I just want to say that the whole time watching this video I was going "omg I love you" with every piece of information you have revealed. I just got a filler done but I have no idea what their credentials are and that is so scary now that I've watched this video! Thank you, thank you, thank you for educating us!
(also big thank you for touching on the beauty topic and how everyone is starting to look the same)

Great informative video! When speaking of the Tear Trough area what filler do you generally use? Honestly, filler does scare me especially in this area .
I would much prefer using a more natural approach such as PRP/ PRF but is the final result comparable to using a filler in that area? Thank you! 😊

[raghavsehgal]

It's so informative and the Dr. Explained so simply and easy to understand!

[bongkins]

Yours videos are really informative. Please make a video on how to reduce open pores.

Dr another excellent video! . Would you please advise what filler you recommend for chin “shadows” and mental crease? Also considering a little Botox in my chin for my 52 year old face. Thoughts on chin Botox? Thank you

[christinedrown]

Thanks for the video! Can you discuss what can go wrong when dissolving filler?

Hi Dr. Swati Kannan My name is Mark When I look at myself at angle I look so youthful with no volume loss I also get the same affect with lighting, I have watched your three videos you have convinced me that you know what your talking about, I enjoyed how in detailed you are in explaining your information to understand it, I also enjoy seeing your passion for the skill and how much you enjoy explaining it, I feel I have some what a full understanding what you want to achieve, I feel so comfortable with your qualities to be able to get me the best results, i would love a free consultation to see what the artist can do with the tools that has been handed to her and if you can keep at all time the angle or the shade I enjoy seeing myself, if your willing to see me, my only days off are Thursday and Fridays,

Dr Kannan, that was a wonderful video. What would be your suggestion if someone aged 44 has just had their second round of PRF EZ Gel for undereye hollowing and the patient has lovely skin, thick etc and is on tretinoin but even after round 2 of PRF EZ Gel, the hollows are still very much there after 2 weeks of having the second session? Would it be time to start looking at a bit of HA fillier?

Great video Dr Swati. Can you do a video in Profhilo or SkinVive. I am based in australia and my provider recommended me chin filler. 1ml of restylane lyft. I am confused if i should go for voluma instead. Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks

[himsingh]

Hey Dr. Swati, really nice video! I was wondering if I can help you edit your videos, manage your youtube channel and also make highly engaging shorts out of them.

[whiteloria]

What skin tightening procedures do you think are worth trying? Some of them use heat and dissolve fat. Why don’t fillers don’t go away 100% like it was thought?

I like your comparison to blueberries 🫐
