Jowls will grass you up šŸ˜

Changes in the bone, skin, volume elsewhere in the face… they can all show themselves around the jawline.

Sometimes more than one thing is getting involved.

But these snitches don’t need stitches. šŸ˜‚

They need me to work out what they’re actually grassing you up for.

So when someone points at their jawline and asks me what they need, the honest answer is sometimes:

I don’t know yet.

Not very impressive, I know. šŸ˜‚

But two people can point at exactly the same bit and have very different reasons for why it looks the way it does.

I’d much rather have a proper look at your face before I start suggesting what might help.

Otherwise I’m guessing.

And your face deserves more than that. 😊

I’m getting too old for this šŸ˜

I keep the clinic open later on some days so people can come and see me after work.

Sleep is for the weak šŸ˜’

But at least nobody had to invent a dentist appointment to leave work early.

I’ll call that a win.

Why didn’t anyone tell me? šŸ˜

There is, unfortunately, another kind of grinding that’s considerably less fun.

Bruxism is clenching or grinding your teeth, often while you’re asleep with absolutely no idea you’re doing it.

An aching jaw in the morning, flattened or chipped tooth edges, or tension headaches around your temples can all be clues. Sometimes your dentist spots it before you do.

There are different ways of managing it depending on what’s going on, and it’s something I regularly help patients with in clinic too.

So if your grinding is bothering you, come and have a chat.

As for the other kind…

I think we can all agree that requires considerably more work. šŸ•ŗšŸ˜‚

I’m not marking your homework šŸ‘Øā€šŸ« 😁

You don’t have to walk into an aesthetics consultation having researched every treatment on the internet and decided what you should have.

Someone sat down in front of me recently and said:

ā€œI don’t really know what I’m here for.ā€

Which is actually a perfectly good way to start.

She knew what had been bothering her, what had changed and how she felt about it.

She just didn’t know what treatment that ā€˜translated’ to.

And why would she? šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø

Tell me what you’ve noticed. Show me a photograph if that helps. Point vaguely at your face and say ā€œthis bitā€ if that’s as far as you’ve got. šŸ˜‚

I can work with that (I usually prefer that.)

We’ll talk about what’s changed, what you’d like to achieve and what your options are.

And if I don’t think treatment is appropriate, I’ll tell you that too.

You’re coming for a consultation.

There’s no homework beforehand.

I saw this on the breakfast news today and obviously had to find out what AI thought I should look like. šŸ˜†

Apparently I need a jawline that could open envelopes. šŸ”Ŗ

But people are genuinely taking AI-generated pictures of themselves into aesthetics appointments to show practitioners what they’d like to look like.

But I DO think that could be quite useful.

So if you showed me one, I’d want to know what you liked about it.

Do you look less tired? Is it your skin? Is there something that just looks a bit more like you?

That tells me far more than trying to copy a face AI has made up. šŸ¤–

So if you’ve made yourself an AI face, bring it with you.

Just don’t expect to leave looking like it. šŸ˜‚

And if we all start turning into identical robot people, I’m changing careers.

A patient once told me that overfilled cheeks remind her of Billy the Puppet from Saw 🪚 🫣

And now I can’t unsee it.

It’s funny, but it also explains why so many women are wary of aesthetic treatment. The faces we remember are usually the obvious ones.

Most women I see in Aylesbury want the opposite: natural-looking results that leave them looking fresher, without changing what makes them look like them.

Which seems a perfectly reasonable request.

And avoiding any resemblance to Billy is a fairly decent starting point. šŸ˜‚

Harry really does know how to push my buttons. šŸ˜‚

Joking aside, someone offering a treatment for less than I charge doesn’t automatically mean there’s anything wrong with it.

But when you see a very low price, it’s worth asking what you’re actually paying for.

In aesthetics, the price isn’t just the few minutes it takes to carry out a treatment. There’s the assessment, prescribing where required, clinical judgement, legitimate product sourcing, training, insurance, aftercare (and someone being accountable if things don’t quite go to plan.)

So don’t automatically choose the most expensive practitioner.

And don’t automatically choose the cheapest either.

Ask what’s included.

Who assesses you? Who prescribes, if a prescription is needed? What happens if you need help afterwards?

Those answers tell you far more than the price does.

Harry can stay. For now. šŸ˜‚

Speaking from very recent experience… šŸ˜‚

Hannah and I have just spent a week in France with all six kids.

It was lovely. For a few days.

By the last two they wanted to kill each other and I was quite ready to come home. šŸ˜‚

So I completely understand why this time of year can feel like a bit of a reset for parents.

The school routine starts again, the house gets a little quieter and, for some people, there’s finally a bit more time to think about themselves.

Whatever you do with those first few child-free hours next week - book the appointment you’ve been putting off, meet a friend, go for a walk or just sit somewhere nobody can ask you for anything -

enjoy them. You’ve earned them. šŸ˜‚

I genuinely didn’t know this was a thing. šŸ˜‚

I’ve always known that recommendations and reviews matter, but apparently seeing that half your mates already follow me counts too.

Which is actually rather lovely.

So if you’ve ever unknowingly vouched for me just by being here - cheers. 🄹

And I promise I’ll try to remain alright. šŸ˜‚

Does anyone else play Cheese on Wheels? šŸš—šŸ’Ø

You spot a yellow car, shout CHEESE ON WHEELS, and thoroughly irritate whoever’s in the car with you.

The kids love it šŸ‘€

But the weird thing is, once you start playing, yellow cars are absolutely everywhere.

Obviously there aren’t suddenly more of them.

You’re looking for them.

And we can do the same thing with our faces.

You notice something once and then… there it is again.

Bathroom mirror.
Car mirror.
Photos.

And God forbid you accidentally open your front camera from below.

The thing you noticed might have changed a BIT.

But you’ve also become really good at finding it.

That’s why I’m interested in when you first noticed something and when it actually started bothering you.

Because those two things don’t always happen at the same time.

Anyway. CHEESE ON WHEELS. šŸš•šŸ§€

Now you’ll be looking for yellow cars all day.

Sorry not sorry šŸ˜‚
