Hi, I've got really deep lines from my nose to the corner of my mouth on both sides which are worse on the right side. I've been under a lot of stress recentlty and they seem to have got much worse. My cheeks have sunk and my forhead is all wrinkly too. I'm falling apart. I'm really feeling my age. I need to do something to get some self confidence back. Can you make any suggestions or do I need to come and see you first.

There are many procedures that we can do, to help improve your confidence, firstly let’s deal with the nose to mouth lines, we can improve these by using a dermal filler called Perlane, this will plump up the lines on the day of the treatment so the results are quick and will last for approx 8 to 9 months. As you are under a lot of stress some time this cause some weight loss in some people, and in many the weight tends to come off the face first, and can be very difficult for the weight to return to the face. We can correct this by using another, dermal filler called Sub-Q, this is place in the areas where you have lost fat, in your case the cheeks, this is easily replaced with some times just one visit, this will last for 12 months. As for the lines in your forehead we can smooth these out with Botox, for a quick fix or we can create a treatment plan for you to have ProFractional, this is the new gold standard in laser rejuvenation and can produce some fantastic permanent results with a maintenance program. I hope this has been helpful for you, and as given you some hope to restore your lost self confidence, all the very best Lee.
