About this episode
In this new series, Treatments and Regions Uncovered, we drill down into how injectors approach specific areas of the face, the techniques they use, and what they've changed over time. We also explore the patient perspective and alternative treatment options.
In Chapter 1 we tackle the tear trough with Dr Gavin Chan, a Melbourne cosmetic physician with over 16 years in the field who also runs a hugely successful YouTube channel under his clinic's name, Victorian Cosmetic Institute.
We discuss why the tear trough became so popular, what a true tear trough is, genetics and ageing, why patients misdiagnose their concern, expectations and perfectionism, puffiness and the Tyndall effect, why results can change over time, the case that led Gavin to stop tear trough filler, ligament anatomy, midface support, when surgery is better, and dissolving and refilling.
