We’re cosmetic doctors – the 4 tell-tale signs someone has had work done & the trick to making your tweakments subtle
HAVE you ever wondered if someone you know has had help turning back the hands of time? Or have you thought about getting a little nip and tuck yourself?
Now, three cosmetic surgeons have lifted the lid on their profession to Fabulous, revealing the tell-tale signs that someone has had something done – and what you can do to ensure your work is subtle but effective…
Expressionless Face
Dr Usman Qureshi, aesthetic doctor and founder of Luxe Skin by Dr Q says:
“One tell-tale sign is an ‘expressionless face’. Related to overly tight skin, a face that appears expressionless could result from muscles pulled too tightly during a face or brow lift.
“It’s also possible that injectables like Botox could have been administered incorrectly, resulting in a stiff, unnatural look.
“Therefore, even when getting a common, relatively straightforward procedure like a facelift or Botox, it’s crucial that you choose only an experienced, knowledgeable surgeon.”

“Moreover, non-invasive treatments like Morpheus8 are fantastic alternatives to Botox/face lifts.
“An FDA approved skin tightening treatment, Morpheus8 achieves superior skin tightening, lifting and contouring by restoring natural collagen and elastin and even smoothing down under skin.
Disproportionate Features
Dr Usman Qureshi continues:
“‘Disproportionate Features’ are also a tell-tale sign of having work done.
“Generally, facial symmetry is highly favoured when it comes to appearance, so knowledgeable surgeons develop a sensitivity to this and always keep it in mind.
“There’s actually a “golden ratio” for the ideal proportions of facial structures, and if an incorrect rhinoplasty or facelift significantly throws off this ratio, the unbalanced results could be disappointing.
Hard Lips
Dr Elif Benar, aesthetic doctor and founder of Dr Elif Clinic says:
“One tell-tale sign is when the ‘Lips are hard’. Injectable fillers containing hyaluronic acid can mimic the body’s natural collagen to give the lips a subtle plumping effect.
“However, if not administered properly, the results may look hard and stiff rather than supple and plush.
“Even in the case of non-permanent injectable fillers, it’s important that you seek an experienced plastic surgeon or dermatologist for your injections to ensure your safety and the best results.

“The trick is to target the right areas with a lower level of filler, whether you’re looking to keep dark circles at bay or ‘flip the tip’ of your lip.
“Tell your practitioner you want your filler to appear virtually undetectable, and they’ll be able to delicately plump lips, cheeks and even deep wrinkles – all without giving your secret away.
“Reddish or purple bruises after any needle injection are common. Avoid scheduling a treatment just before a major social event—and give yourself time to heal, just in case.
“Ice your face after a treatment, and apply a neutralizing concealer to hide bruises if necessary. You can also ask our team for more advice.”

Surprised Eyebrows
Dr Osman Bashir Tahir, aesthetic doctor, plastic surgeon and founder of Halcyon Aesthetics says:
“Brows that resemble Mr. Spock from Star Trek and give you a perpetually surprised or angry expression will be a dead giveaway to others.
“Minimize the risk of this and other unwanted side effects by choosing a qualified provider who uses proper techniques from proper training.
“Designed for those who want to dial back the years in the most natural-looking way possible, tweakments are the ‘no makeup-makeup’ of injectables – and they’re becoming big beauty news.

“The goal of tweakments isn’t to change the shape and structure of your face. It’s to trigger an influx of, ‘you look well… have you been away?’ compliments.
“You’ll know you’ve found the perfect tweakment when you look like you, but fresher, tighter and brighter.”
