@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?

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. 🌹

@@bnb0510 You should love yourself for who you are, whatever race you were born with is a part of you.

@@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) 😂
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
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!
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?
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
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!
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.
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.
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
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!! 💖💉
@@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.
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.
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!
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"!
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!!!
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!!
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 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!
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.
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.
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:)
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.
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 😂😂😂
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.
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 😂🙈
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?
You are so delightful to watch! Always informative and funny! You give us things to consider that we may not necessarily think of. I’m not a fan of frankfurter lips...less is definitely more, IMO. I love the Rae Morris reference! She’s been a favorite makeup artist of mine for years! Her approach to makeup is smart and strategic (much like yours in your field). 💋
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.. 😜💋
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!!
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.
I really appreciate you mentioning the instrument you prefer to use. The whole less entry points is something I never thought of, and suddenly I know I've seen some fillers that look like they're less full in the center on both the top and bottom, they look like they were separated into quarters. I always thought that was a stylized choice, and I'm sure often it is, but I wonder how often it happens just by the method and technique application.
thanks for this Doc, it is so educational! I was contemplating a lip filling lately, tastefully though, unlike the huge lips I see on instagrams but after seeing your video, I might just skip it. Nice day!
I regretted mine and they lasted for waaaaaaay longer than they were supposed to. Around the border of my lip filler is still visible 5 years later im not kidding, I hate it
@@kalia31 Nice to know. I wanted to do my vermilion line because It's not well defined and I was going to tattoo my lips due to uneven coloring. Now, I'm not so sure. I am kinda tight lipped. And that just sucks.
Barbara Vance so a friend of mine who has hers tattooed says that the tattoos also fade unevenly because of how much we move our lips, which is fine as long as you keep getting them touched up. Maybe instead of the vermillion line fillers, the first injector I ever saw used to inject underneath\behind the fatty part where my top lip touches my bottom lip when my mouth is closed, by filling that underneath part of my lip that wasn’t usually visible, it was brought forward as volume was added making it visible, as part of the fatty middle part of your lips... if that makes sense. Just because it is the middle meatier part I found it just added a bit of volume in a more natural way, avoids the very precise and obvious solid ridge that isn’t natural at all, kinda looks a bit like a ‘beak’.
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.
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!
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.
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!
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.
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?
OMG it’s so refreshing to hear you say that you inject using a lot less than 1mL!! I have the same philosophy! Patients forget how they looked before getting lip filler and they often think that all the filler has resolved when it hasn’t, it’s more that the initial plumpness that they have lost and desire to keep around which is why I offer 1/2 syringes.
Hi love the channel. Great work. Quick question: I got dermal filler 1ml of Juvederm Ultra 3 yesterday for the first time ever. Should I massage my lips or should I just do nothing
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.
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.
nice video and editing!! i'm pretty much satisfied with the size of my lips but yet i still wanna get lip fillers because they're slightly asymmetrical
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.
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!!

Hi! Dr. Chan do you think lip fillers can reduce the appearance of an underbite? My bottom lip protrudes more than my top. Wondering if lip fillers can help my side profile. I would really appreciate your feedback. This video was super helpful. Thank you!
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,
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.
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

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.
Totally agree with you!

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!
I have full lips I've never considered my lips as an organ lol, too much pressure out there for men and women to be perfect all the time
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?
Because it’s true
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
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!
Entire childhood I was bullied for big lips. Feel so good about that getting promoted!
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.
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.
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
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!! 💖💉
Thank you! Love the education!! Such important variables To consider, also very concise and very informative.
Hi Danae. From another Danae here :)
Thank you so much for spreading the knowledge on this topic 🙌🏻
Angelina Jolie lips - Attractive. Kylie Jenner lips - Unattractive.
Her lips are not 100 percent natural. But it suits her face.
megha singh it is. Her lips were big as a kid too look it up
@@happylife3930 watch lorry hill's video on angelina's speculated surgeries and you'll be surprised lmao
ani t wow i just saw it. I feel betrayed, but hopeful that maybe I can get that procedure ahahah
@@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.
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.
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!
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"!
Thank you Vanessa. Only a little Botox now and then
@@viccosmeticinstitute I was also wondering the same thing :-)) thanks for being honest.
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!!!
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
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!!
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
such cute edits!! very entertaining, thanks!!
Love the way you explain the process/procedure. And I do think there is too many big lips out there.
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
This trend will pass
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!

