Happily, 2015 has cemented the move towards subtlety in the cosmetic industry – the DailyMail have reported twice this year on two of my very happy patients who opted for a subtle face lift using the revolutionary Silhouette soft threads treatment which also goes by the name “one Stitch lift”. This procedure responds to people's desire for effective anti-ageing treatments that will put off or prevent the need for cosmetic surgery while combating sagging brow, jowls and neck.

One of my most popular offerings, the procedure itself takes approximately 1 hour to perform and involves pulling a thread under the skin of the jaw line and lower face and mechanically pulling it upwards, lifting the mid and lower face to improved sagging. The thread itself then stimulates collagen production to add to the effect.

Natural looking results last approximately 18 months and there is considerably less downtime than a surgical facelift, it suits busy patients who have on-the-go lifestyles.

The “wind tunnel facelift” look of the 90’s is becoming a distant memory with more and more people seeking natural looking results.

 Before & After

Dr Leah Totton gives Closer the dos and don'ts of the ever popular cosmetic enhancement treatment

http://www.closeronline.co.uk/2015/11/lip-fillers-everything-you-need-to-know  

Kylie Jenner has done for lips what J Lo and Kim Kardashian did for bums. Instagram's infiltration of pouty seflies has come hand-in-hand with reality star Kylie Jenner's transformation from girl-next-door to global style icon and largely responsible for that shift, are her famous lips.

Despite putting her growing pout down to 'clever make up', Kylie eventually admitted to getting temporary fillers- which even started a global #Kyliejennerchallenge selfie online.

And Dr Leah's clinic alone saw a 70% increase in lip filler enquiries in the 24 hours following Kylie Jenner's confession in May this year.

The temporary cosmetic treatment can last anywhere between 6 to 18 months and cost anything from £300 to £600.

How much do lip fillers cost?

"Fillers usually cost £300-£370 depending on which practitioner does them- I charge £370.

Be very wary of discounted prices or group deals on lip filler - I have had to correct some terrible outcomes when clients have had their lips done at cheap rates & the practitioner has then not been responsive to correct the issues."

How does the process work?

"You are consulted by a cosmetic doctor or nurse practitioner and together you decide on the 
 and shape you would like, consent is obtained, photographs and lip measurements taken, anaesthetic cream is applied and when the lips are numb (normally 30 mins later) you will have a series of injections which tend to only take a few minutes.

"You may be given a cool compress after the procedure to reduce swelling / potential for bruising, before aftercare is explained and you are normally reviewed two weeks later."

What do the dermal fillers consist of?

"Lip filler is a naturally occurring hyaluronic acid gel. My lip filler of choice also contains a built-in anaesthetic which makes the procedure less uncomfortable."

Does it hurt?

"It is uncomfortable but I inject the lips from the outside making it much more bearable."

What should I look for in a doctor/ clinic?

"Look for a well known and respected doctor or clinic that you trust."

Are there any side effects?

"There's potential for temporary bruising, swelling, lumps and asymmetry but these side effects are minimised by going to a reputable cosmetic doctor.

And we couldn't help but ask a few questions about the famous (and perhaps not so sweet) Lord Sugar himself.

What's it like being in business with Lord Alan Sugar?

"It's great, he has a lot of opinions which are always interesting."

Does he ever visit the clinic?

"Yes, but not for treatment!"

Who do you think will win the 2015 series of The Apprentice?

"I think there are some strong candidates and I'd love to see another female winner."
