Ok. This one might challenge you. The changes are

Ok. This one might challenge you. The changes are super subtle so I’ve included arrows to guide you. I have used dermal filler to create cheek lift (notice the softening of her under eye folds), soften nasolabial folds, reshape her Cupid’s bow, subtly point her chin, straighten her S bend (her chin/inner jawline) & soften her marionettes. You might notice the light bouncing off these areas differently. We are often just tweaking the interplay of light & shadow with dermal filler treatments. I think it’s important to know that when you review b&a pictures, the changes are typically more obvious in real life. In addition, photos are static in nature, in other words, still frame shots. Facial movement will emphasise dermal filler related changes. So always consider this when you are assessing cosmetic work.

Balance. Does anyone else struggle with this? I can’t quite get it right. More often than not I work too much & neglect other aspects of my life. I am fortunate I have a super understanding & supportive partner @andy_t_86. But even within my work sphere, I can’t seem to strike the right balance between industry events & clinic time & ‘behind the scenes’ stuff. I’m posting this because I’m sure I’m not alone. I’m sure there are other type A perfectionists who feel the same ... somewhat inadequate, always frustrated, & typically holding themselves to higher standards than others would. Sometimes I realise my expectations are unrealistic & unsustainable & sometimes I just beat myself up. I’m sure we all do. I think in today’s society we believe everyone else is doing everything so much better & there is a huge amount of imposter syndrome, especially for women, but also men. Social media certainly fuels this, at least for me. If you can relate to these feelings, I want you to know that I am not immune & you are not alone. At the end of the day we are all human, we learn from our mistakes & we are constantly rebalancing our priorities & our lives. So maybe we should just cut ourselves some slack? Imagine if we encouraged ourselves like we would our sisters, our best friends, our children (fur babies for some of us)? On that note, how do parents do it? Try to be kind to yourself & keep striving to find the balance that works best for you. Because at the end of the day, that’s where we find the sweet spot. X. #lifebalance

It’s amazing what lifting the cheeks & shaping the chin will do for your face shape & refreshing your look in a natural way. The lovely client was kind enough to share her dermal filler treatment results, which I’m sure you can all agree are subtle yet significant. Love this! #wholefaceapproach #dermalfillers #antiageing #melbourne #cosdoc #refreshyournaturallook #drjodie

Here are some more subtle lower face treatment results with dermal filler. Note how her nasolabial folds are less pronounced & her chin is more shapely & her marionette hollows have softened. A gorgeous result for a gorgeous girl. And just to hammer home a point, the absence of nasolabial folds does not equate to beauty. Quite the opposite. Personally I find a complete lack of nasolabial folds alien like & abnormal. Let’s start normalising normal ageing & promoting looking good at any age with subtle tweaks. #NLF #dermalfiller #drjodie #surreyhills #melbourne #refreshyournaturallook

Many thanks to my gorgeous client for allowing me

Many thanks to my gorgeous client for allowing me to post her dermal filler treatment results. As you can see her nasolabial folds (NLFs) have been softened, but will need repeated treatments over time. There is some minor bruising that will fortunately settle quickly, but the end result is a subtly, lifted outcome.

I am often asked about treatment of NLFs ... so here is a reminder:
* NLFs are those folds or lines that form from your nose to the corner of your mouth
* They occur as a result of repeated smiling, in combination with soft tissue & bony changes in your mid face causing your cheeks to fall forwards & down, creating a line or fold
* Dermal filler aims to soften, not eliminate, NLFs
* Complete absence of NLFs can look alien like or fake
* Complete absence of NLFs on social media is usually clever editing
* We all have them to some degree, even Angelina Jolie!
* My approach with dermal filler? ...
* First fill your cheeks (& tear troughs) to smooth & lift your mid face (or give the illusion of lift) - repositioning fat pads/ligaments & rebuilding the underlying bony structure improves your face shape & ‘picks up’ your NLF
* Then directly treat the NLF itself to soften further with multiple small superficial injections
* Sometimes filler may be placed deep in hollows on either side of your nose too to correct volume loss & smooth your upper NLFs even more
* Similarly filler may be used to restore volume loss above your lip, which may also help
* All of this can be done without creating chipmunk cheeks
* BUT direct NLF filler work must be light handed or it can bulk the area or leave visible product (I have seen this & dissolved it)
* Direct NLF treatment may also cause bruising along your lines, so time your treatment with your social life (but hey ... masks 😂) - it settles within a week
* Swelling also occurs but settles over a few days
* You can stage your treatments into multiple sessions if you need to
* You may need to repeat direct NLF treatment within 6 months for best results
* NLF treatments can be dangerous (with risks of skin breakdown & even blindness) so choose an advanced injector
