I’m so glad I found your channel. Now I just want to fly down to Melbourne and have you work on me.

This Dr. is phenomenally contentious and his integrity is unparalleled. Amazing human being.

So glad an expert is informing women on these procedures because too often we are miss informed by our own doctors. Thank you!

I feel like I’m too paranoid about side effects or things going wrong to ever do permanent fillers

I wouldn’t get them, too risky. Your face changes as you age anyway so you could end up looking odd. Thanks for the video!

When I first started Botox and fillers I was the demo patient for a prominent PS here and one day he called and asked if I would be available for lip filler training he was doing for some docs. I said of course! I arrived, he proceeded to do a full dental block, not questioning him at all. I was a young nursing student, he is a revered PS, who was I to question him?🙄 Then I see his Nurse bring in the tray and there was a brand (I’d rather not say which brand as it is a good product for other issues and I don’t want to turn someone away from it should it be what is the best answer for their particular challenge) of PERMANENT lip filler that he was going to use in my vermillion boarder (top and bottom) hence the dental block. As he was explaining to the PS Residents that the only way to extract this was to surgically remove it, I completely panicked and declined PERMANENT anything at my age back then. I’m glad I did as I’ve seen it surgically removed in women that have had it done and I’ve never been so happy to have said NO to a permanent ANYTHING in my life! Needless to say, he used a non-permanent lip filler, which I was pleased with but I wasn’t his “go to demo student nurse” anymore! I was 24, I’m 53 now so I can’t imagine what it would look like. I’ve only had filler in my lips twice since then as I’ve been blessed with great genetics but that was a close call I know I would have been kicking myself for had I not said no. I recently did the lip flip with fantastic results and I think I’ll stick with this (for me, it’s all I need) but there is definitely something out there for everyone and I have seen some fantastic permanent filler work done here with great results (on friends that are going on year 5 & 6) but it’s definitely a very serious discussion with your PS. I can’t stress enough to people that if you see a “sale” or a “coupon”, that’s NOT the Doctor for you. The louder the advertising, the worse the doctor and I’ve yet to be proven wrong on that. Don’t be afraid of permanent fillers, just do your own due diligence and have a VERY candid and serious talk with YOUR doctor. Read the waiver you’re signing. Only after all of that can you make a truly informed decision. (A ticket to Australia would also be a great start, erhem)😉👍🏻

No, never have and never will. For the reasons you state - fashion plus aging gracefully. What looks appropriate on a 30 year old face, may look totally ridiculous on a 60 year old face. Dr Gavin, just wondering if you'd consider doing a video on thread lifts if you haven't already. I ask because they're intriguing to me. I'm not convinced they really work and need an experts opinion. Thank you.

My temporary have been in for 4 years now Stick to temp unless going to this genius 🙌

You are so SMART and love the sound of your voice too...❤️

I love this dr , so honest and seems friendly and polite ❤️🙏🏻

Thanks for this pertinent information Doctor. I just started this botox and fillers journey a month ago and I was considering the permanent fillers for my nasolabial folds...definitely going to just suck it up and use the temporary fillers, even though it will be more expensive. Better safe than sorry. Thanks again 💕

these videos are soooo helpful thank you! if you're looking for video recommendations, would you be able to do one on how to choose the right doctor for doing fillers? especially for people who have never gotten work done, thank you!

Thank you for sharing all your wonderful information. I am so glad I found you. xoxo roseingeorgia

I've had 3 sessions of Silikon™ 1000 in my lips and it made a difference since the temp fillers never quite took, but I was also just looking for a more natural look since I have smaller tighter lips. I think it depends on the doctor and being patient and not going crazy all at once. I truly just wanted lips where I could rock lipstick, but I did do a ton of research and went to a doctor who really understood the face and how to slowly inject me. But I have seen some scary Bellafill fillers on people.

I really like this doc , shame he only operates in Australia. top top

Can you do a video on very low risk treatments. Procedures with a small amount of downtime that are not hugely risky .... thanks

You say that permanent filler is good for nose deficits. Are they for structural changes, or are they as flexible as HA filler and able to be used in high motion areas? Are there different consistencies like HA filler? Thank you, always love your videos

I have had fat transfer to my face, but it had all disappeared within 6 months. I spent over 5k, so I was really upset.