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.
Wish more doctors were like him!!! He really knows what he is talkin about
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.
Great video! Super informative.
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:)
sophia bush has small lips and i think shes gorgeous. beauty is not just about one feature, its about the overall thing.
Very detailed and thorough video. Thank you
Thank you Shannon! Glad you liked it
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.
I’m not a doctor but I do do Hyaluron pen fillers and I study your videos in order to achieve a natural look for my clients. Thank you.
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 😂😂😂

Same question
Thank you for this honest video!
Thank you
Absolutely logical! Thank you for posting!
Very helpful video! Thanks for making it.
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 😂🙈
Thank you doc, very good summary🙌🏽💋
I loved this video and the petrol station analogy
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
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?
You are so delightful to watch! Always informative and funny! You give us things to consider that we may not necessarily think of. I’m not a fan of frankfurter lips...less is definitely more, IMO. I love the Rae Morris reference! She’s been a favorite makeup artist of mine for years! Her approach to makeup is smart and strategic (much like yours in your field). 💋
What a lovely comment! Thank you ! Yes, we love Rae Morris too. To look natural is to look attractive.

Love your videos, could you do a video on lip lifts? I just recently discovered this and I really am considering getting it done.
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!!
Dr chan is way too cute ❤️
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 really appreciate you mentioning the instrument you prefer to use.
The whole less entry points is something I never thought of, and suddenly I know I've seen some fillers that look like they're less full in the center on both the top and bottom, they look like they were separated into quarters. I always thought that was a stylized choice, and I'm sure often it is, but I wonder how often it happens just by the method and technique application.
Excellent video! Thank you!
thanks for this Doc, it is so educational! I was contemplating a lip filling lately, tastefully though, unlike the huge lips I see on instagrams but after seeing your video, I might just skip it. Nice day!
I regretted mine and they lasted for waaaaaaay longer than they were supposed to. Around the border of my lip filler is still visible 5 years later im not kidding, I hate it
@@kalia31 Nice to know. I wanted to do my vermilion line because It's not well defined and I was going to tattoo my lips due to uneven coloring. Now, I'm not so sure. I am kinda tight lipped. And that just sucks.
Barbara Vance so a friend of mine who has hers tattooed says that the tattoos also fade unevenly because of how much we move our lips, which is fine as long as you keep getting them touched up. Maybe instead of the vermillion line fillers, the first injector I ever saw used to inject underneath\behind the fatty part where my top lip touches my bottom lip when my mouth is closed, by filling that underneath part of my lip that wasn’t usually visible, it was brought forward as volume was added making it visible, as part of the fatty middle part of your lips... if that makes sense. Just because it is the middle meatier part I found it just added a bit of volume in a more natural way, avoids the very precise and obvious solid ridge that isn’t natural at all, kinda looks a bit like a ‘beak’.
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.
Thank you so much for all this information!
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!
Where do you get them done? Im looking for someone in the boston area
@@letsdoit7300 In the Portland, Oregon area.
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.
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!
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.
Thank you for the informative videos!
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
OMG it’s so refreshing to hear you say that you inject using a lot less than 1mL!! I have the same philosophy! Patients forget how they looked before getting lip filler and they often think that all the filler has resolved when it hasn’t, it’s more that the initial plumpness that they have lost and desire to keep around which is why I offer 1/2 syringes.
Hi love the channel. Great work. Quick question: I got dermal filler 1ml of Juvederm Ultra 3 yesterday for the first time ever. Should I massage my lips or should I just do nothing
great material ! thx
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.
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.
nice video and editing!! i'm pretty much satisfied with the size of my lips but yet i still wanna get lip fillers because they're slightly asymmetrical
thank you Diana. Can be hard to correct asymmetry though so it is important to have realistic expectations with the correction.
im actually doing a botox lip flip BEFORE i consider lip filler :D Thanks for the great video
I just can't stop counting how often you blink XD but love the video, basically the Dr.Mike of plastic surgeons!
I noticed that myself too... But can't help it!
This Doctor talking about lips issue actually got beautiful pulpy natural lips. 🧡
He's had procedures done though.
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.
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!!

Hi! Dr. Chan do you think lip fillers can reduce the appearance of an underbite? My bottom lip protrudes more than my top. Wondering if lip fillers can help my side profile. I would really appreciate your feedback. This video was super helpful. Thank you!
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 remember how I used to get made fun of for having big lips. And now it's attractive. Heh...
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.
