“Botox and fillers are the hottest trend in plastic surgery. They don’t have the lasting effects of actual plastic surgery, but are for those patients who want at least some improvement”
Age Freezing
Just like fashion, trends in aesthetic keep changing albeit at a slower pace. Aesthetic procedures were once left to those in search of the fountain of youth. Now, there is a new trend catching on: age freezing. As aesthetic medicine has become more attainable, people are starting to preserve their youth very early to achieve a certain look and preserve it throughout the years with constant maintenance.
Nefertiti Lift
A well-defined jawline has been a sign of beauty since the time of the Egyptians. This procedure which creates a well toned, smooth and lifted jawline was loved by Queen Nefertiti, whose bone structure continues to be admired in modern times.
The Nefertiti Lift redefines the elegant lines of the jaw and neck for a youthful, more contoured look. It can also lessen the appearance of strong neck muscles, and make the neck and jawline look thinner.
Botulinum Toxin A is a injected along the lower jawline to re-balance the underlying structure and provide lifting in the neck and jawline. When forced to relax, certain muscles can create a ‘pulling up’ effect. Botulinum Toxin A is also injected into the platysmal band muscles, thinning the appearance of the neck.
Smiley Lift
A growing trend in Asia promises to put a permanent smile on your face. It has received reviews at polar extremes such as disturbing and cute.
The procedure involves lifting in the corner of the lips, creating a permanent smile. This trend that originated in Korea is said to make one look more bright and jolly. Some believe that when corners of the mouth lift up during a conversation, the person appears sincere and confident. This look can also be achieved through non-surgical ways.
Hello Puffy Eyes
Whilst many women spend big money on cosmetic concealers, surgery and eye creams to get rid of puffy eyes, there is new trend that attempts the opposite. Aegeyo-sal, which means smiley eyes, is all the rage started by Korea. This little pouch under the eye is not to be confused with eye bags.
The look is actually a slightly plumped up under eye, giving the look of youthfulness and can make the eyes look bigger. Some are resorting to plastic surgery and fat-grafting to attain this look. However, it also can be achieved using fillers. With fillers, when the trend dies off one day, you won’t have to worry as fillers last up to 6 months and it’s a reversible procedure.
Botox and filler treatments are semi-permanent, which means they are reversible most of the time or will wear off after a period of time. Visit Nexus Clinic at Wisma UOA II, Jalan Pinang, for more information.