No matter how good your doctor is, or how highly recommended they are, complications do sometimes happen. The one time I ever had any filler was just a tiny bit in the "11s" between my eyebrows, which went into a blood vessel and had to be reversed. Also, when I was diagnosed with breast cancer the (male) plastic surgeon insisted that agree to implants. They became infected, which then necessitated another 6 hour emergency surgery 5 days later. Since then I've had another half dozen major surgeries with 2 more plastic surgeons to try to correct the painful scarring it caused, which also limited movement in my arm. The point is, complications do happen, and sometimes it's just luck of the draw.

Yesterday I was about to book an appointment for lip filler for the first time, since finding your channel I've learned one thing, I'm NEVER getting filler. What's the point? They migrate after a few months but stays in your body for years. I wanted more symmetrical, plumper lips but even a 0.001% chance of going blind is not worth it, temporary or permanent, oh hell no

That was a great informative video, thank you so much! I can't wait till this coronavirus is over so I can get my cheeks filled as my marionettes are starting to sag really bad and hate how it looks.

Hi Dr. Chan, I wish I had found you before I had permanent filler. I had bellafill in my temporal areas and under my eyes (very expensive). Not very happy with the filler. I think the filler under my eyes was too much and I wouldn't recommend it. It's not awful but I'm now trying to find a procedure to tighten my skin. Thank you for being a honest doctor!

hello dr. chan. Can you pls make a video regarding HIFU vs ultheraphy vs thermage to melt fat in the face. Also does Treadlift helps to lift asian eyes a bit? thank you

Loved your video! Tks!

thanks for this video. Could you talk more about radiesse and sculptra types of fillers?

As always, great info! Can you do a video with the pros and cons of fat grafting? Although it's a natural approach it sems quite unpredictable and irreversible as well.

I have heard that HA fillers leave around a 10% change due to natural collagen production after each treatment and this why you need less and less over the years. Anecdotal reports state for a small defect in the keystone and rhinestone areas of the nose that even one treatment maybe enough for a permanent outcome. Many people forget how they looked before HA fillers hence why many believe they are temporary. Yes you lose a lot of the product but as Gavin states HA fillers may last a lot longer than previously thought, couple this with the collagen production they create and you have to make sure you are not experiencing body dysmorphia before going for top ups. Before and after pictures should always be taken so you do not forget what you looked like!

I’ve had jaw contouring dermal fillers, naso labial folds, Botox in 3 areas, and 1 mils jeuvederm in my lips 👄. Plus fibroblast to my eyes. I’ve started my journey as I turned 50 this year. How do you feel about PDO THREAD LIFT DR ? 🙏

I once had a doctor recommend I get a permanent filler under my eyes. This makes me so thankful I didn’t!

Are you from Melbourne? It would be amazing to know where you work at. My sisters are thinking of getting lip fillers so I would tell them about you bec you seem very knowledgeable about these kinds of stuff.

I got Silikon-1000 injected into my lips and it’s been wonderful. I had lip fillers in the past that from what was explained to me my body metabolized almost immediately. After 4 attempts. I was then introduced to Silikon-1000. What are your thoughts on this in the lips ?

I wish you were in New York area!!!

Ha ha ha. Just saw the pic on front of this video, and thought ' what the heck, he's flipped his lid!' 😁

Dr. Chan, is Sculptra considered a permanent filler in that it enhances your own collagen development? I have considered something called plasmasculpt using my blood and sculptra injections. And what are the contraindications if you have presented with Graves disease but is now in remission? Are any autoimmune disorders a contraindication for any dermal fillers? I would sincerely appreciate any thoughts on this. Thanking you in advance. Ann

What are the problems with temporary fillers ?

Would you recommend permanent filler for revision rhinoplasty? I got indents on my nasal bridge from cortisone shots to reduce healing and my surgeon suggested filler. I don’t want to because filler is temporary and I’ve seen the side effects of patients losing their nose. Will this do the same effect? Also, what is the name of this permanent filler?

Permanent filler sounds terrifying to me due to the potential risks of occlusion with absolutely no remedy. 😱 If Dr. Chan is that cautious and apprehensive about permanent dermal fillers, the rest of us less educated suckers should cower at the thought of it.

I had temporary fillers in my upper lip which migrated above my lip and is very noticeable. There are small lumps above my li. Is this common?

