When does looking fake actually kick in?

You ever heard of perception shift?

Its a great one actually that even the Aesthetic practitioners you see have them. In my own words perception shift is when your initial perception of lets say lip fillers and your end goal of just plump lips keeps moving. For instance the end goal is to have lip fillers for thin lips and then you have a bit more and a bit more because you still think your lips are thin. I have a fantastic example of this. She thought her lips were too thin after having lip fillers 8 months ago and they were back to her normal size and therefore she wanted more.

Enter in your amazing Aesthetics nurse who not only has partially great memory but she keeps great photo records. So i whipped up her old lips and her lips today and she was jaw dropped. Oh maybe your lips today are actually still fantastic but your perception of what they were are so far removed from the original.

so what did we do? We agreed to wait a bit longeeer and enjoy her juicy lips for a few more weeks or months til she could return for her mainntenance lip filler. An that my friends is how its done. So if you ever see a gorgeous gal and you think damn shes had too much cheek filler or botox. I wouldnt blame the Aesthetic practitioner immediately but wonder if this person has lost sight oof heer original goal.

Now as part oof my amazing photo record I do document like any good nurse who has it ingrained from nursing school. And consultations can reveal the initial desire. And hey this can always change and thats your perogative. But if the change moves into the absurd and ridiculous Im not your gal. I love abig lip, iof thats what you want im here for it. Yet I will always bring you back to whats real and realistic and what yo9u said you wanted and how my actionson your request might take us away from it.

Dang, what was my point?

Looking fake....... right. Once you undertand perception shift and pushing the boou9ndarine of yoour natural borders. For instance yoou have a small face but yoou want lips with at least 3 syringes in there. Fake.

You are usually very expressive with your features but want enough botox in there tp knock out any surprise left in you that your heavy like Mr Cowell? Fake

One more

Your lovely smile lines developed from a lifetime of laughing and smiling bothers you but you want it smooth like a barbie so the fillers used in cheeks and nasalabial folds is way too much you look like a cross between a stuffed chipmunk and a gorilla mouth..... Fake.

Now knowing when this kicks in is something I take serious as an aesthetics nurse and will throw my numbing cream to the ground in protest. Or just say sorry I cant treat you and guide you to alternative treatments plus or minus love that hairline wrinkle on your face. Because I believe we are in such an amazing position to protect you from looking fake and waking up one day regretting what you had done. Im not here for the regrets!!
