ displayed on our face. Full stop. Filled up lips are too obvious to be sexy. Its the sexiness of the person embracing their body as it is that is Sexy. Nothing else.
Why is this recommanded to me ? I have natural big lips. 😊
This is so weird that Kylie Jenner, who has lip fillers, inspired people to get bigger lips, when many people have natural big lips.
@Cillian Murphy of course they are narurally breast the rest has to pay to get that level of beauty
Fame, socioeconomic background, followers and statue, make a marketing big lips easier. We live in the technological age, we use social media for marketing. Ps her plastic surgery made her look middle eastern and exotic.
Leila it's because it transformed her entire face so people figured itll do that for them as well..
Maybe you should see it like this
Black people > Kylie Jenner > society’s
😂😂😂
@Cillian Murphy Not all Africans have large lips.
Would you recommend cosmetic lip tattooing to complement lip fillers to help with shape and colour? Also, I am wanting to train in cosmetic aesthetics, I am a pharmacist by Trade, and in NZ dermal filler is under a standing order I believe. Can you recommend how I go about my training or where I could train in this area?
In primary school in the early 2000’s a boy I had a crush on used to tease me and call me a hippopotamus 🦛 because apparently hippos have big lips .....
curious to know how much we lose in lip volume once we’re in our 50s, and if we need more ml than younger patients. i imagine the ratio you showed would apply to us, (we older ladies. )
Jennifer Freund How old are you? You look great.
just saying I literally thought she she was a teen 😂
Thanks doc, I don't know how this video popped into my feed, but it helped me to see that I have perfect 💋. No enhancements needed.
When I was a child I played with one of my sand molds and did exactly same thing like girls in the video: I stick my lips into it and suck the air inside. The effect was terrible! Instead of getting bigger my lips stayed the same size but skin around them became dark blue and this bruise imitated pattern of the sand mold. 🤦🏻♀️
My grandma was so angry because in that day she planned to visit her friend with me😆
Very interesting that you mentioned the make up artist and how she doesn't overdraw near the centre of the top lip! I have found when doing make up on myself this works. I only overdraw near the cupids bow, this is a lot more flattering and makes them look more pouty without them looking big or fake.
As a teenager I was insecure about the size of my lips . I was more worried that boys wouldn't want to kiss me than them looking right for my face. They've always made sense to be more "rose bud" for my other facial features.
I have delicate facial features, and thick lips don't suit me. I just want a slightly lifted/pouty shape (especially the middle upper lip), lifted mouth corners, and a little philtrum enhancement. I had 1cc injected, only into the meat of my lips (the doc said she wanted to give me 'rosebud' lips, whatever that meant), that was a few years back... Too much...I did not like the look at all! It didn't look fake, but my mouth looked heavier and wider, my philtrum looked longer, and the corners looked more droopy.
HI, ME TOO. Have done first time and the doctor injected 1ml.it was too much for me... Had it dissolved 2 weeks later with enzyme.
This fad of having huge fake lips is making me appreciate the character of my thin lips more. I have always felt self conscious about them but now I like that it makes me different from the norm. Give it time, thin lips will be back "in". Just imagine if Mona Lisa had a big trout pout! The world's most famous smile wouldn't quite be the same!
rhythmandblues alibi I think what we should be aiming for is acceptance of all lips thin or thick. There are a great deal of people who were relentlessly tormented for having big lips before plump lips were popular and now their finally able to catch a break. And this idea extends further then just lips and speaks to end all homogenous beauty standards, which I believe were moving towards very very slowly. With that in mind there is a slim chance thin lips will ever be exclusively considered beautiful but rather that they will be seen as equal in attractiveness as larger lips
Hey, be nice! Some of us were born with them and have grown up self conscious about them. I used to cover my mouth, bc of those types of remarks. I've finally gained confidence over them.
Hopefully after the lockdown
it will be no trend of fashion of beauty standards lips size, skin or colours just accepted all naturally beauty without any judgement.
💘💘💘
And hair! I stopped shaving my pits in quarantine and wax them, but I like how they feel hairy. My armpits don't feels a wet when I sweat. The hair wicks the sweat away and I find I like it more than without. I'm Texas deodorant doesn't stop the sweating let's be real lol
Yes this would be a nice change
lol
You seem like a lovely, balanced doctor!
Thank u Dr! We were missing u!
Great help for patients AND physicians!
As u said the lips have to be proportional to the rest of the face, otherwise it looks super fake...not pretty.
Cheers!
Wow! I've watched several videos now and ALL of them have been so informative. Thank you so much for posting all of these videos.
Seriously... Fantastic!!!
I think it's also important to inform people who want fillers: there's a high chance that whenever you have a fever or are sick, your lips will go insanely inflamed and engorged (beyond the filler you had injected). It's painful and unsightly.
That is definitely not a common reaction. However hyaluronic acid works with fluid shifts and a sick person especially a febrile person should be consuming extra fluid, Even a person with no filler looks a bit swollen when sick.
Yes I also notice I get swollen lips whenever I stay with my head down for a while, i hate so much this lip filler and regret it from the first second I got it injected. The lips are also painful sometimes, I think because the scar tissue is not as flexible and if I do a weird movement it will hurt. I don't know how people keep doing and redoing their lips, this is so uncomfortable and I wpuld be so happy if I could have my natural lips back right now.
im actually doing a botox lip flip BEFORE i consider lip filler :D Thanks for the great video
In my opinion, I’ve only really seen excellent lip filler results in those that have relatively short philtrums or nose to lip distance. I am a patient of your Templestowe clinic. Do you do philtrum reduction?
Yes, you have a good point Sophia! I think the procedure you are referring to is an upper lip lift. Basically, the skin is excised from just under the nose and the upper lip length (vertical length) shortened. It's an amazing procedure . It makes you look younger, as the upper lip usually stretches and gets longer with ageing. We don't do this at our clinic, but can make appropriate referrals.
I had a lip lift, took a good 10 years off my face ! I’m fairly young but my lip was unusually long for my age (26) and I could not look in the mirror without noticing. And after my rhinoplasty it was even more obvious since the tip of my nose was slightly lifted. I do have a small scar at the base of my nose but for me it was so worth it, no regrets,
I’m only here for the editing 😂😂