Is Bellafill a permanent filler? I’m in San Diego. Are you planning to come here in the near future? Thank You & Happy Holidays... Blessings Always, Alicia 💋

If anyone here in Australia Melbourne has has their silicone filler surgically removed please let me know. I have botched lips with permanent filler in them. I desperately need it removed.

In my mid sixties I’m more secure in who I am. That’s not to suggest I would prefer fewer signs of ageing, but I don’t lose sleep over it, nor do I feel less attractive. Ageing gracefully is alluring 🥰

So if i would do a non surgical nose job permanent filler is the best option right?

so the skin gets thinner as human ages meaning those fillers will start sticking out as lumps on skin ?

What brands of permanent filler do you recommend?

Please doctor I need your advice.. How about breast filler itbis safe or not please can you tell me will be appreciated. Thank you

Hello, how can I book a appointment with you online? I have stuffer from severe acne for more than a year now.

I had two syringes of Bellafill injected prior to knowing it was permanent and the horrible side effects. My dr told me it would dissolve into my body but I’ve read it never does. She still stands by what she said. I’m terrified now and wish I had seen this before she talked me into it. She didn’t even do the allergy test which would have given me more time to investigate. Did it same day of consult.

Doctor my face is so skinny even if i gained weight, it makes me look unhealthy or older and i was considering cheek fillers but i don't know anything about it or what is the best option. I'm also worried because i tend to use only organic and natural things in my lifestyle so i wanted something not dangerous please if u could help me or just tell me about the fillers types i should research??

What do you think of Ulthepy or those treatments using the same kind of thread lifting tehniques?

What about sculptra? Do you recommend it?

Hello, many thanks for these videos 🙏🏻Do you do PRX-T33? What is your opinion on chemical peels for sagging skin? Can the affect last?

What about prophilo treatment? Has anyone done it?

So far Juvederm has consistently been pushed to me by multiple injectors but I have also hated the results each time by multiple injectors the results seem permanent. I love radiesse. How do you feel about that and have you noticed the longevity of that as opposed to Juvederm which supposedly doesn't last as long?

Can you tell me something about Megafill? it’s becoming popular in Taiwan but I still can’t concour myself...

Thank you for that warning! But tell me, what do you mean by 'collagen stimulators'? Are you referring to Retinols? X

Man wish he did vids about fillers on different acne scars types any1 know of a channel that talks about fillers and acne scars in detail like this guy?

Permanent fillers should be criminalized.

I have seen several of your videos including the one about the mri and that temporary fillers last 4 years. What confuses me is that even though the filler is still left in the face or in the lips, it has moved. Therefore it does not give you the benefit of why you put it in your lips or face. Or am I mistaken and it's just because we get used to the filler and think that it has deflated?

Sir i have unbalance jaws, my left jaw is smaller so what should I do, is filled can treat this?

Is Sculptura a collagen stimulator? I really appreciate all that I am learning from your channel. I am becoming more conservative about having fillers injected now. You are a wonderful teacher!

Would you have permanent fillers done?

I beg and warn anyone reading this to please NEVER have permanent fillers. I had my lips injected with Aquamid which is a hydrogel ( polyacrylamide) and it has destroyed my self confidence and lips. They are lumpy and uneven plus no surgeon wants to risk removing the filler. My only hope is to find out if I can have a non permanent filler to disguise the mess.

Hi dictor i have a silicone injeted in butt how I can remove it please answer some doctors are militing the silicone and get it out of the body with non surgical procedure?? Can you help me to remove that damn bad silicone injection

Hi Dr Chan, if we inject Hyaluronidase to dissolve the HA filler, will it dissolve our own HA that inside our skin as well?

How much do permanent filler cost?

Hi Doctor, I have argyform filler 15 years ago in my lips and they are fine, can I add hyaluronic acid? What do you advise

Thank u sir u are knowledgeable

Dear Doctor. Following the scans youve shown whereby filler lasts far longer than what is understood by most, is there a way to prevent migration/dispersion of the filler? Or would it be best to do individual scans, locate the filler and dissolve it, before admimistering more filler? Hope to hear from you ☺

I have apple cheeks. No infections after four years but I worry. Cheeks dropped and so did filler.one side fatter than the other side. Cost 8000.00 he put so much in. You don’t know you go with what he said. Mess.

please answer me if i put 1/4 ml only volift filler in my smile lines it affect me after years or no?

