Nobody walks into clinic asking “Can you make me look slightly uncanny?” It happens slowly. A little more cheek filler here. Another lip top up there. A bit more chin projection because it “still doesn’t feel defined enough.” And because the changes happen gradually, people (usually the person whose face is slowly inflating) adapt to them visually. That’s filler blindness.

If you’ve noticed heaviness around the lower face, softness along the jawline, or that things look a bit less defined than they once did, you’re in very good company. Jowls are actually one of the most common concerns I see in clinic!

At Aesthetically Refined, I work with women, mostly in their 40s, 50s and beyond, who want to look fresher, not different.
