Over-treatment, filler migration and the alienisation of faces with Dr Steven Harris

With Dr Steven Harris, Cosmetic Physician, London, UKHosts Dr Jake Sloane and David Segal

About this episode

Dr Steven Harris is a London cosmetic physician with an international reputation for treating the face holistically, respecting its anatomy and proportions, an approach he has championed for many years with his patients and on social media.

This episode tackles fillers and the growing phenomenon of over-treatment: how and why it is happening, whose fault it is and what the implications are. We debate whether techniques like tenting may contribute to filler migration, the truth about filler longevity, and Steven's approach to poor filler results, including his dissolving clinic and how he uses hyaluronidase.

To balance the argument, we also explore the role of the injector: are they artists free to deliver what patients ask for, or should they only treat according to their own aesthetic principles?