You say normal fillers last way much longer than supposed to. Well, I had them in my nasiolabio area and after 1 year the wrinkles returned. Maybe there was still some left, but I don't think the effect lasts so long. Can you make a video on that?

By permanent fillers do you mean bellafill? Are you considering Sculptra a collagen stimulator? Do you think that's okay for global volume loss?

After many, many years of having temporary fillers, my body rejected them JUST LIKE THAT! I developed infection and horrible red blisters at the sites (cheeks). My doctor did use the filler dissolver but I was left with scarring and indentations which I am still having treated today FIVE YEARS LATER!

Is pmma or silikon 1000 safe for penile augmentation?

What permanent fillers do you suggest for "dents" in the face?

i know cheek, temple, lip nose filler are common, but have anyone have their forehead filled? i have this hallow in the forehead and needed to get filled so it would look smoother with my nose.

I did temporary filler on my cheeks and lips and I got delay reaction after 5 months. I was getting lumps on my lips twice a week and I had big lump on my cheek and was painful. I was on antibiotics and cortisone pills for two weeks and after finishing my medication I was getting the lumps back. I was getting tired of it and I decided to dissolve it. I will never do it again.

What about the chin being a good permanent area, like the nose?

Which ones are lasting 5 to 10 years? Why not name them?

I wish fillers weren’t so insanely expensive🙁

Can you tell us the trade names of permanent fillers? Is Radiesse a permanent filler?

Do you suggest permanent fillers for chin and jaw? And does permanent fillers migrate?

what are permanent fillers? Bone cement you mean?

Hello, I've had temporary fillers more than 5times to my nose and I want to have a nose job. Is it possible to not use the dissolver? The fillers are very close to my eyes and I'm pretty scared. What do you say?

I've had multiple sessions and many ml of permanent fillers in my face, since I'm HIV-positive (30 years now) and had a lot of facial lipoatrophy and butt lipoatrophy. I had a lot of Bio-Alcamid product, as well as New Plastic, and other PMMA fillers in many sessions since 2001. Despite it being "permanent", it's "gone away" every few years, but I think it migrated a bit to over-fill the "apples" of my cheeks. Had it in my temples, cheeks, and jawline. I'm over-corrected in my cheeks. I'm a 55 year old white male. Wish I could consult with you!

What makes fillers go hard and perform lumps

Do you have any practicioners in NY you'd recommend?

Far too extreme a step and risky just for vanity. I have Profhilo and in the past a small amount of filler.

collagen stimulators are not reversible either thou :(

Dr Chan, could you please advice? I have tried several lip fillers in the past such as Juvederm, Teosyal, Belotero, Radiesse; as well as my own body fat and PRP. I always got a very natural looking and satisfying result in the first place. But unfortunately, after only +/- 7-14 days (yes, that's right) the fillers seems to vanish completely. My surgeon says I am really an exception as far as the longevity of the fillers is concerned. My question: did you have cases like mine, and are there other options (perhaps not hyaluron based ones) or new techniques/products that could work for me? I've Googled a lot about it, but didn't find any good advice here in Europe. many thanks in advance!

What about the breast filler,there’s a lot of beauty clinics offered to us now days ,some use HA filler ,is it safe for the breast

Dr.Chan, I had lip augmentation 18y ago with Aquamid and Bioalcamid permanent filler, 4times. Nothing happened there, but I need correction after years- lips looses volume, its uneven. Can we fill it with hyaluronic acid? Can you help

I love this channel! I discovered your lip filler video and immediately subscribed. I skimmed through the posted videos and I don’t see much talk about cheek jowls/prejowl sulcus, except for this video: m.kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nZukm890mNeyYKc.html. Ever consider making a more detailed video about that? Either about using fillers to reduce the appearance of cheek jowls, or maybe Kybella? I’m thinking about having something done about mine, so I’d love to hear an expert talk about it. Just an idea! Thanks so much for posting all these videos!

So based on that information, Is Voluma consider temporary injection?

Is there a solution to dissolve the permanent lip filler cz they migrated

I see people who are twenty something and only been injecting for a year offering this treatment now. I have not partaken. Shouldn’t there be some type of an experience level prerequisite.

There are permanent fillers that are made out of collagen like bellafill.

The only I would try would be fat injection. It is longer lasting than hyalurone.

Permanent fillers are illegal here in Holland

can i sue if the person who injected me didn't tell me?
